Witchblade is Back!

2012-01-05T12:10:00.004+13:00

Finally! Witchblade #151 hit the stands today! I'll admit that it's probably been since Michael Turner's days that I've read this title, but something is new and fresh about this story. No longer is it a relic title from the 90s, but it once again has substance and solid artwork. As you may recall from long ago, Sara Pezinni worked for the NYPD and was the wielder of the mighty Witchblade. Well, time has passed and starting with #151 Sara moves to the streets of Chicago to kick some villainous ass. Also #151 kicks off a new writing (Tim Seely) and art (Diego Bernard) team. New writer Seeley takes good ol' Sara Pezinni and doesn't try to make her act younger than she is. She still looks hot, but she's no 21 year-old anymore. She's gone through 150 issues of battles and her character's dialogue shows that she's been a tough girl for quite some time. She even briefly lets loose the f-bomb, which is something that would never had been allowed to be printed back in the 90s. Diego Bernard pencils and Fred Benes (Ed Benes' brother) inks this exciting new issue. The first 3 pages of the book consisted of artwork from another artist for some giant Top Cow Productions crossover focusing on The Darkness, which was honestly confusing. But once we jumped over that nonsense, the real story began and the artwork kicked into high gear. Rumors are that Bernard and Benes are only signed on for a short term at this point. Personally I would like this art team to stay on for the long term because I haven't wanted to buy this book for its style of art in a very long time. So if you come across Witchblade again, it's definitely worth jumping on board this book. Many people had given up on this title for a good reason, but you should make sure to tell your "comic book guy" to start ordering some extra copies of this book so other people can enjoy it too.

2008-10-04T09:38:00.004+12:00

Here's episode 2 to the original X-Men animated series. It's a continuation of the Night of the Sentinels story from the previous episode. Episode 1 is already up. The character of Morph was created for the animated series and eventually was introduced into the comic book series. Nuff' said.

Spawn Episode 1 Season 1

2008-10-02T08:06:00.003+12:00

This is the first episode from Todd McFarlane's animated Spawn series. It's a more adult version of the comic book. Believe it or not, Todd is currently back at writing the Spawn comic book series. Even he seemed to forget that his creation still existed.
Todd was recently talking about a sequel to the original live action Spawn movie. He said that it would have to be a low budget film and that he pictured Spawn as a boogeyman kind of character in a new movie. Todd seems to like bringing up the thought of another movie every now and then, just so he can find someone to finance it. He could have partially financed it himself, a few years back, if he hadn't spent all his money on baseballs. If the Spawn comic book survives another 10 years, maybe we'll see another Spawn movie. There just isn't the audience that there once was.
I remember that when the book was really plummeting in sales, Todd would print these uncensored letters from fans at the end of every issue. They would swear at him and he would swear back. And he lost more readers. I wonder why.
I feel bad for Spawn artist Greg Capullo. He flawlessly took over for Todd as penciler and drew basically the next consecutive 80 issues. Capullo actually had a breakdown from working on Spawn and has only recently been able to sit down and pencil again.
Originally Spawn was a fun, edgy book. Spectacular artwork, a mystery about Al Simmons' origin, and crazy villains and supporting characters. Then it kept losing direction, becoming very depressing, until every issue seemed to be Spawn sitting on tree stump or dumpster and having maggots crawl out of his head. I think it represented Todd's brain rotting. Instead of lightening up the book, it kept getting darker by the issue. Al Simmons became a crabby, old man who didn't want to do anything heroic anymore. The last time I looked at an issue, I think all the pages were completely black. I could barely see the green glow from Spawn's eyes anymore. So enjoy this first episode from a time when Spawn was still fun and was at least king of the alleys.

