This is Entry 16: Comic Book Round Up!

This seems to be almost like a schedule: every 15 or so days there will a post! So, here are a post about how we should all go "green" to save the planet! NOT! Well, that is all fine & dandy this post is about what this blog is about predominately: Comic Books!



- After four months (I think) we have the first issue of



Now I only picked up 2 (Quasar & Starlord) of the 4 prolgoue books (The other two were Wraith & Nova). This story pulls out all of Marvel's Cosmic characters (Xemu? When was the last time Xemu was in a book, The 1970's?). When I turned to the last page, one word same to mind: DUDE!, it was that awesome. I won't say why, so you should go & see why. SIDENOTE: The book "Quasar" made the not so cool villian (The Super Adaptoid) into a cool & pretty evil villian. Also how Quasar took him done in Issue 4 was pure genius!

- I picked up the forth book in the Mystic Arcana mini-series, each issue focused on a different mystic person in the Marvel Universe. This is was Runaway Sister Grimm a.k.a Nico Minoru. Now, I like the Runaways book & Nico might be one of my more favorite characters but I wasn't really feeling the book. The best part of the book was the cover. So, here it is, enjoy:



- One of the better Mini-Series I've read came to a close this week. It's Super-Villian Team-Up: MODOK'S 11, it's well done consider there are no really big name connected to the book (both in characters & who did the book). I'd say go pick it up if you can find the issues or wait for the trade.

- It's that time of the year again, no it's not Christmas. Well... yes it is but that not what I'm talking about. Marvel rolled out another set of What if? books, normalyl a set of five. Like last year, the books will be alternate takes on their most rescent Mini-Series: Planet Hulk, Annihilation, Civil War & X-Men: Rise and Fall of the Shi'Ar Empire There was to be a What If about Spider-Man/Fantastic Four but due to the untimely death of of Mike Wieringo it became unfinished. So, It is apparently replaced by a Spider-Man Vs. Wolverine book (I don't know, that's just want Wikipedia told me).

The 1st book of this year's series is out, here is What If? Featuring Planet Hulk. Now I didn't read the series or it's follow up (World War Hulk), but I 2 probelms with it. 1. Look at this page:



It's a beaten up Blackbolt & Caiera The Oldstrong (Hulk's extraterrestrial wife). So my problem with it is: Isn't by speaking he's doing the oposite of what he wanted to do? My 2nd problem was that the Fred Hembeck drawn story seemed pointless. (The best of the 3 stories was the one in the middle, entitled: "Peaceful Planet:).



- Action Comic #858, the first part of the Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes, which is following up on some plot threads from the resecent JLA/JSA crossover (JLA #8, 9, 10 & JSA # 5, 6, 7). There a really cool double page spread of the legion together but my scanner isn't big enought to scan the whole thing in or I'd show it to you all. (I might take a picture of it with my digital camera & then post it that way).

- Justice Society of America #10, the first of the "Thy Kingdom Come" storyline. The plot is done by Geoff Johns (The book's writer) & Alex Ross (The man behind the art & original idea of Kingdom Come). The cool thing (at least to me) is when Superman flashes back to his world (now known as Earth 22) the flashback are done by Mr. Ross:



There's even a hidden joke on that page. The panel with the newspaper shown (panel 4?), the man with the camera, glasses & fedora looks alot like Phil Sheldon, the main protagonist from another of Mr. Ross' works: Marvels. I think Sheldon also cameoed in the original KC, too. I'm looking forword to see where this storyline goes.

Well, I think that it's for now, Jim. As always: Stay Jazzy!



COMING SOON:The Back Issues. I got a whole bunch, so they get there own post!

This is Entry 15: Con Prologue

There is a big ol' Comic Book review post that is forth coming. I'm not sure if I want to wait & add in what will be this week's books. I have last weeks (which were 3 books) but there is also the books I picked up at the Seattle Comicard Convention yestarday. I got some wonderfull stuff! Now, I would have reviews for you to read but I just got burnt out from reading (What? I know, I was kind of shocked, too.) So, that post will be forth coming maybe early November (which is later this week).

