Review: S.W.O.R.D. #1
Or – “Not To Be Confused With “H.A.L.B.E.R.D.”
Â
H.A.L.B.E.R.D., of course, is the Heuristic Algorithmic Lifeforms Built for Exploration and Rational Defenestration, a robot support group to try and stop them from throwing fleshy humans out of windows. I believe there’s an old expression about knowing being half the battle…
Review: Atomic Robo #3.2
The Doom that Came to Robo
So here we go with the second installment of the Shadow from Beyond Time story line. If you thought the first issue didn’t have enough of the fighty-fighty, and the laughy-laughy, then you’re going to be pleased as Punch (although without the murder and infanticide), as Robo and Charles Fort attempt to bring down the monster Lovecraft with a roadster and a couple of lightning guns.
Review: Army of Darkness #20
An American Chosen One in London
Ash is off to the Land of Fish and Chips in hopes of finding a fellow Chosen One, but ends up finding something else altogether. While the Evil Dead made it look like Ashley stumbled upon the Necronomicon, the connection between Chosen One and Book of Evil goes back much further than that, to a time when a band of heroes fought side by side to bring down the forces of evil. Sounds exciting doesn’t it?
X-Men First Class – The Movie?
You’ve already seen young Cyclops in the trailer to May’s Wolverine movie, and you may be seeing more of him in the near future (providing he doesn’t agree to appear in a DC Comics movie). In an interview with Fox Movie Channel, franchise producer Lauren Shuler did say the X-Men: First Class movie was on the way and would be a flashback flick featuring the young versions of the mutants we’ve all come to love.
It is the first class of Xavier’s school, way back when, so it’s young Scott, young Jean, young Beast and that’ll be really fun… I think (the plan) is to follow some of the characters into their own stories, and weave them back into the X-Men world. And hopefully First Class will become its own franchise and we can follow them as they grow up.
While it may be cool to hear news about First Class, I’m wondering why everyone is steering away from the X-Men Origins: Magneto movie? And will the First Class follow the comic book series, or will this be the relaunch of the X-Men brand as a darker and edgier tale ala Iron Man the the Hulk? Fox is already trying to tweak the next Fantastic Four movie along those lines, so maybe the company is trying to get in line with Marvel Studios to attract more viewers.

Review: Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom #4
Superman injured? Furies attacking? A loss in cup size? It can only mean one thing; the next installment of DC’s Maelstrom issue has arrived and needs reviewing.
Marvel Sneak Peek: Uncanny X-Men #504
Poor, poor Scott Summers. The dude is always being plagued by his dead loved ones returning from the grave to haunt the laser shooting hero. The newest return-from-the-grave-to-torment-you villain? How about the Goblin Queen (a.k.a. Madelyne Pryor)? Her return and much more in the upcoming Uncanny X-Men #504.
It’s written by fan favorites Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction, and with art by Terry Dodson, there’s a very good chance there’s greatness inside. And on the outside too! Check out that awesome cover! I smell poster in the works!
