Superman's New Power

Recently in DC's Superman issue #38, the Man of Steel was given his first new power since 1949, the Super Flare! This power allows Superman to expel all the solar energy that his cells have soaked up in a huge blast. Unfortunately, this leaves him powerless for a day or two. This will probably be used to put Superman in situations where he has to use his brains in stead of his brawn because he wouldn't be able to beat the enemy into submission.

CW's The Flash Introduces Grodd

In the last couple of episodes of CW's the Flash, we got our first look at the shows version of long standing Flash villain, Gorilla Grodd. The show has so far managed to make amazing, realistic effects on its low budget, and this 7' tall behemoth is no exception. As with many of the villains on the show, Grodd has a different origin than the comics. Instead of being a member of a race of super intelligent apes, Grodd is now a normal gorilla that gained his telepathic abilities from the particle accelerator explosion. It hasn't been confirmed, but it seems that Dr. Wells purposely had Grodd exposed to the explosion, so that Grodd could serve some sort of purpose. The Flash is currently on break, but when it returns expect to see more of Gorilla Grodd!

Are you lost? Watch the Flash on the CW, 8/9c!

Red Lantern Guy Gardner

I recently picked up a Red Lantern comic, something I don't usually do. Apparently the hot-headed Green Lantern Guy Gardner had replaced his green ring for a red one once again. This change could not be more welcome with me! This guy was always getting into fight with other members of the Green Lantern Corp, so what better corp to switch to than the one fueled by rage! I'm pretty sure he originally joined the corp to go undercover, but I have a feeling he won't be leaving for a while, seeing that he is now on of the most popular Red Lanterns, more so than Atrocitus, but less than Dex-Starr. On the other hand, by putting Guy in the Red Lantern Corp, DC has made him a more important character. Up until that point he had just been an angry GL, but now he has character and purpose. Also, he lost the dorky hair.

Speaking of Red Lanterns, I've also found that Supergirl had been one. This surprised me since I hadn't remembered her as being so angry. Also, I think Dex-Starr is the best Red Lantern ever. If you haven't read his short origin, you should check it out. You can find a video about it by YouTuber Comicstorian.

Lobo Review

I loved the old Lobo, in all his fraggin' glory. He was like a cross between Superman, Wolverine, and a biker. Now they have given Lobo his own series, but there is some guy that looks like a college student on the cover. Well, spoiler alert, because this is the "actual" Lobo, and the other fraggin' Lobo just took his name. Here's where the story starts; the new Lobo just killed the fraggin' Lobo and got arrested, blah blah hired to kill eight assassins, blah blah new team of annoying humans. Don't think this means I don't like the book, I do, but they could have kept the fraggin' Lobo around at least, and not have killed him.

Flash Review

The Flash has almost reached its mid season finally, so I think it's about time to write a review. So far, we've seen Barry Allen go up against many of his signature baddies, such as Weather Wizard, Captain Cold, Plastique, and the Mist, and learn how to better use his powers. Not even half way through the season, The Flash is running up vertical surfaces, across water, and punching the iron of a meta's face. If you haven't watched the show, you won't get that.

Then there is the Professor Zoom thing. It's obviously Dr. Wells. He can actually walk, he stabs people, and has a subscription to a newspaper from the future! It's almost as if they WANT us to think he is Prof- Wait, that's it! They want us to think he is Prof. Zoom, so when they reveal he's not, we're surprised! Or maybe they just think we're oblivious. Either way, looking forward to talking about the Flash/Arrow special!

Oh, by the way, looking forward to seeing the Atom, Firestorm, Killer Frost,Mirror Master, and Cap. Boomerang. I know they're coming, but not when.

SO SORRY!

I am so sorry that I have not posted at all for the past few months! I have been so busy that I simply forgot! I figure that you will need a recap of what has happened so far:

-Thor: The Dark World was even more amazing than the first one.

-The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will feature the Rhino, Electro and Harry Osborn as the Green (or Hob) Goblin.

-Netflix will be making 4 series about Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and some other guy that will lead to an Ultimates movie.

-The Justice League has supposedly been killed by the Crime Syndicate (heard that one before), but the Rogues, A.R.G.U.S., and Lex Luthor don't seem happy about it. Also, the Crime Syndicate got its own comic, Forvever Evil.

-Villains Week was the bomb.

-The Man of Steel sequel with feature Batman, and maybe the rest of the Justice League!

That was all the big stuff that I could remember, but there was probably more. I will try to post more often, but no promises! Also, on my youtube channel, I made two new Minecraft series that you should check out! Enjoy the photo montage!

Trinity War Finale!!!

This is a complete spoiler so if you have yet to read the ending of this awesome event- stop reading. So, it turns out that Pandora's Box is actually a portal to the Crime Syndicate's dimension! In that dimension, all the hero's are evil! That's why the box was making the Justice Leaguers go evil-ish!

