Krypton Review S01 E01 “Pilot” #Krypton

Travis

Krypton is a new television series developed by David S. Goyer with Damian Kindler for SyFy. I first heard of David S. Goyer back in the late 90’s when he co-plotted “Starman” with James Robinson writer. I liked his work so much I continued reading the stories he wrote in JSA, but I lost track of him after that and did not realize he was the guy behind or in conjunction with several Movies and TV shows I liked. Some of his screenwriting works include the Blade trilogy, Christopher Nolan’s…

Travis

Reading through Marvel’s news and previews Marvel is publishing Hickman and weavers final issues of 2011 S.H.I.E.L.D. Although last month he did tweet he had not signed a deal with anyone, Marvel could use the win. He did finish the Scripts for 2011 S.H.I.E.L.D. so we will get see Dustin Weaver’s beautiful art that has been sitting on a shelf getting dusty in the Marvel’s space in the Disney Vault. But what does that mean? Is Hickman back it has been rumored that if he signs with Marvel whatever he…

X-Men – Jean’s back (again and again?!?)

Travis

Phoenix Resurrection: The Return Jean Grey and the Jean Grey comics are a great story. I have followed the Young Jean Grey story since her first arrival in the future and have enjoyed the recent ongoing series. Her book is a wild ride across the world, where she is dealing with a renewed threat of the Phoenix Force’s imminent return. I did struggle with this a bit because a couple years back in the AVX crossover story Hope Summers eviscerated the Phoenix Force… I guess since energy cannot be destroyed…

The Storms of Crait review

Travis

Tell me if you have heard this one before… Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewy walk onto a planet… some conflict happens, Luke has a discovery, Han and Chewie are Han and Chewie, and Princess Leia saves the day. “Star Wars – The Storms of Crait” follows the Star Wars fantasy drama that we are accustomed to in from the movies. In fact, it has quite the same feel as the Brian Woods Star Wars series he wrote for Dark Horse comics as Disney and Lucas penned their…

Astonishing X-Men Act 1: Life of X Reaction

Travis

Or How Marvel Secretly Brought Professor X Back to Life… !!SPOILER ALERT!! Okay, let me say what a great way to bring a character back to life and in doing so getting rid of my least favorite X-universe character, created by Grant Morrison, Fantomex. He first appeared in New X-Men #128 published August 2002. In my mind, he has been pretty much been a throwaway rogue character. He is a little too much Gambit and not quite enough Wolverine to keep me interested. However because he is a Human, Mutant/Sentinel…

Star Trek Discovery review Episode 11

Travis

In Godfather 3 fashion I wanted to title this review “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.” The difference from episode 10 to episode 11 is simply night and Day. This episode breaths life back into the whole series for me and gets me so incredibly pumped up for what is to come next. It should be noted that the show seems to have an excellent writers room and this episode is no exception. This episode was written by one the co-executive producers of the…

The Once and Future Captain America: A Secret Empire Hypothesis

Travis

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room first. In Marvel’s House of Ideas anything goes these days our good guys act like bad guys and our bad guys are now good guys. Sure, it can be an interesting plot device to make what we consider good and virtuous, evil and rank, because it humanizes our heroes. Deep down inside all of us, although we want the good guys to be moral and virtuous, we also sadistically want to see them fall. Personally, I don’t like this kind of story.…

Five Star review for All Star Batman

Travis

Scott Snyder pulls out all the stops in his new Batman book, All Star Batman. I am an enthusiastic fan of Scott Snyder (Batman, Witches) and Greg Capullo’s (Spawn, Batman) as a creative team. Their 4 year run of the Batman title is some of the best story telling I have ever read. Unlike most of the new 52 characters at DC Batman did not change much after Flashpoint. Scott continued to build on an already rich Batman mythos giving us the court owls, death of the family, year zero,…

New Avengers: Age Of Ultron Extended TV Spot Hits You Tube

Travis

Enjoy pure Avenger battle fun… Freaking amazing shot of the team at 0:23 seconds diving into battle.  This Trailer definitely puts for the supposition that Hawkeye is the one who is recruiting Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch Can’t wait to see how this ties into the Inhumans story in Agents of Shield.  For those of you out there not reading Marvel comics right now Marvel has decided Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are not the offspring of Magneto, but actually Inhumans.
