  1. Elect yourself head of the Validity Committee and call her Party Planning invalid. Fixes everything. Yes, but what will they do when the power goes to his head. And he starts demanding that the hot setting on the hot water cooler goes up an extra 2 degrees? And conversely says that the cold water isn't cold enough. You're just opening a can of worms, Ackerman!
  2. Batman: Life after death: Tony Daniel is a great artist, and a god awful writer. The dialogue feels stilted. and the conclusion to who Black Mask is just comes out of nowhere. If I hadn't read Jeremy Haun's Arkham Asylum story, none of this would have made sense, and The Riddler story at the end was just confusing. Wolverine: First Class: Class actions: The one issue about The Multiple Man here was one of the best single issues I've read this year. It brought up and answered the question of what happens when a multiple man clone, decides he doesn't want to be absorbed again. The rest of the issues are not dull, either. Most of the issues are one and dones, but that doesn't stop them being enjoyable and making me care about Kitty Pryde. Avengers VS X-Men:It's coming: This was just a preview book, telling the back story of AVX, but at the same time, just being a preview for other Marvel trades, so, not really a trade, as much as it is just a nice little preview of the previously important stories for the X-Men. Trades: 43 Comics: 6
  3. Last nights How I Met Your Mother may have been one of the best they've ever done. If only those last 45 seconds/final joke that fell flat, didn't suck.
  4. Batman: Broken City: Pretty dull. A detective story, that just sort of goes on and on, then ends Columbo style. I usually enjoy Eduardo Risso's art, but here, it felt either lazy or rushed, as everything looked just bland. Simpsons: On the road: Fun, but suffers the same problem as nearly all Simpsons stories, returns to the status quo. The art was good, and felt like the show, and although the stories returned to the status quo, was still fun. Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Volume 1: Fun, but the problem was, every issue has a last page resolve to the story, which sort of sucked, but enjoyable. It's aimed at kids who enjoyed the show, not me, so I can understand some of the issues, but it was still a fun, but short read. Trades: 40 Comics: 6
  5. Simpson's Comics: Barn Burner: Fun one in done stories, harmless in the grand scheme of things, and as standard for most Simpsons stories, the status quo is returned by the end of each issue. Teen Titans: Beast Boys and Girls: Was interesting reading a story based about Beast Boy, who I've never cared for. But now, he's not so bad, not a top tier Titan, or very relatable, but still interesting now. Teen Titans: Death Trap: A crossover between the titans, teen titans and vigilante, with all three wanting to take down Jericho. Was interesting, nice to see that years of Jericho using his meta powers to control people has left completely insane, but the actual story itself, was just ok at best. Superman/Batman: Torment: This entire book felt like a poor commission piece at a convention for Dustin Nguyen, I love his art, but it just doesn't fit the world of Apokolips, or Darkseid. The story itself was ok, but sort of lacked any tension, with everyone just plodding along, for no real reason, and like with the Simpsons comics, the status quo returned to exactly where it was before the end of the book. Trades: 37 Comics: 6
  6. I completed Gears of War just a few minutes ago, along with the "Extra" hour for some backstory to 3. Games about 5 hours long, and is alright, but not great, felt a lot like 3, in that ending, and the final boss are just a bit crap.
  7. Please be Keanu Reeves, please be Keanu Reeves.
  8. Is it just me, or is the current series of Archer, really not as strong as series 1-3. The episodes involving the bigger series storyline, are all well written, with some great dialogue, but other ones, like the past two or three episodes have just felt kind of forced with only one or two good jokes, compared to the usual standard of a great joke every few minutes. Edit: I just finished Milk. at first, I thought it was ok, but then I watched the special features and how all Harvey's friends at the time contributed to the production, and the actors talking about the film I realised that only three characters are actually fleshed out in the film, to the point where I could actually remember their names, and what they did, most of the characters just sort of came and went, and then just said things to Harvey out of nowhere like "Are you sure about this bill?" the films over two hours long, and yet somehow it still feels like it just rushed through nearly everything, The ending with "Where are they now" sequences I actually had to pause and say "Who's that? What did they do? He was in this?"

    HD remakes

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6N0PzqF9gWY Seeing as it's a HD remake, this seemed to be the best place to put this. But yeah, I can't wait for this.
  10. I don't really care about Minecraft, but the effort put into this video was amazing. Thanks to Bleeding Cool for posting the original link.

    DC reboot

    Is it just me, or did Tony Daniel seem like a bit of a dick in his comments of "I think he made the wrong choice telling DC to fuck off." he didn't have to bring up Diggle and give his opinion on the matter, also, DC made a big thing of Diggle and Daniel being the new creative team to follow Morrisons run, so for him to turn around and say "I was only ever going to be on for three issues" seems like serious amounts of bullshit.

