Universe 0
Writer: Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns
Artist: Every Artist DC Has
Publisher: DC
I’m really not sure why this issue exists. We had a whole 52 issue series in the form of Countdown to Final Crisis that was supposed to set up… Final Crisis. But apparently it didn’t. So we have Universe 0, which is little more [...]

Slice of Sci-Fi reports that Marvels comic book movie Iron Man not only ranked as the number one movie for the weekend, but has already made over $100 million at the box office. It’s expected to do as well again internationally making it a genuine blockbuster movie. While Iron Man was always expected to [...]

Sometimes it seems like the internet is a very negative place. There’s a new Incredible Hulk trailer out and it’s being greeted by a lot of fan cynicism. So I thought I’d post my Seven Reasons Why The Incredible Hulk Won’t Suck… probably.

Edward Norton
Now I’m not claiming that Norton’s record is perfect (he appeared in [...]

With the movie debut of Iron Man this week, I though it would be an excellent time to look at the history of this lesser known Marvel Comics character. I say lesser known because to the world at large there are The Hulk and Spider-man, then The X-Men and the Fantastic Four. After that only [...]

Countdown to Final Crisis #1
Writer: Paul Dini
Artist: Tom Derenick
Publisher: DC
So here we are. Finally the countdown reaches 1. And what do we get? An epilogue. As I feared this whole exercise hasn’t lead into Final Crisis at all. In fact the only really significant bit seems to be the death of the New Gods which [...]

Amazing Spider-Man #557
Writer: Zeb Wells
Artist: Chris Bachalo
Publisher: Marvel
The latest Spider-man storyline wraps up and I’m mainly just pleased it’s over. I’m not a fan of Bachalo’s art and Wells first contribution to Brand New Day really just didn’t do much for me. Not that it was bad, but I’m not that into Spidey fighting gods [...]

Booster Gold #8
Writer: Geoff Johns & Jeff Katz
Artist: Dan Jurgens

I’ve really been enjoying Booster Gold so far, and this current story (Blue and Gold) in particular. What makes that a little surprising is that I have no particular attachment to either Booster Gold or this particular Blue Beetle.
But what DC is [...]

Marvel Studios in conjunction with Universal Pictures have released a behind the scenes featurette on the making of The Incredible Hulk. The new movie which is a sequel of sorts to Hulk which was met with mixed reactions at best.
The new movie will take its lead more from the tv series. The Incredible Hulk opens [...]

Secret Invasion #1
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Leinil Yu
Publisher: Marvel
So Secret Invasion is upon us. They hype has been heavy for the last few months, but Bendis has apparently been seeding his stories for years now with elements that lead up to this story. One of the big criticisms of Bendis’ last crossover event was that [...]

Astonishing X-Men #17
Writer: Joss Whedon
Artist: John Cassady
Publisher: Marvel
Whedon’s story continues its meandering pace this issue, though it does look like we might be getting close to a conclusion of some sort. The art is of course as good as ever, but this is a storyline that has just gone on too long.
I’m at the [...]
