Jay Potts is Expendable
Jay Potts, the creator of the very hip blaxplotation web comic World of Hurt, worked up a Barney Ross, Expendables sketch for me.
Before you click over to Jay’s web comic, be advised that World of Hurt is suggested for MATURE READERS due to violence, profanity and a bunch of other stuff that can be found in the best blaxplotation movies. If it sounds like your stick, then click.

5 Essential Sylvester Stallone Films
On January 30, 2013, AZCentral.com posted 5 Essential Sylvester Stallone Films. Their choices [with embeded trailers]:
- Rocky
- First Blood
- Cop Land
- Rocky Balboa
- The Expendables
While it would be hard to argue with their list, I think I would pair Rocky/Rocky Balboa and First Blood / Rambo. This would open up two slots and I’d add: Get Carter and Nighthawks. – Craig

Diamond Select Toys recently posted a photo showing their Expendables action figures.
The Franchize is Expendable
Jerry Gaylord aka The Franchize makes his first, but not his last appearance in my Stallone Sketch Gallery with his take on Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables.
I highly recommend Jerry to all sketch collectors. He quickly responds to e-mails, his turnaround time is quick and he packages the art to ensure it arrives safely.
To check out more of Jerry’s art, head here. – Craig

U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan reaffirmed his dismissal of a lawsuit accusing Sylvester Stallone of plagiarizing the screenplay of one Marcus Webb, to create the 2010 movie, “The Expendables.” The federal court rejected Webb’s claims of “The Expendables” having “striking similarities” to his “The Cordoba Caper.”

Doug Dabbs is Expendable
Doug Dabbs is back! I first met Doug in 2011 at Heroes Con. I was heading out from the show and saw his art. If there had been time, I’d have got a sketch on the spot.
I told Doug I would get a piece from him in 2012 and I did. Two in fact. This piece is Doug’s riff on Barney Ross from The Expendables. Since it is one of my favorite sketches from 2012, I thought it would be fitting to go out with a bang! – Craig
