GRIFT

I just finished his recent run on Uncanny and that is pretty much exactly how I feel about Claremont.

Ok, so The Black Fox playing Wii in the The Irredeemable Ant Man is pretty much the best thing I've seen happen in comics for ages.

Found this over at ComicVine:

While there are a few valid points, I thought the entire thing was overly nit-picky.

Ok, so like I said I've been playing a lot of catch up lately and I've moved on to Planet Hulk. Now, I haven't read much Hulk outside of the really early stuff (my ol' man had pretty much every Hulk comic until the 80's) and I have a question: When did Savage Hulk start putting together full sentences? Did it just start happening or was it explained? Is he growing up? I miss the broken English! Also, I read Hulk: Gray recently and I have to say it was one of my favorite limited series ever. The art was amazing, the psychological portrait of Banner was brilliant, and execution of the storytelling was flawless. I can't stress how much I loved it. Hell, one of the cover's is my wallpaper now. The art was such a neat and understated, beautiful throw back.

I know it will never happen, but I just had a horrible image of Steve Rogers in the Bucky costume.

VH1 Storytellers - I tried to avoid compilations, but the novelty of his lying through each story on this one is undeniable.

Yeah, after enjoying Cap and Daredevil, when I found out there was a Brubaker Doom mini I needed to have it. It didn't disappoint, it's definitely Doom done right, which isn't something that always happens these days. I think that is what is so great about Brubaker-- he is such a good throw back writer. He really captures the original voice of a character without making them seem antiquated. If you drop a Kirby creation in his hands it usually works out for the best. I haven't read any of his Daredevil stuff, when was his run with that?

I know I am coming to the party a little late on this, but I REALLY like Brubaker's run on Captain America. I missed out on comics for the last 4 years or so, but I've just recently grabbed Marvel's online digital library (surprisingly deep by the way-- pretty much covers from first prints all the way up to the Initiative) and I've been able to go through the whole Winter Soldier saga today. I have to say it has been one of my favorite Cap storylines.

Has anyone here read the limited series Books of Doom? I stumbled across it earlier today and it has been an enjoyable exploration of Victor Von Doom and his genesis. It isn't a re-imagining so much as it's an examination of Doom's rise and corruption that fills in a lot of blanks in his origin. I am surprised that it slipped under my radar for so long.

What excites me the most about Reynolds is that beyond being great for the role, he is a real fan of the character. Here is another interview where he echoes the sentiments about staying faithful to the comics that he shares in the MTV interview.

One Hit Wonders! Two from my favorite sub-genre of 90's music: Soundtrack Rock!

If nothing else this has proven that Rick James > Micheal Jackson.

I actually think that their list is pretty much perfect. The only swap I'd make would be to switch REM's spot with Nirvana.

John Popper's No Woman No Cry.

Bill Hader is utterly brilliant. His skits hearken back to some classic SNL. Between Dateline and Vinnie Verdecci he has put himself head and shoulders above Samburg for me-- and I really like Samburg. Also, I think that Will Forte and Kristen Wig have both really come into their own as of late. The show as a whole is definitely on one of its upswings again.

NUMFAR! DO THE DANCE OF MOURNING.

What about Burn Notice?

Tango and Cash. 7/10 As far as buddy cop movies go, this is a home run and Kurt Russell as a wild man > Mel Gibson any day of the week.

Crank 2 can't go wrong for me if only because the tag line on the newest poster is: He was dead... but he got better.

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce.

Really? I thought it was great.
