I will jump from the oldie goldie to a new favorite, Evil Inc. I found out about this comic when I stumbled across the Webcomics Weekly show on iTunes. The show features four of the leading folk in online comics, Brad Wigwam err Guiger (go back through the archives to get the joke), Dave Kellett, Kris Straub, and Scott Kurtz; they talk shop and social aspects of doing webcomcics. If you want they’re collected thoughts check out How to Make Webcomics book. But I digress this is supposed to be about Evil Inc. (more…)

There comes a point in every woman’s life where you lose hope in the male species and think to yourself “Maybe I should try lesbianism.” Oh, is that just me? Either way, I have put some thought in to the whole lesbian thing. Who makes me think twice about why I find men attractive? I compiled a list of what women I would totally go gay for. This list is not ranked whatsoever.

Right. So I have a set of online comic bookmarks that’s um … around 30 currently. And I figured it was high time I started telling others about them. I’ll start with the one that first drew me into the warm embrace of webcomics, MegaTokyo.

OK ok ok. I have been meaning to do this one for a while but it was tough because comics change all the time. One day you will be into a certain comic and then all of the sudden they change writers or artists and the comic goes right down the crap shoot. So what I have done is basically picked out my favorite comcs during a certain point in there story. For instance rather than just saying X-Men I have selected a certain point in the X-Men story line as my favorite. So now that that is explained lets get to it… (more…)

OK… Gotta say, or warn, that i am a huge fan of the Hellboy. I liked the first one a bunch. The look and feel of it was staggering to me. Awesome lighting and cinematography hooked me something fierce. The ending of it was a bit lame to me, but despite that i have watched it again and again finding new joy in each viewing. (Partly because of some of my favorite commentary tracks on a DVD EVer.) I was always a fan of the art and style of the comics as well. Its one of the few series i have made an effort to collect. Not a perfect effort, but so goes it, …and i digress heavily.

So that leads us to my views on the current HB. (more…)

OK… So it’s been a while since the release of Wanted. Been even longer since the previews came out of course, but that’s how far back i’m gonna reach with this review. Seems to me like the previews are often what makes the movie. I know that sounds weird, but think about it a bit. If you havn’t seen something yet, and didn’t know about it til ya saw a commercial for it, you are investing a lot in your opinion of that commercial. Where am i going with this? I’m not sure i completely know myself, but i suppose it’s to say, whatever your opinion of the commercials of this movie are, it’s probably worth checking out… at least if you like action movies.

Here is why… (more…)

SOOO… When the previews for Iron Man started coming out, this past spring, I started to talk smack about how I was going to boycott the Iron Man movie. Why? Because in the Marvel comics he turned against his super hero brethren, and is partially responsible (in my mind anyway) for Captain America’s death. But as the movie got closer to release my stance on the matter weakened, and I went and saw it and was blown away by how good it was and blah blah blah… My sister on the other hand (she also reads the comics because I lend them to her) was not so easily swayed. She actually stuck to her guns and to this day refuses to forgive Iron Man for what he did in the comics and refuses to see the movie. This is a copy of her blog from Myspace on just that very subject. I think it’s pretty funny.

I’m going to keep this real short because my boy Thejsun is also doing a review and no one needs two reviews pretty much saying the same thing. They finally did it right. Marvels reboot of the Hulk is awesome. As far as pure enjoyment, it is on par with Ironman, Batman Begins, and the first 2 X-Men. The story may not be as complex and the characters may be a little cliche, but it’s the Hulk. You don’t need complex. We have all seen what happens when they try and make a complex Hulk…horrible things. All we need is a basic story that makes sense, for the most part, and lots and lots of Hulk smashing. And I am happy to say that that is what Marvel has given us. The story may not be as clever as their recent Iron Man movie, but The Incredible Hulk has WAY more action. I can’t even begin to describe to you how big my smile was in the theater when Hulk and the Abomination finally throw down in the end. It was comic book nerd nirvana! It literally made me want to jump out of my seat and cheer. Hulk Smash my friends…Hulk SMASH!

OK… so first i neeed to say that i was never a big fan of the original Speed racer show. I know it seems like i shouldn’t be the one to review it because i have no love for it going in, but that perspective will be reserved for 6of6 in another review. Trust me when i say that the fact that i wasn’t a fan didn’t color my review of this. (i know its hard, but try)

I HATED THIS MOVIE… and here is why.. (more…)

OK. So when Gamin wrote his bit about loving the post apocalypse in all of its glory and lack thereof i had to think a bit. I kinda like the genre, but i’m not sure i’m too passionate about it. I couldn’t write about any movies that i particualy loved. There are some neat ones to be sure… but how devoted am i to any of them? At the time i had to say little to none. Naturally though, i was forgetting something, and it took me till now to realize it. I was forgetting anime.

How could i forget anime and what prompted me to remember it(you almost certainly are asking yourself)? The dvd of the new Evangelion movie was just released and promptly subbed by a rabid Evangelion fanboy fanbase. (more…)
