(Every friday, here at nerdbastards, you can come to find the sexy side of nerd pop culture in a little weekly feature we call “Sexy Cosplay of The Week”. Cosplay is a known term in the nerd-verse when fans dress up as their favorite characters from pop culture, either from movies, comics, TV, gaming and so on. A lot of times it’s quite sexy and what we do is find the sexy and bring it to you, you’re welcome.)

The form of Cosplay has seen it’s share of good, bad and fugly (talkin to you, fatties in spandex) but there are a select few who do it better than anyone else. Fortune may favor the bold but so to does it favor those that are bountiful in bosom and buttocks and are true to the culture of nerd. Very rare does one encounter a curvaceous, curiosty such this. Meagan “VirtualGirl” Vanburkleo is more than a nerd with a vagina. A comic book connoisseur. A masquerading madam. A voluptuous vixen that proves that a nerd males unrealistic fantasy of the female form can be real. Her embodiment of ample chested comic heroines and villains such as Witchblade, Magdelena, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Wonderwoman, Zantanna and many others are rivaled next to none.

We at nerdbastards salute this gorgeous gal and her astonishing contributions to the cosplay community.

after the jump you will find a small collection of Meagan’s best realizations

Admit it. When that harpoon speared Wash in the latter third of Joss Whedon’s Serenity, you felt like your own heart was being staked, didn’t you? Thanks to an upcoming one-shot from comic and actor Patton Oswalt, you’ll soon get a chance to honor Wash’s memory and learn more about him. (more…)

What a weird week in books. Not a lot of superhero action and only, like, five books that I personally pull coming out today, so I don’t have much to yak about, but for y’all, I’ll try.

Also, completely depressed about Corey Haim. Nobody better fuck with me today, seriously.

Less whining and a full list of the day’s books after the jump…

The Iron Man 2 Trailer #2 appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. With even more action and beautifully rendered affects make this comic book come to life even more so the its predecessor, or any othe comic movies for that matter. With a Star riveted cast including Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson… Whiplash has more to say this time around and tells you WHY when their is blood in the water the sharks will come, and it makes more sense. It also shows a really cool sequence that explains how after Stark has his race car whipped into shreds and is out of costume, he has a chance against Whiplash. With an assemblage that attaches to his chest and expands to form fit Ala’ Transformers. This trailer is getting me even mor excited for this Sequel..and don’t be nervous guys…Think about Superhero sequels…Spiderman 2: Amazing- X-Men 2: Unbelievable- Dark Knight: Oscar Worthy…So I think Iron Man 2 is a safe bet…as for part 3? Lets cross that Bridge when we come to it.

Iron Man 2 is in theaters May 7, 2010.

Synopsis:

With the world now aware of his dual life as the armored superhero Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) faces pressure from the government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the military. Unwilling to let go of his invention, Stark, along with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, must forge new alliances — and confront powerful enemies.

It’s Friday! What does that mean? It’s “Marvel/DC” time! Yeah, I know we’re a little late with it. Screw you. (more…)

Howdy folks. Here’s your full list as well as my recommendations. There are mostly only “At Least Flip Through the Fucking Things” this week. Except for Sweet Tooth

I’ll tell you more after the jump:

“I have to tell you something very Important.”

“Oh My god my have crabs!”

“No…Yes,but thats not the point. Please, I have something important to tell you, meet me at the picnic table in 10 seconds…”

“Hello beth you may recall 10 seconds ago I asked you to meet me here, at the picnic table…”

…….OK you should all get the movie quote, if you don’t? Well then how dare you call yourself a nerd!!! Ok, so you may recall last week I wrote column making a big deal out of the the “Then unknown” Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter…Well First things first. Here is the made for commercial ad for the book (not the film)…Which looks funny as hell. But that is just part of this news..I came down from the mountain and called dibs like Moses…

Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, are teaming up again to produce a project:They’re banging out the JUST released book, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Screen Daily:

reports the deal, but doesn’t have much additional detail. Grahame-Smith will adapt the screenplay from his own novel. Interesting choice, as when an author adapts his own work for the screen there’s always a chance that he won’t be able to get any distance from the material. That can make paring down the text a problematic enterprise. Then again, who better to get inside the material than the creator?

So last week, I went on a nerd rage and wrote this post and once again, I apologize for the nerd rage that was unleashed there. After days of the BLEACH/Incarnate thing being blown out on the internet and after Radical, Viz, and BLEACH manga-ka Kubo releasing a statement, Nick Simmons finally made his statement about the matter, and this time, its the REAL Nick Simmons. This is what he said:

“Like most artists I am inspired by work I admire. There are certain similarities between some of my work and the work of others. This was simply meant as an homage to artists I respect, and I definitely want to apologize to any Manga fans or fellow Manga artists who feel I went too far. My inspirations reflect the fact that certain fundamental imagery is common to all Manga. This is the nature of the medium.

I am a big fan of Bleach, as well as other Manga titles. And I am certainly sorry if anyone was offended or upset by what they perceive to be the similarity between my work and the work of artists that I admire and who inspire me.”

It is nice for him to apologize but it also sounds to me that he believes he has done nothing wrong, and who knows, that may be the case. It might be awhile till what ever is settled about this situation, but hopefully it doesn’t get too out of hand again like last week with a bunch of folks on the web raging it up. If this showed anything, its that a nerd will go all out angry in the one place they can, the Internet.

Growing up I have seen many TV sets that have some theme, like a Spongebob or Disney Princess theme (which BTW, check out todays list of Doable Disney Princesses), and I felt bad for one friend who was always got hand downs from his older brother and sister and ended up getting his sisters Barbie Theme TV/VCR set. Well, too bad we are not kids of today because these HDTV will totally redeem that Barbie crap he had in his room. RTC23 is releasing a line of LCD & LED HDTV that features Marvel Super Heroes. Not only does the frame of the TV shows the character but when you turn the TV on as well, you see the featured Marvel Super Hero. The TV comes in various of sizes and the price ranges from $338.88 (22″ LCD) – $1988.88 (46 ” LED). You’ll notice that Spider-Man is missing from the bunch, in which, you can thank Sony for that. Check after the break to look at other Marvel Themed TVs. (more…)

How could we continue along with Sexy Cosplay of the week without recognizing one of the most convincing and sexiest cosplayers of all time? Heck, one could say the recent popularity of Cosplay sky rocketed because of this big chested babe. You could very way say she is a foremother of Cosplay. I am of course refering to Bellechere. You may not know the name but if you have ever googled sexy nerds then you’ve seen her. Belle took the internet by storm back in Dec. 2009  as Ivy Valentine from Namco’s Soul Calibur. Convincing would be an understatement. She was and is the physical embodiment of Soul Calibur’s top heavy whip wielding dominatrix. Ivy may be her most recognized and appreciated form of Cosplay but this curvy lass has been able to use her assets to fill other busty characters of pop culture. Red Sonja, the she devil with a sword. Brian Pulido’s Lady Death. DC superheroin and everyones favorite eye candy Powergirl. She-Hulk, Black Cat, Spiderwoman, Belle has rocked them all.

Big boobed characters of fiction are often unrealistic forms of nerd fantasy but Belle proves that this can be real. We salute you good woman. You keep dressing up and will keep drooling.
