Click here to buy it on Amazon One crossover storyline that still is fondly remembered and looked upon is the Infinity Gauntlet from the early 1990s at Marvel Comics. I was reading the story way back then when it was coming out in issue form, and looking back upon it, it’s still a...
Reading the new mini-series Carnage, I was surprised to learn that the Spider-Man Doppelganger returned. This is an obscure villain from the 1990s. Back during a big crossover event called Infinity War, the villain in that story Magus created a bunch of evil duplicates of the heroes. After the story was over,...
I talked about creative rights before in regard to the Golden and Silver Age comic book creators who made almost all of the lasting and great comic book characters still used today, never got a financial share of their creations. The sad thing I find is that, even today, right now: The big...
I think we are living in the Golden Age when it comes to comic books, or related properties in live action films. Never before has it happened, like in the past few years, where there are films based on comic book concepts. Just go to the big screen and what do you see...
Have you been wondering what happened to the the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon? I believe from what I read online it was a casualty of the deal when Disney took over Marvel. As you know Disney likes to make their own animated shows. So why let anyone compete? Also their were probably contract reasons...
Adrianne Palicki will play the new Wonder Woman on television. I approve of the choice. Wonder Woman should be tall, look fantastic and Adrianne fits the role. What do you think?
Gambit Wiki Link here Above is the first appearance of Gambit with Mike Collins art. Glad to see wiki got it right and listed Jim Lee as co-creator. And not Mike Collins as it used to incorrectly say. I used to wonder just who visually designed Gambit? I thought it was Jim Lee,...
Looking back on all the Spider-Man costumes that were produced over the decades. Such as the Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly costume variation, the recent Civil War Iron Spidey look, etc. Which are your 2 favorite costumes? In order of preference. For me they are: 1. Classic Red/Blue with the under the arm webbings....
With Barack Obama in Amazing Spider-Man #583 as well as other Image books. It made me thing of political figures and their uses in other works. Such as books, comic books, their image on posters and shirts. All this happens without a politicians permission, and they don’t get a cut of the profit...
Wiki Carnage I was thinking about Venom and originally he was supposed to be the anti-Spider-Man, and one of his top villains. Because in a way he was the dark side of Spider-Man. A villain who was not responsible or cared for others, he only cared for his own needs. Later on Carnage...
http://www.champions-online.com I considered buying and playing the game DC Universe Online. Put then I learned you have to pay a monthly fee of $15 every month to play the game. Right then I decided I will not buy the game. I play games, but never liked the notion of paying a monthly fee...
Looking at the above cover to T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents, which features Dynamo on the cover. The art is by Ethan Van Sciver with Scott Hanna on inks. It’s a cover based on and a homage to the one made by Wally Wood. Which is pictured below. I actually like the Wood cover a lot...
Will the Green Lantern movie be a flop or a hit? I’ve read online that some inside people are already calling it a disaster. What’s curious about this is that in-house their already is mention of the quality, or lack of it, for this movie. That’s never a good sign, when inside people...
That picture is from the Captain America trailer. I think this silver shield, that looks like a prototype of the classic one is a great idea. It looks really cool with the line etching. It reminds me of the comic books when Steve Rodgers went by the name The Captain and wore a...
The above picture is from www.empireonline.com The costume Captain America will be wearing actually looks cool I think. It reminds me of the Ultimate Captain America costume used in the comic books. And I actually thought before we saw the pictures that it was the right way to go. The classic Captain America...
These pictures are from a link I saw on an MTV website and also the popsugar.com website. This is what happens to our favorite superheroes in Hollywood when you DO NOT have a director who cares about the source material. Say what you want about Sam Raimi, but he gave us two good...
Looking at the Spider-Man villain Venom, the general consensus is that he was created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane. But I think the situation is more complex then that simple answer. Certainly Michelinie had the idea for a new villain, and probably named the character Venom / Eddie Brock. McFarlane had previously...
Comic book history can be funny, not in the laugh out loud funny. But in the: That’s pathetic storytelling writing type funny. Way back in Amazing Spider-Man #400 Aunt May told Peter she knew he was Spider-Man. And that she’d have been a fool not to have figured it out. But then she...
Have to mention this: I know someone will say reading this post, well it’s not the Devil it was Mephisto. Well what Mephisto represents in Marvel is evil and at the very least he is a Devil, even if not the biblical one. Either way, he is one of the top rulers in...
Spider-Man The Icon Hardcover: Click 4 More Details A great hardcover book I recently got is Spider-Man: The Icon by Steve Saffel. And though I’ve not read any other books by this author, he did a great job. I could tell: He either is a big Spidey fan, or he did a lot...
