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…

This is not, I repeat NOT our “Sexy Cosplay of The Week” (which is up every Fri. afternoon). No, what this is, is the equivilant of taking your genitals, putting them in a blender and setting it to frap. To say this is a poor execution of cosplay would be a severe understatement. Will never look  at Felicia from Capcom’s Dark Stalkers the same ever again . As much as we are inclined to comment on this great big mess we’re just too afraid of Karma and well, fat girl backlash. We’re bastards but we’re not mean bastards. That’s what the comment section is for. I  am, though, reminded of a old sang thats rings true for todays example of Cosplay gone wrong. As Mama always said “If you can’t be a good example, you just have to be a horrible warning”. This couldn’t be more of a clearer warning to the walking mounds of flesh out there wishing to dress up as their favorite character from pop culture. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

(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.)

Ok, so we’re a little lazy with this weeks edition of Sexy Cosplay. Our priorities are elsewhere today. We are on a mission to find the bastards reasponsible for eating the lefts overs from last nights dinner at Cheese Cake Factory. Nobody fucks with a nerd and his cheesecake. Heads are gonna roll!

Anway, so, Cammy White from Street Fighter is…. well, the reason why nerdy boys get sent to the hospital for severe penile damage. Ya, she is a fictional, pixaleted character from the worlds most beloved fighting game but damn if those long legs, luring posteriar, blow job handles…errr, I mean pig tails and that mysterious chin scar don’t make her nerd spank bank material. So it’s without question that Ole’ legs McGee here  is by far one of Cosplays most inspired characters.

For your gawking pleasure here is a small collection of the sexiest gals dressed up as Cammy. We don’t know who these girls are, again are priorities are else where today, but just sit back relax and try not to hurt your genitals.

Swordplay is a major part of a lot of movies. Anti climactic, final fights or downright dirty army vs. army brawls. But these men are usually lead or inspired by ONE amazing warrior. Or the ONE  amazing warrior has a reason to keep on fighting..This is a list of the most amazing wielders of the blade in movies.

I can’t put these in Order from 1 to 10. So what I’m gonna have to do is keep it has the The Top 10 BEST. Such as ALL of them are the best. But that won’t satisfy you all, I am required to make an actual countdown. So my hand has been moved not by me but of my pain. My pain that I can’t leave well enough alone. and even though some are better or to correct myself…Some may be better to you… I want feedback. Please send me your ideas? Anybody I’m leaving out? And please Highlander nerds, PLEASE don’t tell me Kurgan or McLeod were left out! I implore you! All they did was grunt and bang swords together…Come up with some GOOD ones.

So here are the Top 10 Best Swordsmen! These are the elite, cinematically, proficiently and charismatically.

There are quite a few less then favorable reviews of Kevin Smiths new flick “Cop-Out” and this is not one of them. Is it a great film? Is it with out moments of mediocrity and awkwardness? No. Despite it’s minor flaws “Cop-Out” is a homage to the interracial buddy cop films of the 80’s (Lethal Weapon, 48hrs) and delivers to which it parodies. It’s a fun ride that will pistol whip you with hilarity and will remind you of a sub genra once forgotten.

The plot, which is a little silly but doesn’t really matter with these types of buddy cop films: Detective Paul Hodges (Tracy Morgan) a cartoonish, motor mouthed, simpleton with a gun and his tough, world heavy partner/friend of 9 years Jimmy Monroe botch a major bust are swiftly suspended for being renegade cops who play by their own rules. This couldn’t have come a worse time, because Willis’s daughter (Michelle Trachtenberg) is about to get married and he needs to raise $50,000 to pay for her big day. So he bites the bullet and is about to sell his father’s priceless rare Andy Pafko baseball card when a drug-addicted parkour enthusiast (Seann William Scott) steals the item and sells it to a drug lord named Poh Boy (Guillermo Diaz). This sets in motion a comical chain of events in which Willis and Morgan try to retrieve their stolen property, catch the bad guys and, if time permits, prove that Morgan’s wife (Rashida Jones) isn’t cheating on him.

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.

It’s a tale many of us nerds are familiar with from comics, films, tv and video games: the heroic orphan. Some of these kids have no memory of their parents, while some older children watch them get murdered. Some might later find new homes, while others wander the world in isolation.

Orphans in fiction are meant to reflect our own fears and differences from society at large; it’s something to “overcome.” In the cases below, the orphaned children (mostly) overcome the raw deal life has handed them and embark upon a hero’s journey. Below, check out a five fictional orphans who found their mojo and did great things.

Attention Readers: It’s been a few months but Nerdbastards is back with it’s weekly list of whats new in Comics. We provide you a complete list of whats out for the week with some suggestions on what you should be picking up. Providing this list and commentary is the lastest addition to the Nerdbastards staff Alicia Luma. You’ll learn about her in a second but for more info you can follow Alicia on twitter.

I’m Alicia, the girl that works in the comic shop. Yep, bringing the estrogen to the party. My comic shop, Local Heroes in Norfolk VA, isn’t really mine, I just work there. Always on new comic day and then whenever the boss-man needs a break. I DO read comics and I did before I started at the store. I don’t read manga, I DO read just about everything Vertigo puts out. I love DCU super heroes (I would bone Batman into his grave FOR REALS), but Marvel… not so much. So, if I sound one-sided, its cause I am. Feel free to argue with me, I am full of witty comebacks.
So, here I will list all of the week’s new comic releases and talk about a couple I am looking forward to. Also, I reserve the right to amend my opinion next week after actually getting my hands on the book. Cause you never know.

Click after the jump for the full list of Comics as well as my suggestions in my list of “You Must Damn Well Buy This”.

For many many years zombies have been depicted through film, literature, and old people… but have we really been paying attention? The answer is no. But luckily for all of you, I have. Call it paranoia or creepy that i watch the girl next door undress with binoculars. Damn it. I was trying to keep this serious. *AHEM* I have paid close attention to fictional accounts and incidents in which zombies have been encountered and I can honestly say that there are 10 tips that you, the masses, should know in order to survive a zombie apocalypse. Follow each of them closely and precisely, there should be no variation of these tips incorporated with your own. I’m a professional, well “technically” I’m not, but you can decide for yourself. If you are unsatisfied then Nerdbastards.com is willing to give you a free Sony 50″ flat screen and 3000 dollars cash. Just kidding.. Ah Damn, I’m sooo fired… But seriously, pay attention and you just might survive.

Yes, we could always go back and watch the real topless Lee Loo played by Milla Jovovich in The Fifth Element but we’ve seen that hundreds of times already (or at least this bastard has). It’s always sexier seeing a real life nerd girl dress up as the ass kicking, orange haired, multipass holding Leeloo. The white sectional piece Leeloo was re-born into is quite a popular costume in the cosplay-verse (thank you god) but Anna here from her PRON site, nerdpron.com (Note: link is for 18 and older) does it better than most. Perhaps it’s her exposed boobies that made her stand out from the rest. OK, we admit it, they did but come on, you can’t argue with boobies now can you? On a side note: Does anybody else have a craving for fried chicken (reference from the movie)?
