Messiah Complex, Chapter 5, X-Men #205.

Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

Getting Up: DMZ #23

DMZ’s consistenly been one of my favourite series. I like Vertigo stuff as a whole, but this seems to be a departure from the normal future/fantasy/superhero stuff, which is good every once and awhile. For those who haven’t read, or even heard of the series before, it’s about a Journalist who has been stranded in the DMZ, the island of Manhattan which has been ravaged by a new Civil War. As he’s on the inside, Matty Roth must report on the people and goings-on of the DMZ without getting himself shot in the process.

Chapter 4 – New X-Men #44

Blessed are the children, Blessings and Joy shall be theirs

Theirs is a Dream of Hope,

That they shall not be the Last

Review : Action Comics #859 – “The only good alien..”

Action Comics #859 by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank was released this week. This issue continues the “Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes” storyline, a tale of Superman and his childhood friends facing persecution and peril in the far future. In the 30th century, aliens are hunted and imprisoned, all in the name of Superman. The Legion and Superman need to rescue their team members and avoid being captured by this future’s version of the Justice League. This shouldn’t really be a big deal for Supes, except for the fact that the Earth’s Sun is RED, leaving him powerless.

Take the jump for the rest of the review.

Maus is in the House!

Nice to see some awesome comic book writers in the mainstream.  Alan Moore is a tank.  Didn’t see the episode myself, but I probably will, soon.

Batman and the Outsiders: Screw you guys, I’m going home.

So, every once and awhile Batman gets pissed off and decides that the Justice League are too goody-goody to get what he wants done. Superman and the others won’t lie, cheat, steal, or generally bend the rules to achieve what needs to happen, so he leaves in a huff, adds another child into his stable of assassins, and if he’s feeling especially randy, creates a super-team of his own. This my friends, is the premise of The Outsiders.

Let us see this thing

which is come to pass, which Cerebro has made known unto us.

The Rat Review

I got around to seeing Ratatouille tonight, and I credit my French-Canadian roots for being able to spell the title correctly. While it’s kind of ironic that I’m doing a review on a movie that revolves around food and food criticism, I’ll do it anyway.

Pixar seems to be on a streak for the past decade; they really did another great job on this film.

Robotech: American cartoon epic or best anime dub ever made?

I’m going to start off by stating the obvious. Robotech was awesome. This is pretty common knowledge. For those who don’t know, Robotech was an adaptation of 3 separate anime series into one new series intended for distribution in America. The ensuing result went from a debatable risk to one of the greatest sci-fi works ever made. But is it really still an anime?
