Comic Books Controversy

Yeah, I'm a comic book geek. While mostly into Transformers fandom and Marvel, I'm trying to catch up and get into things. I'm more interested in older comic books than newer ones. Not saying I wouldn't read them if I got the chance mind you.

As a comic book fan I've heard in the past, and quite aware that many people don't believe that comic books is an important means for children to learn how to read. Its just to simplified, that it doesn't reach the more complex of reading books and other literature.

I say; 'you're wrong'. Just because it has far more pictures and far las paragraphs, doesn't mean its not a form of proper literature. I good part of reading coimcs is what's written down in those usually white bubbles. Yeah, the pictures are great to look at, that's always a series turn on for fans whom love comics with a passion. But its also the writing. Trust me, being a comic person, I know this. Furman, McCarthy, and Morwy are just a small handful of writer's that I like. All of which write really good, indepth words. Its how you use them that makes it. And they make it.

Some of the most powerful quotes out there by famous people are just a sentence long.

Anyway, this, from Newsarama, is where I'm getting my fuel from.

Check it! out, read, give me your op :)

btw, don't get me wrong. I look books. I'm a book nerd and can often be found with my 'nose in a book'. But this also includes comic books and manga ;)

Alos, I can't spell to save my life w/o spell check you may have noticed. So...what's that say? And I love to write! my own fiction!

More Teasing from Tron

December 2010 is a long ways away.

Iron Man II

Both me and my mom have been waiting for it for ages. It took longer, than say Transformers, for its sequal because Robert Downey Jr. was working on Sherlock Holmes, which is due out Christmas day. But finally! We've been given a teaser trailer. Well...actually two I think, its floating around here and there.

Above is the 'international' teaser trailer apparently.

Instead of me waisting words. . .and b/c I didn't quite understand the brief 411 Empire gave us. Check it out here, on Empire Online.

Iron Man II is due out next May on the 7th.

Review: Daughters of Darkness

Daughters of Darkness, orignally was an indivdual book, later on L.J. Smith relased it as one book with three different stories from her Night World series. DoD being number two in the first book.

I have read Secret Vampire but it has been a while. It was good, too.

DoD took me some time to finally catch on to and get reading it. Though I think it had to do with the face that I was reading something else already at the time.

Surprisingly enough, yes, this is a vampire (also including werewovles, witches, etc etc). I've never been into, I guess you could call it; today's age vampires, I'm more of an semi-original Dracula fan. The original-orignal is even more interesting. I would probably have never read either of the first two stories if a friend of mine hadn't suggested it. Not only our the first to vampire orented but romance as well. Teen romance. Normally I wouldn't get close to something like that even with a ten-foot pool. But, eh, I'm open to all sorts of liteature.

On to review(ish). contains a bit of spoilers for those whom haven't read Night World No.1 yet.:

At first it was kind of boring but its one of those book's you gotta read through the first couple chapter's before you finally get into it. After I got pass that, it ended up being pretty good. Even with it's sappy/cliche ending.

There's a character, also, the shows back up who was also in the first book (Vampire Secrets). Ash. In the first he's protrade of being the dark, mysterious, serious, and really is a bad-boy. Who likes going around getting human girls despite, supposedly, hating humans. He's the one the main character's in the first book wanted to get away from. Yet everything is contradicted in this one. He did a complete three-sixty. . .it bother's me that that's what happened. I was kinda hoping Jeremy was the good guy.

Nonetheless. It's was a good read, and for those whom are more into Vampire/Werewolves/etc it's a recommened read.

New, 2010 Ford Mustang

Has anyone seen the new 2010 Ford Mustang Gt? I'm sure a few people have, I have recently myself. I'm not to sure what to think of the looks along with the new car. Personally I like the Saleen 'looks' wise. It hasn't been released yet, due out in a couple month's from my understanding.

Compared to the new Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, and the Hyundai Genesis, the new Mustange is about a thousand dollars cheaper. And packs out at 315 horsepower with a V6 4-liter engine.

Though, the first thing that popped into my head was that it looked like a Chevy Camaro crossbreed with a Saleen Mustang. lol. Looks hot though.

$21,845

Offical

It comes out in theaters October 23.

Astro Boy's offical website.

Not sure what I suspect out of this movie, but hopefully it's something good.

Review: Gundam Seed

Not a book this time! It's anime, this go.

Finished Gundam Seed a day or two ago. I'd really like to compare it to Destiny, Astray, and it's movies but I haven't gotten that far. So I can't do that yet.

Anyhoo. Spoilers. Just to let you know, for those whom haven't seen it.

Seed was great. Though, like normal either a anime is to drawn out or not drawn out enough. Seed was drawn out in a lot of places and several of the episodes I just had it playing as a background noise/have attention while I did other stuff. But of course when several of the arch's started rolling around and getting more intense they got more interesting.

I have to admit, there was one or two parts that I can say I didn't see coming. Like Kira waking up at Clyne's place. I went WTF and Klaga dieing near the end, not cool man.

I think my favorite (can you call it favorite?) was when, later on in the episodes close to the end, when Freedom got it's head blown off. Then, like, and episode (maybe in the same episode) they somehow popped one back on like a Revoltech. Okay, yeah, its anime and what knot but how what the hell. They just randomly have Gundam head's lying around?! I lol'd hard.

Lacus Clyne. I have to admit, she turned out better as a charater that I thought she was. She's girly but ended up being a very serious calm, level headed person in the end. I didn't suspect that, but I liked it.

Enough rambling, that's about the jist of it for me.

Overall, Seed was a great show, little lenghty at parts, but worth it I suppose. It's a watch at least.

4 out of 5 stars :)
