Also...


This maybe a few days late on the last post I blogged so I apologize for any inconvenience. As I make insights to noteworthy anime titles, I will also carry the burden of posting manga articles from time to time entitled: ''In The Defense Of Manga''. Because lets face it, like any standard American comic or anime, manga is just as fun. That and the fact you'd be surprised as to how many comic book artist have been influenced by such a foreign reading material such as this.
Like anime, the manga medium also has its share of misconcepted criticism and deluded outburst, led by the mass crowd of the typical non-reader's of Japanese comics. I'm fully aware that its all in a matter of taste and know not everyone will jump on the scene of it, but if we continue to overlook and gripe about an art that has entertained the masses who've been reading it since their early days of growing up, we'll ultimately miss the big picture right in front of us. So why not we embrace culture and discover what's outside the walls our personal incomprobility to manga and its counterpart brother anime. In short saying, a little diversity never hurt anyone.

Konbanwa fellow blogspeople!


Hello blogsout.net! It's nice to be on the site. First off, I would happily like to thank Jared for the invite even though he's pushed me to start something online and I figured why not? For the short introductory, My name is Dylan or simply ''D''. A so called ''regular'' at the privately-owned establishment known as , Heroes Your Mom Threw Out Comic book store (lovely name). Anyhow t0 get this done and out of the way, as a person who reads comic books as a form of entertainment, I tend to look for other material that isn't just within the pages of a typical magazine.
To put it simply, I'm not here to write post about comics because that job already goes to the fellows who run this shindig. I'm here to do something different and that difference I believe deserves some spotlight on the entertainment industry. Rather than talk about comics in general, I will be posting on one of the most over looked forms of entertainment that's been around since the Early 1900's: Anime. Yes the Japanese cartoon medium that's been known for its crazy, big eyed, giant robot and magical girl antic's that were pretty familiar with. Sadly, it's tropes like these is where anime usually gets its criticism and looked down upon the casual viewers , but if you as casual viewer's just give yourself the chance to look in the right direction you won't be sorry nor disappointed. Hopefully that's what these post will hope to accomplish.


So to start off the following month, I'll be giving my in depth review at one of the all time American favorites: Cowboy Bebop. Tune in next month to check it out!

50 Girls 50 #1 Comic Review


This new sci-fi adventure from Image comics is a throwback to the golden age of comics and television, touching upon futuristic exploration of the unknown universe. A group of female spaces explorers travel through a wormhole to report on the unknown galaxy, but when their return trip home goes unexpectedly wrong these astronauts find themselves with some very important choices to make.

The comic takes this classic storyline and adds a modern twist to it


creating an interesting sci-fi adventure that fans with definitely enjoy. The story includes an intresting array of characters ranging from the remarkably attractive female astronauts to giant man eating (or in this case woman eating) bugs that are sure to give a few people nightmares.

The writing of Doug Murray and Frank Cho is nothing short of spectacular. It is nice to see an aspect of Cho’s writing as opposed to his artwork that the comic world is used to. You can clearly see the differences in writing technique between the two writers, and it is clear that one writer is the driving force behind the story while the other is taking the back seat, but who is leading who?


The art takes the cake in the talent department. Axel Medellin has an uncanny ability to mimic the art of other respected artists but give it a twist of his own. It is abundantly clear that Medellin is creating his version of Frank Cho’s work, using Cho’s style to tell Cho’s story but also giving the reader a new type of art at the same time. It is simply beautiful.


Overall 50 Girls 50 is a fun, interesting, as well as dark book. It has the qualities to be another Image hit title, but does not have the content that is needed to appeal to a wide range of readers. It is a definite read for anyone who is a fan of shows/comics like Star Trek and Dr. Who, but it is also great for any new reader who is willing to try it out.

Review: "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" - A fun summer movie?

Michael Bay delivers another summer blockbuster based on the Hasbro line of toys with “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” The joyous memories I had as a child watching Optimus Prime and Megatron do battle on Saturday morning cartoons were already crushed when “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” was released in the summer of 2009. I’m happy to report that the third installment of the “Transformers” film saga isn’t any worse than its predecessor, though I’d be lying if I said it were much of an improvement.

The story in “Transformers 3” is incoherent, which should come as little surprise considering the plot of last film. It all begins with a spaceship, called “The Arc,” which crashed on the moon to begin the Space Race.

