July 26, 2013 3:35 am The movie was alright. Not "HOLY CRAP I GOTTA SEE IT AGAIN NOW" good, but it was pretty O.K. One thing that it drove home for me was the fact that there's only so much that can be done with Wolverine. We already know he can kick ass really well, he's got the claws, and he can heal super-fast. In this movie, he kicked ass really well, used his claws, and healed super-fast. Nothing really new. Still, it was fun to watch. As most X-Men readers probably guessed, the movie is loosely (VERY loosely) based on the Frank Miller mini-series. There are some key incidents from the comic that are presented here, but tweaked quite a bit. One particularly memorable scene is presented, but changed & compressed to fit the flow of the movie. The changes unfortunately watered down the scene, IMO. The key characters from the mini-series are introduced here as well, which was pretty cool. As with the comic, they add some dimension to Logan & facilitate some important character development. Some of the relationships are HEAVILY tweaked. This isn't something that detracts from the film, however. In fact, not knowing what to expect helped to keep the movie interesting for me. In summary: I think the producers took Miller's story, decided it wasn't flashy enough for a summertime movie, and jazzed it up by adding a bunch of new twists and turns. Some of this added-on stuff worked really well; other elements felt like unneeded fluff. For what it's worth, my favorite part of the movie was the bonus scene during the end credits. THAT scene was kick-ass. It actually gave me goosebumps.

July 25, 2013 1:46 pm I thought this was a cool little book. Something pretty monumental happens, but it doesn't directly impact any of the major heroes from the Marvel or Ultimate universe (YET). What has me kind of excited is what this series will potentially mean for the entirety of the Ultimate and 616 'verses. I don't want to jinx anything, but it looks like the status-quo is going to be permanently altered. BIG TIME.

July 24, 2013 5:45 pm Is the GOTG footage included in this vid?

July 23, 2013 4:19 am Man, what's going on with this book? I want to like it so much it hurts, but it feels like it's been stuck on "meh" ever since Broo got shot.

July 22, 2013 9:32 pm I think some folks were disappointed by the return of The Sentry.

July 22, 2013 9:29 pm Remender's Uncanny X-Force is worth reading even if you don't care about getting some background on Uncanny Avengers. It's great stuff. :)

July 20, 2013 12:22 am Richards really messed him up; his heart has stopped, but "To Be Continued..." I have to say though; even for comics, that "surgery" is a lot to bounce back from.