The Day the Earth Stood Still Movie Trailer

2008-09-16T08:53:00.003+12:00

This doesn't seem to be a remake of the original classic "The Day the Earth Still" movie from 1951. It looks like an entirely different story. In the original, the aliens landed on Earth offering peace, only to be misunderstood. Now it looks like they've turned this into "Independence Day" with aliens intentionally destroying the planet. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of Predators jump out of the space ship in this new version. Totally ridiculous. I'm posting the new trailer and movie trailer from the original movie that was a breakthrough in science fiction movies.

These episodes were featured on the "Origin of Wolverine" dvd. Now if only they would start releasing these seasons on dvd. Practically every tv series in the world is out on dvd and Disney continues to horde the rights to this series. Damn you Disney. Captain Jack Sparrow should make you walk the plank. Nuff' said.

The Spirit #1 (1940)

2008-08-22T03:46:00.003+12:00

So there's this Frank Miller movie coming out this year called "The Spirit" that looks very much like the "Sin City" movie. But most people don't know who the Spirit is because he began as a comic strip hero in the newspapers back in the 1940s. I can happily say that the original adventures of the Spirit will be posted here on a weekly basis. Let's start off with the first 7 page story of the Spirit originally printed in newspapers back on June 2nd, 1940. It's titled "The Origin of the Spirit." DC Comics has recently revived the character in a comic book series, but let's see how it all began with the master Will Eisner in control. Enjoy!

Netflix Customer Service Stinks

2008-08-21T06:43:00.005+12:00

Has Netflix gotten too big to care anymore? Everyone has probably heard about the Netflix mailing glitch last week. It took them an extra couple days to ship out dvds in the US last week to customers. But tell me why they started shipping me dvds that they already shipped me earlier that week. They messed up my queue and relisted 3 more dvds in my queue that I already had in my possession. If I hadn't quickly deleted the next 3 choices, they would have sent me more dvds that they had previously mailed me. Thank you Netflix for wasting my time and my picks. Netflix doesn't believe in using e-mail for customer service. They want you to call them if you have any problems. Well that didn't work. When I called their number last weekend, I was given a message to hang up and call another number to pay $5.49 to talk to customer service. What the hell? I've used Netflix's customer service in the past, but leaving a message like that at their number is inexcusable. Netflix is a mostly reliable service, but things like this make me flip over to Blockbuster because I can always contact them through at least e-mail if there is an issue. Netflix will refund customers 15% of their next month's subscription because of the mailing glitch. But why the hell do I want to renew with them anytime soon after this mess? Blockbuster.com has practically the same service and you can even return dvds to the store in exchange for free rentals. I think I'll take my business there until Netflix wakes up. Iron Man will be released on dvd on September 30th. I'll be buying that one and not waiting for any service to ship it to me. Nuff' said.

I haven't heard much about this movie coming out in late August, but at least the special effects looks cool. These are probably the best parts of the movie anyway. Maybe Hollywood should consider making movie trailers and then asking people if they should spend anymore money completing a film.

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins - Leonard Nimoy

2008-08-14T04:32:00.003+12:00

Leonard Nimoy sings for a 60s music video?! This is too funny. With all the times that the crew of the Enterprise has traveled back in time, you would think that Mr. Spock would purposely destroy any evidence of this song or video existing. Leonard Nimoy sings about Biblo Baggins, the Hobbit in this music video. One of the few song's from Nimoy's short-lived singing career. At least all the women in the video think Nimoy is "groovy." Now imagine if they played this song during the first Lord of the Rings movie.

Anybody want some Hulk shoes?

2008-08-07T05:51:00.004+12:00

Marvel seems to be auctioning off props on EBay from this year's Incredible Hulk movie. This is a good item for Hulk fans. They're actually selling some of Liv Tyler's (Betty Ross) shoes from the film. Starting bid is $89.99 USD. Also, remember all those Hulk statues that they had at the movie theaters over the summer? If you have a pile of cash somewhere, you can take one of those home with you for only $3,100 USD. They ship the shoes, but if you want a statue it's for pickup only. You'll need practically a moving truck to haul that sucker. Or you could just throw Hulk in your convertible and ride around the neighborhood with him. There's one Hulk statue that's selling for $1,800 USD because he's missing his teeth. Hulk get smashed? Hulk needs dentures.

