Pick of the Week - 03.17.2010 - Siege #3

On Mar 17, 2010 6:54 PM

This issue was fine, but it really wasn't screaming epic and fascinating to me.  I just see a flat-out action story that is trying to wrap up everything Dark Reign dragged on for the last year so that we can get to the Heroic Age.  That's all fine and good - I just don't think it deserves a lot of high praise. I really hope we end this whole Sentry saga though.  He just never i...

New Comics for 03/17/10 Don't Have Time for Wii

On Mar 15, 2010 2:53 PM

Siege, GLC, and Joe the Barbarian is all I need to complete my comic book week. BQ: Good gosh, so many miles logged on my consoles over the last 20 years....I have to give it to the Super NES.  So many classics across so many gaming genres and Final Fantasy II and III is what got me into RPGs.  But I have to give it to Chrono Trigger as my fave - perfect blend of fighting, story, an...

Christopher Nolan Talks Superman and Batman Films

On Mar 10, 2010 1:00 PM

Much as I'd like to see this shared world for DC, I think right now keeping Batman, Superman, and any other characters for that matter in their own worlds is the right idea.  DC really needs to re-establish a lot of these characters for the big screen because they are leagues behind what Marvel has been doing the last 10 years.  Let Nolan finish his interpretation of Batman and re-inv...

New Comics for 03/10/2010 Liked THE HURT LOCKER Just Fine

On Mar 8, 2010 2:15 PM

I love that Unwritten and Daytripper have been coming out the same week each month.  Feeds my Vertigo hunger very nicely :) BQ: I can only go off what I saw - District 9.  Avatar was nice, but too overhyped for me

Brightest Day Brings Changes For The Green Lantern Books

On Feb 12, 2010 1:19 PM

Even though I'm not really familiar with his works, I'll give Bedard the benefit of the doubt and give it a shot.  I just hope it doesn't make GL books stagnant - they're on too much of a roll as of late.

Christopher Nolan Writing Third Batman Film; Mentoring Superman Reboot

On Feb 9, 2010 1:35 PM

Superman needs to go with the Incredible Hulk approach and cover the origin in the opening credits.  Get that out of the way, then get into the meat of the story.  I have confidence Nolan can do that so long as Warner Bros is not pulling his strings and demanding something that's contrary to his style of directing and writing.

Director Joe Johnston Talks THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA

On Feb 8, 2010 9:00 AM

The costume issues don't bother me too much, though that's obviously because I'm a comic nerd.  Get the origin right and I'll go for it.

Apple Announces iPad with iBooks - What Does This Mean For Comics?

On Jan 27, 2010 2:07 PM

My feelings aside about them for some stupid reason still staying exclusive with AT&T for Wi-Fi/3G, it's an ok start for Apple and their iPad.  If comic book companies are really committed to digital distribution though and want to talk business with Apple, then this could really take off for us comic geeks.  But that obviously is not going to gain traction any time soon until peo...
