Ghost Rider Trailer

Sunday, May 28th, 2006

Obviously I’ve been out of the loop on all these comic book related news, but there’s a Ghost Rider trailer out. I’m not a big GR fan (having never read a comic with the character), but if Daredevil is anything to go by (same director), we’re going to be subjected to a monster prune.

Flash Movie

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

So I was having a bite to eat on a lazy sunday afternoon, I flip on the tube (which I assure you is very rare unless I’ve got something specific I would like to watch), and what do I see, The Flash movie from the early to mid nineties. The series has always had a [...]

X-men | Last stand review

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

Speaking of the X-men, Mike’s gone and given the latest installment in the X-men movie franchise a thumbs up. Like I’ve said before I’m quietly optimistic regarding this movie, but this does bode well in general.

Preacher TV Series in the works?

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Grant Morrison is a very tough act to follow. When he’s on fire he’s better than most writers in the comic book field, when he’s not on fire, he’s just really really weird. Unfortunately for Joss Whedon, Grant was firing on all cyclinders for his run on New X-men. He just made the X-men that [...]

Ministry of Space

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

So I’m in the store yesterday and I’m picking up Brian Azzarello and Jim Lee’s Superman trade and Josh Middleton’s Shazam book (neither characters really do it for me but all creators attached are superb in every meaning of the word) but I wasn’t saticified with just these two books. So I started looking around [...]

Alex Ross Interview

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

Just thought I’d point out this excellent interview with Alex Ross regarding the latest Absolute Kingdom Come hardcover from DC Comics. I’ve got incredibly fond memories of that series and I will be reviewing that seminal mini-series at some point in time. I know I’ve been pretty quiet lately with this website however that’s mainly [...]
