Is It Wrong to Be Excited About the Incredible Hulk?

This clip’s got me all jazzed up for what has been, up until this point, a movie that really hasn’t interested me all that much. CGI still looks fake, but who cares?



Reviewing My Roommate’s Crappy Comics

As you can probably tell by my lack of posting on here lately, I haven’t had much to say about comic books. After Countdown to Final Crisis, which I dutifully reviewed all 51 issues of (more or less), I guess you could say I needed a little bit of a break. It seemed like a…



The Never-Ending Ending

What is the fascination with endings in comic books? It seems we just can’t get enough of them, and big comics companies just can’t stop giving them to us. Whether it’s the Ultimate X-Men or Y: The Last Man or the Final Crisis, it seems that endings are popping up around every corner, only, once…



Countdown to Final Crisis: One

How utterly fitting. In a series where absolutely nothing of importance happened over the course of fifty tedious issues, it is only fitting that the finale is similarly devoid of any points of interest. Still, the series accomplished what it set out to accomplish, I suppose. They killed all of the New Gods, and they…



Countdown to Final Crisis: Two

Sweet, merciful crap, it’s almost over. Let me ask you an old question: If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Now let me twist that question just a tad: If a direct Countdown tie-in features a major plot point months in advance to…



Countdown to Final Crisis: Three

There are three things I’ve learned in the past twenty-four hours. First, you can get across the border from Panama to Costa Rica with no outbound ticket documentation by giving the border guard a five dollar bill. Second, when a boat driver tells you he’s going to pick you up at a certain time, that’s…



Why Can’t Magic Make Sense?

Some twenty months after “Brave New World,” the Trials of Shazam mini-series has finally concluded, leaving in its wake a new status quo for the Marvel Family, repleat with name changes, costume changes, and even a few changes in the core members. Oh, and the source of their powers has kind of changed too, I…



Countdown to Final Crisis: Six

Everything that has been building up over the course of the counting down of the past ten months finally comes to a head in this issue, as the Great Disaster finally hits, devastating the entire universe, leaving millions dead, cities burning, and human-animal hybrids destroying whatever’s in their paths. And, let me tell you, for…



Countdown to Final Crisis: Seven

If the competition for the year’s worst cover were held today, friends, you’ve got your winner right there. An expressionless Kyle Rayner throws up the weakest Green Lantern force field ever made, as Superman cracks down on it with an angry left hand (though he looks more constipated than angry), Wonder Woman shatters it with…



Seven Reviews for Seven Brothers – 03/05/08

To start with, let me just say that the reason that title is so ridiculous is because, to be honest with you, I couldn’t think of anything good. I bought seven comic books this week, and I’m writing seven reviews of those comics. Happy? Overall, it was a fairly off week. Either that, or I’ve…
