DC Solits for Oct 2008
July 21st, 2008 rjp Posted in Comic Books, DC Comics, Solicitations No Comments »
The Dark Knight - Meh!
July 21st, 2008 rjp Posted in Comic Books, DC Comics, Television / Movies, The Dark Knight 3 Comments »
Maybe it is just the mood I am in but this movie, started great but went from okay to predictable to WTF re: Harvey Dent. Overall I am very MEH on The Dark Knight. If this is the future of comic book movies then please stop now. Let me enjoy the comics as comics, stop with this meh movies. I mean Bale was good, Caine, Freeman, Gyllenhaal and Oldman were great, if Ledger was anything but exceptional then it would have been a major disappointment but to me Aaron Eckhart stole the movie (as I a bigger Two-Face than Joker fan) and it was the ending which reminded me of why I hated the Tim Burton original version of The Batman.
RANT: Watchmen trailer hits the ‘net and BtS ain’t impressed!
July 17th, 2008 rjp Posted in Comic Books, DC Comics, Rants, Television / Movies, Watchmen 21 Comments »
Heads up to Hartley who sent me an early email that the Watchmen trailer for leaked but I think soon after it did, the trailer went up all official on the Apple site here:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/watchmen/
As much as I enjoyed seeing the Owlship come out of the waters in front of downtown Vancouver (then CGI into New York is it?), I couldn’t care for what I saw and it really made me realize that I never wanted to see this comic book series (f***k GRAPHIC NOVEL, I know and understand that it got MUCH more popular via the graphic novel version but that doesn’t mean it EVER WAS ONE TO BEGIN WITH YOU IGNORANT F***KS DC COMICS! Ah hem…) as a movie. It would be like someone making my favorite childhood memory into a movie, it just won’t happen. I was not a fan of the new costumes and I still ain’t. Rorschach (aka The Question), looks far too CLEAN for my likings plus if that is the voice for Rorschach — how LAME, why another Batman/Christan Bale ripe-off (?), Night Owl (aka Blue Beetle) looks like Batman with Hawkman’s headpiece and in shape (WTF!?!?! — Anyone READ the WATCHMEN while making the movie?!), Ozymandias just looks BORING in black & greys plus what he’s all of 16 yrs old (and I mean BORING — like I would prefer the plastic ears of the 80’s Captain America costume compared to that sh*t), Silk Spectre looks frightfully like they really wish they cast ANYONE else, The Comedian (aka Peacemaker) looks like he’s still the only one having fun for the 2 mins he’s in the movie and Jar Jar… I mean Dr. Manhattan (aka Captain Atom) is yet another CGI character in a movie. *YAWN*
Seriously, is anyone excited about this movie? I sure ain’t, I know I will go see it just to be sure how bored I will be but I ain’t excited to see this movie, the trailer or the f***king action figures at SDCC this year at all. Nope.
Now make me The Question movie and I am all over it! Better yet, Ambush Bug!
Oh and here is one other thing that bugs that sh**t outta me while watching this trailer? Why are they not talking about the story itself? Why are not selling the line “Who watches the Watchmen?“. Why tell me, the viewer, how f***king popular that graphic novel was / is or will be. F***k if I care, tell me about the movie yeah Yahoos! DC gets a FAIL on this marketing attempt!
Cover Addiction: Ambush Bug: Year None #3
July 17th, 2008 rjp Posted in Comic Books, Cover Addiction, DC Comics 5 Comments »
I really should be sleeping but since I am on the phone booking a hotel, here is this…
How is Ambush Bug: Year None #3 not a good cover? No, I got no answer to this, I really don’t know what could be wrong about this cover? It is just great and one reason I would snag it off the shelves so fast it would make yer head spin!
Oh and Keith Giffen talks AB:YN on CBR here:

Best Bang Reborn #4: July 9th comics
July 10th, 2008 rjp Posted in Best Bang, Comic Books, DC Comics, Final Crisis, Image Comics, Marvel Comics, Secret Invasion, yays & nahs 2 Comments »
It is a crazy day but last night, after seeing Hellboy II, I got home late and read all my comics so I could get the Best Bang Reborn #4: Comics for July 9th out for today! From Final Crisis: Requiem for Martian Manhunter to Nick Fury coming out in Secret Invasion #4 over to Trinity!
Again I picked up my stuff from Hourglass Comics out in Port Moody.
Final Cri$i$: Requiem for a Martian Dream
July 9th, 2008 rjp Posted in Comic Books, DC Comics, Final Crisis No Comments »
The Martian Manhunter talks… okay well maybe not J’onnn J’onzz himself (since yeah know, he’s dead and all) but Peter Tomasi talks Final Cri$i$: Requiem for a Martian Dream. Some interesting bits..
“J’onn’s death will have repercussions, some on a smaller interpersonal level, but also on a larger scale when the rage and anger as a result of his death is channeled by some of the big guns, especially Hal Jordan, into other outlets. “
FINALLY!!
“J’onn is dead and buried by the people who loved and cared about him. “
Yeah well I ain’t holding my breathe that J’onn is dead.

Best Bang Reborn #3: July 4th & June 25th, 2008
July 6th, 2008 rjp Posted in Best Bang, Comic Books, DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Dynamite, Final Crisis, Image Comics, Marvel Comics, Secret Invasion, Warren Ellis 13 Comments »
This week is a mash-up in this week’s Best Bang to include last week’s Canada Day books! From Warren Ellis pissing me off on Astonishing X-Men to Batman R.I.P to Angel making me shake my head, we have lots here. Included is last weeks Final Cri$i$ making me realize that I hate it when people try to show me how smart they are in comics, The (red) Hulk mystery continues and Mark Millar’s Fantastic Four keeps frustrating me. Since I have not gone to the island of Vancouver lately, these books come to you from Port Moody’s Hourglass Comics.
Oh and Happy Independence Day yeah bunch of colonists down south!
BtS RANT: Is Final Crisis like The Infinity Gauntlet?
July 3rd, 2008 rjp Posted in Comic Books, DC Comics, Final Crisis, Marvel Comics, Rants 7 Comments »
So while I am still on my back pain meds this thought came to me. I stopped working on the Best Bang Reborn issue 3, I stopped working (not great but I needed to write this down) and I got thinking, writing and blogging…
Is Final Crisis like The Infinity Gauntlet?
