A fight... A fight that almost took John's life away, it was the day when the mob set him up to fight on a meta-human brawl (he didn't have his powers at that time When his rival did knockout him and John traveled for a short period the netherealm between life and death, a sudden thunderstorm made his way through the cage and gave a "Shock" To our newborn hero, and so the mystic thunderstorm bestowed John with the gift of Speed, Strength, Flight and the power to cast the wrath of the thundergods upon the evil ones...

Outta this world!
I'm 20 years old as I write this (well, I turned 20 at 12:01pm though), and let me tell you that I've never been more optimistic about life and the awesome things it has to offer; and i'm not up for that kinda philosophy and such things. Anyways I've been writing for four years solid and i'm up to the task of finding an artist to work with on an ongoing WebComic, or a strip. I'm willing to show-off my skills in story-telling and creation of interesting concepts, I.E. Sci-fi, Super-hero fiction, Tech-Noir and such. It's a hard thing to achieve, given the complexity of theWebComic field. That's becoming more plausible for new creative teams as their first step to break in to bigger publishers, which is great, really, really great. I'm probably not too much of something big, like the Big Two, but more of those independent publishers that will let me get away with as much I can and WILL NOT contain my boiling brain when it comes to create new and interesting concepts. Yet, I have to deal with college and I'll probably find a job to earn some money each month so I can buy things I like, anytime I like. My allowance isn't enough, not anymore.
I need a NetBook, badly. So I could desecrate blank, pure, virgin-like pages with my infamous writing (I uploaded a script sample in here, although I should've commited Bloggery instead of the old forum thread) when i'm sitting idly at college. Trust me, there's nothing as boring as thinking and not having something to pour your "eye-deers" on. You might say "well, try pencil and paper!", that I've tried and I've some notepads filled with plots and brand-new wicked and awesome ways to tell stories. All I need is a dang NetBook (not even a LapTop, really) with MS word and some space in the HD to keep those scripts and stories safe. After all, we've entered the awesome digital era where the internet is our best friend.
My time in the Vine has been great so far, I've finally hit the one thousand points mark and it's bigger prone, due to the fact that I haven't finished editing and reviewing alla' the good things I've read and enjoyed so much. And I've also met great people along the way: LadyL, Inferiorego (I've yet to see or watch one of his shows), the Vertigo Nuts Union (guys, I promise I'll edit and review some ****, we deserve it) and a lot other users due to the controversial but none the less amazing celebration of "Thy Big C00lo Day".
Long story short, ComicVine is the first on a few sites I'll storm and plaster a message accross. "TwilightThunder AKA Juan Carlos Romero just turned 20 and he feels larger as life and twice as awesome!" So this is it! Turn on music, wake the slumbering Legions of Boom! Raze places to the ground with the soundwave of a thousand guitars! Sing, laugh and enjoy! The hardcore party just started and now it's time for you to join me! Let's throw something so awesome, earth will call JLA, The Avengers and every-cape out there. Not to contain us, but to spread the message as well!
Ready to take off to the new frontier!

Covers are deceiftul pieces of artwork, and i don't have lots of money to waste in books with excellent covers, good interior art and a nice cover are a winning pair, but mostly i'd look at the story first (i like to go thoroughly with a comic books) And then buy the darn thing. I'm proud of that, i just buy books that have spectacular stories, great art and (sometimes) Excellent covers... A la 100 Bullets, Dave "the reverend" Johnson's Covers are AMAZING but when you open the book you'll not get dissapointed, Eduardo Risso does an excellent interior artwork as well.

I'm The Shadow-like type of hero, i'd roam the steets at night with a black cloak and a pair o' blazing guns blowing holes in the heads of criminals, i'd watch the sunrise though, and then... Go into my lair, for the night to come will be crime-ridden.

Sky City is in ruins, The Plutonian did it. After all, he just went rogue, right? This issue kicks-off with the story of one of his former allies (the girl you see in the cover), named Kaidan. And one of her (at least from my point of view) very first jobs as an enforcer of justice, which doesn't go too smoothly and she ends up being rescued by The Plutonian, who resembles a silver age Superman (by this point this shouldn't be a surprise) and demonstrates Waid's bond to the comic book genre and its most famous characters. It turns out that Kaidan's looking for the Plutonian's girlfriend (Lois Lane!), who spends her days smoking, alone and sank in sadness. Kaidan's out to get some answers about the Plutonian, she wants to know any kind of weakness he might have (if any, remember he's earth's mightiest being).
Then, we're bombarded by awesome flashback panels that pay serious homage to the big blue boy scout and his most famous exploits and deeds, such as dancing while in mid-air with the woman he loves and other super-deeds only a daredevil like him could perform without a sweat. Irredeemable's realm is a grim, devastated world with no hope. While reading, one can feel and smell fear from the characters, long ago they were heroes, now it all comes down to run away from their protector and leader, The Plutonian. Who couldn't handle the pressure...

