Spider-Woman : Agent of S.W.O.R.D. [Motion Picture Comics]

As I'm looking for art to post on my tumblr, I go looking for for some art by a mister Alex Maleev. Seeing what he's done, I see and remember reading his and Brian Michael Bendis book Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. [google is your friend] way back in 2009. I really liked it. The selling point was explosive, eye-popping art of Mr. Maleev. Furthermore, my memory was also jogged when I seen that the comic was made into a motion picture! So, you guys are in luck. You don't have to buy the comic [unless you want to], you can just sit back and watch Jessica Drew hunt down some aliens.

The Death and Return of Superman by Max Landis [Video]

Just epic! EPIC! The life and death of the boy scout from Krypton from a guy who is fed up with him!

...The original rant was 45 minutes long, so of course we had to cut a bunch of stuff out for time, and because it was just too stupid. Like for instance the part where Pa Kent dies of a heart attack and literally GOES TO HEAVEN. AND SEES SUPERMAN

If I saw this video, I might nerd rage out so hard. But luckily I made it, so I'm pretty happy. Really I'd hope people just are with me, and happy that Guy Gardner and Bloodwynd get to be in a movie.

Adam Carolla talks to Robert Kirkman

Maybe you're a comic book nerd like me then you know Mr. Kirkman from The Walking Dead comic book, which is the bees nees. If you just like good television, then you watch The Walking Dead on AMC. Well guess what, the create is one in the same! Don't expect Adam to get too deep into the workings of the comic industry, but talking about the show and what the thoughts of a man who creates zombi stories for a living will be discussed. They only talk about it for about 15min, and Robert just hangs around afterwards and talks about some disturbing news story out of Los Angela's school systems. Also, there is a lot of cursing, so it isn't' for virgin ears. Kirkman comes in about the 50min mark.

DC and Marvel break the color barrier in comics [Video]

If you don't know already, DC comics has relaunched their entire line of comics last September with The New 52. Along with that, Marvel has relaunced their Ultimate Marvel line of comics, with a lot of big changes and new faces. These new face are Miles Morales and David Zavimbe. Meet them in the video. I'm very happy both books are doing well and I would personally recommend both to anyone...if your not a racist bigot or a 40yr old fanboy bigot!

Preview: Red Hood & The Outlaws #4

The preview of one of my favorite books from the New 52 via iFanBoy. I feel people aren't giving the book a chance because of Starfire's new outfit and dismissive personality. Hopefully this story line quells those doubts. And if not, I'm sure I'll still enjoy the read. Hits your local comic shop or wherever new comics are sold on Wednesday, 21 December 2011

RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #4

His name is Crux – and he’s done some dark and dangerous work on his DNA to reach his goal of ridding the Earth of every alien on the planet! And Kori’s about to learn that Red Hood and Roy Harper have their hands full with the ancient evil known as The Untitled!

Teen Titans #1 Preview

YES! This looks like the book to watch this week. Yeah, big names like Aquaman, Batman: The Dark Knight and Superman [all of which I'm getting] come out, but it's this bloggers belief this book is going to be a fun, action filled book that everyone can enjoy. These first few pages make the book look very promising.  The tone seems just right. Also, I really, really want to see what's up with Kid Flash and his relationship with the Flash family. Which also asks the question I only have at this time is whether or not past incarnations of the Teen Titans existed or not? Don't thank me, thank Brent Booth. Visit him and tell him how awesome he is [he's not that crazy]

Meet Sarah Pichelle, artist of the new Ultimate Spider-Man

We've all heard the news of the new, bi-racial Spider-man, Miles Morales by now. All the negative comments and all the great news from Marvel about it. Well all of that was just the tip of the iceberg. Miles Morales is more than the little bit of news about him and Sarah Pichelli and Tom Brevoort, Marvel's Senior Vice President of Publishing has a lot to say about his future with Comic Book Resources. Below is some art from the new series by Ms. Pichelle.

Here are some excerpts from the interview:

CBR: The story of Mies' introduction broke in "USA Today," and so far response has been, well, overwhelming to say the least. I'm sure you guys were anticipating the news to catch on in general, but between some very supportive, positive responses and some downright racist ones, it seems to have been a very surreal week for everyone involved. What do you make of how this has blown up and the tenor of discussions overall? 

Sarah Pichelli: ...Maybe Miles hit a raw nerve with society. I have to admit, I felt saddened reading all those racist comments on the net. Someone even used the word "politically correct" as a kind of insult!

