Merry Christmas!

From the Hulk family, and myself a huge Merry Christmas to you all, and a glorious New Year. This year has been a great one for me, I must say. I went to Comic-Con for the second time and managed to meet for the first time many people who I’ve been ‘talking’ with over the [...]

Incorruptible #1 Review

It only seems like yesterday that a website opened up simply declaring, “Mark Waid Is Evil.” Some speculated that it was created by a group of fanboys who for some reason disliked the work of the legendary writer of Kingdom Come and great runs on The Flash and Spider-Man. What it really was was a [...]

Batman Meets Doc Savage

Newsarama has a glimpse at some of the goodies being released in March from DC Comics, including he first issue of their universe melding First Wave series. The idea behind this series is to create yet another alternate universe, one in which pulp-leaning characters such as Batman (now with twin pistols) and Black Canary exist [...]

This Week’s Winners

The Complete Alice in Wonderland #1. Like most people, I am more familiar with adaptations of Lewis Carroll’s master work, rather than the source material. However, the faithful work that writers John Reppion and Leah Moore have done on this title is obvious from the die-cut cover, as Carroll’s name is above theirs. It probably [...]

Steve Mannion Interview

Now up at Broken Frontier is my interview with Steve Mannion, from Asylum Press’ Fearless Dawn series, for which words like “cheesecake,” “romp” and “madcap” would be suitable descriptions. He’s a great artist too. His The Bomb TPB is out now and the Fearless Dawn mini-series has just begun. If you like Tank Girl-like heroines [...]

Iron Man 2 Trailer

Surprisingly I can’t find it on YouTube, but I’m sure it won’t be long. For now you can go here to see the just released official Iron Man 2 trailer. The film opens in May. The trailer features glimpses of Nick Fury, Black Widow, Whiplash and War Machine. Oh, and Iron Man.

Robin Hood Trailer

Opening in May is the next Ridley Scott/ Russel Crowe team-up – Robin Hood, based on the legendary archer. It just looks like Gladiator with bows and arrows so far, but we’ll see when it opens next year.

The Paranormally Active Engineer

I saw the much hyped low budget film Paranormal Activity last week, and though it didn’t terrify me, I certainly admired it’s film-making creativity. To read my review of the most financially successful film ever made, go here. Up at the blog for Arcana magazine I also put up a preview of The Engineer, a [...]

William Baldwin Is Batman

I can’t really conceal my excitement for this film. It’s a great time to be a DC fan!

I’ve chosen this film as one of the must haves for the first quarter of 2010 [...]
