Its a shame that the casting director on X-Men: First Class is blind. How on earth could anyone cast January Jones to play everyone’s favorite bad girl X-Man gone good Emma Frost? In the words of Stephen Strucker better known as Johnny from Airplane, “Where did you get that dress, it’s awful, and those shoes [...]
Its a new month and time for a recap of what comic books I flipped through. May was very lackluster, I’ve been trying to ween myself off of mainstream Marvel and DC offerings. This has led to a few indie gems like Umbrella Academy and books with promise like Turf. Luckily, I did happen to [...]
Its not that I’ve fallen prey to Iron Man mania, even though promotion for the film is everywhere: on ESPN, at Burger King, any toy aisle at Target. I’ve been impressed by Matt Fraction’s run on the series. The completion of his most recent story arc just happens to coincide with the U.S. debut of [...]
Hell hasn’t quite frozen over, but the dead are walking around and somehow after enduring Avengers Disassembled, Civil War, Secret Invasion, and Dark Reign it looks as though we’re almost at the end of Bendis’ grand story arc. If the numerous house ads are any indication, then we get a whole new team of Avengers [...]
Iron Man 2 trailers are everywhere. Green Lantern and Thor films are shooting now. But, where the hell is Wonder Woman? It’s been talked about for years first as solo project back in the early 2000s and then as part of an overall Justice League film. I don’t know what the hold up is. Go [...]
Its February and Marvel’s Siege rolls on as does DC Blackest Night. But I what caught my eye was what both companies have coming up later this year. Its not another cross-over, but for DC a new universe coming in March. Christened First Wave, they are going for an Art Deco, Pulp, and Noir feel. [...]
OK now I feel like an idiot. Here I was last month talking about how original and interesting Marvel’s Necrosha crossover seemed. Confined to the X-books, the miniseries is basically using dead characters as an army to plague our heroes. Well over at DC,virtually the same thing is happening in the Blackest Night crossover event. [...]
Let’s open with a bang, I finally finished Umbrella Academy Vol 2: Dallas. In the liner notes (I don’t know what else to call them), writer Gerard Way says that, “Dallas began as an idea for a single-issue adventure, like a great episode of The Twilight Zone or Doctor Who.” Well… mission accomplished. They hit [...]
Last month, it seemed that a lot of storylines were building to their conclusion. Two standouts are Greg Rucka’s Batwoman in Detective Comics and Matt Fraction’s Invincible Iron Man. Here’s the outstanding art for Batwoman, but more on it later. I’m a little annoyed with the slight revisions to Iron Man. We’re now on part [...]
