    50 Cent’s Just-released LP WAR ANGEL inspired by Avatar Press comic

    Rapper 50 Cent just told MTV news:

    “I used the War Angel title for it [because] I read a comic book through Marvel Comics. The guy who created it, he’s done ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ and illustrations I’m familiar with,” 50 told MTV News. “He created this concept: War Angel. God created these angels to create war. It’s necessary on some level. I took the concept. It’s kinda from the perspective I grew up under.”

    Of course, he’s talking about the Avatar Press title by Brian Pulido, as MTV Splash Page’s Rick Marshall clarifies:

    While the “War Angel” miniseries that debuted the Brian Pulido character in 2005 was actually published by Avatar Press (not Marvel), we’ll forgive 50’s attribution confusion. I mean, come on — do you want to be the one to tell him he made a mistake?

    In Whitechapel, a mystery continues to unfold. Two of the FreakAngels begin to use their skills to determine what lurking danger may threaten the remnants of their world. Welcome to Friday morning, it’s FreakAngels time and that means all’s right in our world even if not in theirs, and we’re waking up this morning with a picture appropriately entitled FreakAngels Got My Back:

    A very special thanks to our beautiful Mystery Woman for helping to get FreakAngels Friday off to a good start this week, whose identity I have vowed to keep secret.

    There’s murder, mischief, construction, and yes, chikkinz in Whitechapel this week — a level of activity which can be matched only by the number of schemes unfolding in the Avatar office this weekend. But even if you’re working for the weekend too, there’s still FreakAngels Friday.

    Very special thanks to Lycanthropy Linguistics expert Rootfireember for the extradimensional redthulu assist in announcing this morning’s ep.

    And btw, I think I’m about out of FA Friday photos right now. If you’d like to help introduce an upcoming episode, let me know at twitter.com/Avatarpress.

    To no one’s surprise, Kait gets pissed when wet. I mean, we all do, right? Luckily, the forecast calls for sun and 70’s here today, not unlike this recent day at Giant’s Stadium, Bamboozle music fest, where Michael Ragosta of Patent Pending shows us how to announce FreakAngels Friday for real:


    Special thanks to Michael and his band Patent Pending for flashing the Friday Flag on stage at Giant’s Stadium. That’s really cool. I see they’ve got an album coming this summer, so check that out. (photo credit Ben Peterson)
