BornIn1142

Name: Kaarel Jakobson

Bio: An idealistic cynic, a hopeful pessimist, a stupid intellectual... Truly, BornIn1142 is a man of contradictions. Hey, is anyone actually going to read this? I'd be surprised.I'm a guy from Estonia (and I don't blame you for not knowing where that is) currently studying in Scotland. There's really not much more to say. Comics and anime are my two main interests, but I'm also an 'aspiring writer' in the same sense as half the Internet seems to be. Mostly novels/prose, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't loooove getting into the comics business. I'm a bit of a douchebag, as you'll notice.

    MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’ (No Spoilers)
    May 2, 2012 10:23 am I had an incredible time with this movie. It's kind of a gold standard for action blockbusters. The only faults I can manage to come up with are mere nitpicks.

    Great Moments in Comics History: Justice League America #35
    March 29, 2012 2:28 pm Truly amazing. Somehow, J. M. DeMatteis was able to predict the inexplicable and arbitrary perversion of Maxwell Lord's character 15 years before it happened!

    March 16, 2012 10:44 am I wonder if Shimizu drew the words herself or if the letterer pitched in?

    March 2, 2012 9:23 am What about that Unwritten cover ISN'T perfect? The beams of light seem to mesh with the wings and golden hair seamlessly. I like the perspective a lot too.

    Marvel’s The Avengers Gets a New Marvel’s The Avengers Movie Poster
    February 28, 2012 12:31 pm I like how the main POV character is shuffled somewhere in the back while the fan-favorite takes center stage.

    Top 5: Comic Book Wars
    February 28, 2012 11:15 am I'm a little confused what the criteria here are... The "No. 1" entry seems to assert that this is a list of notability/infamy, not writing quality?