Incredible Hulk Panel at Comic Con

2008-08-07T05:32:00.004+12:00

Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, and other people like the director, discuss the Incredible Hulk movie at last year's San Diego Comic Con. Marvel should consider putting these Iron Man and Hulk Comic Con panels on their dvds. They are so much better and more candid than typical dvd interviews. It's also fun because you hear things about the movies that the actors would have normally forgotten by the time the movie hits theaters.

You probably knew it already, but there's a new Mummy movie out in theaters beginning August 1st. Now we can call it a trilogy. The new film looks totally different from the first two, although at least a couple of the old characters are still on board. Brendan Fraser goes to China? I guess that some terra cotta warriors come to life and create some chaos. Jet Li is also supposed to be a mummy or something.

Image comic artists in Wizard interview

2008-07-30T03:08:00.005+12:00

The original Image comics founders reunite for this June interview. Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri, Erik Larsen, Jim Valentino, Whilce Portacio and Rob- sorry I can't say the "L word." Everyone is there except Jim Lee. Damn, these guys look old now.

Note: I received a comment (believe it or not) today on this post. It was in Spanish so I really couldn't tell what it was about. Something about discriminating against somebody. Hmm. Was I discriminating against Rob? I won't say his last name that begins with an "L" because he's a jerk and he deserves as little publicity as possible. Saying his last name is like swearing. His artwork continues to get worse through the years (also drawing large breasts on male superheroes) and he left Jim Lee holding the bag when he screwed up "Heroes Reborn" with Marvel. So what is Rob trying to do now? Restart Youngblood for the one hundredth time. He'll be all worn out by issue 2, as usual. Also was I discriminating against old people? Hell no. Most of the comics on this blog were drawn or written by senior citizens. Not to say that the founders of Image are that old yet. Word of advice Jorge. Lighten up.

Missy Peregrym (Andi from tv's Reaper) was interviewed at this week's Chicago Wizard World comic book convention. See what she has to say about this first season phenomenon.

Spidey goes to Wizard World Chicago

2008-07-03T10:14:00.005+12:00

Wizard World Chicago may be over, but most of this video is run like a skit from Twisted Toyfare. Spider-Man waits in line with Iron Man to get into the convention.

Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC: Hulk and Batman

2008-06-27T13:39:00.003+12:00

After Iron Man and Batman went at it in a previous video, the Hulk and Batman discovered that they had a lot in common with past movie letdowns and failures. Batman & Robin anyone? You couldn't pay me enough to sit through that one.

Dawn: Three Tiers #2

Now he's the Incredible Hulk

2008-06-27T13:10:00.003+12:00

Here's a video with footage from the new Hulk movie. They also show footage from other films (Batman) or franchises that were rebooted. This new Hulk movie should have brought in a lot more people to the theater on opening weekend than the Ang Lee version, which they also show clips of in the video. I didn't realize how green and fake the Hulk looked in that one, until they showed him next to the new, refined version. I think that too many people were turned off by that other version that they haven't bothered to check this new fun movie out. It's story is even tied into the Iron Man movie, so you can't go wrong with it. Loved the Stan Lee cameo. Is it me or do his cameos keep getting better with every movie?

Daredevil v2 #2

2008-06-21T11:15:00.005+12:00

Daredevil v2 #2
At one time, it looked like Daredevil would hit issue #400. But then again, sales were really low for DD by the mid-90s and the book was struggling to survive. There hadn't been a really interesting Daredevil storyline since "Fall From Grace" when Matt Murdock was nearly killed and decided to wear a new costume. This is an issue from the Joe Quesada run that began with an issue #1. The Black Widow guest stars and Joe does a fine job curving her lines just right. J Scott Campbell provides the cover. I wonder if Marvel Studios can buy the rights to a Daredevil movie soon. It's been like forever since the Affleck/Garner version. That was a fun film, but it's time for a serious attempt to do Daredevil right.

