I finished watching Into Darkness earlier this evening and i was impressed. The movie was great and khan was an absolute badas$ and I recently read some reviews and one of the complaints was that Khan was "whitewashed", changed so that he looked white instead of his imprevious incarnations in film and since that was brought up , i too am a little bugged. the actor who played khan was a-ok in my opinion but should they have made his race match the previous incarnations? My explanation for his whitewashing was that his appearance was altered when he was found because some one like Khan might be recognized if he does not change. I sincerely hope if he does appear, they change his appearance to match his previous appearances in film but keep his voice. What do you think?
Finally picked up the two recent issues and i am very impressed. The art is fantastic and the story is compelling. I must say that writer James Robinson and artists Nicola and Trever Scott definately know what they are doing. Issue 11 was great and we got an interesting peek at Wotan's previous life but Issue 12 was better. After defeating Wotan, Jay Garrick suggests using his resources to get people to back up them up as a new team of wonders which would be awesome! What do you think? I recommend picking up these two issues. I cannot wait for the return of Batman.
I was just looking through the kickstarter website, in the comic book section of course, when i came across this potential diamond in the rough. In case you don't know, on Kickstarter.com, people tell about their projects, whether it be a comic book or a new book, and try to get people to pledge money and help further their project and usually, they will offer some incentives for people who pledge certain amounts. Anyway, this comic book project i came upon is a horror/fantasy comic book from the looks of it and its seems pretty good. it's called Sum of Light at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brianmccranie/the-sum-of-light-issue-1-a-lovecraft-inspired-horr?ref=tag.
Right now i am watching the 2011 prequel The Thing and i thought it would be an awesome + scary episode if there was a Doctor Who episode where Dr. Who has to confront, survive, and stop the Thing. If its too violent for tv, they can do a mini-series which would be equally awesome with the right writer and author. What do you think my fellow whovians? Would you like to see this crossover happen? If not, which crossover would you like to see happen between Dr. Who and [insert creature(s) name here]? Excelsior and Alonns-y!
As some of you know, it has been hinted that Peter Parker may regain control and i do not approve at all. Im have way too much fun with Doc Ock being behind the wheel and i love this new dark and gritty spider-man. I do approve peter parker getting control of his body...3-4 years from now. I want this to be a long term change and i want the transition between doc ock and peter parker to take several issue. I want the transition to be rough and tough. I would love it doc ock cloned spiderman and transferred his mind into the blank clone. that would be totally awesome. What do you think my fellow web-heads?
You are the mighty Pickler, scourge of Gotham City and bane of Batman! With your salt and slightly bitter fist, you threatened to crush Gotham as you began to raid the local IGA grocery stores! That was..until the evil Batman showed up and foiled your mightly and not-so-well-laid-out plans in less than 7 seconds. In Gothams puny court of law, you loudly proclaimed the foolishness of them detaining and that the only outcome of their refusal to let you go would be complete and total destruction at the hands of the superior Pickler! But the fools foolishly did not listen to you. They had the audacity to send you to Arkham Asylum! You were insane, they said, INSANE! But you have a plan! A great plan! Dave, the computer repair man at Arkham Asylum, you know him and he owes the mighty Pickler a favor! You will have him place you in a cell between two inmates of your choosing and when the time comes, you will recruit them as your henchman! Not even this white comfortable jacket they are placing you in can hold you back! They'll rue the day they dared to lock up the menacing Pickler! Who do you choose to be placed between? Too bad the JOKER isn't there today.
Comic books have gone a long way since they first appeared. Originally just a source of entertainment for kids and artists everywhere who worked for the comic book industry back then were almost embarrassed to admit they made a living drawing for comic books. I wonder how surprised the early pioneers of the comic book industry would be if they found a crystal ball and saw how popular comics books have become in the mainstream culture and when they saw that some consider comic books a entirely new medium of art that can be respected and even praised. Today, people who draw or write for comic books dont feel embarrassed like some of their predecessor may have been, they instead proudly show of their work. My personal favorite comic book artists and writers include Seth McFarlane, Alan Moore, and Stan Lee. What would be even more impressive to the writers and artists of old is that comic books like Maus have even won pulitzer prizes. Today, comic books are for both kids and adults and adults with kids inside them and are respected by both artists and writers.
You are a member of batman incorporated and you are at a funeral or memorial dedicated to Damian Wayne. At this funeral/memorial, you are allowed to play one piece of music, what do you play? I would play a modified version of jimi hendrix's "Little Wing". It would be purely instrumental up until the part before he plays the guitar solo where he says "fly on little wing".
