For the Love of Reviews

I’m still very far behind in my reading stack – almost a month behind in some spots – to the point that I’m seriously considering dropping a few titles and just picking up the trade so that I can keep up with some other titles. I tell you this to explain why none of the [...]

Essentials for an Epic Rivalry

If you’ve been reading the comments on Mike Haynes’s Countdown posts over at Panels of Awesome, you’ll have noticed that I’m a big fan. His most recent post on the Top 5 Comic Book Rivalries has really captured my interest, though. I’ve been running over what I think the greatest rivalries are and then I [...]

X-Men Messiah Complex – The Story So Far

You may remember my review of the Messiah CompleX one-shot, which was Chapter 1 of the Messiah CompleX crossover. It’s been a long time, but I’m going to try to catch up with the reviews now, but first I need to say a few things. First, I haven’t paid much attention to the X-Men in [...]

For The Love of Quickies

Ok, just a few quick links and blurbs here… Geekanerd has compared some promo shots from the upcoming Watchmen movie with corresponding panels from the comic.

They briefly discuss how they came to produce 30 Days of Night, but it looks like the meaty parts of that subject will be in the upcoming second part of [...]

The first, by new Marvel exclusive Daniel Acuna, I’m not too sure how I feel about : The second, by regular Hulk artist Ed McGuinness, I’m kinda in love with: Also, I still stand by my most recent [...]

Return of the Cracker: Now With Brainspew!

I have returned from my Thanksgiving feasting and I’m still working through my email and news backlog here, so I have nothing much to say at this point. It seems that most of the web is caught up with Marvel and DC’s attempts to shut down ZCultfm, and I may have something to say about [...]

Incredible Hulk – Return to Sakaar?

I’m sure many of you have seen this image on Superhero Hype: It’s from the new Incredible Hulk movie, and Hulk looks pretty damn cool, but what really caught my eye was the word “Sakar” in the lower left corner of the poster: I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, especially because of the different spelling, [...]

Blame it on IRON MAN!!

Contrary to the slanderous disinformation spread by Tony Stark and perpetuated by the propagandists at Marvel and my well intentioned, but misguided friend The Mike Haynes from Panels of Awesome, Hulk is NOT to blame for the issues Marvel.com had on Tuesday, Nov. 13th. The perpetrator was actually Iron Man, who decided to crash Marvel’s [...]
