I was looking up DC movies and they soooooooo suck! Other then Batman. What else do they have going? The last Superman tanked. Wonder Woman never got off the ground. About the only main Marvel heroes not in a movie recently are: -Thor, whose in the works. -Captain America. It’s confirmed film one is...
Current mood: creative When I first heard of the Red Hulk, I thought what a terrible unoriginal idea. Someone just made the Hulk, but he’s just colored red. But having read issues 1 – 6 and first storyline of the character, I must admit I like him. No one knows who the Red Hulk...
I was thinking about comic book superheroes and it seems like it was so much easier then, in the Golden and Silver Ages, then it is now. Think about it and especially in reference to recent superhero movies. Batman = A guy who dresses like a bat and uses bat motifs in his weapons...
I was thinking of Superhero Teams and the members with no powers. Such as Batman on Justice League, or Hawkeye on the Avengers. It must really suck to be the one on a team and not to have powers, because let’s face it, without their gimmick tech weapons. They have nothing much to offer...
With Barack Obama in the Amazing Spider-Man #583 as well as future Image books. It made me thing of political figures and their uses in other works. Such as books, comic books, their image of posters and shirts. All this happens without a politicians permission, and they don’t get a cut of the profit...
You know, I hear how New Gods, and the Fourth World books were Kirby’s best work ever. As some fans say. And that it was Kirby at his greatest. While art is a subjective subject and to each their own. That’s all well and good, if that’s what you think, and I’m cool with...
My only concern with comics in general is: With high prices as it is, I wonder if the monthly comic is even a viable property anymore for anyone outside Marvel and DC comics? I’ve seen so many comic companies fold over the past few years. And I think it’s cause the increased prices of...
This is a topic, Ive been thinking on a while now. It seems in recent years, and especially at Marvel now, that almost all the books seem to be having art that looks realistic in nature. By this I mean, looking like actual film cells captured on a page. Or a photograph type quality...
Over at this site I’ve been reading about Erik Larsen complaining and basically trying to say Marvel swiped his Obama idea. Comic Book Resources Reading both sides, and while Erik raises some good points, I think Marvel is in the right. First off I think Erik has a personal issue with Marvel, and therefore...
I thought I’d mention some good 80′s-90′s stuff that started out good but eventually got cancelled and where are they now? -New Warriors, a 90′s team book that started out great. Then when Bagley and Fab left (and the team took on to much unnecessary baggage) it just wasn’t as great as it used...
The Dark Dominion title published by Defiant Comics in the 90s (and now in the bargin bin) only lasted 11 issues. 1 to 10 were comic published. But issue 0 was a card set that formed a comic if you got all the cards. It follows the adventures of Michael Alexander and his battles...
By now, you have probably heard the news. But President Barack Obama will be in Amazing Spider-Man #583 and meet Spider-Man. I think, while Marvel editor in chief Quasada said it’s non-partisan. This post is not about Obama, as much as it is about the idea of using superheroes, much less icon characters, to...
One of Stan Lee’s staff in the 1960′s when they were creating, what we now call “the Marvel Age of comics” was Stan Goldberg. Among Stan Goldberg’s jobs at Marvel was to be the head of the coloring department. And it makes me wonder, when the likes of Kirby, Ditko and the other talented...
Published by Defiant Comics (and now in comic fodder bins) Charlemagne standing for Charles the Great. If you see the first issue in a bin, PICK THIS UP! It is one of the best origins and first issues I’ve read in a long time. It is that good! I thought a book like this...
I noticed in a recent convention I bought some cheap bin Image books, and I only discovered checking up later that I had the book already in my collection. That there was a different variant cover used. Basically with variants, after the book is old, when you search bins, you can get confused and...
