Amazing Spider-Man Emma Stone

Amazing Spider-Man Emma Stone

  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...

Spider-Man post BMN/OMD thoughts

December 13, 2011

  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...

Amazing Spider-Man 3 Times a Week

December 11, 2011

  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....

1970s Jack Kirby and Fourth World

  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...

DC 52 ReLaunch – Darkseid looks like crap

  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...

Superman Movie – Lois Lane and Clark Kent images

  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.
