War is Upon Us

Is anyone else out there a comic buff. Well rather than take my time getting to the point, I will say it out loud; DC Sucks Big Time!!! (yes it deserves all three exclamation marks). I mean the entire Infinite Crisis was an utter waste of time. And it made me realize on thing, as much as I am a fanboy for good Bats, Supes, or even Flash and GL stories, they are few and far between. I also realize why I and millions keep yelling year after year "Make mine Marvel!" So heres counting down to what is going to be a really good story arc (fingers crossed).

The Man of Iron

Any Spidey Fans out there, those who are reading JMS current run will be up to date on all that is happening in the Marvel 616. Apparently Civil War is upon us, and I for one am extremely excited. But more on that when the first shot is fired. I follow everything Parker related, and one character has caught my attention; Tony Stark. I have new found respect for the man's shrewd-ness. He has been playing Peter for a fool, and only time will tell what that costs Peter. Not only that but he has been busy else where as well. But without spoiling much for people whole like good stories, you need to check out the current Iron-Man run and the New Avengers: Illuminati, to find out what I am talking about. I really don't know who this new Stark is, but he is one mean dude, and I plan on following him for a while.

The Only Good Thing

I try to be open-minded about everything. Hey, that's how you learn new things is life. But DC comics much hyped Infinite Crisis turned out to be a complete waste of time. It is a completely haphazard story that does nothing but give fan service to lost forgotten characters. I mean, I am a long time reader, and even I did not get all the "homage" the first time round. That coupled with a weak storyline, messed up pacing and 60's style science logic, all lead to one crazy (the bad kind of crazy) mini-series. Still one good thing came out of all the madness, Probably good enough to buy issue # 6. And That would be the amazing cover art of Infinite Crisis #6 by Jim Lee.

Blessed are the Ignorant

We have all heard it before; "ignorance is bliss". The ignorant man has one huge advantage over others; he is free of angst. Why? Well that should be the topic of another post. But the idea I am going to talk about here is the thought of those people who jeer, sneer and mock others. They do so to make fun of others but also to point out to others that they themselves are quite good at doing something. Case in point, a person in a restaurant is using all the table utensils properly. He notices someone else, not displaying proper manners and this ignorant peasant is enjoying himself. Now my feeling is that Mr. Proper is upset that he himself is behaving so well, and no one is noticing his superb behavior. So to get noticed, he has to act all haughty and superior, only so as to have the acknowledgement of another sentient that a person with manners is better than a person without manners.

Hiatus

Hiatus: gap or interruption in space, time, or continuity; a break. That is what is in store for this blog as I plan to be moving around for the next month or two. Still I plan to post regularly, and post I shall.
