My Reaction to... Random Stuff

Lets get cynical!

What do you get when you cross a week of being nauseated, hacking and coughing, add a dash of Valentines day “I will be single forever” induced cynicism, eating WAY too much chocolate and add in a whole month of media and political stupidity?

You get another “My Reaction to” post!

Unlike the last few times where I give my reactions to one specific topic, this is going to be a bunch of little topics. Call it a preverbal spring cleaning of the most stupid stuff of things that made me slam my head against the table. Aaaand some things that gave me hope in humanity. instead of splitting it up into two separate articles, I decided just to do it all at once. Rip it off like a bandaid. Don’t expect everything to be intelligent talk. I have a lot of rage and fanism to get out. (Fanism. Is that even a word?) That said, Enjoy my pain!

Also SPOILERS AHOY!!

JLA: A League of One Review

Sadly, Wonder Woman is not the Dragon Born

I'm back with from Christmas holiday with a review of an old favourite for a new year! And it's a Wonder Woman comic!

... Oh, come on, you should expect this by now...

What I want from a Wonder Woman TV Show

Yep. I’m finally talking about it.

?DC vs Marvel?

Tunes of the Day: *Super Hero-Tim McMorris*

I take a look at the year back and what's to come in the future.

Why I Love Comics

Blogspot won't let me make the

head over to my DA page for a larger version
And who is this mysterious character? Check the link ^_^

*Tunes of the Day: Cartoon Heroes by Aqua*

Holy crud! It's finally done! Yeesh, this was long. Largest strip I've done for the site (took 2 full sheets of my 17"x6" board) plus the largest amount of images and largest amount of times my computer decided to crap out at me at the last minute. So this is what I actually planned last week.

A few weeks ago I’ve was going through a bit rough state. Combination of creative block, my health (again) and just really not nice things going on. But it was all the sheer amount of stupid and jack-assery going on in the comic industry lately was the camel that broke the straw's back... you heard me.

Oh, don’t worry, I’m feeling better now. That’s why over dramatic comic is over dramatic. But, I was emotionally at the point where I wasn't sure if I wanted to draw comics anymore.

And then I picked up Animal man 7, The amazing Spider man 681, Glory 1, Venom 13.2 and the preview book for Avengers vs x-men, found out that X-23 is getting one more issue...

...and gave myself a good kick in the face for being so stupid (much harder then it looks)

I love comics.

I will always love comics.

Sure, it's easy to get worked up or caught up in something that seems little. But I go up on my soap box and write about all these things because I LOVE comics! I want the industry to be a better place, I don't want to see my childhood cartoon heros get turned into sluts, or see my childhood real-life heroes get wronged. Comics at their best and I want to show that best to other people!

So, since I badly needed to do something to cheer myself up, I'm going to completely rip off Bob Chipman's rip off of the Film Critic Hulks article (yes, i know i got the titles wrong in the strip, sorry) and just... list why I like comics. Just making the list put a good feeling back into me. Feel free to rip me off and make your own

My Reactions to New 52 Wonder Woman

 

Not an indepth article, but my actual reactions to the issues. Trust me. This made my rage much more comprehensible... it think.

Monthly Comic’s Corner: October edition!

Monthly Comic’s Corner: October edition!

Sigh. Why do I even bother making a schedule? But never mind the self pity--- It’s time for me to take a look at the comic’s I bought in October! What comic’s from DC’s New 52 made it into my line up? How does Journey into Mystery and Spider Island conclude? And what the heck is with X-23’s star-palm? Plus, I take a look at a new-ish(?) series from Image comics!

SS/OM: Monthly Comics Corner: September part 1

Hey all! Well, Super September (and October) month is finally at an end. It’s been a long two months of capes, heroes, and yes, pants.

 And with this being the end of the SSOM (Shh. I know I'm three days late. Don’t care. It’s still technically October to me.), the start of my MONTHLY COMIC REVIEWS. and the month of Halloween-- one of the greatest days ever... I did more then draw a costume this time:

Ta-DA! And yes, those are pants. No big deal. They’re just pants.

Anyway, Today, I will be reviewing all the comics I purchased that came out in September. I won’t be including Octobers comics because... this list is already longer then I planned. I bought many of DC’s NEW 52 and as much as I loved most of the comics I saw, I... just don’t have the money to keep it up. Which is a shame, because I was really torn on what comics to continue with, and I still am. The October review will be in the next week, so you’ll have to wait till then to see what I’ve picked.

(Edit: I apoligize for completley forgetting to add the links to all the names and events. I've fixed it now, plus some spelling/names issues, and i added a little more to Batgirl and Green Lantern)

BTW, this will be long, so I was forced to split it into two parts so you guys can have a break. (It came out to 23 pages when I finished O_o) Now, without further adieu:

SS/OM: All New Wonder Woman Review Part 4: Nemesis

All New Wonder Woman Review Part 4: Nemesis

The End. In more ways then one.

