REVIEW: Uncle Sam and The Freedom Fighters #1
A city devastated by metahumans. Political intrigue and post-9/11 fear-mongering. Heroes pitted against the government and each other, forced to choose between wildly uneven sides. Marvel’s Civil War? No, actually, it’s DC’s Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters #1, “from the pages of Brave New World” and spinning out of the events of the Battle
Superman Returns, Disappoints, May Disappear Again and Take His Friends With Him
The initial weekend estimates are in and, like Lex Luthor with Kryponite, it’s bad news for the Man of Steel as Superman Returns pulled in a mere $11.6 million in its third week, bringing its total domestic box office to $163,648,000 and pretty much guaranteeing that it will fall short of the $200m mark that’s
CBC Quickees: Death, Villains and more…
Just as I decide to drastically cut back my pull list, a slew of great new comics are seemingly coming out every other week now, including a couple of unexpected treats from DC thanks to Brave New World. At this rate, I may have to stop drinking just to keep up! Let’s do this… Death

Say What?: 6/28/06
“I felt that Marvel wasn’t doing comics that reflected this generation. For better or worse, we live in the hip-hop era, and Spider-Man was the Beatles. I love Spider-Man and I love the Beatles, but what about kids who listen to Kanye West?”–Reginald Hudlin, THE WEDDING PLANNER: REGGIE HUDLIN Q&A “Maybe I’m wrong, but it
Comment: Spider-Man 3 Trailer
Needless to say, I’m really psyched about this trailer. F@*% Superman Returns, we want Spidey! Great move on Marvel’s part to release the trailer publicly before the movie opens. (Fill in fanboy rant here) While surfing the web, I saw that everyone had pictures of Sandman and Spider-Man, but it seems that many people forgot
