Finally we are getting the Final – Final Crisis story months after the main story has ended, coming July 22 at your nearest comic store. This story is interesting because it is about Superboy-Prime and his campaign against the future Legion of Super-Heroes plus the development of the identity of the Time-Trapper and his hatred of the Legion and everything Superman. I am frustrated by how long it has taken DC to release the comic. But I think it was held to put make more interest in the new release…

Final Crisis is a seven-issue comic book limited series published by DC Comics in 2008 and 2009 and written by Grant Morrison. It was amazing in it’s scope and a real shake up of the DC Universe. It has major characters dying and the creation of new characters and many tie-ins from all heroes and bad guys. Well worth the read but so much is happening you may have to read again to get all the dimensions of action. Crossover titles help tell the whole story. DC really can go…

I did not think that the Marvel comic world could top 2007 in shaking things up with Civil War, World War Hulk, One More Day Spider-Man, and of course the death of an Icon: Captain America but they did a fair Job with A Brand New Day story line with Spider-Man without Mary Jane in his life. Plus the restart of the series with Thor and Asgard written by J. Michael Straczynski an outstanding writer. And the restart of the Hulk series introducing the Red Hulk a meaner more sinister Hulk written…

Very well promoted film it is set to make well over 100 million in tickets the first weekend already a sellout in many theaters.

J. Michael Straczynski has written a masterful recreation of Asgard with Thor, Balder, Loki and all the wonderful characters from Marvel Norse Mythology. And Olivier Copiel, Mark Morales, Danny Miki have captured the flavor and greatness of Asgard in their art. The Norse Gods should be bigger than life in story and visual art and I really enjoy the direction Straczynski is going with the surprises of a female Loki and the return of Doctor Blake. Plus he includes a story about the fate of his father Odin. A good…

Hellboy II This movie looks great and it’s unfortunate that it won’t get as much publicity as the new Batman flick. The creatures look incredible and if any of you haven’t seen Pan’s Labyrinth then you’re missing out! Yes, it’s in subtitles for those of you who don’t speak Espanol, but it’s an incredible movie. The creatures in it are certainly reflected here in the new Hellboy film. I’m actually looking forward to seeing this one more than the new Batman movie. Ok, so I’m looking forward to both. Here…

Secret Invasion #2 slows the story down a little to tell about a battle between an older (classic) version of Avengers or Heroes against the later Avengers of today in the Savage Land T-Rex and all. It leaves you wondering who is the Scrull and who is the real hero. Will the real Spider-Man please stand up. Don’t know what marvel has in mind with this series is it just a good story or does Brian Bendis and Quesada have an agenda in mind. Lets see: Civil War to Kill Captain…

Ed Brubaker’s run on Captain America is nothing less than monumental as much as much as the character Steve Rogers was outstanding as Cap his death and the transformation of the Winter Soldier (Bucky) as Captain America is a landmark issue and sure to be a classic. (Captain America #34) I have mixed feelings about the change for my loss of Steve and the the transition to Bucky. It looks like that was Brubaker’s intention to go in a total new direction and boy he did. My only hope is that Cap…

Almost every person who reads a comic has been ridiculed by insensitive people saying that you should have something better to do with the time than to read a ” funny book “. As a young person I saw nothing funny about the super hero comics I was reading. They made my imagination soar, for a few moments I could imagine what it was like to be Superman with the ability to fly and move faster than a speeding bullet. I could have power to change things in society…
