Quick Review-9-21

I only picked up three comics this week, all of which I thought was pretty good. One of those was pretty controversial. First lets take a look at this Fear Itself Preview.

Yeah pretty cliche way to end an event, the power-up at the last moment to defeat the villian. Remind me of how Power Rangers did every other battle. It just hard to feel anything for this event anymore. Maybe I should have just collected Spider Island instead. Well on to the reviews after the jump.

Quick reviews for 9-7-11

Yeah I was kind of like that.

     First off I apologize for my long absence, I was locked up in a containment center because my mutant gene. Long story short I escaped and burn the place down. So I’m going to start doing quick shot reviews of the comics I buy each week. Some weeks I may give some comic their own post because how bad or good it is but more often it is going to be quick reviews. It gets to the point fast and easy and let you know if you should buy it or not, because we all know our time is valuable… Alright let’s get started with Marvel.

Marvel Vs Star Wars

Ign have a versus voting poll on Marvel Vs Star Wars. Here the link http://comics.ign.com/articles/118/1187420p1.html .Now I'm not as big as a fan of the Star Wars universe as I am of Marvel, so in my eyes this matchup would be completly bias. I believe most fans would vote on bias as well but that not why I'm posting this. The art they have for this poll is phenomental. Jonathan Moore is a exceptional artist. Check out some of the Pictures below after the jump.

Miles- The new Ultimate Spiderman

        Sorry for the long delay on this posting. I been busy with school, and got a new job. So I know this is old news by now but i still hear some people chatting about this. Let me get this out there early, Miles Morales is African American and Hispanic; do I think this was done more for publicity then for the story, it doesnt matter. Diversity is always good. Where in the comic law book do it say that just becuase the previous Spiderman was White that the next one is. Now that I got that out here more of my thoughts on this more after the jump.

The Punisher 1!

           To start off I always enjoyed the character Punisher in comics. However, to me he was always the great costar never the best main; Always the rhythm guitarist never great at lead. Of course there are stories that are exceptions but I just never been super interested into him alone. However I saw Punisher issue 1 on stands and decided to pick it up. Read my brief review after the jump.

The Surge of Superheros movies is now over, Was it good?

Well with the release of Captain America Last night, the Surge of Comic book movies are over for the year (I’m including Harry Potter, and Transformers in as well because fans seems to cross over). Was it good, bad, mixed results? Click read more for my opinion of this summer blockbuster movies and my brief thoughts on each movie. Captain may be a little longer because well… It was Awesome.

I'm Fearing Event Exhaust( my rating of Fear Itself so far)

        Why is it when one company starts an event, the other have to have one as well? This pushes readers to other minor companies…..wait a minute that don’t seem like a bad ideal. But all things aside, 4 issues into Fear Itself and I just want it to be over. I’m tired of the crossover banners on all my comics. It just make it seems so long. I’m all for the big ideals it brings but why must it involve everything. With Flashpoint and Fear Itself going on I feel exhausted. Click read more to further know my thoughts on Fear Itself.

Deadpool; Do you Love Him, Or Do you Hate Him?

         

         Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth; you either love him or you hate him. I love him but spending time on a lot of comic forums I don’t understand why he garner so much hate.  Seriously many people just hate the fact that he got a comic out. They want him to just disappear. These people just don't understand the character. Click read more to know my thoughts on Lil old Wade Wilson.

How to turn your Friends and Family into Comic Book Geeks.

            Being a comic book fan can be a lonely road. Many people still tend to look down on comics as a childish form of entertainment. Those people are idiots. Misinformed should be a nicer way to put it. We all felt if there was only a way to grab them and show them the fantastic world that they're missing. Well click read more for a couple of ways of getting those uninterested friends into pure Wednesday loving comic book fans.

Top 5 comic that still ongoing.

             I get asked which comics runs am i enjoying the most alot. so I decided to do a countdown of my top five comic books that is still going on and why.

First however is my runner "The Walking Dead" by Kirkman. Its hard for comics to attract fans and stay on the stands that not part of Marvel Or Dc, especially for a zombie story. Well Walking Dead beat all odds and is a great story, for everyone. I gave my girlfriend(who doesnt read comics) a trade and she addicted to it like me. Its a great comic, plus a great T.V show. So experience it anyway you can. Dont miss out.

Now on to the top 5, click read  more to see the five greatest comics on stands now.

Digital Comics vs Print

 IS this the Future of comics?

     There been a lot of talk about digital comics latly; especially more so now that Dc revealed that they going to have a fluent digital comic release once their universe relaunch happens in Septemeber. I have strong feelings against digital comics. I fear my opposition to it may be futile though. I may be what Vcr fans was to the Dvd player, or CD players to the Ipod. The more I think about it the more i realize print comics stand a chance. Dvd are superior to videos, Ipods are superior to cd player, but Digital is not superior to print. More after the jump...

Short Comic Arcs VS Long Comic Arcs; Benefits of Both

         I talked to many comic books stores owners and even more comic book fans and it seems their is no common consensus of which is the best. Some perfer short 6 issue arcs like what Benis is currently doing with the Avengers, and some perfer longer more planned out stories like what Hickman do with most of his writing(S.H.I.E.L.D, FF, Secret Warriors). After the jump I discuss the benefits of both short term and long term stories and leave it up to you to decide which one is the best.

Marvel and Dc events. Flashpoint vs Fear Itself

        Its Back! Marvel and DC crosswide events are back from the dead. It been about a year since Blackest Night and Siege and after a year long break they returning. Here is what im collecting and what im not after the jump.

      

Thor review!

       Now to start this review off, let me begin by saying Asgard was simply spectacular. I was a little worried how they would make it look, well nothing to be worried about. It blew my expectations out of  the water, more than out the water, it blew it out of the planet. I found myself wanting to see more of Asgard, to see more of where the lower asgardian class live. The Earth scenes are straight out of the comic. It reminded me of a recent issue of Thor. Nicely done on that part too.
