Hey, first comment!
Hard to go wrong with some Daleks. They became my favorite Doctor Who villian after seeing "Doomsday".
Holy Shit, indeed.

From our beloved and trusted Wikipedia:
Daleks were recently featured in an unauthorized pornographic feature, Abducted by the Daloids (although the disc itself uses "Daleks"). In the film, the "Daloids" (portrayed by several Dalek models) abduct three scantily-clad models and watch lesbian scenes. The BBC took action to prevent sale of the DVD when learning of it in November 2005. Another pornographic parody, entitled Dr. Loo and the Filthy Phaleks was released earlier in 2005.

Ahhh, good to see some Dalek love.
I demand ROM vs. Daleks - immediately!

Man, even in comics form Doctor Who sucks...
1/17/2007 1:52 AM
Even as a kid I always thought Dr Who smoked balls, maybe it's because I remember seeing the spin-off comic ABSLOM DAAK: DALEK KILLER which kicked all sorts spectacular ass and wondering "why doesnt Dr Who have a chainsaw sword rather than piss poor ballpoint pen looking gadgets".
Abslom Daak, fans of the ISB should Google up on this awesome s.o.b. right now, you wont be dissapointed. Steve Dillon artwork and I'm pretty sure he was the first guy ever to have a chainsaw sword, way before Warhammer, recognize.

Bah, these are Tom Baker era Daleks. I can defeat them with that miraculous invention known as stairs...
1/17/2007 3:10 AM
is the inside of a Dalek... holding... tank... thing really really big, like the inside of the Tardis?
Alo, if I was to just run up to one and push it over, could it get back up.
1/17/2007 3:19 AM
You like daleks too? Can I carry your books for you?

There's an issue of "Power Man and Iron Fist," #79, which features a psuedo-Doctor (Professor Gamble)fighting psuedo-Daleks (Incinerators/Dreadlox)! ROM doesn't show up but two out of three ain't bad!
Here is a link to a profile of Gamble, which has a link to info on the Incinerators as well.
1/17/2007 7:37 AM
Well, now you're just catering to my specific tastes. What is WRONG with you?
That said, you can also defeat Tom Baker-era Daleks with a well-positioned hat. Nothing sadder than a Dalek screaming "I cannot see! My vision is impaired! I cannot see!"
But comics Daleks have a little more punch to them. They hovered (or at least had personal saucers) way before Remembrance of the Daleks and the new pimped up versions.

No love for Abslom Daak?? He has a chainsaw sword, and a ponytail, back when they were cool....briefly.

Ooh, Dr. Who comics! Is there a chance we'll be seeing anything about Death's Head? You know, the rad Death's Head from Transformers and Dr. Who, not the slightly less rad and more XtrEeM Death's Head II from Every Early 90s Marvel Comic.
I dunno. I just like Death's Head, is all.
1/17/2007 9:08 AM
Sims - stop posting about cool stuff. This is your final warning.

I'm with you, Fiendenstein. Abslom Daak is awesome!

*high-fives Sad Captain Party*
Death's Head = Awesome, the gem in the wonky crown of Marvel UK (and yeah the re-vamp wasn't as cool), he also needs ISB love!
And thats three posts for me, which is about 2 too many
1/17/2007 9:37 AM
True fact: Daleks are the pissed off descendants of R2D2.
And they're also awesome.
I'm not a big fan of the old Who series, but I'd love to read some of the comics.
1/17/2007 10:23 AM
Does anybody else think that the Daleks should be updated, a la Sentinels in Morrison's New X-Men?
...not the voices, trough. The Daleks' voices scared the shit out of me as a kid.
1/17/2007 10:30 AM
The ISB: Year 3 is what love feels like.
1/17/2007 2:23 PM
This blog was amazing BEFORE Chris revealed his love of Daleks. Now I think he may have redefined my entire concept of amazement!
1/17/2007 2:40 PM
captain supercool,
The new BBC series did a bit of pimping out of the Daleks for their recent appearances. I thought the first, "Dalek", was a bit too emo for my tastes, the two part season ender was pretty neat. They can float now, so it's all good in the hood. But I really don't think the basic design needs to be messed with too much. Efficient (supposed to be, damn stairs) and deadly. No bling neccessary.
And as a young "Doctor Who" fan with only intermintent access to the show via a fuzzy PBS station, I loved those comics. Even had interviews and features about the show. I did not, however, dig on Aabslom Daak one little bit. Anyone can be a bad-ass with a chainsaw sword and a ponytail. Google-eyed gadabouts with atrocious fashion sense whipping cosmic ass via collosal amounts of bullshit? Now you're singing my song, son.
1/17/2007 6:17 PM
I too demand a Death's Head retrospective, yes?
Who else has fought the Transformers, Doctor Who, and the Fantastic Four?
1/17/2007 7:08 PM
captain supercool,
Blasphemy! Daleks are the pinnacle of design and functionality. It's what the iPhone wish it could be. That's like saying that Iron Fist need a makeover.
1/17/2007 8:41 PM
Dalek porn?
EJACULATE! EJACULATE!
1/18/2007 7:43 AM
Dave Gibbons displayed he has pretty much talent, I mean, there is so difficult to find another person as talented as him, specially because his design are simple, but modern.
