End of the world and time travel movies are fascinating because, unless they’re really horrible, they look OK from one angle or the other. There is also the steampunk element that make them visually fun, when done right. Oblivion is an end the world movie that’s been compared to a live action version of WALLE. Continue reading Watching Oblivion is not the end of the world-you’ll really like it.
Category: All Age Comic Books
This is a look at the new all age comics that are OK for young readers. Some of these comics are also great for any reader :) We’ll review some of them and provide as thorough a list of all the new titles coming out that Wednesday.
G.I. Joe: Cobra-Oktober Guard is enjoyable noir Spy
This month is turning into all Joe all the time. What with the movie (a sequel has already been green lit!) and me reading G.I. Joe: Cobra-Oktober Guard I’m all but casting my left hand into a kung fu grip. Oktober Guard is a different kind of Joe graphic novel, which is a great thing, especially after my last experience. Continue reading G.I. Joe: Cobra-Oktober Guard is enjoyable noir Spy
Marvel is giving away 700 free digital comics
Alternate headline: Dad blogger calls in sick for a couple of days. Marvel Comics is giving away 700 digital copies of a wide variety of their comics. That’s a lot of digital comics. Some of them are from the new MARVEL NOW! Reboots, while some of the comics are first issues or classic stories from the 90’s or 00’s. Continue reading Marvel is giving away 700 free digital comics
The Danger Girl/G.I. Joe crossover is simple, OK comic middle ground
Back in the day I used to read Danger Girl, when it came out. It was one of those comics that issued an issue every month or so, semi interesting bad guys and half naked women on every page. Don’t get me wrong, I do love beautiful women, but there is just something about Danger Girl that reminds me of those lyrics from Barenaked Ladies. Continue reading The Danger Girl/G.I. Joe crossover is simple, OK comic middle ground
Red She-Hulk 62 is good, consistent, story oriented Hulk
I’ve been reading Hulk for a couple of years now. At first he was the regular green Hulk, then Thunderbolt Ross (Red Hulk) and now Red She-Hulk. The good part, from a story telling perspective is that all of them have taken place in the same book. There was no forced reboot or taking the issues back to #1, they just changed the name of the book to Red She-Hulk. Continue reading Red She-Hulk 62 is good, consistent, story oriented Hulk
Star Trek: TNG/Doctor Who Assimilation 2, Vol 2 is logical and fun
I am a novice geek in that there a couple touchstone franchises I never got into. I was a casual Star Trek fan (because, let’s face it Star Wars is overall better) and the only Doctor Who I had ever seen were episodes that aired on PBS in the mid 70’s. All I remembered of that were bad special effects and a tall man with a big hat a poofy hair. Continue reading Star Trek: TNG/Doctor Who Assimilation 2, Vol 2 is logical and fun
Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 2, Volume 3 is great, but too short
A couple of months ago we took a look at Iron Man Armored Adventure. Now we’re taking a look at volume 3 from season 2 and it’s as good as volume 1. The animation is crisp, has lots of fast action and perfect for the entire family. Simply Google the title and you’ll find more than a couple of 5 year old boys singing the theme song. Continue reading Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 2, Volume 3 is great, but too short
The Superior Spider Man #1 review: vengeful and fresh
So if you haven’t checked in on your friendly neighborhood wall crawler here’s what’s new. In the epic (and overpriced) issue of Amazing Spider Man 700, Doctor Octopus died. This would normally be no big deal, but Doc Oct had created a device that switched Peter Parker’s mind with his own, so when our favorite villain with a bowl cut died, it was actually Peter Parker’s mind.
