the read pile - 6/04/08

Okay so I'm pissed some how there were problems with Young X-men #2. I gotta think this over.

#1 KICK ASS #3 - It's felt like an eternity since I read issue 2 I wish they'd stop turning this into a movie and start turning it into a comic.

#2 TRINITY #1 - Terrible cover, it looks like fan art. 


#3 SECRET INVASION #3(OF 8) - Please let something cool happen, that will advance the plot in a relevant way. 

#4 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #16 - The twist in the last issue really reinvigorated this book for me. I have faith in Gog, I mean Geoff.



#5 ALL NEW ATOM #24 - Remender's got nards...nuff' said.

#6 AVENGERS INVADERS #2(OF 12) - Love the cover. Last issue was just okay though, let's see if we can get some plot this issue.



#7 WAR THAT TIME FORGOT #2 - I liked the first issue although it left me a little confused.

#8 BATMAN DEATH MASK #3(OF 4) - I am loving this. I hope some other characters get the same sort of manga treatment. I could see the Blue Beetle working well in this format.

#9 JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #46 - Green Lanterns all up in the cover. I'm hyped.



#10 HOUSE OF MYSTERY #2 - The first issue was crazy and disgusting. If I understand this issue I might be in it for the long haul but I suspect this book is to smart for me.

#11 JONAH HEX #32 - Meh.

#12 ULTIMATE ORIGINS #1(OF 5) - The ads totally sold me on this. I've never read an Ultimate book and am not a big fan of the universe as an outsider, but I'll give this the old college try.

#13 TOR #2(OF 6) - I liked the first issue it was wierd but this book maybe to dark and contemplative for me.

#14 YOUNG X-MEN #2-3 - I don't know what's going on. I'll give you more info when I have the situation under control.

#15 MARVEL SPOTLIGHT SECRET INVASION - These spotlights are a nice waste of money.


moment OF weakness

So everyone has been talking about Final Crisis and I've been reading them.

Week 4

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s

Count Down to the New Year By Syncing These Epic Movie Moments at Midnight

Because this is 2020, we know most of us will likely be spending our New Year's Eve at home--but that doesn't mean we can't do something special to celebrate the death of this foul year of our Lord. So here's a list of our favorite movies that sync up to ring in the new year with a big, epic moment and what time you should start watching them on New Year's Eve.  For the best results, we suggest starting the movie, pausing it, setting it to 0:00:00 and unpausing at the time suggested. We also suggest watching these movies on DVD or BluRay if possible because even the most insignificant streaming blips can throw off the timing completely. Cabin in the Woods - 10:30:07 PM If you want to ring in the new year with the Old Gods rising again, hit play on Drew Goddard's modern classic Cabin in the Woods at 10:30:07 PM (10:30 and 7 seconds) and at the stroke of midnight, the giant hand will come crashing down. Fight Club - 9:44:19 PM Perhaps you prefer a more anarchist a