It Arrives


If audiences have learned anything from J.J. Abrams over the past decade or so, it’s to expect the unexpected when it comes to his wildly diverse projects. He has experimented in nearly all genres (even blending them) in his impressive resume that includes cult television hits Lost, Alias, and Fringe as well as big screen successes Cloverfield, Mission Impossible III, and 2009’s acclaimed Star Trek revamp that managed to turn the heads of even the staunchest Trek-haters. When it was announced that Abrams was putting together a new project, under the watchful eye of mentor Steven Spielberg, puzzlingly titled Super 8, message boards went crazy, and rightfully so.

After all, if there is any one factor that binds Abrams’ vast array of work together it is his love of mystery, and Super 8 is no exception. Well folks, the waiting is over and after months of vague viral marketing campaigns and trailers that revealed – well – nothing, Super 8 is currently at a theatre near you, resting comfortably atop the box office competition, a seat it has rightfully earned.

Our Last Hope is the First Class


A confident young man, complete with a full head of hair, swaggers over to a beautiful young woman, spouting off evolutionary facts as off kilter, albeit effective, pick up lines. Ladies and gentleman, meet Charles Xavier, who general audiences now know as Professor X, the wise, benevolent, very bald and wheel-chair bound leader of the super powered squad commonly known as The X-Men.

Set in the early 1960s, X-Men: First Class is a wildly imaginative and stylish film, a loose prequel to the popular film franchise that has brought in over one billion dollars over the course of four installments.

Even though the series had continued to prove profitable, it began to fall out of favor with both critics and audiences, first with the initial trilogy’s concluding chapter, X-Men: The Last Stand, and next with the entertaining, but overall disappointing X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Somewhere along the line, the films lost the thematic integrity and smart storytelling with which director Bryan Singer’s X-Men and X2 established the bar for serious, respectable comic adaptations.

Enter director Matthew Vaughn, hot off his success with the no holds barred Kick-Ass, and a limited but impressive resume that also features the British gangster film Layer Cake and the underrated fantasy gem Stardust. Vaughn proves to be just the adrenaline boost that the lagging X-Franchise needs. His presence, coupled with a story from Singer (who also returns in a producing capacity) makes for a fast, fun, thrill ride with real gravitas, a true return to the excellent form of the first two films.

DC to relaunch all of their titles in September.




After Flashpoint #5 DC will relaunch all of their books starting with a new number 1 issue. The characters are said to be younger and will be living in a more current world that will speak to todays audience. The first new series that was announced is a new JLA which is being written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Jim Lee. The other big news is that DC will finally be putting out digital comics on the same day as the physical copies.

Finally we can all stop going to Heroes.

I think it's a terrible move. I don't care what you think but you can comment anyway. I mean it's a free country or whatever.

Free Comic Book Day Reviews Part 2

To continue on with what Gwelch has already posted, here are additional reviews for some of the free issues offered at the upcoming Free Comic Book Day. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the books I read and send out kudos to the publishers for releasing some excellent material this year.


Free Comic Book Day Reviews


A Quick Review of the Freebies
From Saturday

So, I'm waiting and waiting for the weekly comic list to come out and all I keep seeing is promotions for Free Comic Book Day. Well, after confronting my local comic shop about the over-due list of titles, he asks me to do him a favor. Namely, do some quick blurbs on the Free Comic Book Day books. I'm not one to say no to a good thing, so I graciously accepted the offer and started pouring over the new material. I have to say this; I was not expecting what I got. Some of these free books (Freebies) are worth there literal weight and more. I'd have gladly paid three dollars to own them. So, here's my take on some of the books you can pick up this:
Saturday, May 7th at any Comic Shop supporting Free Comic Book Day!

The Mighty Thor #1 Comic Review


The God of thunder himself is back in his new series by writer Matt Fraction and illustrated once more by comic great Oliver Copiel. Thor clashes with Glactus and the Silver Surfer, as he ascends into Marvel’s cosmic universe. What will this hold for Thor, and how does he expect to handle Glactus, an enemy of epic proportions?


Matt Fraction continues his work on Thor with this new title and new storyline. He balances the gravity of the current situation with the light heartedness of interactions between displaced Asgardians and the residents of Broxton, Oklaholma. The great thing about Fraction starting this title is now Thor fans not only have two great books to enjoy, but two great writers as well as Kieron Gillien takes over Fractions reigns as the writer of the primary Thor title. This provides ample amounts of instances where fans can do a compare and contrast of the writer’s interpretations of the many different characters involved.


Action Comics #900 Review


The world of comics has just released its biggest milestone yet with Action Comics #900. The title began back in 1938 with the introduction of the first superhero, Superman. 900 issues later, Superman still plays a prominent role in the series and is the main character is the primary story of the issue.