Comic books were born to speak to the people about the people -- even when they talk about superpowers, mutants, aliens or whatever fantastic creatures come from the writer's mind.

CBR: Since we're learning first about this character in terms of his ethnicity rather than his story and in the papers rather than in the comics, it's easy to snap judge Miles as more of a publicity stunt right out of the gate? What do you say to that attitude? 

Sarah Pichelli: ...A lot people are stuck on Miles' ethnicity because it’s the biggest, most obvious change in the book, but I can assure you that it’s just the tip of the iceberg. You will see how complex and rich the new story will be when the book hits.

FLASHPOINT #4 (of 5)

Writer: Geoff Johns

Art: Andy Kubert, (Inker) Jesse Delperdang, & (Colorist) Alex Sinclair

DC Comics $3.99

Winding down the series and into the the DCnU has been one big ride. Ups and downs. Big moments to very underwhelming moments. This is what I feel about this book. This book had all of that. Nothing overly exciting happened. Without giving too much away, I was very happy to see the Marvel Family in the mix. I also liked the need Barry felt to jump in the war between the Amazons and Atlantis. These is a great shot of Aquaman and Wonder Woman fighting drawn by Andy Kubert, which is probably the best scene in the whole book this week. It was exciting. That's Kubert's art for you. EPIC! Gonna get the last issue too. You should to, it leads right into Justice League #1 [2011] for the DCnU in September. 8/10

Ultimate Fallout #4 (of 6)
Writers: Brian Michael Bendis (Spider-Man), Johnathan Hickman (Reed Richards), Nick Spencer (Valerie Cooper)
Art: Sarah Pichelli, Salvador Larroca, Claton Crain
Marvel $3.99

First off, congratulations to Marvel for Miles Morales, the Black (bi-racial) Spider-Man. He made his debut this week. This is big! This means a lot. The story for his debut was cool. Nothing more, nothing less. It was written in typical Bendis fashion, with a lot of words in and throughout the action. I like Sarah Pichelli's art also. Her pencils are beautiful for the new Spider-Man title. I didn't like the colors though. They were a bit dark, and considering the debut was short and not heavy on any major topics, it could have been done without. Now, for Hickman's return of Reed Richards story - great! I know I didn't like when Reed turned bad, but now I'm warming up to it. He's still a genius and believes he's doing the right things. He's a man now and Richards is moving forward like everyone else. Larocca's art was great, as usual. No disappointment there. And then there's Spencer's Valerie Cooper story. I have to say that it was king of on the boring side. It was all build up till the end. The flow was nice and it kept a nice pace throughout, so it wasn't awful. And actually, in a subtle way, it sets up a lot for what's going to happen in his Ultimate X-Men title he's going to be writing. Something else I really loved this week in comics was some of Clayton Crain's artwork. Haven't seen him around since his X-Force, Vol. 4: Necrosha days with Yost and Kyle. (Great read by the way). [P.S. - Nyugen and Ferry wasn't in this book for whatever  reason. I wonder why that was. Clayton and Larocca did a great job!]
8/10

The Punisher #1 [2011]
Writer: Greg Rucka
Art: Marco Checchetto, Matt Hollingsworth (Colors)
Marvel $3.99

I'm a really big Punisher fan. I figure any incarnation of him is worth checking out. In the right hands, he's great, as established by Garth Ennis in the MAX series of books. With a writer like Rucka, a man who's experienced in crime and noir books, this was a great choice. With this books debut, I feel it was the best it could have been. It wasn't awful. At first, the sequencing was confusing, but getting in you get who's who and what's what. What concerns me more is how long this title can stay afloat. It does great in the MAX series, but in the normal Marvel Universe, with alls that's going on, it can fall short. Anyway, it's started off great, and for new readers it's not hard to get into. Checchetto's art on the Punisher is great. Makes him seen bigger than life when he appears.

