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.

Marvel Phase 3

Everyone's probably heard about the Marvel event where Marvel announced all of its phase three movies, but I'm going to do a recap with some of my thoughts:

Captain America: Civil War (2016): Based on the amazing graphic novel, this story will circle around the government wanting superheroes to enlist and register their secret identities. The movie will be slightly different because everyone knows all the heroes' identities. Expect an Ironman vs. Cap fight that should rival the Shakespeare in the Park scene from the Avengers!

Doctor Strange (2016): This one shouldn't be an origin movie, but will open up the magic side of the Marvel Universe, much like Guardians of the Galaxy opened up the cosmic side of it. Just don't use his arch enemy, Dormamu, in his first film and I won't complain. Also, Cumberbatch in a Marvel movie can only be a good thing.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017): More Groot and Rocket, obviously. Otherwise, keep doing what your doing!


Thor: Ragnarok (2017): This movie will either have our favorite thunder god fighting the giant serpent Ragnarok, or follow the comic and have the gods be destroyed and reborn with no memory. Oh, and more Loki, can't have a Thor movie without Loki.

Black Panther (2017): The king of Uganda will feature in Captain America Civil War, and will likely face an enemy we'll be seeing in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ten points to who ever can find Ulysses Klaw in the trailer!

Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 (2018) Part 2 (2019): I just hope it doesn't turn out that I waited six years for Thanos for nothing! That would suck. Also, that second part probably means they can't defeat him alone and call the Guardians for the second film.

Captain Marvel (2018): The first female-led Marvel movie, Captain Marvel will follow Carol Danvers' adventures on Earth. Wait, Earth?! No, no, no, Captan Marvel is a space hero that often teams up with the Guardians, why is she on Earth? Also, I had this little conspiracy theory that Sky from Marvel's Agents of Shield was going to become Captain Marvel since the show has been featuring lots of alien (Kree!) related stuff. You'll see. Probably...

Inhumans (2018): The final movie in Marvel's Phase 3 is the Inhumans, Marvels response to the X-Men. The Inhumans are a race that has been hiding from humanity, and are exposed to a gas that gives them powers on their 18th birthday, or something like that.

Well, that's it! I don't know where Ant-Man fits in, although its probably coming 2016 or 2015 since they showed some few-second scenes in Marvel specials. Thanks for reading!

Age of Ultron Trailer: What's in Store?

I expect that anyone who breathes oxygen has seen the new Age of Ultron trailer. If you don't breath oxygen, here's it is:
Okay, now in the trailer you see several versions of Ultron, the killer robot that we expect has been built by Tony Stark. This means they are staying fairly close to the comic Ultron, who constantly rebuilds himself to become more powerful. Second, you see the twins from the after credits scene of Captain America: Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch and Quick Silver. Although Marvel has to really try to beat X-Men: Days of Future Pasts's Quick Silver. Finally, we see Hulk destroying stuff, and even the Iron Man Hulkbuster armor about to be put to use. This could hint that Marvel is ready to shoot Hulk into space to stop him. Planet Hulk anyone? Anyway, I will be posting about the upcoming phase 3 marvel movies!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review

What happens when you combine one of your most beloved childhood TV shows with Michael Bay? This summer's guilty pleasure. TNMT had a good plot, but terrible written, and questionable acting, although I'm sure the actors did the best they could do with the script they had. Except for you MEGAN FOX. Other than that the movie was bearable, and I did my best to avoid being seen exiting the theater. Uhhhh... 6/10

Oh yea, Shredder was awesome, making a samurai seem modern is hard to do, and they did it better than The Wolverine!

Guardians of the Galaxy Review: Warning! Spoilers!

Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the greatest Marvel movies ever, rivaling the Avengers itself. If you've seen the movie, you would probably agree. From Drax's punch lines, to a dancing Groot, to a Howard the Duck after credits scene, Guardians of the Galaxy was funny, surprising, suspenseful, and action packed. There was just one problem. They repeated over, and over, and over IF YOU TOUCH THE STONE YOU DIE. They also showed that the Tesseract (Avengers) and the Aether (Thor the Dark World) were in the same category. Therefore, if you touch them, should you not also die? But NOOOO Nick Fury grabbed the Tesseract being all "Screw safety!", and Thor's girlfriend had the Aether inside her. These "infinity gems" are very picky and choosey on when they want to turn people to dust. Other than that, great movie, must see!

New Hulk Movie?

