Yes. It is back! The Hartley Show is back on the air and we got it right here for all your comic reviews PLUS Hartley talks Batman RIP! Check it out, good fun! As always shot on location from POW Comics!

I hope to one day go see a “filming” of the show and/or get Hartley on BtS blogging when he’s not busy with Hollyweird and all! Was great to see Hartley at the Vancouver Comicon a few weeks ago with William S!

Part II continues here…

BTW – This is NOT Work Safe to watch (f**cking swearing and what nots)!

It is too bad that Hartley loved Batman RIP but hey, can’t be right all the time about books! :P Hehee… we all know Hartley is wrong ’cause RIP was as For the Love of Comics blogged about how it was more like Batman RIP-Off (Kudo’s to Dustin for being on Thoughts of Batman RIP post for Blog@Newsarama.com)!

I have one big point to make on what Hartley said – Yes Batman is a serial and things need to keep moving but that did not stop older Batman comics to come to a fricken conclusion. Batman: Kightfall, we didn’t get a vague sense of WTF happened, we saw Bane break Batmans back. Batman: Death in the Family – was it a kinda huh wha? when Robin died? Nope, it was right in your face with the conclusion. No, no, Grant Morrison failed in Batman RIP. Enough with the vague mythos and give some solid f**cking storytelling please OR piss off and let someone else take a shot!

Boldly going where no Alias has gone before…

Are you ready for Sylar as Spock? A young punk J. T. Kirk? Nick Angel as Scotty and Ben Cross coming out from a rock to be a villain?

Well I am but at the same time I feel I need a great deal of salt to deal with how much they plan on changing EVERYTHING in the Star Trek world. Will it spin off new movies and shows? Hmm?

This is just for William S today. Crank up the tunes and sing along. I love the shot of the guys dressed up as Skrulls, looks like that was from Emerald Con Mondo Marvel panel I went to (or it looks like the guys from Emerald Con) which is kinda kewl.

The Hartley Show: Sept 22/08

[flash http://www.youtube.com/v/fAhGBkTKPkY&hl=en&fs=1 w=400 h=324]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAhGBkTKPkY

Hartley dishes out his love for Superman, Batman, Action Comics, Geoff Johns (gah, I do hope Johns doesn’t end up a DC version of Bendis for me) and then his dislike for Checkmate #29 along with the rest of his reviews on Action Comics #868, Brave and the Bold #15, Flash #243, The Last Defenders #6, Green Lantern Corps # 27. Since most of these titles, I do not pick-up, I can’t say if they are good / bad so yeah.

I did love both The Last Defenders #6 & Green Lantern Corps # 27 so we agree on those books!

Here is Part II with Booster Gold #11, Justice League of America #24, FireBreather #2, StormWatch #13, and the Midnighter trade vol. 2.

Hartley is too nice on Justice League of America #24 — the Zatanna bit where she just appears out of no where was LAME and I am huge Dwayne McDuffie fan but yeah, I think I ranted about this issue on this BtS Best Bang Reborn here (scroll down, I gave it two leafs outta five!)! That said, I completely agree with regarding StormWatch: Worlds End book. Hartley’s review of the Midnighter trade has me interested in the book, might pick it up now.

We have failed! Embrace Change!

Embrace Change!

Okay so I have seen the Embrace Change tweaks for a bit now on Twitter but last night the Skrulls had a commercial broadcast on ESPN2 in the USA. Now they have launched their own website (which redirects to a sub-site on the wonderful Marvel website). It makes me think that there is no way that the Skrulls loose this war after Secret Invasion. I cannot see all the Marvel marketing machine going to such hype just for the entire story to end / change drastically in a few months if the Skrulls lose! Nah, I think this is just going to lead into Dark Reign even more than we think. Check out the site:

http://www.embracechange.org

And if you are in the USA, you can see the commericals here:
http://splashpage.mtv.com/2008/09/17/exclusive-check-out-marvels-mutant-friendly-tv-spots-for-embrace-change-and-the-stand/

Oh and the Skrulls have a press release (cute!)
(snagged from a CBR article here: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18088)

To all of Earth, we are the alien race you know as Skrulls. We wish to offer a few words to you about recent events. You have so much potential. You have so much to offer. Your future can be bright and without war, poverty, and fear. All you have to do is let us help. We come not as an alien armada. We are not invading your lands as conquerors. We are here to help you. We can cure all that is wasting this world. We bring with us a message, one that can be easily translated into any language. Please share this with your brothers and sisters, for it is a simple message that can help us all in the days to come: EMBRACE CHANGE.

Check out the video…

The Harley Show: Final Crisis

[flash http://www.youtube.com/v/NQcEdZ4ZhVw&hl=en&fs=1 w=400 h=324]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQcEdZ4ZhVw

So last week it was Secret Invasion, this week it is Hartley on Final Crisis. I wonder if Hartley will go into how much FC feels like its talking down to us peons?

Here is part II:

[flash http://www.youtube.com/v/L5f-ELX8cOk&hl=en&fs=1 w=400 h=324]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5f-ELX8cOk

Oh and if you want to hear what Grant Morrison thought about Final Crisis #3, check out the good interview by Matt Brady @ Newsarama:
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090808-MorrisonFC3.html

Good questions but I still felt that GM has missed the point of making a book that does not need offline / online references as such to understand it. I went and did a quick read of FC #3 this weekend (before the Newsarama article) and I still feel that there is SOOO MUCH going on that the casual reader would have NO IDEA of the frig is going on. This harks back to what Robert Kirkman was saying on his recent vidcast about how the Big 2 (DC & Marvel) are writing comics to the elder geeks and not the casual fan. Sure FC can come off that is it a great book when a casual fan learns about all the bits and pieces but generally it comes off like a art house movie for a small audience (the elder geeks) rather than giving a solid, straight-forward story.

Thanks for the Heroes comic!

Thanks for the Heroes comic!

As the newest HEROES season is about to begin, I wanted to give out a big thanks to BJ @ M80 for sending me two exclusive Comic-Con Heroes comic books! I meant to put this call out a while ago when I got the books but it has been insane for me lately. The book is one of those short marketing comics but some great short stories by the likes of Mark Sable, Yule Caise, Chuck Kim and stunning artists like Jason Badower, Peter Steigerwald & Marcus To! Kudos and remember to check out the videos about the Heroes Create-A-Hero campaign:

The Hartley Show for Aug. 28th!

[flash http://www.youtube.com/v/HgNiDn8HIJc&hl=en&fs=1 w=400 h=324]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgNiDn8HIJc

Hartley talks Batman R.I.P. and I like his suggetion of Hugo Strange as the big bad! I have to disargee that Batman of Zur-En-Arrh is allowed to become The Punisher which breaks the character for me, no matter how messed up his head is. I agree with Hartley’s thoughts on Dini’s work on Detective Comics!

Re: Red Hulk. I was extremely happy to see Red Hulk beat the sh**t outta Thor (Hate Thor as much as I hate Cyclops, bring back Thor-Frog!), I could care less about the hammer bit, any time a beat down can be handed to Thor, I love it!

Oh , wait, look the Hartley show continues here with part II…

[flash http://www.youtube.com/v/PHGvZG8XdUY&hl=en&fs=1 w=400 h=324]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHGvZG8XdUY

Okay so my feedback after watching the vid, X-Men #501 was blah. Cyclops sucks balls and not in a good way – EVER! Pixie does nothing for me and why does Greg Land have to always have woman in so many sexy shots, maybe it gets boring to see.
