Most people probably know that DC cancelled all of its titles in September of 2011 and launched 52 #1 issues of their “New 52″ brand. I say most people because it was a pretty big deal at the time. While some of their books like Detective Comics retained their number since the first issue was released in 1939, no company [...]

With the upcoming Man Of Steel scant months away, it seems the WB’s theoretical Justice League film is closely hitched to the success of its latest superhero venture. Opening this door to speculation raises other questions. Why can’t Warner Brothers put together a successful, non-Batman movie while Marvel is making money off relative unknowns like Thor and Iron Man? How [...]

According to some online sources [here and here], the fate of the upcoming Justice League film (and by upcoming, I mean a few years from now) depends on the success of the new Superman film, Man of Steel. So any DC fans out there who have been eagerly anticipating a Justice League film to compete with Marvel’s The Avengers, whether [...]

I am not a traditional geek. I do not game, have little interest in comics and my choices in fiction tend to skew more realistic. While I enjoy a nice piece of science-fiction, I am far more drawn to a historical work, crime, or political thriller. The blockbuster superhero films certainly ring my bell– though, often as an outsider. In [...]

My son loves cartoons. His current favorites include Jake & The Never Land Pirates, The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. He tends to watch them while playing with his trains or monster trucks and loves to sing along with the songs. While these shows are a bit simplistic (hey, he’s three! And, really Jake and Daniel Tiger are [...]

Pardon me whilst I rant for a moment. So what does DC have now that Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is done? Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel? A Justice League movie? That seems to be about it. What does Marvel have? Sequels to Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Avengers, plus a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Advantage: Marvel. Even though I’m [...]

A couple of Green Lanterns have been making headlines lately. Haven’t you noticed? Turn in your Geek Card and pay attention, padawan. Also, get caught up by reading some great The Cool Ship articles here and here. In their never-ending attempts to keep up readership and attract new fans, comic book companies are constantly doing SHOCKING (not really) things. They [...]

So, the new Green Lantern was revealed this week, and he’s some kind of brown. That is to say that he’s a multiracial lantern with some African and Arabic heritage. The released cover shown in a recent #0 issue for the upcoming DC Trinity War shows a masked Green Lantern with a track of Arabic tattoos in the usual highlighted green of [...]

If you are anything like me or basically a person at all, you probably saw The Avengers this weekend. It broke some records and and took all of our money this weekend. It also got me thinking. How did we get to this point? It wasn’t too long ago comic books and video games weren’t cool. They were fun, but [...]

[Featured Image by Xer0ne] Finally back to a normal routine. There have been no major developments in the world of comics that I feel I need to go over so this will be just a standard review. First my ratings for the week Green Lantern Corps – 5/5 Batman – 5/5 Nightwing- 5/5 Justice League – 5/5 Red Hood and [...]

The number 7s have hit the shelves, and with them comes something called the Seven Families, a grouping of sets of comics that are all centered around one story line. Over the years, it has been next to impossible to figure out what books to read if you wanted to get the full scope of a story. You never knew [...]

Hey guys, it’s really hard for me to pick a review for this week. So, I decided to chuck that idea. Instead, let’s make some predictions! Also, I need to update my reading list. That way, you can follow along diligently and read the same things I read. Then, we can have insightful discussions in the comments. That’s my plan! [...]

The voice of Superman has a YouTube series, and it is awesome. Tim Daly and his son, Sam have this series, The Daly Show (Get it?). This series follows their antics as Sam tries to break into show business, and Tim is insane. Side note: Tim looks too young to have a son who is 25. I have several theories [...]

Let’s start with my admission that I will always choose Marvel over DC. Always. X-Men characters have been my favorite brand of superheroes since Fox’s engrossing cartoon introduced me to the absolute need to watch a show in linear progression. Seriously, if you missed one of those shows, you were totally lost when it came to the story line. Even [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I lied. I was going to review Superman…but, that meant I would have to go back and read all those issues. I really didn’t want to do that. But, don’t worry, I’m still going to complain about something! There have been some great moments in comics. Also, there have been some great plot devices to [...]

I was finally able to read new comics this week.  Issue # 5s mark the end of story arcs, and the first leg The New 52 is at an end. Green Lantern -5/5 Red Lantern 5/5 Action Comics – 4/5 Batman Detective Comics – 4/5 Batman And Robin -4/5 Suicide Squad – 5/5 I have had few requests to try [...]

A new year is upon us; last year held some great comics and some even better characters.  I’m also proud to say that Aquaman is in the running for Best Comic of 2011 (told you it was good). This week only had a few issues but most were amazing. DC Issue 4′s Aquaman – 5/5 Green Lantern: The New Guardians -5/5 Teen [...]

Hope everyone had a good holiday.  Mine was spent reading comic books. Batman -4/5 Wonder Woman – 4/5 Green Lantern Corps- 5/5 Red Hood And The Outlaws – 4/5 Nightwing – 4/5 Justice League – 5/5 Last week I went in depth on Green Lantern.  However, that is only the tip of the Green Lantern iceberg. Hal Jordan has 7,199 fellow [...]

The end of the year is the time when everyone starts putting out lists of things that were either awesome or awful. Hey, I’m no different. Here are some of the reasons why it was great to be a geek in 2011. 5. Comic Book Movies While not all comic book titles were winners (Green Lantern, Green Hornet, Priest), others [...]

Here we are again for another comic review. It was another slow week with only three issues for my review. So, without further ado, here they are: Green Lantern – 5/5 Batman And Robin – 4/5 Suicide Squad -5/5 Now, if you would kindly forget everything that Ryan Reynold’s did this past summer, let’s focus on the comics of Green [...]
