My apologies for not being around but this week. We are going to talk millar, have 3 movie reviews, and have multiple pre-post Batman blogs. #1 MARVEL 1985 #3(OF 6) - Love this series Millar is really making me happy. I will talk about him more this week. #2 FINAL CRISIS ROGUE'S REVENGE #1(OF 3) - Johns is god.  #3 MIGHTY AVENGERS #16 - meh. #4 TRINITY #7 - This series is working for me even the Tarot back ups.  #5 TINY TITANS #6 - This series is perfect for toilet reading. #6 JOKER'S ASYLUM POISON IVY #1 - I'm not loving these Joker Asylum as much as I should.  #7 DC WILDSTORM DREAMWAR #4 (OF 6) -  This is  a pretty dumb series I think I'm dropping it,  #8 TANGENT SUPERMAN'S REIGN #5( OF 12) - This series is really poorly planned. This series should be an event. You shouldn't schedule this at the same time as Final Crisis when is this supposed to be happening? moment of weekness I'm hyped about The Dark ...

I need to spend less money on comics. For real. #1 BOOSTER GOLD #1,000,000 - I gave my brother Sam the issues up to this one and he has no knowledge of DC history and he loved it. Thats how good this series is.  #2 GREEN ARROW BLACK CANARY #10 - I like the book but I want this story line to wrap up. So we can see some Deathstorke or some of Green Arrow's new married status quo. #3 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #17 - Wow It's been 17 issues. Alot has happened yet nothing has happened. Wierd.  #4 FINAL CRISIS REQUIEM #1 - Morrison is sucking hard. The Martian still hasn't gotten his due and this cover is crap.  #5 SECRET INVASION #4 - This series is sucking.  #6 TRINITY #6 - I'm really negative. I stille haven't read issue 4 or 5 but I still like this book. I had no clue it would be better than Final Crisis.  # 7 ACTION COMICS #867 -Johns is the best. Last issue was fantastic jump on this book.  #8 CAPTAIN AMERICA WHITE #0 - Heard good things about this.  #9 HUNTRESS YEA...

erislaughs and stephen watches: chapter 4

Sorry for posting so many you-tubey filled posts, but I enjoy the format. Do you like it or not? Avengers Invaders - Namor is a bit dreamy. I like timetravel. It's to much to add on to Secret Invasion with out calling it a crisis. Detective Comics - Haven't read it. I might start grabbing it if the Dark Knight throws me into a bout of batmadness.  Catwoman, The Goon, Captain Britain, Tank Girl, Invincible Iron Man, Thor, - Doesn't catch my eye. Secret Invasion - Meh, Fury wasn't that bad ass. I like your Skrull theory.   Young X-men - Crappy indeed.  Cookiness- Genius observation. I know what you mean. I feel more familiar with the DCU so I enjoy the characters and archetypes more than marvel which to me seems like it's cooky in a 90's way as opposed to a silver age way like the current dcu. Hulk: Raging Thunder, Young Avengers, red Hulk, Cable - is of no interest to me. X-force - How do you like this book? It's so crappy and dumb. I hate the art! Abe Sapien...

GO TEAM VENTURE! AND TEAM AMERICA!!!

Venture Bros. is quite frankly the best show on TV this summer. The third season is breaking ground and sculpting the Venture-verse in new and exciting ways. Arch-villainy has never been more cool and fun than the way it's depicted on the show. If you don't know, you can watch all the new episodes in their entirety right here on the internets. This fourth of July let's celebrate with the most American show ever made in Korea. THE VENTURE BROS!!! Also the guy who puts Samson on Venture duty is Sgt. Hatred.  GENIUS!

This Y-lines day is extra special becuase tommorow is our Independence Day. The perfect day to tell our monkeys that we love them. If you have your own favorite Y-moment you want me to put up I will take requests.

I wasn't going to check out Hellcat but Pulp Secret sold me on it. When I go to get my comics tomorrow I'll grab it.  Also I'm due to grab Planet Hulk . The Hulk movie piqued my interest enough and I want to see the prologue to World War Hulk. I hope Avengers looks like this. I'm also thinking about grabbing Noble Causes. Faerber is right up their with Johns as far as top writers in comics currently. I'm currently reading Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One.  My brother lent them to me and he's reading Wanted which he has got me interested in. I'll probably polish off Wanted by the end of the month. Haven't checked out the movie yet, not that interested.  It's sad to say because Hellboy is one of my top ten favorite movies, that I am now more looking forward to The Dark Knight than Hellboy 2: The Golden Army .  I'm in a Batman mood. I've been watching the  Batman the Animated Serie s and  Justice League episodes.    

top Ten Superhero casting

Image
The Movie Blog has the Top Ten best super hero movie casting. I agree with all their pics and would like to add my own.  10. The Riddler - Jim Carey in Batman Forever was stupendous he brought a lot of energy and insanity to the role. If his plot was more realistic and less sci-fi would make Carey's performance perfect. 9. Poison Ivy - She is the sole bright spot in Batman and Robin she was sexy, alluring, and seductive. She acts like a bond girl and her transformation form nerdy to sultry is perfect.  She reminds me of Weird Science.  8. Howard Saint - John Travolta is one of our cheesiest actors but he was gold in The Punisher. As an audience memebr he comes off as such an a-hole that you're happy to see him destory his family and business. Also his death is one of the coolest action movie deaths ever. 7.  Doc Ock - Alfred Molina gives a layered and menacing performance as the bad doctor. The audience can buy him as the mourning crazy h...

Huge week my wallet  mourns. #1 ALL NEW ATOM #25 - This book is ending and it's a shame because this character is great. I hope he gets a JLA roster spot. #2 BLUE BEETLE #28 - I hope this book does not go the way the Atom does this character is gold if someone who reads this blog isn't reading this comic you should be a shamed and you're really missing out. #3 DYNAMO 5 #14 - I love this book. It's original and fun. I highly recommend it for all readers. #4 AVENGERS INVADERS #3(OF 12) - I like the premise of this issue and can't wait to see which Namor wins my money os on the young one.  #5 WAR THAT TIME FORGOT #3(OF 12) - I like this book it has me a little confused but it feels like lost but more sci-fi. #6 TRINITY #5 - They're not disappointing. #7 BATMAN #678 RIP - I don't understand what's happening.  #8 STAR TREK YEAR FOUR ENTERPRISE EXPERIMENT #3 - I like this comic the art is great and the story is sol...
