BEFORE WATCHMEN by DC Comics: Whether Alan Moore likes it or not DC Comics finally busts the Watchmen dam open and will make new material on the property. Could these limited series just be the beginning of an ongoing exploration of this world? I guess the final sales will determine what happens next....
http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/22002.html Great Interview talking about Valiant Comics. It seems that they are giving a sincere push to make this a long term company.
DC Comics will be using a new company Logo soon. At first I did not like it, but the use of various colors has made it look better. Still, I’m not to sure I like it so much. It clearly looks like a Photoshop designed idea. Where the D symbol is being peeled back...
Marvel Comics big crossover this year is the X-men vs Avengers. The art to this cover image was by Jim Cheung and the first issue will hit the comic shops on 04/03/12.
http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/21823.html I read that writer Gary Friedrich lost his court case to own the Ghost Rider rights. And I’m actually glad how it turned out. He signed away his rights and then complained later cause he wanted a better deal. Reading the following text from the book Ghost Rider The Ultimate Guide. It...
Emma Stone looks adorable as Gwen Stacy. Kristen Dunst was miscast in the original Spider-Man trilogy. She was never pretty enough to play Mary Jane. At least this reboot got and cast the right type of woman for the leading lady. Emma Stone hot, sexy and cute all rolled into one. A shame...
I’ve been following the recent Spider books since the One More Day / Brand New Day storyline and have a feeling of “Why should I care as a long time reader anymore?” If they can erase the Spider marriage and all the strong emotions, connections that brought about. Why should you buy the...
An old post I wrote somewhere else and adding to archive here. Thursday 8 January 2009 @ 3:12 am I’d like to start by saying sure their have been exceptions, and some great Spider-Man comics, and mini-series as a whole. But in general and the overall look of things, I don’t think Spider-Man...
An old post I wrote somewhere else and adding to archive here. Wednesday 16 April 2008 @ 12:11 am MAJOR Spider-Man Spoilers on the Brand New Day comic I just read the Spider-Man comics called One More Day that ended with Amazing Spider-Man issue 545. And YES F’n Marvel Editor in Chief Joe...
I wonder what you think of in regards of Amazing Spider-Man shipping three times a week. With a different creative crew handling chores the next week. Basically, one creative team picking up the story of the team before them. Personally I think it sucks. This so reminds me of the 90′s Superman books....
You may not know it but Jack Kirby burned his bridges at DC in the 1950s and that’s why he went to Marvel. It was his only other option for a big publisher. Plus if Jack stayed at DC as I theorized, I recently read a long time Kirby associate wrote a similar...
Comic Collection Comic Collection video peek. By far it’s not all of them, but these are some books worth mentioning. Hope you like it.
Justice League #4 will show Darkseid as redesigned by Jim Lee. Originally a Jack Kirby creation, Darkseid can arguably be called Kirby’s greatest creation in the DC Universe. DC Comics was sorely lacking a universal villain that could fight anybody, and Darkseid filled that role. What’s happened to Jim Lee’s design sense? First...
Avenging Spider-Man #2 in stores December 7, 2011 It’s great to see some comic book work by Joe Madureira again. As always Joe Mad’s style is uniquely his own. His rendition of Spidey is amazing. But check out that Red Hulk. Fantastic, or should I say Incredible?
Comic con Hey all, Yeah Comic Con really took it out on me the past week or two. Well that and getting ready for it. And overall other things making me more busy then usual. Unfortunately it made me lose focus on some things. But I’ve got this blog running well again now....
Comic Con 2011 Hey all, I know I have not updated my blog much in recent days. That’s because getting ready for and being tired after New York Comic Con 2011 really took a lot of time away from all my online activates. It was a great show! And I’m back working on...
Amy Adams as Lois Lane, what happened? She has looked better in other movies. Now look at Henry Cavill as Clark Kent. The more I see and hear about this movie, the more I lose faith that it will be any good. But then again, it can’t be much worse then Superman Returns.
Anyone else think HAWKEYE in the Avengers Movie looks rather plain? The costume looks boring. The actor looks old. Even the face of the actor looks like a drunk. And there just is no spark to him. Even the Youtube guy who plays Hawkeye on the Avengersweb channel has more of a spark then...
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/kirkman-the-walking-dead-comic-novel-show-111007.html Good interview and worth reading. Especially with Season 2 of the AMC show starting this month. Can’t wait for the start of it. Season 1 was great and hopefully this will continue the trend. Nrama: With season two of The Walking Dead underway, have you found a rhythm to balancing all the...

This includes classic books like Watchmen and Sandman. The reason? DC Comics will publish these 100 books Exclusively for the Amazon Kindle Fire in digital format. Barnes & Noble stated that they want their books offered...
Marvel Comics released the image above. It looks like Bucky as the Winter Soldier will return. I’m actually glad to see this, because I did not like him wearing the Captain America costume. I think he makes for a better Winter Soldier, then he did a Captain America. Plus with the red star,...
Back in the early 1990s Valiant Comics had a great comic book called Solar Man of the Atom. It’s star character could manipulate and control energy in a variety of forms. And the first twenty issues made for fabulous stories. I was recently looking through a box of issues I had and realized...

http://marvel.com/avengers_movie/ The Avengers Movie has officially launched a website. Check it out. As the movie gets closer to release, I’m sure it will be updated a lot more. The release day for the movie is on May 4, 2012.
Kevin Feige the head of Marvel Studios, announced in the recent issue of Entertainment Weekly that Guardians of the Galaxy and The Inhumans are being discussed as possible movies. Now this is not to say they will get movies. But really, as a comic book fan did you ever think you would see...
Russell Crowe will play Superman’s father, Jor-El in the new Superman: Man Of Steel movie. How come the more I hear about this movie, the more dread I feel that this movie will stink? Casting Russell Crowe in this film does nothing to ease that concern, in fact it makes it worse. Crowe...