Glory v1 #4

2008-06-21T11:12:00.002+12:00

Glory v1 #4
Mike Deodato continues penciling stories of Glory. It's been a while since I posted the previous issues, but they're still up.

Amazing Spider-Man #14

2008-06-21T10:24:00.003+12:00

Amazing Spider-Man #14
We do have the best comic book people in the world visiting this site. One of our regular visitors pointed out that the Hulk made his first appearance in the page of Amazing Spider-Man back in issue #14. I never relate the Hulk to this issue because it is far better known as the first appearance of the Green Goblin. It took 14 issues for GG to appear. It's kind of weird because the Goblin was the first villain to appear in a Spider-Man movie. It's funny that Doctor Octopus, the Vulture, the Sandman, the Lizard, Electro, and Mysterio had all appeared in the pages of Amazing before Stan and Steve created the Green Goblin. Now if only Marvel Studios could get back the rights to Spidey so they could make some great movie stories with these classic villains. Did Abomination die in the new Hulk movie? Of course not. Marvel isn't dumb. Abomination could always return in a sequel. Killing off villains like Doc Ock, the Green Goblin, and Venom is just plain stupid. Movie studios should be smacked for such blasphemy. Great villains make great heroes. There's nothing great about a villain who gets killed off after 90 minutes. Nuff' said.

Green Lantern v2 #1

2008-06-21T10:20:00.003+12:00

First issue of the Hal Jordan, Green Lantern series.

Incredible Hulk and Wolverine #1 (1st Wolverine)

2008-06-14T04:19:00.005+12:00

Incredible Hulk and Wolverine #1
This is actually a reprint of issues #180 and #181 of the Incredible Hulk. It's the storyline with the first appearance of Wolverine ever. While Wolverine makes a cameo in issue #180, he makes his first full appearance in #181. It's also the first fight between the Hulk and Wolvie. Wolverine's mask was redesigned when he made his first appearance as an X-Man in Giant Size X-Men #1. I'm off to see the Hulk movie! I'll probably go see multiple times. Enjoy!

Incredible Hulk #410

2008-06-14T04:05:00.003+12:00

Incredible Hulk #410
At this point in the Incredible Hulk series, Bruce Banner's personality had become that of the Hulk's. It was kind of cool because Banner could keep his reasoning and use his strength as the Hulk whenever he wanted to. And Betty didn't seem to mind that the Hulk was coming home for dinner. He wasn't smashing the furniture anymore. Gary Frank also provides some of the best artwork of his career during his run of the Hulk.

Incredible Hulk #367

2008-06-14T03:57:00.002+12:00

Incredible Hulk #367

Incredible Hulk #337
Will the Hulk join the X-Men (X-Factor) in battle or fight them? You never know. The big green guy has some major mood swings. It's the second part to this storyline, penciled by Todd McFarlane.

Incredible Hulk #336

2008-06-14T03:42:00.003+12:00

Incredible Hulk #336
The Hulk vs. the X-Men. X-Factor originally consisted of the first X-Men team: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman, and Angel. There were too many X-Men running around the pages of Uncanny X-Men back then, so Marvel decided to push the original X-Men team into the pages of X-Factor. So not only do you get to see the X-Men take on the Hulk in this issue, but Todd McFarlane pencils this issue too. This story is continued in the next issue!

Incredible Hulk #319

Another title that the Hulk could be seen in back in the early 60s was the Avengers. What happens when the Hulk and Sub-Mariner team up to take down the Avengers? Read to find out! Also speaking of the Avengers, Iron Man is supposed to make some kind of an appearance in the Incredible Hulk movie. As if you needed further motivation to go see it.

Exactly 100 issues after the Hulk first appeared in FF, he returned to do battle with the Thing. It's round two of the Hulk vs. the Thing. Nuff' said.
