Sinestro Corps-In Depth



IGN.com has an interview on their site with Green Lantern writer Geoff Johns, Johns talks about the success of the event, DC's lack of attention to the title and we also are treated with this picture that left me really excited.......

Check out the great interview here

First full pic of the Dark Knight's Joker?

A random site called Mollywood.com has what it seems to be a full photo of Heath Ledger in the Joker costume. Some people don't really seem to be that impressed but I think it looks great!

Check it out and see what you think.

Book of the Week 7/11/07 New Avengers #32


Written by Brian Bendis
Art by Leinil Yu
Color Art by Dave McCaig
Letters by Albert Deschesne

The last issue of New Avengers left me the victim of overhype. Not being a Marvel zombie I knew little of the the history of the Skrulls or what the last images of issue #31 would mean for the Marvel universe. Granted, I had an idea and Bendis did clarify a few things however, this issue not only really brought me up to speed but I loved seeing the seeds of mistrust being planted amongst the team members.

Theories abound in this issue over the secret war, civil war, M-day, and where various loyalties lie plus everyone gets called on their strange behavior over the last several years. There's alot of build-up in this issue, which isn't necessarily a bad thing when written well. Bendis does an excellent job showing the team breaking apart through mistrust and then putting them into a situation that sees at least one member go their own way. I'm excited to see what this means for the Marvel-U as it looks like another summer event kicks off here.

Book of the week 7/5/07 Thor #1



Written by J. Michael Straczynski
Pencils by Olivier Coipel
Inks by Mark Morales
Colors by Laura Martin
Lettering by Chris Eliopoulos


I have to express right away that I was extremely shocked that I liked this book, I've actually always hated Thor as a character. I mean I thought he was cool in the big battles but I have never bought a Thor book.....until today.

I was intrigued when I heard that Thor had died and like everyone else it was a huge shock when he returned in Civil War.....until it turned out that he was a clone. I wasn't even planning on picking up this issue but I'm a fan of Straczynski and after House of m, I will buy anything drawn by Coipel. And I am ever so happy that I bought this book.

The story revolves around Donald Blake, Thor's alter ego, trying to convince the norse god to come back to earth and that he is needed. The contrast between the two characters as being separate and the same is very well done by Straczynski and Coipel art is just beautiful and poetic.

Fallen Son: Iron man moved me this week but this book made me fall in love with a character that I have previously disliked and it did it all in one issue, to me that gets the nod as the book of the week. Let's hope this team keeps up the great work!
