Famke Janssen Hints At Jean Grey’s Cinematic Resurrection
‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ was a terrible movie. The writers veered so far from the source material that it wasn’t even a turn-off-your-brain-and-enjoy-it kind of movie. The powers that be even saw fit to kill off some major X-Men characters. That said, I won’t fault the... -
Comic Book Review: ‘All-Star Western’ #0
It’s time for another “zero issue” ‘before New 52’ origin story. This time around, it’s the backstory of everyones favorite gun-slinging, no-nonsense bounty hunter… Jonah Hex! Be warned. If you don’t already know the history of Jonah Hex, there will be SPOILERS! The... -
Comic Book Review: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ #694
When Spider-Man’s sidekick (or is it the other way around?), Alpha, appeared in ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #692, it was a fun and interesting intro. Then last issue things ramped up since Spider-Man was slowly losing control of Alpha. The boy was basking in his celebrity, belittling... -
Comic Book Review: ‘The Flash’ #0
So far, as with any event of this sort, DC’s “zero issues” are hit and miss. Most of them are ‘before New 52’ stories and give us new retellings of some of the DC heroes and highlight the changes to the universe. This issue of ‘The Flash’ pretty much the same thing.... -
Comic Book Review: ‘FF’ #22
Rather than continuing directly from ‘FF’ #21, this issue tells a tale that overlaps with ‘Fantastic Four’ #610. In that issue, A.I.M. had created a new nation close off the coast of the United States. The President sent in Reed Richards to negotiate some sort of treaty... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Superman’ #0
In another ‘before New 52’ story, we’re treated not to the actual origins of Kal-El (aka Superman) but rather to the life of Jor-El, Kal’s father, as he struggles to save Krypton from an impending disaster. It’s a story that’s been told in countless incarnations over... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Justice League’ #0
The journey to this special #0 issue began way back in ‘Justice League’ #7 with the ‘Shazam!’ backup story. Then, over the past five months, we’ve been slowly introduced to the Billy Batson of the New 52 Universe. In the old DCU, Billy was the “aw shucks!” goody-goody... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Spider-Men’ #5
In the final pages of ‘Spider-Men’ #4, Nick Fury had called in some of his Ultimate teammates to put the hurt down on Mysterio and get Peter Parker back to his universe where he belongs. This issue opens on Mysterio, here on Earth-616, he gloats over having trapped Peter... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Venom’ #25
At the close of ‘Venom’ #24, our hero was facing down the forces of Hell… literally. Venom was battling Daimon Hellstrom, the Son of Satan, and a group of demonic entities called the Monsters of Evil. On top of all that, Venom was possessed by a demon of his own and... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Scarlet Spider’ #9
‘Scarlet Spider’ #8 closed on our hero and his newfound pals the Rangers as they prepared to face a giant energy monster. The Roxxon corporation has uncovered the creature while digging for oil and had been keeping it a secret until Kaine uncovered it by accident following... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Batman’ #0
Like many of DC’s #0 issues this month, ‘Batman’ #0 is a “before New 52” tale. These prequel tales give us a glimpse of the history of the New 52 universe by presenting fresh takes on the updated origins of old characters or, in the case of this issue, a look at many... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Batman And Robin’ #0
I’ve said it in my reviews for this title in the past but, with this issue, it bears repeating. ‘Batman and Robin’ is centered on young Damian Wayne and his relationship with his father. Sure… they go on adventures and fight villains but, at its heart, this is a story... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Green Lantern Corps’ #0
When it comes to Green Lanterns, everybody has a favorite. This debate raged in 2004 when DC and Geoff Johns brought the original Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, back from the dead in ‘Green Lantern: Rebirth’. Fans drew sides on who was better the better Lantern: Hal Jordan or... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Fantastic Four’ #610
After the one-shot time travel tale in ‘Fantastic Four’ #609, this series moves into a new arc revolving around the Wizard and his last remaining clone… Bentley of the Future Foundation. As story opens, the US President has assembled Captain America, Reed Richards,... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Avenging Spider-Man’ #12
Alright. If you’ve read my reviews of ‘Deadpool’, you already know that I’m not a fan of the character. His voices-in-the-head fourth-wall-breaking antics serve only to annoy me. At the end of the ‘Dead’ story arc, I swore I’d never read another Deadpool comic for...
