X - Men First Class

HOW COME NOBODY TOLD ME KEVIN BACON WAS IN THIS MOVIE!!!! I mean it's Kevin Bacon. All comic nerd inaccuracies aside this movie was good. Better than the rest of the X-Men films. They should just start over from here. Nightcrawler's pops was ruthless! The dynamic of Charles and Magneto was pretty good. Emma Frost was a cool surprise. Of course the black guy died and the Latina chick was a traitor, but besides that it is a good film. It's strange though why they choose who they do to be in the movie. Havok?? Sebastian Shaw??? Odd, all very odd.

Comic Book Week Final Day -- #1's

Thee X-Teens of the future. Foil cover made it nice. They went to bars and got drunk off of milk. That's a wild future.
FOIL COVER!!! This blew my mind when I first got it, it was just put together nicely. Great art and a great story.
I've never read this. Hawkeye is one of my favorite characters though. Bow and arrows are dope.
Gambit!!! That's all.


Thee original X-Force! Shatterstar, Cable, Boomer, Cannonball, Feral, Sunspot, Richter! Excellence.
Eh.
Ehh.
Aquaman kicked his ass but I still like him better!


Number 1 spot!

Comic Book Week DAY 2

Things I find funny about comic books is that they can kill off anybody for any reason and then bring then back. Somehow Colossus died and then somewhere along the line someone thought to bring him back, and without any explanation whatsoever he returned almost out of thin air and no one questioned it.



Then you have those issues that go kinda wasted even if its some sort of social message in it. Like this issue where Alpha Flight member NorthStar pretty much comes out the the closet to his sister.



This I believe is the oldest comic I have. I think it's from 1978 or so. I've never read it though. Not much of a DC fan, its just too corny.



So what happens when your body gets snatched and goes on a crazed rampage? Ask Psylocke ooooooooooor ask Wolverine as he is being held hostage. Another character killed and bought back several times.

Comic Book Week!!!

When I was little I used to hit up Geppi's at the Harbor all the time for the newest Marvel cards and comics. Then I used to cop Ultra Fleer cards at Eastpoint Mall from this stand for 4 bucks a pack and trade 'em in middle school. Then my Pop bought me a couple whole sets of series. I don't really read them anymore (Except for DEADPOOL) or follow any of the story lines but I COLLECT!

So Here We Go!

500th issue of Spider Man -- I'm not really much of a Spider-Man reader but he comes through every now and again.



This issue Spidey contemplates quittin the game but we all know that the hustle never stops.

Just a dope Wolverine cover. However he ends up looking like Lobo.

The only Aquaman comic I have and he is fighting off a giant crab....sounds like he needs to go to the clinic to me but what do I know. Anyhow I think Entourage should have actually spun off to make this a movie even though it was a running joke in the series I think followers of the show would have thought it was cool and supported the movie.

Back tomorrow with more!

I Am Iron-Man...kinda

One of my a.k.a.'s used to be (maybe still is) War-Machine which is Iron-Man's homie James Rhodes....U don't wanna comic book trivia with me, believe it! So as you can clearly see I am kinda Iron-Man. When I heard they were making an Iron-Man movie I believe I crapped my pants alittle. Then they said Robert Downey Jr. was going be Tony Stark...i was confused and bewildered. Then I started seeing the previews for it and I crapped my pants alittle. Then they're were rumors that Ghostface has a cameo...man it keeps getting better. Then recently I see the date and realize that coming out in like 3 weeks. GREAT NEWS!! Comic book movies are very hit and miss but when done right they are beautiful. I.e. Batman, Batman Begins, Spider-Man, the old Super-Man (the 1st two), and the Fantastic Four films (yeah i said it). Daredevil made my sad inside....it had good intentions but it just wasn't executed well. X-Men movies kinda suck... none of them are really that good, but they aren't horrible either. And with more comic book movies on the horizon (Avengers, The Incredible Hulk, Captain Damn America (they better do that one right this time!!!), The Punisher (yes another one, they never get those right),and Wolverine) one can only hope, pray, and believe that your favorite comic books will get its shine on the silver screen.
