I enjoyed the first scene in this issue.  It’s more of the same thing we’ve come to expect from these…

I’m a sucker.  I admit it, throw in a retro Marvel segment and if it’s done well, you’ve got me. …

I was a little skeptical when I heard about this series, mostly because of the price, but holding it in…

April 29, 2011 11:00 am The early 80's Spider-Man cartoon that was on at the same time as Amazing Friends is supposed to be coming this Summer.  I think it is the only Spider-Man cartoon that I haven't watched at least some of.  My first year of college, at the dawn of the age of bit torrent, I downloaded and started watching most of these other shows.  90's Spider-Man, X-Men, Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four are the ones I remember holding up the best.
 
April 26, 2011 10:42 am I am extremely excited and have high hopes for Thor and X-Men.  Secretly, I'm kind of hoping Green Lantern is as terrible as some of the trailers look. 
April 4, 2011 11:14 am The only bad news is that we're not getting the end of Volume 4. I loved that series. I wonder where they're continuing from.
February 23, 2011 10:22 pm I haven't read them in a long time, but the Dan Jurgans and JR Jr./Stuart Immonen Thor series that they've been collecting recently was fantastic at the time.  I think there are three or four trades of it out already.

Volumes two and three of the Essential collections are some of my favorite Kirby stuff.  I was not a big fan of the first volume, which treated Thor as a normal super hero and didn't get into the Asgard stuff.  At some point, he just started going to Asgard with no explination and then eventually they retconned an origin of Odin trapping him in Blake's body.  It was tons of fun and once that was out of the way, the big cosmic stories made it even better. 
February 10, 2011 1:57 pm Holy shit, that video is infuriating.  Are they arguing that entertainment for adults should not exist?  That seems to be their point, even forgetting that they got all the facts about the game wrong.  Wow.
December 26, 2010 7:11 pm It's very cool that they're doing this, but I'm glad to have the black and white version.
December 6, 2010 6:13 pm Not to be an asshole, but… that still looks like Mary Jane to me.  Either way, she's amazingly gorgeous and a good actor, so everything will be fine.
November 4, 2010 8:59 pm This is disappointing to me, not because it's bad casting, just because I was hoping we wouldn't have to go through the origin again.
October 18, 2010 7:03 pm The only thing about this that surprises me is that they're still planning Iron Man 3, which is good news.
