July 4, 2012 12:03 am @Mono0521 you can't have Flash as Venom out of the gate. Flash has to go to war to gain his soldier skills, and, above all else, his humility. To me, Flash became more of an actual human person after he came back from war, both in original continuity and Brand New Day continuity, which is where him as Venom came from. @Invasionforce, we must have been watching completely different movies, because Flash had no actual character storyline. He was just there and not consistent at all in his portrayal. It was too jarring, because he was asshole, then sensitive, to buddy, with no storyline to speak of to inform why his personality suddenly was all over the place.

July 3, 2012 4:51 pm I hated the characterization of Flash Thompson throughout the movie. First, he's the violent douchenozzle who is going to graduate into "most likely to commit manslaughter" territory, especially with that way too violent assault on Peter when he refuses to take a picture of him dunking another kid into his lunch. Then, once Uncle Ben is dead, we all of a sudden have sensitive "let it out, bro" Flash. Wut. Then, finally at the end, we have a Flash that displays a buddy-buddy attitude with Peter, complete with friendly noogie. Was Flash's entire character arc left on the cutting room floor? The only times we see Flash put in his place is when Gwen publicly reveals that he's a dummy and he's getting tutoring from the hot nerd girl in order to get him to back off of, again, his vicious attack on peter that anyone else would get arrested for; and the basketball scene.

June 27, 2012 4:57 pm Not really. Peter's not involving insects in his experiment, so he wouldn't adopt a bug-theme. The only reason to do so would forever put the kid in Spidey's shadow simply because he's the sidekick.

June 20, 2012 3:05 am Jim Carrey possibly could have done a great creep Riddler if they hadn't decided to make him a bad caricature of Frank Gorshin's Riddler with a little bit of Jervis Tetch thrown in the blender (at least, that's how I justify the mind-reading/control angle of the movie).

June 1, 2012 3:47 pm My bad, you're correct. I meant Hermes, but as you see the timestamp, I wasn't in an accurate frame of mind.

June 1, 2012 5:40 am So, judging by the cover of #3, does this mean that this iteration of Scott's GL is going to be straight connected to the Corps? The new costume looks more in line with modern Lantern suits, and not the red, yellow and green. And what will be the mystical nature behind it? We saw that Jay doesn't get his power from the Speed Force, but from the Greek god Mercury.

May 25, 2012 5:31 am It's those little touches that really make the panel, don't you think?

May 21, 2012 2:29 pm So, wait, Bill Hicks ain't dead?
