DC: Rebirth of an Icon

February 17, 2016 by Mike "Pagemaster" O'Rear Leave a Comment

52 has become the number to look out for in DC Comics. It’s no surprise then that a huge event starting around May or June 2016 comes hot on the heels of mainstay titles 52nd issues. Ever since Jim Lee and Dan Didio posted their Rebirth teaser images, the internet has been going nuts with rumor and speculation. So far DC itself has been very quiet, keeping their cards close to their chest. But, it’s the creators that have been dropping hints and teases. [Read more…] about DC: Rebirth of an Icon

Marvel Avengers Initiative iPad App Update – Plus, Marvel Online Game Guide

January 5, 2013 by Dave 4 Comments

A little while back, I wrote a pretty excited review about Marvel’s new Avengers Initiative app. At the time, you could only play as the Hulk and the game was going for a whooping $6.99. Now?

Marvel has $.99 sales like every other day and you can also work your way up to playing as Cap. [Read more…] about Marvel Avengers Initiative iPad App Update – Plus, Marvel Online Game Guide

A Quick One While He’s Away: Listen to Deadpool the Musical!

January 26, 2012 by Dave Leave a Comment

Hey! So I’m totally not caught up with my Deadpool reading at ALL, but apparently Deadpool is the latest and greatest to become a part of Marvel’s ongoing Point One series (they do an issue 40.1, for example, which explains everything that happens in issues 1-40. In theory, it’s everything I’ve ever asked for in keeping readers up to date with their favorite comics, but I’ll have to collect my thoughts on it in full some time. Like why you have to pay for the recap issue in addition to your new comics…).

For the recap issue, current Deadpool writer Daniel Way wrote as if the comic were a musical. This is a perfectly insane creative decision for a Deadpool comic, and even better yet, the book’s editor Jordan D. White WROTE AND PERFORMED ALL THE DAMN MUSIC. In real life. And you can listen to it right now, for free, just by clicking through! [Read more…] about A Quick One While He’s Away: Listen to Deadpool the Musical!

Prose and Cons: Do Marvel Novels Defeat the Point of Comics?

December 24, 2011 by Dave 3 Comments

 

Newsarama reported just a few short days ago that Marvel will begin a series of prose novels (like, real books with words!) starting with an adaptation of Civil War. Keep reading to find out: Are prose versions of Marvel comics a good idea? What kind of readers are these books for? Has there ever, in the history of human civilization, been an example of a person advancing their love for the Marvel universe through books without pictures? Is that person writing the post you’re reading? And is he really as handsome as he seems?