Super Quick Review of Fast Five.

Dumb and ridiculous, but I still found it entertaining. Maybe it was the crowd I saw it with. But if you are in the mood for a dumb heist movie, you could do worse.

Super Quick Portal 2 review.

Portal 2 is the best game of the year so far. Between the hilarious dialog, great game design or level of polish this game has. It is a definite must try, if not a must buy.



P.S. yes Cave Johnson is voiced by J.K. Simmons, and he is my favorite character.

Fear Itself: Invincible Iron Man #503 Comic Review


As Fear Itself begins to spread through the Marvel Universe, it invades the pages of the Invincible Iron Man. The series left off last issue with many of the members of Stark Resilient in dire need of help, with Tony cornered by Doc Oc and Pepper, Pim and Tim threatened by Sandman and Electro. Although the issue does not allude to the Fear Itself crossover till towards the end of the issue, it can already be told that the pages of Invincible Iron Man will play an important role in this event.

Jesus' Posse Has More Dead Presidents Than Your Bank

My BA in History allows me to inform you that the following painting is 100% historically accurate:


Check it out in greater detail at http://www.mcnaughtonart.com/artwork/view_zoom/?artpiece_id=353 My favorite part is "Child with Disability", followed in a close second by the Supreme Court Judge with 6 fingers on his hand. I assume he's crying because he knows that Inigo Montoya is coming for him.

Journey Into Mystery #622 Comic Review


Fear itself continues as we follow the story of the recently resurrected Loki and his life among the asgardians. Thor himself believes that the young Loki that has been brought back from Hel itself is a malleable mind that can be molded for the better and escape what his pervious self had done, but can Thor convince the rest of asgard of the same?

Journey into Mystery shows Loki’s path to finding himself, learning his god powers all over again and making the decision to become what Thor wants him to be, or to fall onto the path of his former self. As the series continues, readers will see if Loki will team with Thor to eliminate this fear that looms over asgard, or will he soon become part of that which haunts asgard? Only time will tell.

Cyborg


Earlier this week, I tracked down a copy of Cyborg after searching for it for a couple of months. If you're unaware of what it is, Cyborg was made to salvage costumes and sets intended for a sequel to Masters of the Universe and a live-action Spider-Man film, both to be directed by Albert Pyun, the man responsible for preposterously awful (though 100% worth watching) Alien From L.A. Deals with Mattel and Marvel fell through, so he wrote Cyborg to put the $2 million spent on the projects to use. What resulted, is some of the best trash I've ever seen. Below is the first five minutes, which contain the best dialogue exchange in the film, one that I've been quoting for the last four days. If for some reason you get impatient, skip to the 2:50 mark for a villain wearing chain-mail, sunglasses, and a leather duster, who delivers lines like "I'd be a GOD!" as though he has Down's Syndrome. Click below to see the video link.

Paul & Invincible

I posted this over on facebook as well, but I wanted to get it on here for any of you who are fans of Invincible. If you aren't - go read it now! Excellent story with incredible art! This article shows some behind the scenes on the movie set of Paul, where they held a "staged" Comicon with real comic professionals. I'm a huge fan of the artist Ryan Ottley, who wrote the article and it's always great to see popular actors showing an interest in comics and even including that in their movies.


Also, Kristen Wiig as Atom Eve - Not too shabby.

Michael Shannon is officially General Zod.



If you don't know who he is go to the 5:28 mark of the above video to hear our own Benjamin Redder asking him a question about the funniest show on television. While you're at it take a gander at the back of Bradley and Kevin's handsome heads.

Fear Itself #1 Comic Review


The Marvel crossover event of 2011 begins here with Fear Itself Book One. Following the aftermath of Siege, Earth is faced with a decision to make: what to do with Asgard and the fallen Asgardians. What will happen when Odin and Thor turn against each other? What does the daughter of the Red Skull have to do with all of this? All of these answers can be found inside this astonishing issue.

Bathroom habits survey shows multitasking

I wrote this post while in the bathroom.

I'm not sure why this survy was done.
I am surprised that 88% said they multi-
task while doing the #2.
I don't feel so odd now.

"Behind-the-door"


The survey shows that people are doing a lot of things inside their bathrooms besides the obvious: Eighty-eight percent use at least one electronic device in the bathroom; more than a third read their mail — both snail mail and e-mail; 43% get dressed; 20% sing; 19% listen to music via radio or iPod; 15% talk on the phone; and 3% watch TV."

Here is the site I found this article from http://contractormag.com/bathkitchen/bathroom_habits_survey/

Being Human Review

“Three roommates living in Boston who appear to have normal lives despite being a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf.”

