Comic Con 2012: The Judge Dredd World Premiere

Media Release

Lionsgate and the Masters of the Web panel co-sponsored the world premiere of Dredd 3D to a packed house at San Diego Comic Con Wednesday night. Dedicated fans lined up around the block for a chance to get into the screening, and the chance to hear stars Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby intro the film. The two play judges in a burned-out, post-apocalyptic metropolis, and as Urban cautioned before the screening, rambunctious crowd grabbing Dredd tickets better like their movies to be “dark and gritty.” Needless to say, that got…

America’s Got Powers Review

Travis

Not to far off the beating path… For those of you who don’t know me I am a browser.  I go into my local comic shop and stare at the stuff I cannot afford to buy and look at the things I am not collecting often wondering if I should be collecting those.  This particular week I was excited for all the comics that I was going to get off my shelf, but I had to look at the Racks anyway. That is when I came across a little Gem…

Sentry: Hero or Mistake?

Walt

Well Marvel did it they got rid of Sentry in the last issue of Siege of Asgard. It helped bring the end to a lot of story lines and ushered the Age of Heroes to the Marvel Universe after the journey down the dark side with “Dark Reign“. Siege is a turning point in Marvel and the end of the many Avenger titles to one as it should be. Sentry began as a forgotten hero of yesterday and ended as a threat to mankind and a mentally deranged psychopath. The Sentry (Robert “Bob”…

Legion of 3 Worlds

Walt

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…

Why Comics?

Walt

  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…
