October 25, 2012 9:12 pm Ugh, this is not good news. I can not get excited about Singer returning as a director.
March 1, 2012 8:18 pm Ugh, really? I'm loving his take on the FF. He actually writes it as a Sci-Fi book and not a super-hero one which I think is an interesting approach. Hope he writes the Avengers so I can start reading it again. As for the eye contact I've met him a few times and never noticed. Cons can be an overwhelming sensory overload for creators, they are typically pulled all over the place. It's hard to be engaging for 72 hours.
February 16, 2012 3:36 pm The John Byrne She-Hulk graphic novel from the 80's was also a great read, equal parts sex appeal (She-Hulks nude interrogation) and creepy (people composed of cockroaches). And of course a Helicarrier gets destroyed.
October 25, 2011 8:29 pm I won't lie, this review made my day, if not the month. Robinson's run on Star Man is one of the reason's I write comics. Rahsan and I love this book and we're are working hard to make sure it can be seen by a wider audience. Thank you so much James for the taking the time to share your thoughts on the book.

Sigh...sticking points not covered in podcast.

Wolverine is in the jungle with a team of killer mutants and decides to quit the team. They tell him "you can't just walk away." ...and then he literally just walks away. 

Wolverine fights a fire escape ladder. 

Stryker turns him into a killing machine and then says "We need to erase his memory." Everybody then acts surprised when Wolverine hears him. Uhm...of course he can hear you, he's only ten feet away. Maybe you should have erased his memory before turning him into a killing machine. 

Bad cliched action movie dialogue "Look what the cat dragged in..."

I kept waiting for the story to start but it never did. Jackman said he spent a year working out before the film started shooting. If only screenwriting got such attention. They tried to do too much and accomplished too little.

I'm going to have to Netflix Punisher War Zone to get the taste of XO:W outta my mouth.  

 

 

 

December 15, 2008 2:37 pm Loved it. May was a handful and the real Peter Parker i read about as a kid showed up. Roger Stern even picked up a plot thread from the West Coast Avengers mini series. Thank you baby jesus. More Stern please. Have Bob Gale make his coffee.

Wow. I caught a matinee yesterday and was lucky to find a theatre that was still playing it...but fuck me if that wasn't a good time at the movies. 

The Punisher doles out some unbelievable violence in this movie. The chair through the head was a personal favorite. Jigsaw's transformation scene was unflinchingly gory. Almost as hideous as his his Prince inspired wardrobe. 

 

Sure I could have swallowed a scrabble set and crapped a better  script but...the Punisher blew someone up, mid air, with a missile. If this movie had come out in 1988 it would have made 300 million dollars. I got my ten dollars worth. Shit, I'm going to buy the DVD when it comes out. They probably have it at Walgreens now.

Is 4.99 for 48 pages of story a bad deal? If a regular comic is 2.99 for 22, then by that yard a 48 page comic could easily be 6 dollars, especially if it had a spine (this one has a staple, like similar to Iron Man the end). Although I understand 5 bucks is a lot to take a chance on a out of continuity done in one.

I actually liked this book. It was a throwback to the Marvel Team Up stories of the seventies. It features classic reditions of the characters, some bizzare dialogue choices and incredible art. My only concern was the "Mature Content" label on the cover. Nothing inside deserved that label. I think they did it to trick me into buying it.

I love this book in no small part to Jordi Bernet. I liked the art last issue, I wouldn't want to see it every month but it was interesting.

I heard IDW is going to collect Bernet's Torpedo 38 series and I can't wait. It's an incredibly sleezy and sinister gangster series.

I feel your pain. The book is hideous. I flip through it in the shop and shake my head. I've accepted the fact that the Hulk, my Hulk died at the end of WWH.

As for the identity of Red Hulk. Rulk. Enflamed hemmeroid hulk...It's Igor. Who? The Russian spy who continued the Gamma bomb countdown after Bruce went out to help Rick Jones. He's a red commy, now a red hulk. Snore.
