comics – One Book a Week

Planet Of The Apes – Human War covers

In 2001, acclaimed director Tim Burton released a new version of Planet of the Apes. This version was an entirely new movie rather than a remake. It failed to find its audience, but the comics were a different matter.

Glass – The superhero movie which wasn’t about superheroes at all (spoilers)

They always underestimate the mastermind. As part of the perks I have with the Cinema card – I get to see previews of movies before they hit the mainstream cinema – and last night I went to watch “Glass” – the third movie in the M. Night Shyamalan series comprised of Unbreakable (2000) and SplitContinue reading “Glass – The superhero movie which wasn’t about superheroes at all (spoilers)”

Stephen King’s “N” Short Story about how Stonehenge and OCD can be connected

It’s been a while since I’ve read a good psychological thriller that brings the Dark Tower world slowly back into focus. “N” is the story of a patient suffering from severe OCD symptoms and strong hallucinations who decides to seek psychiatric help and ends up “infecting” everyone he hears his story with his “bug”. TheContinue reading “Stephen King’s “N” Short Story about how Stonehenge and OCD can be connected”

Comics to read in a lifetime

I read Y: The Last man and I found myself searching for something new to read. Sandman -The embodiment of dream is captured and then escapes after many years. Epic by Neil Gaiman. Landmark series Fables – all those stories are true and those characters have fled their worlds and are hiding in New YorkContinue reading “Comics to read in a lifetime”

Penny Dreadful Comics

I’ve ran across these as it has nearly been 6 months since I’ve seen the last of the show and I’m going through some Supernatural & Penny Dreadful withdrawal. I loved the speeches, Penny dreadful – My Scars are my own and Penny Dreadful season 3 ep 1 – Best character description ever and when I saw the comics,Continue reading “Penny Dreadful Comics”

Captain Hunk vs Emo Iron Man in Civil War

I managed to book two seats for me and my friend for the newest installment in the Marvel Universe which brought together Spiderman, AntMan, Iron-Man, Captain America, The Sexy Black Widow, The tormented Winter Soldier, and.. and.. so many more … and also to my massive surprise, Nikki Lauda from “Rush” – Daniel Brühl. AfterContinue reading “Captain Hunk vs Emo Iron Man in Civil War”

Happy International Women’s day! (With A Y the last man comic feature)

I’ve recently finished an amazing comic book called “Y: The last man”. “Y” as in the Y chromosome. It’s the story of a man who finds himself the only survivor of an apocalypse – but only one that affected all the men on the planet. A gendercide. Him and his pet capucin monkey called “Ampersand”Continue reading “Happy International Women’s day! (With A Y the last man comic feature)”

The two guys are giving up women for life * Joke

These two guys had just gotten divorced and they swore they would never have anything to do with women again. They were best friends and they decided to move up to Alaska as far north as they could go and never look at a woman again. They got up there and went into a trader’sContinue reading “The two guys are giving up women for life * Joke”

Cosplay Sideboobs

As I’ve survived through three ComicCon’s – two in London and one here in Northampton (of dubious quality too), I must say I saw a trend in the costumes that the UK people prefer compared to the ones that Americans favour. UK are more of traditionalists, Star Wars fans, fully suited and booted. US andContinue reading “Cosplay Sideboobs”

Avengers – Age of Ultron

Somebody please give this guy an Oscar: Everyone creates the thing they fear. Men of peace create engines of war. Avengers create invaders. Parents create children, that will supplant them.
