New WATCHMEN Trailer!

On Nov 13, 2008 11:10 PM

I only wish that they were doing this without Snyder's gimmicky slow motion/cgi schtick.  This is such a highly lauded book, the over the top 300 style effects seem to cheapen it to me. ...and why is Christian Bale overdubbing Rorschach??  Still, looks very interesting and am eagerly awaiting this.

iFanboy - Episode #96 - Comics From Movies

On Nov 12, 2008 3:21 PM

I'm late to this party... just watched the video.  But... c'mon the History of Violence movie sucked.  The book was pretty damned good and the flick just bastardized it.  The Crow is probably, IMO, the best comic book made... I'd wager you guys saw the History of Violence movie before you read the graphic novel?  That might explain it... although, it's not very explainable...

New Comics for 11/05/08 was eating that. Bastard.

Wow, this is a first for me.  On the initial scrolling through this weeks books, there wasn't a single pull for me... after going through it again, I pulled the new Sandman book (not the Absolute, those will be on my Christmas list).  I'm sure once I get to the store (Mike's Comics in New Baltimore, MI), I'll add a couple.  Was thinking of picking up House of Mystery, but they'...

Heroes - S03E07 - Eris Quod Sum

On Oct 27, 2008 8:00 PM

Just watched the episode... thank you DVR!!  I do enjoy the way this plot is progressing, but I do also agree there could be some trimming of deadweight... I guess that's the hazard of 20-some episode seasons. I guess the first thing I'd change is that Sylar and Peter are simply way too powerful.  This was a mistake from the first season...  it would make Arthur Petrelli seem t...

"RJ" makes a lot more sense to me than "DJ."

Well played.  My pick was a toss up between this and The Sword... with the Sword coming up short by slight edge.  The depth of the characterization won out... not to mention Terry Moore's amazing art (although to nitpick: he cross hatches a little too much for my taste).  But, The Sword had an amazing fight with a nice little cliffhanger ending...  and well, um... All Star S...

07.20.2008 - 'The Dark Knight'

On Jul 18, 2008 3:00 AM

I hated Batman Begins at first, and while it has grown on me some... I'm still not a fan. That being said, The Dark Knight almost lived up to the hype.  It got close enough.  It's still not the best comic movie made in my opinion, it definitely created a comic book world to be envied by any other film maker.  Without the silly nuances of the origins of Batman and the Joker to c...

Great pick!  I think that the Luna Bros. did get a little lost on Girls.  This story is tons more focused up til this point.

The C Word

On Jul 1, 2008 1:18 PM

Last week or so, I had a epiphany.  Was talking to a friend, who is mostly a Marvel Zombie.  He tends to look at DC as a joke....  I tried to defend DC.  I think Marvel's a bigger joke.  Skrull's??  C'mon... then I thought New Gods.  Yeesh.  Peter Parker losing MJ, cripes.  All stupid ways out. Then I started to think about it more.  Then...