I've also given some thought to making a post about Me. I know, I know: every post is about me, but this post would give you my Comic Book credentials, in fact that might be what I'll call it. Look for that later.

Well, I don't really have anything else to say. So, check back later this week there should be awesomeness!

This is Entry 14: What the Internet says about Me #2

I thought I'd post this here, I thought it seemed so appropriate.

This is Entry 13: Quick Hits #4

Will this post be bad luck? I don't know. Let's find out together!

Well, Jim (as you may remember that is my blanket name for you, my readers): It's almost been one month since I made a post here. The reason is was that I was working 2 jobs. One during the week & one during the weekend (Since Friday was both I work most of my waking hours on that day). So, I made a decision & quite one. I now have my weekends back to do with what I please! I've now taking this chance to update MyBlog! I've a big ol' pile of comics & at least one thing about TV to tell you about.

------------

Comics!

Last week, before I went to work, a local comic book store was having a sell so of course I went & did muchly fill up on the savings. So, that is why this time's Comic book round-up might be a little fuller then normal or it may not be.

DC Comics:

- The Brave and the Bold #7, I normally don't pick up this book but there were 2 reason why I did this issue. 1) It's co-stars Power Girl, one of my favorite DC Characters & 2) George Perez drew the issue.

- I had a minor Nerdgasms when I heard about this book coming out & had another when I saw the 1st issue out on the shelf. The Book: Captain Carrot and the Final Ark. Yup! a talking animal book. This sort of think appeals to my inner geek at it's basest level. Sidenote: The Volume 1 of series is coming out in trade paperback. I know what's going on my Christmas wishlist!

- Next is a book I bought just so that I could Blog about one panel. The Book: Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Parallax. The panel: this one.



The back story is that the parasite Parallax is tormenting Kyle Rayner from inside his own mind & we see drawings of people Kyle had loved (His mom, Donna Troy & Jade). Those all come later & The first girl we see is "Alex", his childhood sweetheart. My question is: Am I the only person who thinks that she looks a little to much like Hillary Duff for it to be an accident?

Moving on....

-Back in issue #52 of the yearlong series by the same name we saw the DC Multiverse return. With it we got a glimse of the new Earth 3 & with The Search for Ray Palmer: Crime Society get get even more info like the main team is no longer called The Crime Syndicate of America they are now the Crime Society. I really like the book, I won't mind seeing more from this world. 2 sidenotes: 1) Now the other earth that from 52 #52 that got me excited was the return of Earth 2: I'll be on the look out for a book with that in it. 2) I am not reading Countdown some anything that's happening in that book I'm unaware of. So, Earth 2 might of shown up there & we might know about Earth 3: I don't know. I'll wait until it's all over & read it like I'm reading 52 in a collected format (the only single issue I own of the series is the last issue).

-A new book that I'm enjoying (Booster Gold) gave me hope for another book that I enjoy. On the fifth page of art, the first page of art after the first page of ad's is this panel:



In the upper right hand corner is a panel off, Doctor 13 & other characters from Doctor 13: Architecture & Morality, a book I highly recommend: I rocks much more then most stuff I've read rescently & I read alot! The scene presented is not in the book so does this mean there is another Doctor 13 miniseries on the way or did the people behind Booster Gold also like that book & wanted to give a nod to it? I don't know, I hope the first is true.

Marvel Comics:

-What? What's that sound? Is the sound of the on coming death of a comic book? I think so from the way certain things are written in Exiles & from what I've heard: The book is folding up sometime after it's hundredth issue. They have a commpanion book called: X-Men: Die by the Sword when the Exiles & Excalibur from the main Marvel Universe meet up (which is intresting since each team has a former member of the other team on them currently).

- 2 long coming books that I had to think hard about what was going on in each book: Runaway & The Mighty Avengers. I still like the books but they are massive delays between issues. The delays with MA is even more funny since every issue has taken place on one day. Another comment about MA it reminds me vaguely about Marvel comics from the 70's it's has some of the same feelings (at least for me) to it.

- Super-Villian Team-Up: MODOK'S 11 is a great book. I'm not sure how if I can put into words much I like. It's well written & well drawn. The story has many a twist & turn. Go out, get the books & read them!

