[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18560:]]If you happen to recall the stellar Krypton opening in Man of Steel that lasted 20 minutes or so, you will be seeing something similar in Batman Vs.

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy #22 (Bendys)
For another lump of coal in your Christmas Stocking, check out GotGINO* #22. Actually, it’s more like a hot potato than a lump of coal as Bendys spends the entire issue playing hot potato with Venom’s symbiote.I know Bendys and his easily pleased fanboys think it’s just madcap fun to have the symbiote jump from Guardian…

Review: NINO Nova #25
With the release of NINO #25 on Christmas Eve, Marvel has essentially dropped a lump of coal into everyone’s Christmas stocking.The entire run of this series has been characterized by insipid, implausible, intelligence-insulting stories aimed at the pre-pubescent mentality combined with absolute contempt for the Nova mythos, legacy, and long-term fans – but this issue…

Review: Guardians 3000 #3
Between 2006 and 2010, Dan Abnett was one of the architects of the Renaissance in Marvel Cosmic, refurbishing (the real) Nova from a teen Spider-clone to a mature, bad-ass, powerful, leader of men and creating a Guardians of the Galaxy team concept that inspired the top-grossing movie of 2014.In reward for his efforts, Marvel Editor-in-Chief,…

Review: Guardians 3000 #2
I admit that I had my doubts about this book after reading the preview of it in the GotGINO anniversary issue. I also had my doubts that the classic team could provide grist for interesting stories. I’m overjoyed to say that my doubts have been allayed with the publication of this issue.Welcome to Marvel’s one…

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy #21 (BendYs)
Since when is Star-Lord so clumsy and un-skilled with the ladies? Oh yeah – since Bendys* has been providing what passes for the writing of this book. It’s embarrassingly bad, really. Star-Lord was NEVER like this until Bendis got his greedy little paws on the character. Even Gunn didn’t mangle the characterization as badly for…

Review: NINO Nova #23 & 24
In this cliché-filled arc, Duggan has NINO take on Hulk’s Hulk – also known as “Kluh,” and NINO un-believably manages to defeat him with the overdone “shoot the Hulk into space trick.” How many times have you seen that one? Too many. At least Duggan freely admits that he “shamelessly” copies the story ideas of…

Interstellar (2014) Review
Bringing Even More Credibility to Sci-FiA Film Review of Interstellar [[wysiwyg_imageupload:17820:]]Is Christopher Nolan waging a losing battle to save the art of Hollywood-style filmmaking? His most recent contribution to humanity’s collective creativity is yet another fine example of thought-provoking and entertaining storytelling via the finest audio-visual technology the good folks at Syncopy can provide. Yet, amidst…

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy #20 (Bendis)
It appears that Bendis has not read the history of the Nova concepts in general or The Thanos Imperative in particular. Or he did – and he just doesn’t care enough about the Rider character or his fans to make the effort to get anything right. Either way, he knows that zombies buy brands, and…

Review: NINO Nova #22
This one belongs on the shelf right next to My Little Pony so all the 8-year-old girls can get a copy. Really – IT IS THAT BAD. How any self-respecting, mentally-competent adult male can continue to buy this trash and visit comic book forums to insist that it is a good concept is beyond all…

Movie Review: Gone Girl (2014)
2014’s Fall Film Season Is Here!A Film Review of Gone Girl [[wysiwyg_imageupload:17406:]]David Fincher’s latest thriller starring Batfleck (aka Ben Affleck) and Rosamund Pike is the first exceptional film for the fall season which sets an appropriately devilish tone as we approach Halloween for a story layered with thought provoking plot, twists, surprises, shock, awe and an…

Review: Guardians 3000 #1
Now THAT’s more like it!Despite the “subtle bigotry of low expectations” perpetrated against this title by Brevoort and Alonso (hereinafter referred to as “Bonso”), it succeeds on nearly every level. And before I move on, I’d like to address Bonso’s ongoing bigotry against cosmic books, characters, and writers.Before this book was ever released, Brevoort made…

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy #19 (Bendis)
It’s no secret that I think Bendis’ run on this title has been a disaster for the concepts and characters. He may be the “go to guy” for street level stories, but he’s “lost in space.”Leave it to Bendis to stage a throw down in the collapsing Cancerverse between Thanos, Drax, (the real) Nova, Star-Lord,…