I was totally hooked when I saw a plot summary on Marvel's official page. Didn't know this guy was a reinvention of an old character called Mighty Destroyer (who makes a cameo in the second issue). In addition, I didn't even know that Robert Kirkman, one of my favorite writers, was on board. Plus, the MAX thingy on the cover makes me wanna check it out immediatly. Keene Marlowe is your old warhorse dying hero who's trying to take all the f@#s that make this world a dangerous place for every single being he cares for. In fact, the story kick-starts with a great fight at the top floor of a building that's wide-screen like with explosions and violence, lotsa' it, as we see the mighty destroyer punchin' and kickin' his way through villains to get rid of the menaces that will threaten the planet once he's dead. The feelin' of Keene's health deteriorating is pretty solid in this book (although Cory Walker's art is cartoonish). The super-villain line-up is pretty much an over-the-top cast, that makes the book even better, for it's a love letter to crazy-ass villains of the Golden Age of comics.
Long story short, I'm in love with this limited series. And even though we all know that Marlowe's crazy crusade against nature is (literally) larger than life, he will take down as many bad-guys as he can when the clock reaches that fateful hour...

Zack Overkill is in trouble, yes he is. Ava Destruction, the girl that you can see in the cover is after him (she had a affair or something like that), apparently, she ran off the reservation she was in to look for him because one of the infamous Overkill Brothers is officially running amok on the streets beating thugs and rescuing girls in the dark, crooked alleys of the city! They even send a couple of whackos to execute a job that might shatter the current status quo! Thanks for those that had the initiative of giving credit to creators and freedom to actually let them do THEIR own stuff, and share it with the kind of people like me that gets easily bored of forced events and false promises of change in characters and continuity... Thanks, Icon Comics. Even though your books could be called expensive they're worth every single penny, for what lies within is totally AWESOME!

The upcoming game looks great, but I cannot deny the greatness of this book, it's just SO GOOD that I can't wait for the next issue to be released. The back story of the series (which is also the game's I think) is pretty interesting. The first pages being set in the Vietnam conflict with a unit of G.Is storming the jungle, the main character's name (at least in this story) is Peter Randall, a bad-ass lieutenant who is tough-as-nails and an enemy of the ever-dangerous communists, who is facing the threat of commies overseas enforcing freedom and democracy. Then, after some shooting, swearing and bad-ass sentences and war heroics take place, he's hired by a General to pull off a dangerous job classified BLACK that will take him and a special team to Hope, Idaho, where they're to retrieve something from a scientific complex. Then the next story picks up, this time, it's the story of a couple detectives that are tracking a serial killer that leaves no clues but horrible scenes behind him...
There are no signs of the main character of the game, hence the name of the book, but this is the first issue. Which means a cliffhanger will take place and you will be left wondering and making lotsa' blood drenched pieces fit on a big, bloody puzzle. The second issue most be on the way though and you wouldn't want to miss this awesome series published by WildStorm, written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray with artwork by Darick Robertson and Matt Jacobs.

So far, i've liked the take on the established Marvel characters in that noir, brooding setting. Being my current favorite Daredevil and his hell's kitchen exploits, Wolverine: Noir is slowly pushing his way to the top though. His back story is very interesting, trained by a crazy irishman who traveled to Japan and brought the art of the knives and swords with him, James Logan trained with him, learned the craft and nailed the very nature of the art so you could say that's his superpower (I think obe of the reasons that hooked me to this line is the fact that they're no supowers involved). Mariko Yashida makes a solid enough appearance (although there's much more to her character), she's your average, gorgeous but dangerous, Femme Fatale. Stuart Moore's script is really, really great. I hope these series to be well written, well drawn limited projects (Can't wait for their release in paperback format). The artwork by C.P Smith blows me away every panel, I've been following this man since he worked with Peter Milligan on The Programme.
So, that's it. I've been quite inactive regarding my review-activity. There are some interesing releases I'd like to write something about. See you.