(Final thoughts are at the end of the article)

SS/OM: All New Wonder Woman Review Part 3: The Morrigan

"What the?" and "I don't even"...

SS/OM: All New Wonder Woman Review Part 2: The Dark Man

All New Wonder Woman Review Part 2

And so it begins...

SS/OM: All New Wonder Woman Review Part 1: The Controversy

All New Wonder Woman Review Part 1

It's about time

Ways to Help... Comics?: Fans Edition

Ways to Help... Comics?: Fans Edition

Okay, enough picking on DC, it’s our turn now.

I have a request for DC...

SSM: Ways to help Wonder Woman: DC edition

Ways to help Wonder Woman: DC edition

My Lasso. Now.

So, after my last WW rant about the Wondy’s pants debate, and all the great feedback I got, I figure I should continue it with something... a little less ranty.

Now, I talk a lot about ways that WW keeps getting screwed around or how awesome she actually is. But I haven’t really talked much about ways to keep her from being screwed around or show how awesome she is.

And I also don’t want you guys to get the impression that I think DC always screws up Wonder Woman, or that she gets screwed over more then any other hero. There has been some great Wondy stories. The All New Wonder Woman, for the most part, was really good. Her time during the Blackest Night event was great and had a lot of respect for the character, Brave and the Bold is friggin awesome and Gail Simone dug Wondy out of one of a...a... I can’t think of a nerdy metaphor for “deep hole”. If anything, Hal Jordan has been put through a lot worse (See- Parallax)

But even now, DC is still making the same mistakes with her. Maybe because her books continue to not have good sales (last time I checked) And now that the reboot is here, to say I'm worried is... an understatement (Why does she get only one comic and Batman show up in like, 5 during the first month?!)

So here are a few ideas on how DC can help give the Amazon Princess a hand. Later on, there will be a fans edition! And a little disclaimer: Most of this information is based mostly on my own experience--- what I see in the bad comics and the good, and partly on my research of the character. And it can be applied to most of the super heroes out there.

List after the jump!

September is SUPER HERO/COMICS MONTH

So I was organizing my articles and realized that a lot of my articles this month are superhero based. So lets make it a theme! I'm even dressed up for the occasion! ...And it’s my birthday at the end of the month, so there. 

Also, I do have some things planned for october (depening on wiether or not I get a certain windows 95 computer working). But after September, the sites will be slowing down to a few more regualr updates. More like once a week instead of 1 ever copule of days. And my portfolio will have more regualr updates. This is because i’m trying to decote more time to working on my webcomic.

So here are the articles I have PLANNED in no particular order. Key word here. It always depends on my work schedule:

Ways to help Out Wonder Woman: Part 1 involves DC and Part 2 involves the fans

All new Wonder Woman Retrospective, followed by a review of the whole series.

A look into a superhero costumes, both comics, tv shows and movies

Review of the Green Lantern movie on dvd

Con report (at last)

Canadian Comics

Ways to Advertise Comics (without reboots)

The start of my Monthly Comic reviews at the end of the month that include all the DC reboot comics I’ve been buying.

My birthday list--- er, I mean “Comic Recommendations” (Not all will be super heros)

In a few hours will be the first on the list: Ways to Help out Wonder Woman-- DC edition.

Edit: Sorry, the article will be up tomorrow morning. I've got work tomorrow and this article is taking longer to edit then I imagined. Night everybody!

Edit again: Aaaand now I have to say it's going to come in the evening. Because I ended up tossing and turning the entire night and couldn't get to sleep until some time after 5:00 am. So now I had to use all my extra hours this morning to sleep in so I'm not a complete zombie at work... sigh. Oh, well, these things happen. I'm not going to whine about it this time. Oh, but any one who asks why I didn't just work on this last night instead of tossing and turning gets a good stick in the eye.

... sorry, that's the insomnia talking... I think

The Wonder Woman Pilot Sucks but I'm Laughing!

Well, I said i would get to this eventually. Now that I've finally talked about the reboot, I finally watched the leaked pilot for the Wonder Woman TV show. And it sucks. A lot. So you're probably expecting me to review it, huh?

Well, I don't have to. All I have to do is send you to this link where Rob Brickan talks about everything wrong with the pilot. Thank God for Topless Robot! And I don't have to say a thing because I agree with everything single word he says :D! And that, after watching that piece of crud, is a major pick-me-up.

I am so sick of talking about how people keep screwing Wondy over and frankly, this thing is not worth it. It's canceled anyway :D! I didn't even both posting an image for it. That's right. My One Moment In Time Review and My Transformers 3 Review got more attention then this and they were ten times worse!

Good night and sweet dreams everybody! Woo Woo!

Seeya,
