http://www.deadline.com/2011/03/confirmed-arnold-schwarzenegger-to-become-cartoon-superhero/ An Arnold Schwarzenegger super hero comic book. With Stan Lee part of the mix. You can’t make things like this up. Some things just seem so wrong on so many levels, and this is one of them. What do you think?
As cool as Bucky Cap is, I think it’s time for him to go. There is only one real Captain America and that is Steve Rogers. This Commander Rogers angle has already bored me, and just is not true Cap. And once again Marvel has shown bad movie timing. Whenever there are big...
I can’t find the words to say just how wrong, creepy and disgusting it is to have someone like that wear a Spidey suit. A true insult to Spider-Man fans everywhere. ‘Nuff said. Where is the Green Goblin when you need him?
http://www.deadline.com/2011/03/letter-from-lois-lane-to-time-warner-boss/#more-107966 Please click the link to read the letter above from Joanne Siegel to Time Warner / DC Comics. She was the model Lois Lane was based on. It concerns the Superman rights. And what is going on with that legal case. The letter above also shows class, which is a quality...
http://www.deadline.com/2011/03/warren-beatty-wins-dick-tracy-lawsuit/ Great article link above, I didn’t know about this. Once again when it comes to comic book type properties the court system gets it completely wrong. Just like I disagreed how Neil Gaiman got half the rights for Angela in the McFarlane Spawn books. Or how hockey player Tony Twist sued McFarlane...
The Official Captain America movie trailer is out. And to my surprise it looks better then I imagined. Maybe this will not be a B+ film such as Incredible Hulk. But rather an A+ film such as Iron Man 1. I see some good potential for this movie after having seen this trailer....
As you might know I liked Marvel Comics What If series. Well continuing the theme, another great issue they had was: “What If Wolverine Had Lived During the Age of Conan the Barbarian?” this happened in What If volume 2 issue 16. During the Shi’ar battle Wolverine got transported to the age of...
Going through my comic boxes I notice that the What If Marvel Comic series had a ton of good story ideas. Well continuing the theme, “What If the Alien Costume had Wolverine Had Possesed Spider-Man?” this happened in the What If volume 2 issue 4. This issue was produced soon after Venom appeared...
First off Adrianne Palicki looks gorgeous. But WHY are they messing with a classic costume everyone knows? Gone are the legs showing and the red boots. It’s an okay costume, but it’s far from great. I think most fans can live with the other design changes, but just fix this costume a little...
Darren Aronofsky the director responsible for the smash hit film “Black Swan” has decided to NOT DIRECT Wolverine 2 the movie. This is terrible news for Wolverine fans. Aronofsky is a great director, and can make a quality movie. Now this Wolverine movie has just lost a ton of credibility in terms of...
http://video.comicbookresources.com/cbrtv/2011/cbr-tv-todd-mcfarlane-interviews-stan-lee/ Good interview and worth watching. Two comic greats talking to each other. Very cool and worth a look. What did you think?
David Slade directed the IDW comic series "30 Days of Night" movie. He also directed the "Twilight Eclipse" movie. From what I hear he will direct the Daredevil movie, but it will not be a reboot. It will continue the story that Ben Affleck was in. Personally I think it’s up in...

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=31268 The above link talks about the Jack Kirby heirs and their lawsuit against Marvel Comics. In a few years under the termination of copyright clause Copyright Act of 1976 they basically want to end Marvel’s use of, or get fifty percent ownership of characters Kirby created or that he co-created such as...
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=31287 A meeting of two comic giants. The video is not posted yet, but it will be great to watch. Both of them are huge names in the industry, that just about everyone knows. I will be watching it and posting about it when it’s out. What about you? Is this something you...
I know this is a Comic Blog. But quite frankly some things are too important not to talk about. What is happening in Japan can effect the United States, Canada, China and the many areas of the world and the environment. In particular there may be a Nuclear Meltdown happening. Stay informed. And...
Spider-Man Comic Sells for $1.1 Million I just find it well, Amazing that a comic can sell for over a million dollars! Imagine that for a minute. It really gets your mind thinking and going wow, that one book can really set you up financially. Of course it’s CGC graded, and in this...
From this Heimdall in Marvel Comics to this Heimdall in the Thor movie I haven’t been keeping up on the Marvel movie specifics, but I just read about the Norse god, guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, Heimdall is black! Portrayed by actor Idris Elba. Talk about being 100% wrong! Catering to being Politically...
Looking through my back issues that I found at a convention long ago, I found this classic tale produced in 1981. It’s from What If volume 1 issue 30 and the story is officially called “What If Spider-Man’s Clone Had Survived?” In this tale, there is no Ben Reilly name, Scarlet Spider or...
As I wrote in my earlier post, you can click the link below: http://www.comicbookblogger.com/comicbookblogger/nbcthe-cape-a-terrible-tv-show-thats-painful-to-watch But I just heard the NBC show The Cape will be cancelled. It was so bad they won’t even schedule the last episode to air on TV. Instead they will put it online. I heard months ago that the...
comicbookresources.com A recent interview that caught my attention of comicbookresources.com is this post from Tom Brevoort explaining why some books must remain at $3.99. And they can’t all go to the $2.99 like DC comics is trying to do. The reality is that it’s just not fiscally feasible for us to bring all...
That’s a picture I found online of the Red Skull from the Captain America movie. My first impression is wow that is a fantastic costume. A really cool look. And I like that Hydra belt buckle! I wonder is the Red Skull wearing a CGI computer effect, or is it all makeup? I...
I mentioned the What If Marvel Comic series having good ideas in a recent blog post. Well continuing that idea, “What If Wolverine Had Become Lord Of The Vampires” this happened in the What If volume 2 issue 24. In this story Wolverine and the X-men are vampires ruling the earth. One of...
With the new Venom series at Marvel Comics focusing on Venom in a military style look and environment, I realized this idea has sort of been used before! Way back in What If volume 2 issue 44. The story is “What if Venom possessed The Punisher?” This was a great single issue story...
With my recent posts on 1990s stories and characters, I seem to recall Spider-Man stories that featured one Judas Traveller. He featured as a key player in the 1990s Clone Saga storyline. He started out an an immensely powerful being, with various powers. And his agenda was also mysterious because no one...