- Heroes for Hire #14, they are still tying into the World War Hulk storyline. I wish they'd get over with it. Not sure if I like the book anymore, it was fine up to the WWH tie-in. I'll give it a few more issue until I may my final verdict.

-One of the things I liked that came out of Civil War is Penance & he has his own miniseries (Peneance: Relentless), with this issue (#2) it looks like he's off to go.. well off Nuke, the man responible for helping start off the whole Civil War. But, I don't it's so clear cut. I await the next issue.

I'm only about half way through my pile. So, 1 new book & then back issues. Then, 1 TV thing.

New Book: The Umbrella Academy. Pick it up. It's good!

Ok, so now...

Back Issues:

- Adventures in the DCUniverse: I really like the art of John Dalaney, the guy behind the look of this series. It's cartoony enough.

- I picked up The Avengers (volume 1) Annual #11 for 2 pages in the back. Why? Those two pages are the official Avengers Charter. Sidenote: Hulk has some nice handwriting.



- I picked up The Avengers (volume 1) #194 because of the cover blurb: Ever wonder what the Avengers do on their day off? See for yourself in "INTERLUDE!". I'm kind of a sucker for down time issues & this was a good one. We get some nice pathos about Vision in this.

- I picked up The Avengers (volume 1) # 280 because of the cover image:



I just had to find out what happens inside. It's a nice retrospective of the team through their faithful servant's eyes.

- Next is one I just bough because the covers was just so odd. It's The Avengers (Volume 1) #214:



It's not all that great of an issue. It's is an odd one.

- I picked up 2 Hulk issues: #291 & #469. 214 is a sad look back on the life of General Thadeus "Thunderbolt" Ross & 469 Hulk fights the Super-Adaptoid.

------------

Now, that one TV thing. I've been enjoying the show "Bionic Woman" but I had missed last week's episode. I was sad but I knew you could see the episodes for "free" on NBC.com. I went & qued up the episode & watched. I did have to same commercial 4 times but it was a mostly free episode. The video matched up quite nicely with the audio, there was a slight delay but nothing to annoying. I may try it again if I ever missan NBC show again.

------------

Well, that's it. Until next time, Jim: Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 12: Quick Hits #3

It's been 13 days since last posting. I've been busy. I got 2 Jobs which take a whole bunch of time, but I should maybe be back more offen. But, time is short. So this might just tunr into another Quick Hits Posts.

TV:
The Fall Season Premieres started this week. Here's some quick reviews of some stuff I saw. Chuck: Nice show. I'd watch more of it. Heroes: Yippie! Reaper: I like to see where this concept goes. Bionic Woman: Intresting. Plus, I saw this with my Mom & she said she'd watch the show, too. So, there's crossover appeal (She found Heroes too confusing). Now, I didn't get to see all the premieres from this week that I wanted to see (Training!) but the Fall roll out is not over with so I'll keep you posted.

Comics:
- DC Comics: Now I don't read Teen Titans very offen but there is one thing from the book that I do like & is the reason why I picked up both Issues 50 & 51: The Titans of Tomorrow (Future, some what evil versions of the team). The group is seen briefly in 50 & 51 starts off the storyline with them. Another I picked up 50 was it was "Extra-Sized" as it was milestone issue & had a who's who of past & present Titans creators on the book. I like the characterization of Black Canary from All-Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder & I don't know why. The characterization of Batman here: not so much. Speaking of Batman, Batman #669 is the last part in the "Club of Hero" story arc, intresting art, an intresting way of laying thing out & a good mystery. The next arc is the retunr of Ra's Al Ghul, which I may check out. I picked up 2 collected editions of books by DC, One I was planning on buying. The other I found & just couldn't pass up. First was 52, volume three, we are coming to the end of the missing year. The only thing that is throwing me off is the front cover, the artist has used 2 famous faces as referance for people. Kevin Spacey for Lex Luthor (ok, he played him in the movie) & Zack Braff for Dr. Magnus (What?). The other is Doctor 13: Architecture & Morality, I book I didn't see when it first came out but man, this book rocks on so many levels I'm not sure I can fully explain it all. I'll tell you one thing: the book has a Talking, Nazi Gorilla. What more could you want?