Mondays at 9:00 pm

If you haven’t been watching Being Human…I’m not completely surprised. In the current entertainment industry vampires/werewolves rein supreme and it can get a little old. However, reel in your Twilight induced knee-jerk reactions and wrap your mind around the fact that SyFy (stupid new name and all) has come out with a very solid show, but even more surprising, an entertaining show revolving around vampires and werewolves.

Super


I have to say, when I first heard about this movie, I was not the least bit interested in seeing it. I thought it was just a rip off of Kick Ass. Having now gained a little bit more information about the premise, I think it will be definitely worth seeing. The trailer does not do the movie any of the justice director, James Gunn, describes it as having. I have heard in a couple of interviews, that apparently it is incredibly violent. And not in a cheesy, horror-movie type of way, but in a, "If I hit a guy as hard as I can in the head with a wrench, that's what it would look and sound like" way. But, I think the main reason I want to see this is that, apparently there is an "unconventional rape scene" in it. I guess that's the best way to put it without giving too much away. Now, I see how weird that must sound, my saying that I really want to see this movie because it has an "unconventional rape scene". Take it however you'd like I suppose. Anyway, seeing as this movie has not even been released to the general public yet and not mentioning that, due to it's content, I don't think it'll be coming to any theaters in our immediate area, I guess we will just have to wait and see how it is.

Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters #1 Comic Review


Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters from IDW publishing is a classic take on the character Godzilla. One day the God lizard emerges from the water and lays waste to Japan, and no matter how hard they try to stop the monster all attempts are meek.

Godzilla is written by Eric Powell and Tracy Marsh, and illustrated by Phil Hester. The writing is just spectacular it is simple yet defined. Short quips of fear from the onlookers, coupled with the fast pace thinking of the Japanese government work astonishingly well with the art, building off each other, a concept that is rarely seen in comics these days.

14:58...14:59...15:00.


According to the Hollywood Reporter's twitter account, @THR, the first night of Charlie Sheen's tour is over...prematurely. The packed Detroit crowd essentially booed Sheen off the stage. He called for a musical break, left the stage, and never returned. The house lights went up, and people started to leave. No doubt that EVERYONE feels ripped off.

Now, I would feel bad for the people who got cheated out of their money--but why? These people paid their good money to see some rambling idiot wax narcissistic because he chose to abandon a multimillion-dollar television contract. Feeling bad for these people getting ripped off is like feeling bad for someone who electrocutes themselves by jamming their tongue into an electrical socket - what the hell did you expect??

The tour: Charlie Sheen: Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option (which is a hilarious title in retrospect) was a 20-city, 23-tour date show. It can be assumed that this is not only the first show, but the last.

And not a moment too soon.

New Wonder Woman T.V. Series


Legion's Adrianne Palicki, is now television's Wonder Woman.

I have never really had any interest in Wonder Woman, the whole invisible jet thing does not do it for me, and from what i am hearing, this new show won't be changing my opinions any time soon.

Just from what you can see from this picture Palicki in the new costume, they are obviously not taking it very seriously. Here is a description of the plot "Slightly goofy comedy-drama about a hotshot buisiness woman, who moonlights as a Superheroine. Packed with girl power pop songs"

Now, i know you are all asking yourselves, "pete-o, my man, why should i give a fart, about why you dont give a fart, about the new Wonder Woman?"

the answer is simple, don't give a fart, but, share what you think about this new Wonder Woman T.V. show. Or just correct my poor grammar, the choice is yours.

Sucker Punch: What did you think?



A few of this blog's contributors, as well as some of its visitors, were pretty excited about Zack Snyder's latest slow-motion extravaganza, Sucker Punch. Now that it's here, what do you think? Were the attractive ladies and low-cut shirts enough? I was going to post a thought-stream of my experience watching it, but I got bored, and it contained spoilers, and though part of me would like to ruin it for people who haven't seen it yet, I think Snyder does a thorough job of that himself.

Thoughts?



For those interested, I have a full, almost snark-free review posted HERE.

Meet the new Lois

It looks like Oscar nominee Amy Adams is the new Lois Lane, a casting decision I am definitely one hundred percent behind.
“Second only to Superman himself, the question of who will play Lois Lane is arguably what fans have been most curious about. So we are excited to announce the casting of Amy Adams, one of the most versatile and respected actresses in films today. Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful.”
- Director Zack Snyder, Superherohype

Adams joins a cast that includes Henry Cavill as Superman and Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha and Jonathan Kent, respectively.