There has been talk of of new Hulk movie that will the story of Planet Hulk. Personally, I remember this as "that one animated Hulk movie on Netflix", but you may remember the epic graphic novel that gave us Skarr. Don't hate if I spelled it wrong. The animated movie (I haven't read the graphic novel) shows Hulk battle himself, should he get back to Earth, should he help the people of this strange planet? As well as battling himself, he must fight a variety of opponents in a gladiator ring, from rock-men to giant, robot worms. This was one of the good animated movies that came before DC started pumping out these crappy animated movies every other month. Remind me to complain more on that subject later. Anyway, the animated movie (and I suspect the graphic novel) were amazing, and if they do end up making a live action movie, I hope they do the originals proud.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Review

This movie was amazing, but not as amazing as the first one. On one hand I was super pumped to see three of the better Spider-Man villains (I'm looking at you average Lizard), but on the other hand I didn't want this movie to repeat the previous Spider-Man trilogy's "Spider-Man 3" mistake. As it turned out, it was a mix of both. Electro had an actual story and a new and, slightly improved origin. Green Goblin's origin was new, and, well it was new. Rhino's origin was... short. In fact, I think I'll give you the screen times:
Electro: 1 hour
Green Goblin (not as Harry Osborn): 10 min
Rhino (not as Gangster): 2 min, literally all the Rhino scenes were in the trailer. Seriously
All in all, not the best.

Justice League: War

This animated movie is based on the New 52 Justice League Vol. 1. The movie follows the book perfectly except for one important point. Where the hell is Aquaman! He played a key part in the graphic novel and many other Justice League stories! Should you forget the more recent attack on the "earth-dwellers" by Atlantis, which Aquaman stopped. Also, if you are going to replace Aquaman with another hero, make it a better hero. Captain Marvel (Who they renamed "Shazam" so no Marvel mix-ups) does not count as a better hero. He is Superman, if Superman was an immature danger to those around him. And so I conclude, Justice League: War, is not worth the watch. I am sorry this came late.

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!

Pacific Rim Review

This is the best movie of the summer!!! Giant robots that look like Iron Man fighting giant aliens that look like Godzilla! My two favorite things! Anyone who would give this movie less than a ten out of ten must not be right in the head.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Review

This amazing video game is a little old, but is still awesome. The game lets you play in four different dimensions, the amazing dimension, the ultimate dimension, the 2099 dimension, and the Noir dimension. You can unlock new moves and special abilities as you complete levels! It's very entertaining with its fun combos, cool designs, and simple controls. I think it can be played by kids since it has an easy mode where yu regenerate health (I'll admit it, I use that mode). I give it a 9 out of 10.

Dinosaurs vs. Aliens Review

Dinosaurs vs. Aliens is a graphic novel about an alien race that comes to Earth about 60 million years ago. This race wanted to make the Earth their own by wiping out the dinosaurs. Now the two sides will go to war over the planet Earth. Dinosaurs vs. Aliens is an amazing graphic novel by Grant Morrison (the creator of many awesome Batman graphic novels) that is one of the most original pieces I've ever read! I mean, seriously Disney, are you really just going to make a bunch of prequels, sequels, and 3D versions for your older movies? Dinosaurs vs. Aliens is something completely new and entertaining, and their only on their first volume! It's a short read but I'd still recommend it to all my friends- you hear that Blooperman? I'm telling you to read this!

Man of Steel Review

An over all awesome movie, the Man of Steel had a great backstory to where Superman came from, powerful villains, and even some LexCorp trucks and Wayne Industries satellites being smashed! Though some think that the action scenes went a little too long, I think the extra excitement is what made the movie great!

Star Trek: Into Darkness Review

This was a great action movie that was practically a remake of Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. My dad thought that they were just trying to make more money by creating the same story in this "new" dimension. I thought it was good.

Iron Man 3 Review

 Iron Man 3 was almost as good as the Avengers! The movie contained 42 different suits, a fiery regenerating army, and a lot of the same stuff as the graphic novel Iron Man: Extremis. Though I was wrong about Norman Osborn having a part, I was right about Pepper getting to wear the suit!

Mark 38: The Hulkbuster Armor know as Igor

Superior Spider-Man Review



In The Amazing Spider-Man 700, Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus switched bodies. Then, Doc Ock in Spider-Man's body killed Spider-Man in Doc Ock's body. After that bit of confusion, Doc Ock became the Superior Spider-Man with the help of his new concience- Peter Parker. I would really recommend reading the new series and The Amazing Spider-Man 700, even though it might give you a headache! Also, the comic series is downloadable with the AR app. I'll be sure to review this app later!

Chakra the Invincible Review

Chakra the Invincible is a new comic by Stan Lee about a kid named Raju Rai who lives in Mumbai and made a technological suit that activates the mystical Chakras of the body and grants him awesome powers. This is just one of the comics that come out on Free Comic Book Day!

Fatman on Batman Podcast Review

My dad introduced me to this cool Podcast where directer Kevin Smith (a.k.a. Fatman) takes about Batman for about an hour straight! He even has a bunch of awesome guest stars like Stan Lee and Grant Morrison who's one of the best Batman writers ever! I would strongly advise to ask your parents before downloading the Podcast because he tends to use strong language.
