Batman: The Return

The time that so many Batman fans have been waiting for has finally arrived, Bruce Wayne is back and he is ready to not only reform the criminal underworld in Gotham City, he is ready to reform the world. The issue entitled “Planet Gotham”, which is all too fitting, begins with a metaphor which describes the endeavor that Wayne plans on embarking on in the newest series Batman Incorporated, which is the subsequent issue to Batman: The Return.

Batman Incorporated #1

The concept of Batman Inc. is one of the most creative concepts I have seen in comics in the past few years. The idea of Bruce Wayne training a Batman for every major city in every country is beyond anything I could have ever thought about in my entire life, and the idea itself is extremely unique.

This story takes place immediately following the issue Batman: The Return. So If you have not read that issue, or have not read my review of it yet, then I suggest you do so that you do not have anything spoiled for you.

Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes

About two weeks ago now I watched this show for the first time on TV. I was scared when first turning it on, wondering how they were going to butcher some of my favorite heroes from my childhood, and wondering how far from the truth the show was going to deter from the books. To my surprise, the show was nothing like I thought it was going to be and neither was the comic adaptation.

While watching the show I was wondering how and why the story and dialogue was so well done, and why I was enjoying it so much. All of that credit is owed to the fact that Chris Yost is the writer of the episodes and in charge of all of the stories, which to my blissful realization was the case with the comic adaptation as well.

Halcyon #1

The first thing that I noticed when I picked up this issue is that it is written by Amazing Spider-Man author Marc Guggenheim, who in my opinion is one of the better writers on that book. So it is safe to say that I was fairly excited about this book. After reading the issue, I can say that I was not as impressed as I thought I was going to be, let me tell you why.

Before I get into any negatives about the issue, lets first go over the positives. The base storyline of the book is pretty good, which is what I expect from Guggenheim, and the art of Ryan Bodenheim was pretty good as well. Also, the best part of the issue by far is the ending of it, it has a great cliffhanger and you would never expect the result that occurs while reading the story at any point.

She Hulk #1

This is one of the few new series that are beginning from the fallout of Fall of the Hulks. Going into the issue I was a little skeptical about who was working on the issue since I really had seen much, if anything from the writer and artist; which I will touch on later in this review.

The story takes place right after the end of Fall of the Hulks and Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk), and the Bruce Banner’s daughter Lyra, the She-Hulk from the 23rd century. They have been tasked by Banner to track down the members of the Intelligencia so that Hulk can enact his revenge.

This is NOT the Kind of Movie Tie-In We Want!

So I'm surfing the web today and see the funniest ad placement over on Superherohype.com and suddenly realized this accidental juxtaposition represents the kind of poor marketing that we Green Lantern fans don't want to see:

I can see some ad agency genius pitching an ad to Ryan Reynold now - "You fly in and zap the yellow CG stain monsters with your ring, Ryan!"

Chew T-Shirts

If you are a fan of Chew, and you haven't read the newest issue yet the creators have decided to make a number of T-shirts from the series and they are starting with this awesome Poyo T-Shirt.

You can order them by emailing chewcomicsales@gmail.com letting them know what size you want and where to ship it to. The price is 20 bucks plus S&H which is kinda steep, but these shirts are pretty awesome and where else are you going to get a Chew shirt?

The Walking Dead (Review)

Although AMC produces only a couple series, the channel has struck television gold with Mad Men and Breaking Bad, and now they can add The Walking Dead to their list of hits to be proud of.

It might seem a little strange at first; the channel known for its painstakingly realistic series is producing a show about zombies? But The Walking Dead isn't your typical zombie fare. Created by critically acclaimed director Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption), and based on the popular comic book by Robert Kirkman, the series is introspective and thought-provoking, will still managing to deliver the chills and thrills associated with the zombie "genre."

The Walking Dead opens with Sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln, Love Actually) awaking alone in a hospital, having been admitted for a near fatal gunshot wound. The hospital, however, is empty except for some gruesome corpses. Rick makes his way outside and soon finds that a zombie apocalypse has more or less run everyone out of town, including his wife (Sarah Wayne Callies, Prison Break) and young son. Certain that they are still alive, he sets off to find them, and thus the story of this fast-paced series is......

Wonder Woman (Review)

I had never been a fan of Wonder Woman. I did not harbor any negative feelings toward the character, I was just uninterested. Then something happened. Wonder Woman got a makeover.

The transformation is physical (her costume has been significantly altered in favor of a more practical design), but Wonder Woman's story - her origins, her world, her character - has also been revitalized in what is essentially a reboot, starting with the series' monumental 600th issue.

Penned by famed comic scribe J. Michael Straczynski (Thor), this new arc warps time a bit, essentially allowing Straczynski to tell a completely new story that, while technically in continuity, doesn't have to adhere to it (not unlike J.J. Abrams' successful Star Trek reboot). In this alternate timeline, Themyscira is destroyed by an army of unknown origin. Hippolyta, Wonder Woman's mother, manages to save......

Amazing Spider-Man #647

When I first picked up this issue of Spider-Man I had to take a look at it a few times because it is simply HUGE. I usually am deterred from a book when it has a $4.99 price tag, but when it is this large I really don’t mind paying the extra buck or two. I mean you pay for the amount of content right?

Generation Hope #1

I have been reading Uncanny X-Men the few months and I was really wondering what they were going to do with Hope and the new mutants that she has been recovering for the past four issues. I was also wondering when Hope was going to get her own book, and with Generation Hope, Marvel has answered both of my questions.

Anyone interested in a Scott Pilgrim Action Figure?

If you read it, you loved it, and when you see these, you'll love them too.

Like Father, Like Son

I know that several of this blog's contributors are fans of this series and, considering the second film is this fourth-highest grossing motion picture of all time in Moscow (adjusted for inflation), our Russian followers will certainly be interested in this as well. Here is the trailer for the long-awaited third film in the beloved saga of Big Momma (and don't give me any grief about not uploading the HD version, please):