- Marvel Comics: Quasar #3 has a really nice cover. It's Issue 30 of Captian America & he's still dead. One of the character by products of Marvel's Civil War was Penance, formally known as Speedball. He now has his own 5 part miniseries. Pick it up, part 1 is good.

- Other Comics: From the pages of their Free Comic Book Day offering comes The Umbrella Academy. It's written by Gerard Way, lead singer of the Band My Chemical Romance but don't let that fact stop you from picking up: It's Good! It's Weird! It's Different! This is a 6 part Miniseries.

Other: Last time I wrote that I bought a Dr. Zoidberg Figure, well I bought another Doctor Figure. It wasn't just any Doctor, but The Doctor (or Doctor Who for you not in the know). Intresting sidenote: while I was buying I was told that I was buying the only Doctor Figure is the whole shipment. The only downside are his glasses (which he doesn't wear all that offen in the show) are glued to the figure's face.

That's all I have for now. With the way I'm going, I'll be back in around 2 weeks to share with more!

-Brian

This is Entry 11: Quick Hits #2

It's been 16 days & no new Blog posts from me. I hope my non existing reading (which I have named Jim) haven't deserted me for other things to waste their time on. :( Why no posts? Everytime I think about making one I either don't have something to post or I'm saving stuff some I have enough to post or I guess don't feel like it. Take your pick. I think the post will all be quickhitted.

TV: Torchwood: Good, much like what it is spun off from. Tim Gunn's Guide to Style: Good, reminds me kind of TLC's What Not to Wear but slightly classer. Mr. Gunn is in top form & doing everything we've come to love him for. More reviews (& maybe longer ones' too) as when I see more shows. The Fall season starts of this coming week with the major push next week (Most of what I want to see starts on the 24th going forword).

Comic Books: Reading Avengers: The Initiative & New Warriors nicely book end each other. I wish Mighty Avengers & Runaways came out more offen. Hero For Hire #13 has a weird cover, I hope they don't have more like this. I like the book. Super-Villians Team-Up: Modok's 11 is a really fun read. I picked up The Last Fantastic Four Story & thought "Again?" since Fantastic Four: The End was out like late last year. But, the upside of this book is it's only 1 book & not 6 like FF:TE. Plus, Stan Lee wrote it! (The story it's self is ok, sort of lack luster). From the Marvel Back Issue Bins: Marvel Premiere #57, what so special about this book? It's the 1st & maybe only American comic book appearance of Doctor Who (Tom Baker version). It's a pretty good read (it is a 2 part story so I don't have the 2nd half). The cover was done by Walt Simonson & the enterior art by Dave Gibbons. There are also some nice backup features in the issue, too. With Justice Society of America #9 starts the Kingdom Come tied in storyline, not sure if I like the idea but I'll have to wait until it's over to give my say. Buffy the Vampire Slayer #6 starts off the storyline featuring Faith, one of my Favorite characters from the series.

Other: I bought a Dr. Zoidberg (from Futurama) Action figure. Well, there are many point of articulation so I doub he'll be doing much action. He's currently standing on one of my bookcases with a few other figures. I might post a Pic of him (that might get me to post that pick of the Browies I made some time back).

Well, I think that's about it. I probably have some news later on in the week. Stay Tuned!

This is Entry 9: Being Domestic & Other Things.

Yesterday, for no other reason then & I wanted to: I made a Brownies. I have a pic of the finished production on my camera that I'll upload once I down load from my Camera.

There is a new episode of Fresh Ink upon iTunes, check it out.

Yeah, I don't have much to say at the moment. I'll more later on.

-Brian

This is Entry 8: Brian on The Aisle

I don't get out to the Movie very offen but yesterday I went. There is a theater a few block from where I live. Upside: All films 3 bucks. Downside (sort of): They don't play current films, you have to wait few months for those to come there. But hey, a film in a theater for 3 bucks? Who can beat that!

