Last time we visited the world of Irredeemable, we reviewed the trade paperback which collected the first four issues of this series. The trade followed that world’s greatest hero, The Plutonian, after he has decided that he has had enough of what he sees as an ungrateful world. Since then, there have been some developments in the Irredeemable world, and our beleaguered heroes still do not seem to have much hope.
It seems like just a few days ago that I was surprised in my local comic shop by the first issue of DC Comics Red Tornado mini-series. At the time, I was pleased with the pacing that the issue had and the cinematic feel that the creative team had accomplished. With this second issue, I eagerly awaited more of the same. Man, I hate it when you get let down so hard.
After having his life destroyed by his worst enemies and joining forces with one of the most evil organizations in the Marvel Universe, Daredevil leaves his old life behind and steps forth in a dangerous new direction. Has he taken on to much, or is the devil in the details?
The Boom Kids division of Boom Studios continues its use of the Disney characters in yet another series which features the classic Disney crew. This time, they aren’t in wizard uniforms, they are in super hero union suits as Donald Duck and friends take off in Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #699!
Once again, we travel to the recesses of my imagination and wonder, what if they where to let me make a movie with the comic characters of my choice? Yes, I to can hear Hollywood giving a collective GASP of horror! Well, this time, my choice is BLACK LIGHTNING!
Dynamite Entertainment continues its thrilling series introducing the new generation of villains into the Project Superpowers Universe. Last time, we met Bloodlust, a femme fatal with a thirst for the Green Lama’s blood. This time we meet The Revolutionary, and he’s not exactly waving the flag in support.
The spaghetti western is solid cinematic genre that carries with it a particular set of defining elements. Named spaghetti westerns because they where shot primarily in the southern region of Spain, they had a many defining elements, not the least of which where stories that featured the Mexican Revolution or banditos. One of the most famous spaghetti westerns is Sergio Leone’s “Man with No Name” trilogy which stared Clint Eastwood. Dynamite Entertainment has undertaken the formidable task of continuing the adventures of the man with no name. Do Chuck Dixon and his posse pull off the job, or did their…
Mickey Mouse is one of those timeless characters that everyone knows. From his first appearance in the Steamboat Willie short back in 1928, he has proven time and time again that he’s a hard mouse to keep down. While his contemporaries may have faded like the ink they where drawn in, Mickey Mouse has gained more popularity year after year. He is one of the few characters that can connect through almost any culture, and now he has come to Boom Studios. I got the chance to read Mickey Mouse and Friends #296, the first issue from Boom Kids division…
After reading the preview images that the good folks at Dynamite Entertainment sent Major Spoilers earlier this week, I could not help but take the opportunity to review the second installment in new series telling the early days of one of the most famous of Robert E. Howard’s villains, the man known as Thulsa Doom! More after the Jump!
The story may be one that you think you know well. Millionaire playboy industrialist Tony Stark is one of the smartest men on the planet, CEO of Stark International, and in times of need, the golden avenger Iron Man. You ask any comic book reader, even the most casual one, and they can all rattle off at least that much to you and probably still have much more to say besides. Currently, he is featured in several Marvel titles every month and has been a major player practically since the day he was introduced. He has been everything from the…
The heroes of the Red Circle march on as DC Comics’ second series based on the recently re-introduced Archie heroes debuts with The Web! The web originally debuted in issue #27 of Zip Comics back in 1942 as a college criminologist professor/mystery writer. His last appearance was in 1943’s Zip Comics #38. Twenty-plus years later, he re-appeared in Fly-Man #36. The character made several appearances during the Red Circle/Archie Adventures comics of the late 70’s/early 80’s and was completely transformed for the first DC revival as a hi-tech organization called The Web. Now, DC is trying again, this time bringing…
Moon Knight is one of those heroes that I have always been aware of, but never really got into. The majority of my exposure to him was back in the West Coast Avengers days and a few issues around the Atlantis Attacks event (does that show my age?) and my opinion of him then was so-so. He was another vigilante gadget guy, and he filled a small space in the series. I just wasn’t a fan. So I was rather surprised when I saw a new book titled Vengeance of the Moon Knight on my LCS shelves last week. I…
