Spinning Jonah Hex

Friday, April 30, 2010
By neuroticninja

I still think Jonah is going to be a train wreck, no matter what Josh Brolin says. Originally he told Mtv News he thought the film was awful. Well, no with a bunch of reshoots and edits, a delayed trailer, and a solid June 18 release date Brolin, who plays Hex, is changing his... »

Movie day

It is a big day comic book fans and popcorn movie lovers. Kick Ass is officially showing at a theater near you. Reviewers’ hype for this film, along with blogs, is positive it would seem. Of course I take all reviews with a grain of salt until I see something myself and am able to... »

Lapsed

Nothing will distract me more than dropping $1,400 on roof repairs and praying to Metron that my home owners insurance will cover the actual expense. The adjuster came out yesterday and agreed the damages were caused by wind, which is covered under my policy. Now that I know I won’t be eating the paper... »

By neuroticninja

The first comic book conventions I went to was the one Wizard hosted in Chicago in 1998. I was there as a guest to my friend who was interning for Wizard that summer. We stayed at the Hilton near the airport. He got me a free two day pass and then I was pretty... »

A recommended read

Tom Brownfield has an interesting review of Madame Xanadu over at Newsarama. With Matt Wagner writing the title it is sort of hard to resist picking up this title. I’ve been a long time fan of such works as Grendel and Mage. Brownfield does a great job of laying out the reasons to like... »

Comics in the digital age

Wednesday, July 29, 2009
By neuroticninja

The past ten years in the evolution for the comic book industry is a relative blank spot for me. At the time I laid off of collecting and buying in any real significant way, I remember reading Wizard, the Comic Book Resource Guide, and talking at the counter with my buddies and comic shop... »

Comic quote of the Day

Today’s quote is a little longish, but it comes from the beautifully executed DC New Frontier. The words are those of Ted “Wildcat” Grant as he fights Cassius Clay to defend his title in front of his former superhero colleagues. In the scene of the story Grant adopts “Plan B,” where he basically goes into... »

Batman discussion

Friday, July 24, 2009
By neuroticninja

Newsarama has gone live with their Live Chat! reporting of the Batman panel. Rucka’s responses on Batwoman questions are tentilating. “Does Bette Kane even have a costumed identity any more?” Rucka: “You’ll see. We’re going to be focusing on her around #861, #862 for a bit.” »

Producers, film studios, publishers, comic houses, toy makers, sculptors, and independents are all singing their song to fans and audiences this weekend in San Diego. For all the cacophony and crowds at the con I wish I were there. Here is how I am coping: Twitter Follow the right people on the social networking tool and... »

I just finished reading this CBR interview with Marv Wolfman who took the time to promote the upcoming DC Universe Online . The game had a playable demo last year at a SDCC video game booth that had long lines to try out. Even then it was nicely rendered and looked like a heck... »

This one is from Kingdom Come. What a great read and I love Superman’s conflicted characterization. Our job is thankless… but we do what has to be done. Right now, we’re humanity’s only hope. Be heroes. – Superman Or it could be added, an editor. »
