08/27/2005 -- E-mail should be restored. The Batmobile contest is extended until Monday, August 29, 2005, 11:59pm CDT.

08/07/2005 -- Want to see Wizard World Chicago 2005 stuff? Click Here! Want to see our review of the Batmobile and win some other cool Corgi Batproducts? Click Here! CONTEST EXTENDED! Because of a flaw in the ad banner system, we've extended the contest deadline to August 25.


ASM Newsbox
07/28/2005 -- We're still here. Got some Batman stuff and a contest to go up soon. The recent overload of ASMzine.com has made us a bit wary of updates, but we think we can forge ahead with some stuff. We'll have Wizard World Chicago next week, perhaps some new Xevox stuff, and maybe a Transformers: Cybertron review or two.

07/28/2005 -- Well, the page never did get much better in the way of aesthetics, but you can check out our entire San Diego Comic Con Coverage. We're going to continue doing straight HTML for our large coverage and hopefully in the near future, a better solution will present itself.


ASM Newsbox
07/14/2005 -- UPDATE! -- Okay. Right now, we've got Daniel and Amy in San Diego. They have internet access, so check out our San Diego Comic Con Coverage. We crashed the server, unfortunately, so no blog at the moment. Just steamlined links for the time being, and the location moved, FYI. It's ugly right now; it's been a bit of a chore trying to get stuff pulled together. Hopefully, I'll be able to pretty it up a bit. If not, well, then just stay tuned for more pictures!
