The Rambo drawing above is by the very talented Eli Minaya.  I met Eli at this year’s MegaCon.  I’d never seen Eli’s art before, but decided on the spot to see about getting a con sketch from him.  Eli was up for it and Rambo seemed the natural choice.  As you can see from the piece above, it was. 

You can see more of Eli’s art at his site.

Why Sylvester Stallone Should Not Make Rambo 5.

Craig / / 2012, Rambo 5

On May 2, 2012, Lindsay Johns, in the Daily Mail posted a compelling and heartfelt article: Why Sylvester Stallone Should Not Make Rambo 5.

I get where Lindsay Johns is coming from.  Rambo was a perfect bookend to the series… or was it.  Perhaps there is another story yet to tell.  Rambo is the reluctant warrior.  I trust Sly’s instincts… especially when he is at the helm.  Few had faith in a final Rocky or Rambo and we all know how they turned out.  – Craig