Quick Movie Reviews of Paul & Battle L.A.

Paul is not the best Pegg/Frost film, but it isn't anything to be ashamed of. Sure, not all the jokes hi.t  A lot of the humor is straight references to other sci-fi films. Pegg and Frost are as likable as always. Jason Bateman is surprisingly good as a bad ass man in black. Seth Rogen as the voice of Paul is good as well.  No one is terrible, but I can't help wishing that Edgar Wright directed this.

For a Second opinion: Click Here


Battle: Los Angles is not for everyone. It lacks any emotion connection. When people die I could tell who it was. Also the squad is full of war movies clichés. The dialog ranges from OK to just terrible. Aaron Eckhart does his best to sell it. But the one thing movie does quite well is blow sh*t up. Plus in an round about way it kinda give the movie Signs the finger. If you are going to see this movie I suggest a matinée screening or with a nice large TV with a decent sound system.

Cartoon Network Joins the DC Nation

It was only a matter of time before Warner Brothers and subsequently DC Entertainment firmly allied themselves with the Cartoon Network.  There's a long history of Warners partnering with the cable network to bring many animated projects to the small screen, and last years purchase of Marvel by Disney it was  pretty obvious that the Cartoon Network and Warner Brothers would be looking to cement their relationship in a deal that would create an exclusive alliance.

A Pirate's Life For Me

Here's the newest trailer for On Stranger Tides, the latest Pirates of the Caribbean installment. Gone are former franchise mainstays Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley (though I wouldn't entirely rule out cameos...time will tell) and breathing new life into Captain Jack Sparrow's wild and crazy world are Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, and Oscar Nominated director Rob Marshall (Chicago), with the only returning principal cast member (besides Depp) being the always impeccable Geoffrey Rush. I guess we will find out once and for all, come this May, if the Pirates brand has gone stale, but if all else fails, it's always fun to watch Johnny Depp as Jack and I for one am excited to see McShane as Blackbeard.

Clive Barkers Hellraiser #1 Comic Review


The comic adaptation of Clive Barkers classic horror movie Hellraiser was more impressive than I originally thought it was going to be. Most of the time that there is an adaptation of a movie, no matter how good the movie is, the reader is disappointed, but Boom really has a good book on their hands, both well written and illustrated.


The book starts off with the classic Hellraiser story line, someone has found the box and Pinhead and his minions have come to claim their lives with a beautifully gruesome death, which is illustrated in this book by Leonardo Manco. The story continues, focusing more on Pinhead himself as he seeks out a new experience in his life, becoming mortal. It will be interesting to see how this endeavor pans out, and how the life of Kirsty Cotton will play a role in it.

The Return of CrossGen continues with Ruse #1


Ruse is the second title to be released by Marvel’s recently resurrected CrossGen publishing. It is a miniseries about the world’s greatest detective, and his partner/assistant and how they solve the crimes that plague the streets of England.


The first thing that is noticeable about this series is that it is strangely familiar, as if a series that chronicles the events of a great detective and his partner already existed. Does Sherlock Holmes ring a bell? Ruse is highly unoriginal, and it is as if the creator of the series took almost every aspect of Holmes and created the character Simon Archard.

Jared is alone on this one. Yes, the music is loud at first. It gets softer eventually. I hope you like it. If not, I'm sure you will let me know (Carl) ha ha ha. As always, thanks a ton for listening!

Russian X-Men: First Class Trailer


Russia's trailer for X-Men: First Class was released a few days ago and, while similar to the U.S. teaser, has some cool new clips (including a shot-for-shot callback to Magneto's origin as portrayed in X1).

Batman vs. The Terrorists?


Has Batman Inc. been infiltrated by a sleeper agent?!

Aasif Mandvi, of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", has a short fake news bit that I thought may cause some of us here to laugh for a moment. I haven't heard much of Bosch Fawstin's work, but if his independent book ever makes it to publishing, it may be an amusing look into his perhaps slightly paranoid mindset on the war against all things Muslim. Is there a war on being Muslim? I'd better watch some real news for a change.

Take a gander at the link below.

Electriflying!

I was in New York last night and happened to walk by the venue where the Spider-Man musical, Turn Off the Dark, is playing and saw this poster for it, which made me burst out laughing.


I'm not sure how reliable Glenn Beck is on critiquing Broadway musicals, but if his comment is accurate, the music is apparently the only thing good about the show. The producers have just fired director Julie Taymor after she refused to make major changes to the production. I don't know if anyone else was excited to see how bad this thing was going to be, but it is being yet again delayed. Boo.
