This Week’s New Releases and Recommendations
Hey kids! New Comics! Let's get right into it this week:
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #3ASTONISHING X-MEN #21
Two Joss Whedon books on a single Wednesday. It's not even my birthday and I know that for sure because if it were my birthday I'd be going to see Die Hard IV right now...
Really? ‘The Punisher’ Movie Review Review
I learn something new every day. Two days ago I found out that tetanus shots expire after ten years and this past week I found out that there are a whole lot of you out there who liked the Punisher movie (the 2004 version). We received some interesting responses to a very brief comment I made at the beginning of my Ed Norton/Hulk story...
Is This Captain America’s Legacy?
I've gotta start going out to party in Florida.
Get this: On April 24th, 2007, Dr. Raymond Adamcik was arrested for allegedly groping two different women. Pretty standard episode of Cops right? Well, according to thesmokinggun.com, Dr. Adamcik was dressed like Captain America ...
This Week’s New Releases and Recommendations
New comics! There is still something awesome about the idea of new comics coming out every week. TV has an off-season ... movies take years to put together ... so do albums ... sports have an off-season ... hell, for solid year-round entertainment you've got to look to comics or professional wrestling...
Kryptonite Discovered on Earth … Seriously!
So according to reports, scientists in Serbia have found Kryptonite. How do they know it's Kryptonite? Because a scientist in London looked it up on Wikipedia. I'm not even a little bit kidding.
Fox News reports:
"We entered its chemistry into Google to try and see if we had a match ...
World War Hulk Is Declared
Wow ... not one but two Hulk posts for me this week. That's pretty surprising, but between the movie news and the way this summer's Hulk comics are shaping up, I'm guessing that this might not be the last week with multiple Hulk sightings. What's happening this summer...
Spider-Man: The Musical — That’s Entertainment!
I read the Hollywood Reporter every day while I write my screenplay at Starbucks and yesterday I came across an article that blew my mind. Like, my brain literally exploded. Boom. It took a few more sips of my venti cinnamon dolce latte with sugar free syrup to come to terms with the brilliance of what I was reading: that Spider-Man is going to become a Broadway musical...
Ed Norton Hulks Out!
Movies based on Marvel characters are a funny thing – they either totally suck (Daredevil, Punisher) or are totally awesome (X2). Personally, I HATED the Hulk movie that came out a few years ago. It sucked, sucked, sucked. The story was lame, the effects were terrible, their idea of making shots look like comics panels without bothering to realize that comics panels go in order made parts of the m
This Week’s New Releases and … Huh? Avril Lavigne?!
By my count, it took exactly three weeks of doing these posts about what's new every week before I totally deviated from the course. Yeah, there are a bunch of good comics coming out this week. DC's WWIII books are of special importance and excitement, so I'll be reading those first...
First Look: Iron Man Movie Armor
OK...OK. After looking at the official website, I think it's safe to bet that this first image of the armor from the Iron Man movie is NOT what Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) will wear through the whole film. This has gotta be the suit he builds at the beginning of the movie -- I'm guessing while being help captive somewhere in the Middle East (Vietnam doesn't really work anymore, does it...