S.H.I.E.L.D. vol. 2 #2
Writer: Johathan Hickman
Art: Dustin Weaver
Marvel $2.99

There are so many different layers in this book it's crazy. It's phenomenal how Hickman infuses so many elements into this book without it being lost in it's translation. The continuty of the Marvel universe being mashed together beautifully with the ideals and history of our world. Don't get me wrong, Life-Model Decoy's do not actually exist (that we know of), but Hickman makes us believe that da Vinci created the first one! The war between ideas, the war between Newton and da Vinci, is told so well, in that it makes you feel that you need to choose a side just for your own sake. Then they'res Dustin Weaver...probably a very large reason why the book is succeeding. His art is incredible. His layouts are just great! I wonder what Hickman asks him to draw for the the words he pens? That must be a very interesting process. Great read.
9/10

X-23 #13
Writer: Marjorie Liu
Art: Phil Noto [cover: Kalman Andrasofszky]
Marvel $2.99

I really like Ms. Liu's take on Wolverine's clone. Making X a teenage girl, just trying to find who she is beyond the trained assassin has been a very enjoyable ride. Now X and Gambit finds themselves in New York City, a city with some history to X and potentially new allies in Spider-Man. Liu's take on Spider-Man was a very nice compliment to X, him being the experienced adult  in a save-and-rescue mission in downtown New York. The way the person react's to X saving her is really funny, also so is the dialog between X-23 and Spider-Man. With Spider-Man's history with the Wolverine, Liu exploits that with Spidey needing to be on his toes about himself around her. He trust her, but she's still new at this. I like Noto's work in the book also. His attention to the feel of the situation transmitted to the characters face is done very well. He keeps X-23 looking very serious all the time, but also unsure of herself in any given moment. I hope more people pic up the book.
8/10

American Vampire: Survival Of The Fittest #2 (of 5)
Writer: Scott Snyder
Art: Sean Murphy
Vertigo $2.99

I'm a new reader to this title and I took a chance on this because I've heard good things. So the cheapest way to dive into the American Vampire was to get hip to this mini-series. I love it. Two issues in and close to no appointment's. I do feel that I'm missing something with the relationship between Skinner Sweet and Felicia, the female lead, but that's to be expected. No big complaints, as to everything else is set up brilliantly. The little mishap with the Nazi's and it's resolution by Cash was done beautifully. I'd expect nothing less. Quite funny too. Murphy's art work is quite breath-taking as well. All the characters pop out the panels against the monotone backgrounds. Great read!
9/10

New, Black, Ultimate Spider-Man

I jumped with joy when I finally heard news about the new Ult. Spidey, then I blew a gasket when I heard he was a bi-racial minority! OMG this is big. REALLY BIG. The Ultimate line of comics from Marvel rarely disappoint, and this proves that. There is the whole interview with writer, Brian Michael Bendis and Editor-in-Cheif, Axel Alonso at USA Today! Check out Miles Morales debut in Ultimate Fallout #4 coming out this week [8/3/2011]

Special Report: Batman: Battle For The Cowl [Revisited]

Anyone remember the ol’ Battle For The Cowl event by DC after Batman seemingly died in the Final Crises? Well, I just got done reading it again and I have to say, I didn’t like it as much as I originally did. When I first read it I was just starting out with comics and when this came up I was just excited to just read it. Now, I see some things I didn’t like with the personality of the characters and some of the pacing. It’s still a quality read though, just doesn’t have that much staying power. Espectially now with the DC reboot coming in September.

Weekly Comics Report - June 19 2011

Every week is some new comics and every week I'll have some reviews on some choice comics. I won't get to all of them, but I'll choose some comics I looked forward to and give my verdict. Also, some of them may be late - I may have missed a week on a comic maybe. either way, enjoy.

Kirby: Genesis #1
Writer: Kurt Busiek
Art: Jack Herbert and Alex Ross
Dynamite Entertainment $3.99

The story takes place in Minnesota with college brainy kid Kirby and childhood, hot friend Bobbi. If you ready Kirby: Genesis #0, then you'll get a pretty good feel of how they both grew up and where they've gone since star gazing from their front porch as children. They both made it to college, and as stated before about who they are, their dynamic is great! A college kid trying to make heads or tails out of things, trying to cram all this work for test in an impossible semester., who's into show's like Chuck. We don't get a real good guage on how smart Bobbi is, but she can't be dumb to make to where she has. But, she'd rather party and try to get Kirby out of his shell. Also looks like she want's to get him laid too. Then, when these large, majestic figures appear in the sky, all eyes are to the sky, then their world begin's to change. Building's come out of no where, technology buried deep in the earth, space ship's land and start attacking people. Now Bobbi want's to go on an "adventure" with Kirby to see what they can find, but Bobbi is more connected than anyone could dream of.