The New Batman

I'm pretty sure that you've all heard that Ben Affleck is going to play Bruce Wayne/Batman in the Man of Steel 2. But have you heard that Detroit may be the new Gotham? Production scouts say that Detroit may be a Gotham stand in for the movie. Tranformers 4 and Disney's Need for Speed were also filmed there.

Trinity of Sin Pandora Review

This is a great new series that ties in with the Trinity War. The first two issues tell you all about Pandora's past, but I can hardly believe that the series will go anywhere after the Trinity War is over.

Larfleeze Comic Review

This is a super funny comic that really brings the Orange Lantern Larfleeze's back story to light. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the other Green Lantern comics. I wouldn't give it to younger kids though because of the many uses of the word "a**". Also, I have an announcement to make. Next week will be the Green Lantern Oath Week (GLOW for short), that means that every day I will post a lantern oath, starting with the Green Lanterns and ending with the Orange Lantern Larfleeze!

August Issues 2013

Larfleeze #1 & 2 [10/10] This was just plain hilarious! I loved it!
The Flash #22 [7/10] This just reined what happened in the previous issues until the very end.
Trinity of Sin: Pandora # 1 & 2 [9/10] Both of these issues had 99% the same story, just get the first one.
The Superior Spider-Man #15 [10/10] This was very informative since I hadn't read the previous issue.
Deadpool #12 [10/10] This was a great issue which had an interesting twist ending to the whole Vetis thing.
Bart Simpson #85 [10/10] I tried something new and I liked it!

Justice League: the Flashpoint Paradox Review

This movie was awesome and followed the graphic novel very closely. I was surprised how well justin Chambers played the Flash! If you want to hear more about the movie, check out another review by Screen Rant.

Top 5 Female Characters (DC)

5. Huntress
Affiliation: Hero
If you're evil, she'll kill you. Sounds pretty simple to me.

4. Catwoman
Affiliation: Thief
She stole from Batman more than once. That earns her a place on the list.

3. Black Canary
Affiliation: Hero
She seems nice... if you're deaf.

2. Power Girl
Affiliation: Hero
 The Supergirl from another dimension. Except instead of a symbol she has a hole in her costume which I swear they writers/artist did on propose.

1. Wonder Woman
Affiliation: Hero
She's dated Batman, Superman, and Colonel Trevor. She has super powers. She has an invisible jet. She is an Amazonian princess. What bout the last four?

Man of Steel Sequel: Superman/Batman Team-Up!

Warner Bros. recently announced at Comic Con that the Man of Steel Sequel will be featuring the Dark Knight himself! Now we already know that Christian Bale won't be playing Batman since he wants to see someone else play the part, but I bet you didn't know that Batman and Superman may actually fight in this movie, meaning we'll know the answer to the age old question: Who would win, Batman or Superman?

The Trinity War

Something is happening. The Justice League has started fighting the Justice League of America. Doctor Light is already dead. And I have suspicions that the Justice League Dark will also play a role in this war. This is something that will shake the foundations of DC Comics. Every hero, villain, and comic nerd will be affected by this. It all started when Shazam flew into Kahndaq. The Justice League went in to take him back to the U.S. Shazam hit Superman. The Justice League of America showed up. I think that Kandaq will be leveled in a matter of hours.

For the whole story on the Trinity War, read these issues:
-Part 1: Justice League #22
-Part 2: Justice League of America #6
-Part 3: Justice League Dark #22
-Part 4: Justice League of America #7
-Part 5: Justice League Dark #23
-Conclusion: Justice League #23

July Issues 2013

Hey guys, I was a little slow getting the comics this month and I only got some of them. Check back with this post in about a week for more of the awesome sauce stuff!
-Aquaman #21 [10/10] Finally! The bad guy gets discovered!
-Justice League #22 [10/10] The Trinity War has STARTED!
-Batman #22 [9/10] I don'y really understand Zero Year.

-----I'll add more later!-----

Injustice: Gods Among Us New Character

I have reentry seen that a new character will be available for download in Injustice. His name is Zod. General Zod. I don't know whether this is because of the movie or not, I just like that there is now another person who is as strong as Superman. Also he looks really cool!

The Half-a-Million Cover

I just read in the SF Chronicle that at the original cover art for Dark Knight Returns #2 will be sold next month in Dallas, Texas by Heritage Auctions for $500,000. The record price for a comic book is Action Comics #1 (where we first met Superman) which sold for $2.16 million.

Justice League: the Flashpoint Paradox

This new animated movie is based on the graphic novel Flashpoint. It will feature Justin Chambers as the Flash, Micheal B. Jordan as Cyborg, and Kevin McKidd as Thamos Wayne/Batman. They say that the movie will stay true to the comic, but "they" say a lot of things. Peace out and, yes, I think that the Micheal Jordan doing the voice of Cyborg does also play basketball for the NBA

DC Comics Unlimited Figures

I have a couple of these figures and they look really nice. I want to find some of the Injustice ones though because those are my favorite. Here are two pictures of a bunch of these figures that you can blow up by clicking on them.
