Action Comics #900 was a good issue the Lex Luthor story and the Doomsday tie in was very well done Paul Cornell is a good writer. I think it is obvious that DC Comics wants to make money so they are coming out with a second print. Release date is May 25 at comic stores. The fuss around the nine-page story by David Goyer in which Superman tells the American government that he’s going to renounce his citizenship so that his actions aren’t mistaken as an extension of US government…

I just reviewed the movie Thor and was impressed with the story and technical content. I watched in 3D while I always have problems getting the 3D glasses just right because of my prescription glasses the picture was sharp and very well done, quality 3D effects. The movie had a lot to say and the 2 hours was used well. Asgard was done beautifully, truly a place of the Gods. [Spoilers Ahead] The relationship between Jane Foster and Thor was very touching. It began with Thor as an arrogant castaway…

I found an article which adds to the debate of what DC did in it’s back up story by David Goyer. The section is written by Ed Gross at CBM: Mark Waid, Marc Guggenheim and Al Gough Weigh in on the American Citizenship “Controversy”. Based purely on a character front, the fact that this story has generated the kind of “controversy” that it has does seem a little bit surprising as Superman has long seen himself as a servant to humanity rather than a tool of the U.S. government (Frank…

I just looked at Action Comics 900 and was very pleased in the main story about the Black Ring Power search of Lex Luther and the “Reign of Doomsday” story but was left with mixed feeling about a back up story that was written by David S. Goyer and illustrated by Miguel Sepulveda. It was about a trip Superman made to Iran to stop the hostilities there unauthorized by the President of the United States. In the panel below you can see that he ends up telling the President’s man that he was renouncing…

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights is similar to Batman: Gotham Knight, will be an anthology film that tells a series of stories featuring various members of the Green Lantern Corps, including Abin Sur, Sinestro, Kilowog, Mogo, and Rori Dag.

Amazing Fantasy 15 and Amazing Spider-Man #1 was the first appearance of the character.

NBC came under fire when it released the first photo of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman earlier this month. As THR.com Heat Vision blogger Borys Kit pointed out, fanboys said she looked “too trashy, too bad-porn-y,” Fox said her look wasn’t patriotic enough and even Lynda Carter, who played her in the ’70s TV series, weighed in with a big negitive with glossy look. Los Angeles Times ran a poll asking readers whether the new version was a good representation of the Amazon princess character or more akin to a…

March 4th – 6th I attended the Seattle Emerald City Comic Con It was pleasant experience. I found the people in Seattle very hospitable and the service very good. The facility for the convention was suitable, the crowds were pleased with a good representation from all the major comic distributors and publishers. The costumes were outstanding keeping in mind they could not be store bought but had to be original. Many were made by the wearers themselves. The floor on Saturday was very crowded which was a good problem for…

Superficially, the much-anticipated weekly adventure fantasy series Smallville resembled the many cartoon and live-action adaptations of DC’s old Superboy comic books, themselves spin-offs of the indomitable Siegel and Schuster creation, Superman. However, this new hour-long WB series went off on several new tangents, notably the Buffy the Vampire Slayer conceit that with special powers comes special responsibilities. The pilot episode, telecast on October 16, 2001, established the premise by showing a strange meteor crashing just outside the tiny Kansas community of Smallville in 1989. The meteor was actually a spaceship…