Daken: Dark Wolverine #10
Writer: Rob Williams
Art: Matteo Buffagni, Riley Rossmo, Cris Peter, Riley Rossmo; Cover: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Frank Martin

Marvel $2.99

After the great story in this series 9.1 special, questions about Daken's future was put into question. Where would he go once he left Madripoor and how would he handle himself? Well in issue 10 all of those is answered. Daken is ready to set the city of Hollywood ablaze by taken down the baddest and consuming a new drug called Heat that beats his healing factor. The drug has a profound effect on a person's perception's and with skills like Daken's that could prove deadly. I like how Rob is setting Daken apart, even more, from his father Wolverine. It set's up well for deeper story telling in the future. I also like how the law is presented to. Nothing special about the team except that an FBI agent has been tailing Daken for a long time and is getting closer to him. All in all, except for some of the sketchy time lapses, it was a pretty fulfilling read. The art was great. Daken looks insane in every panel, like he could do anything at any moment. 

8/10

X-Men #13 (2011)
Writer: Christopher Yost
Art: (NOW) Paco Medina (THEN) Dalibor Talajic
Marvel $3.99 (dammit)

In this months issue we find out more about the so called Evolutionaries. Their just that, evolution, and their goal is protect the next step in evolution from any threats. In their second meeting with the X-Men now want to remove Scott Summers/Cyclops from the picture so the "leader" can lead mutant's, excuse me "homo superior", can take over once humanity is destroyed. When the story flashes back to the first encounter with with the Evolutionaries, this issue, focuses on the Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutant's. Yost does a great job of showcasing Magneto's dominance and presence during. All of the art is pretty much awesome. My only hangup of the issue is the end. Some other mutant's on the island begin to attack Celeste, it just seems out of place to me. Not that it couldn't happen for what they want, but the why. I also don't reconize them. But I'm looking forward to next issue. I'm expecting greatness!
9/10

Ghost Rider #0.1
Writer: Rob Williams
Art: Matthew Clark, Sean Parsons, Robert Schwager
Marvel $2.99

Johnny Blaze is a paranoid, redneck with powers of the occult to take down evil and sinners. The book starts out action packed with Johnny talking about how bad a job being Ghost Rider is. Then when he's just Johnny, he's pathetic. He doesn't know what to do. He seem's as if he wants to die. Well, he end's up getting his chance of sorts. A way to get rid of the Ghost Rider. No tricks by some demon. It just seems like a regular older dude that sees the need to help him, but he's know's a lot, but Johnny doesn't question it. Also, this connects to the event Fear Itself, so the guy who want's to help Johnny, Adam, is connected to the Serpent somehow so that is worth exploring...if the main book Fear Itself crawls out of it's ass so we know why the Serpent is doing this and his history with Asgard and Odin. The art is sort of, I guess, cool. But it's so much cooler when it's Ghost Rider in the panels. Maybe that was done on purpose. I won't spoil the ending, but I'm curious to see what happens now. I thought there where two Ghost Riders.

Avengers (2011) #14
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Art: John Romita JR, Klaus Janson, Dean White
Marvel $3.99

Bendis still going strong heading into the Fear Itself tie-in for the flagship Avengers book. Interviews with the Avenger's team, in the past and present (I'm assuming), is proving to do very well at showing us what an Avenger is and how the Red Hulk is proving himself to be an Avenger. The thing get's himself one of them hammers and turns into a engine of carnage and destruction. The way Bendis writes the story makes Red Hulk so heroic. Fearless. Brave. All those good words any of us would want in a hero. And then JRJ's art is phenomenal as usual, with Janson and White on the assist. It was a great read this week.
10/10

Fear Itself: Youth In Revolt #2 (of 6)
Writer: Sean McKeever
Art: Mike Norton and Veronica Gandini (colors)
Marvel $2.99

If you got into Marvel's Avengers: The Initiative series from two years ago then your going to love this. Newcomers should also. Since the hammers of the Serpent are falling everywhere and the avatars are so powerful, it's all hands on deck. We see the result of what happens to Thor Girl (worst name ever) as she's carted off to the clink by the leader of the Initiative, Prodigy. It's for the camera's he says till everything blows over. It's sort of believable how everyone mistakes TG's paper-weight of a hammer for a tool of destruction. It's the fear I suppose. And the fact that is isn't that many up close pics of the Serpent's avatars for the public to see. There are some interesting appearences in this issue, so how that turns out will be anyone's guess. It's enough to see how it turns out.
