Deadpool #49.1 Jan31

Deadpool #49.1

Marvel released its latest round of point-one comics last week, among them Deadpool #49.1. Like any other "point-one" issue, this was a side-story bonus for readers featuring everyone's favourite "Merc with a Mouth." If that weren't enough, the book was written as a musical. Considering that irresistible combination, the issue had to be remarked on. Onward to the review!

Stuff from NYCC 2011

This past weekend was New York Comic Con.  This would be an event I would love to go to someday (San Diego being the other convention I’d love to go to).  Since I wasn’t there, and away from my computer all weekend, I spent the beginning of this week checking out the interwebs...

Uncanny X-Force #15

Last week the Dark Angel Saga continued with issue 15 of Remender's rendition of the X-Force, bringing the team's dream of saving Worthington closer to its conclusion. What they found once they returned was instead their worst nightmare staring them coldly in the eyes. This week we're taking a look at the latest issue of Uncanny X-Force.

Fear Itself: Deadpool #1 Jun14

Fear Itself: Deadpool #1

Fear Itself is the biggest comic event this summer. Large, strong, burly chracters are getting hammers left and right, transforming into these cool god-like bad-asses. In all this you may be asking, "where's Deadpool? What's Wade up to?" To answer that question, friends, I've entertained looking at Deadpool's participation in this little summer event. It's Hamma-time!

March M.O.D.O.K. Madness!

Perhaps one of the strangest characters in the Marvel Mythos is M.O.D.O.K. Originally, the character started out as George Tarleton who created the Cosmic Cube. A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics) changed Tarleton into the being known as M.O.D.O.C. (Mental Organism Designed for...

Undervalued Spotlight #79

X-Force #2, Marvel Comics, September 1991 I’ll follow up last week’s modern with one more. Next week I’m diving right back into the old stuff! I wish I sold some of my comics in March 2010. That was one crazy month. March 2010 saw a CGC 8.5 copy of Action Comics #1 sell for $1.5 million...

I am dying to play the new Scott Pilgrim video game. Unfortunately I am an Xbox 360 owner (my tag is BCGrendel316 if you ever want to murder me in Halo) so I’ve got to wait a few weeks until it comes out for my system. In the case of Scott Pilgrim, a video game is just meant to be. ...

More Marvel Stripped Cover...

Really? I like Jason Aaron and  I’m looking forward to Wolverine #1 like most people, but I just don’t much care for these sales tactics. I mean – let’s be honest here; who even gets variants anymore? But maybe that’s just my biased and anti-90s nostalgia. plus:...

For a while now, DC and it’s parent company Time-Warner, have been trying to figure out Marvel’s movie making secret. “Why do we only have one movie franchise anyone cares about and they have a few?” Here’s a hint DC, start in your own animation department! While DC has...

Just A Thought: Deadpool

Deadpool is everywhere. Okay well maybe not everywhere but everywhere in the comic rack. Deadpool seems to be this year’s flavor of comic book. Created in the early 90′s as a villain for the New Mutants/X-Force, his current rise began just before the Wolverine movie came out but...