I've been following this series for months. Not really for a decade, but the Minutemen and the whole cast of characters had been growing on me since the first issue. This is a great example of what a modern pulp epic should be. This book shall be remembered as one of the greatest (and longest) ongoing series of all-time. I knew that the ending would be something astounding, and the final twist of the plot was going to be something I wouldn't forget, at least not easily. I will really miss Cole, Victor, Loop, Jack, Lono, Milo, Wylie, Remi, Mr. Will Slaughter, Dizzy, Mr. Sheperd and Agent Phil Graves. All of them strangers when I started reading this thing... All of them became "my friends" as I started diggin' 100 Bullets. I will always recommend this series, and sometimes I couldn't possibly wait for my friends to ask me about the cool interior art or the covers when we were having a conversation about comics... Now that it ended I wouldn't stop recommending it. In fact. I'll do it even more.
And for those minutemen who weren't able to leave the battlefield or died during their service under Graves' command... I salute thee. You're my favorite anti-heroes ever.

I was really looking forward to read this series, it was SO WORTH the wait. Thank you, Mark Waid. Okay, so after i saw a sneak peek, like, 2 months ago i was hyped as hell. Now that i've read the very first issue i'll totally recommend it without a second thought. The artwork by Peter Krause is really great, it brings to life Waid's story to the letter. It tells the tragic story of earth's mightiest superhero, a guy called The Plutonian (pretty much a Superman-based character, given Waid's love for the man of steel) Who is now hell-bent on taking down each and everyone of his former partners. Why? It seems The Plutonian has wiped off the word "morals" from his vocabulary. Things that were taught back in his childhood are now twisted and questioned. His rage was a time bomb and it just ignited and it seems taking down his former allies is just the first step... So what makes a hero Irredeemable?

There's no wonder why this story arc became pretty famous after the Sin City movie premiered in 2005. Mickey Rourke portrayed Marv in a great way, a man who didn't stop his search for the men who killed Goldie, even in the face of impending doom. Some people complain about Frank Miller's artwork, which i love, because it helps to set the mood of the book. A noir epic of romance, death and redemption. I'm sure a lot of people has already heard about Miller's run on Sin City. Back in the 90s when he was in tip-top shape and did a lot of amazing stuff for Dark Horse Comics. The Hard goodbye, is one of those great series he wrote and did draw for'em in those olden days. Although it does have a pretty graphic violence and foul language we know Dark Horse has no boundaries when giving creative freedom to their attached creators, so check it out when you have the chance. I really recommend it.

I read this series after the movie came out and found what the past of Dwight was like. First of all, he's a great character. By far, one of the greatest in the Sin City Universe. He roams the streets of Basin City a broken man, taking pictures of sordid happenings in town. We get to see he's kind of sad because of a woman (women...) Named Ava. Who's a runaway girl that ended up living with a rich man in the outskirts of the city. Then Dwight meets her in a bar and they have a noir-esque conversation, Dwight loves her, yet, she bretrayed him. She tells him to forget about her because the man she's living with is a "big cheese" and has a bodyguard called "Manute" A giant, dark, strong-as f**k cranky guy. Marv is a guest star that is good friends with Dwight McCarthy and helps him pull his crazy plan off, he's going after Ava and he will stop at nothing.

The first Elseworlds ever. Brian Augustyn had wrote the script and (the one and only) Mike Mignola did an amazing work in the pencils, the tale is set in 1880, in the Victorian era where Jack The Ripper is srtiking terror in the hearts of the population. Bruce Wayne decides to go after the serial killer dressed as a giant bat, that looks as post-goth and dark as this issue gets... The panels are eye-candy, as mignola shows what he's capable of in the story that pretty much had set-up the basics of the "Elseworlds" Concept as we know it. The story is quite gritty and has serious amounts of pulp-esque elements on it, such as a crime-ridden city, vigilantism and an earth-shattering midnight setting... I'm sure there's a reprint of this, due to it's 20th anniversary just like Batman's Arkham Asylum, it DOES DESERVE a place in your collection if you're a fan of the Batman and Mike Mignola's artwork (which is weird, but none the less nice!) And for those of you out there who're not too fond of the Elseworlds concept i strongly recommend to pick up this story and read it as many times as you can, you'll be unable to keep your eyes away from it!