    DC reboot

    That, and it might get them a Marvel style story on some prominent websites, which in theory would bring in new readers, or idiots who think the book will be worth something more than cover price. Anyway, some more Bleeding Cool rumours, Karen Berger supposedly told a writer not to take his recent work to Vertigo, back when she was the EIC for it. http://www.bleedingc..._medium=twitter That may just be nothing, and just BC getting extra readership, but still, interesting that all this stuff is coming out of the woodwork at once.

    DC reboot

    Trinity War was never announced to have a set start date, so them teasing it, without having a full idea, is not a real issue, to me atleast. Them announcing creators for books, only for said creators to say "Fuck this, I quit" is an issue. Speaking of Nick Spencer, he recently revealed one of his issue plans for Supergirl, and yeah, seems he to has dealt with the annoying DC editors: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/nick-spencer-shows-supergirl-plans.html
  14. Nope, it's just a very mediocre Bond film, Casino Royale was mostly set up for QOS, and rather than give a satisfying conclusion to a two part story, it decided to just be very dull. On TMNT, because all the turtles were wise crackers, and making pop culture jokes, there was no need for Mikey, and because there was no need for anyone to be a genius, that rendered Donnie obsolete as well. Peter's a real dick in ASM, he destroys the backing board in the gym, and doesn't even apologise, the money he cost them was taking from the glee club, and they weren't able to make it to sectionals to beat William McKinley high. That, and Peter was just a bit unlikable in the film, and a bit to sure of himself, before he was bitten by the spider, whereas Maguire's version, was really a plain nerd until he was bitten by the spider.

    DC reboot

    http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/03/21/john-stewart-he-lives/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter So, supposedly DC heard the outcry of support for John Stewart (Like when Gail Simone was fired) and have re-evaluated the situation (Like when Gail Simone was fired) and have returned to the original status quo. If true, and DC have fallen to the impact of the internet in about 36 hours, then that company has worse issues than editors who think their better writers, than the writers they hire.

  17. Young Avengers: Sidekicks: The debut of the Young Avengers, and it was awesome, I've never read anything featuring the YA before, but by the end, I cared about most of the members, outside of Patriot, who they tried to make a young Batman, for some reason. The story was interesting and different enough to keep me entertained, each young Avenger had a distinctive voice, which was good, and the art by Jim Cheung was nice as well. The OMAC Project: Good, but nothing special. This tried to come across as a serious epic story, but because half of the story took place in another book, and had to be explained in a recap page, and the OMAC's are dull villains, I just couldn't really care about anything that was happening.

Red Lanterns is now being written by Charles Soule.
  20. Catwoman: Nine lives of a femme fatale: This compilation of Catwoman stories was hit and miss, the first several stories, were misses, they just seemed so stupid, and the cat puns were all horrible. In one story, Selina goes straight, but returns to a life of crime, because a paper says Batman knocked her straight, even though Batman comes to tell her the paper lied, she still decides to go through a life of crime, the story sucked. In the next story, she turns Superman into a cat, and Superman still has his superpowers, and can talk to Lois through a typewriter because, well, why not. This was a stupid story, but was actually fun, for how odd it was. Next Catwoman gets jealous of Batman and Batgirl, so turns back to a life of crime, so's that Batman will marry her, and not Batgirl. Then Catwoman finds 8 convicts and trains them to be her to obtain a rare gem, however they are easily defeated by Batman. Then there's the story of the night Batman and Catwoman wanted to just have sex on the rooftop, but they couldn't because crime doesn't take a break for nookie. Then the story of Catwoman stealing a rare diamond, for the challenge of "Can you top this?" with herself. Then a story of Selina saving cats being abused by a cosmetic company. And finally, a one issue story from Ed Brubaker's run. The book was dull and cheesey and filled with awful cat puns for the first half, but got interesting during the "Batman and Catwoman want to do it" issue, and started to be enjoyable from there. Super-Dragon Volumes 1-2: This was the stupidest idea for a comic I've read in a while, but it was so fun. A t-rex is shrunk down to 9 feet tall, and is given a mech suit to fight over dinosaur villains, and a ten year old sidekick who uses a hoverboard called "Wheels" A great fun comic, with an interesting super villain, and I'm looking forward to finding volume 3, if and when it comes out. Trades: 31 Comics: 6

    DC reboot

    Shit drops downhill, not up. The management at DC is so focused on numbers, and the editors sometimes are so focused on getting the story they want out, rather than a good story, that links up with the characters history, keeps in line with the rest of the DC Universe at that stage, and is free of spelling and grammar, and art mistakes that actually makes the book enjoyable. I think the stuff at DC is going to get a lot worse, with lots of titles having low retailer sales, and more people walking off books, before anything gets any better.

    And now, according to Bleeding Cool, Joshua Hale Fialkov has lefter the Green Lantern books, as with Diggle, this is before any of his issues have came out. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/03/20/235086/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
  23. Yeah, it's now showing, whereas before it said the video didn't exist. Looks cool.
