Happenstance Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Just watched the Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam mini movie thing. It was pretty good, Captain Marvel is a character I keep meaning to read more of so it was nice to see an animated origin for him and Black Adam is always awesome. Its a shame it was only 23 minutes long but it'd be nice if that was just the first planned to test the waters with the character. Gonna watch that DC history dvd they released this year next, supposed to be good as well. Just watching the Marvel press conference on next years event, "Fear Itself". Apparently its the Marvel Heroes Vs the God of Fear and its being done by Fraction and Immonen so should be good. 7 issues starting in April.
ReZourceman Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Sick. Fraction and Immonen is an insane creative team. Fricking A.
Happenstance Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 I think it's interesting that Phobos wasn't mentioned in the conference until someone asked a specific question about him, makes you wonder who the god of fear will actually be.

Retro_Link Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Sick. Fraction and Immonen is an insane creative team. Fricking A. Who be the Dracula lookalike? and the guy left of Iron Man?... Bucky?
ReZourceman Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Who be the Dracula lookalike? and the guy left of Iron Man?... Bucky? Believe that is Dracula' date=' and the guy next to Iron Man is Steve Rogers (the original Captain America) but Bucky is the new Captain America, so he is just "Steve Rogers" now, he leads the Secret Avengers now, basically super hero espionage spy action. Very cool.[/color']
Dante Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 DC for March solicitations is out. My fav covers:
ReZourceman Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Ha! Awesome spoiler review of Incinbile 75
Happenstance Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I assume (or hope) im not the only one who hasnt been able to get on "that" site for about a week now?
Paj! Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I come back from uni to find "that site" is gone/dead/m.i.a. I am cry/I R artichoke.
Happenstance Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Oh yeah I finished watching Secret Origin: The History of DC Comics. It was very good, gave a lot of nice insight into the changes DC has gone through over the years and it was nice to see positive mentions of Marvel from time to time. Only thing I found a shame was that the Modern Age of comics didnt get covered for as long as the others, I know its the one we all know the most about anyway but its still interesting to see it talked about. Id recommend anyone with an interest in DC to give it a watch.
Dan_Dare Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I come back from uni to find "that site" is gone/dead/m.i.a. I am cry/I R artichoke. Hard to say if it's properly gone or not- last time it was just a database error and it came back soon enough.
Happenstance Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 It looks to me to be another database error, they dont seem to be very good over there
Happenstance Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Id disagree with the New Avengers review, I like these downtime issues and I thought the search for the new nanny was pretty good though. As usual though I do agree with you about Bendis' writing getting annoying.

As usual though I do agree with you about Bendis' writing getting annoying. Yeah I might have been a little harsh. I mean...I do like these issues...but its like...I guess the thing that annoys me, is that we had a 6 issue arc that had pretty much nothing happen/.....EASILY could have been done in 4 issues, and it just seems like this issue could have been merged with one of them.
Happenstance Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah very good story, I keep meaning to get more of the trades as I only own the first one.
Daft Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I think my brother has the whole lot so after Book 1 I'm just going to raid his collection.
Happenstance Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I remember Shia Leboof was offered the movie but he claimed the character was too much like his Transformers one so turned it down
Daft Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 After watching The Losers (I loved, btw) I think Chris Evans should play him.
Oxigen_Waste Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Coolio, whodunnit? I never really got why Y is so loved. Not saying it's bad, because it isn't (at all), but it just seems to be a tad bit overrated, to me. Though, to be honest, everything this generation gets a bit blown out of proportion, as far as I'm concerned, lol.
Happenstance Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 After watching The Losers (I loved, btw) I think Chris Evans should play him. I do like Chris Evans but I dont think he has the "everyman" look that would be needed for Y
Oxigen_Waste Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I do like Chris Evans but I dont think he has the "everyman" look that would be needed for Y True. He looks too much like an action hero.
