Review: First Wave #1
(With apologies to Bunim/Murray) This is the story of eleven characters…picked to live in a new universe… work together and have their adventures penned… to find out what happens… when characters stop living in their own universe… and start something completely different in… First Wave.
DC’s Blackest Night and Marvel’s Siege may be the big events everyone is waiting for, but for this comic fan, the one series I’ve been waiting months for has been First Wave and the return of pulp and golden age heroes to the pages of comics. While I enjoyed the Batman/Doc Savage Special, which served as an introduction to this whole new world, there were some troubling spots. Now, four months later, readers finally get a peek at this brave new world. Does it have the same problems as before, or has DC truly created a new universe that works?
DVD Review: Batman – 20 years later
Have you ever danced with The Devil by the pale moonlight?
I never have, but I did have to square-dance with the smelly girl once in elementary school. That’s the best way I can introduce Tim Burton’s Batman, a movie that truly needs no introduction. It’s a classic piece of action and “superhero†genre filmmaking, a staple in any comics or movie lover’s collection, and, as I have found, a difficult flick to review completely without favorable bias. But I braved through my fanboy tendencies best I could, all for you, the reader. Without further adieu, let’s get to it.
Beware of the Batman!
Please? Anyone? You, little girl, can you pretend to be a little scared, or at least impressed you’re seeing The Batman during the daytime? No, these are not rubber leggin’s and street shoes.
DC Comics Sneak Peek: First Wave #1
DC has released a sneak peek of First Wave #1, and after seeing the opening sequence, I once again exclaim “I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS!”
Batman still kicks Superman’s Ass
Earlier this week, we brought you the news that a copy of Action Comics #1 sold in a private sale for $1,000,000. At the time that was the most ever paid for a comic book. But that’s old news, as Heritage Auction Galleries announced that its copy of Detective Comics #27 (CGC VF 8.0), just sold for $1,075,500.
Read that again and say it with me… DAMN!
It’s worth noting that the other copy to receive the 8.0 certification had “off-white” pages (one notch lower on the scale than the copy offered here). That copy sold for $278,189 on 10/26/2001 in an auction held by Mastronet Inc.
It was expected that this copy was going to sell for $500,000, but perhaps the Action Comics sale pushed this comic over the top. What’s that about a poor economy, again?
Actor Andrew Koenig’s body found
Sad news for the pop culture fans out there. Actor Andrew Koenig, who had missing since February 14, 2010, was found dead in Vancouver, British Columbia. Koenig had been diagnosed with depression, and had stopped taking his medication, according to CNN. The family stated that the actor took his own life. He was 41 years old.
Koening is best known as Boner from the 1980s television series Growing Pains, but had also appeared in several episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, following in his father’s footsteps as a Star Trek actor. For those who have seen the fan film, Batman: Dead End, Andrew Koenig made an appearance as the twisted Joker, who was offed by one of the Aliens.
Walter Koenig, Andrew’s father, and Star Trek’s Pavel Chekov, asked that anyone who is contemplating suicide talk with someone before committing the final act.
“If you’re one of those people who can’t handle it anymore, you know, if you can learn anything from this, there are people out there who really care,” he said. “You may not think so and ultimately it may not be enough, but there are people who really care.”
Sad news indeed, and I would echo the elder Koenig in regards to contacting a help line or a friend if you are going through a dark time.