What I saw was & will review is: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

I saw the first film & thought it was an ok film but they screwed up one thing (DOOM!). What did they screw up this time? If it was anything it was Galacticus or big menacing space cloud. Now I'm sure most people would have wanted The big G to be a person but I can kind of see the thinking behind the cloud thing (I'm not as angry as I was with them screwing up ol' Doc Doom). Speaking of Vic: They partly redeemed themselves with his appearance in this film. He was closer to his comic book roots in this film (I was kind of happy). The more Marvel Films I see they more they start to look the same. The "Black Forest, Germany" looked alot like where Stryker's compound was from X2 or where The Brotherhood camped out in X3. The government facility used looked alot like Strykers' place, too. I'd I'll let it slide. I liked what they did with The Surfer, he got some respect & seemed close to his comic book roots (not like big G). I wouldn't mind seeing him again (seeing what played during the closing credits: I might). Also, what was with Jessica Alba? Something just looked off about her. I'm not sure what it was.

What FF3 should be (because I'm almost sure there will be one)? The team goes to the Negative Zone. I doubt that will happen but it would be cool if it did.

So, for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer I give it 3 cosmically irradiated stars out of 5. It wasn't the greatest film ever but wasn't the worst either. It had some action, some humorous parts. It keep me entertained for the hour & half. But, that's what I went for.

On a related note: The extended edition of the first film is pretty good. The first disc (The disc with the movie) is ok. But the second disc (The one with the extras) are where it really shined. I'd just get it just for that & have an ok movie that comes with it as a bonus.

Thanks, Jim! Until next time.

-Brian

This is Entry 7: Comic Book Cavalcade!

Or: The Comic Book Cavalcade!

There's less to talk about this time. Only one weeks worth of stuff & not 2 or 3 weeks worth of stuff. We got a 2 things from DC & 3 from Marvel, with a magazine thrown in for good measure.

First up: DC.

Superman #666. Yes, you read that right. it's issue 666 & guess what Superman man fights in the issue? Yes, The Devil. Well, not The Devil. But, a Kryptonian counterpart (apparently their was a few devils in the Kryptonian afterlife & went the planet went bye bye: Only one survived & some also made it's way to Earth). There is a wacked out "dream" sequence in the issue (Lots o' Death).

On a somewhat related note, Batman pasted the 666 issue resecent but didn't do a similar Devil inspired issue. The next I'll be commenting on is Batman #668, the second part to the Clud of Heroes story (I talk about part 1 a few posts down the blog). It's starts off the issue with some cool retro styled art. Through out the issue there are some interesting usasge of panels.

Next: Marvel.

Issue 2 of Starlord, 1 of the 4 prologue series to Annihilation: Conquest (I talk about one of the other books, Quasar, a few posts down the blog). The "Dirty Dozen in Space" continue on their mission. One memeber kicks the bucekt, pushes up daises, bites the bullet, dies. One appears to sacrafices themself but I'm not sure if they do. Plus, what's not no to like with a book who has a talking, gun toting Racoon?

I picked up 2 books by Jeff Parker: Mystic Arcana: Scarlet Witch & X-Men: First Class. The Scarlet Witch book is part of 4 issue miniseries "exploring the four corners of magic in the Marvel Universe" (according to the book). It's got this cool intro paragraph (I'd type it out here, but it's really long & I'm lazy). The book was an intresting look at a prepowers Wanda. I haven't picked up the other books (which focus of Magik & the Black Knight) but I might. The last book focus' on Sister Grimm (from Runaways) which I might pick up or at least look at. The X-Men is a reworking of their early days, which I doubt are cannon. But, it's nice book. It has some humor that I liked & the backup story was cute.

A Comics related Magazine called Comic Foundry, I picked up the 1st issue partly because they have an interview with Kristen Bell in it. But, I'm always open to trying something new. My verdict is: Good. I'd pick up Issue 2. The magazine isn't about Comics directly but about stuff around comics (The people who make them, people who read them, clothes, trends, etc.). It is in black & white. Tbe lay out reminded me part of Entertainment Weekly which isn't bad. Their Webiste is: comicfoundry.com

One last time: The bag I brought all my stuff home in had an Ad for the BBC America rebroadcast of the Doctor Who spin-off: Torchwood (Captain Jack looked quite dashing). The series premires September 9th, here states side.

Well, I think that will be all for now. Until next time, my non existant readers (I think I call you Jim): Stay Cool!
