What I will be writing…
January 31, 2007 at 2:29 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentHi.
Right now, I am reading ” Kingdom Come ” the absolute edition. A lot of extras in this edition.
There is a preface in the beginning of the book, that has given me the topic that I will be starting to write about here and will link and finish on the new Fanboy blog site.
I will be changing the look of the new site eventually and add things to the site that I have not added here, but that is in the future. Well, that all for now. See you in a day or two.
Oh, and tomorrow is Comic Book day, Yeah!
I just love Wednesdays!!

Yeah, I know it looks alot like the old Fanboy, and you would be correct in saying so.
I wanted to move to a new web host so that I might expand what I do without feeling constrained on the WordPress free blog, so…………
I will be moving several posts from the old site to this one….
Moving Fanboy
January 23, 2007 at 6:18 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentI just wanted to post a small note here.
I will be moving Fanboy to it’s own server, so that I can have a little growing space, but I will continue for a while to have posts here.
The game plan is to start to link posts from here to the new site. So starting tomorrow you will see links to the new home of Fanboy.
The new address is below;
So I hope to continue to have great conversations about comics, games and more to come… like Anime Figures and more!

Frank Castle: A Civil War Soldier
January 20, 2007 at 12:56 am | In comics | Leave a CommentThis is part two of the saga of the Punisher War Journal ” Civil War ” special series.
Frank Castle, the Punisher ( as if you didn’t know that ) and the symbol of America, Captain America working together?
Well in issue #2, it happens albeit for a very short period of time.
Cap is the leader of this little rebellion against authority, ironic in and of itself, and the question is can the Captain actually trust the Punisher?
Cap – ” I’m not sure I can have you Throwing In with me castle. “
Punisher – ” Why not? We’re both soldiers. “
Cap- ” I’m a soldier. You’re a Vigilante. A Criminal. “
Punisher – ” Yeah. But so are you these days. “
this was some of the dialog from page two of the comic, and sets the stage for the uniting of these two characters in book two, with the Punisher being Cap’s Bucky ( well sort of! ) as long as the Punisher doesn’t use ” Lethal Force “, yeah……good luck with that idea Cap!
Castle makes it clear that he ” really doesn’t care ” which side wins in this little Civil War, just that ” all this just gets in my way ” referring to his little war on crime vendetta, which kinda reminds me of a certain ” Dark Knight “, and makes you wonder when the Batman and the Punisher will cross paths again?
At one point, Cap even gives Frank a compliment by saying ” Good Work, soldier. Move out. “
But in the end, the Captain and the Punisher ( or is that Tennile ? ) work in and come from very different worlds, and kinda like that often referred to leopard and his spots…well the Punisher is the Punisher, with his own code of ethics and he doesn’t lie down with criminals, no matter what the circumstance might be.
After Castle guns down two criminals that had come to offer their help to Cap in his fight against the registration act, Caps ready to beat the snot out of the Punisher, and the Punisher is almost daring him to….more to come pilgrims!
World of Warcraft TCG: Playing the Onyxia Deck.
January 20, 2007 at 12:14 am | In ccg&tcg games | Leave a CommentHi there!
When I purchased the World of Warcraft ( I guess you would call these ) deluxe box sets ( I bought two of these for play test purposes ) I also picked up the ” Onyxia Raid Box ” set along with them.
I finally got the chance to play test the Onyxia deck against the two other decks that I bought.
The idea behind the Onyxia raid deck, is that it promotes multiplayer aspect. In other words, it’s one against at least two other players, but I think in order to take down Onyxia, it will take at least three well tuned decks.
Heroes play against Onyxia in three stages…
Stage One – Onyxia has 20 life points that you have to deal with, in order to move on to stage two. When I played Onyxia, my friend Chris, he took me out in the first round and was able to move on to the second round.
When he played Onyxia on the other hand, I was not able to take him out in the first round. As a matter of fact, he actually won in the first stage outlasting me.
Stage Two – Onyxia has 30 life points in this stage, and this was the stage that my fun began. I started to generate ” Dragon Welp ” tokens in this round, along with just destroying alot of his allies on the board.
I was going to win in this round anyway due to a card that I was holding till I had enough resources to pay for it ( 8 to be exact ), and the card is called ” Burninate ” which for 8 resources takes out everything on the board, heroes, allies, and equipment. If you are lucky and resourceful enough, than you get to face Onyxia for the final time…
Stage Three – Onyxia is at 50 points at this stage, and I say if you have made it to this stage, than you and your friends have played well and put together effective decks to play against the fierce Onyxia!
The Onyxia Raid deck set comes boxed in a slipcase, with the three versions of Onyxia, a regular deck and an event deck that is used as resources after you play them, and a ” Loot ” pack of special foil cards that are only available if you buy the” Onyxia Raid Deck ” box set.
It retails between $22.00 to $29.00
Gets your friends together and try to slay Onxia, I dare ya!
Civil War and The Punisher
January 10, 2007 at 1:54 am | In comics | Leave a CommentWhat happens when one of the most feared characters in the Marvel universe takes a side in a battle?
The other side is in lots of trouble!
Welcome to The Punisher War Journal, Civil War Edition, featuring artwork by Ariel Olivetti, who makes me remember Mick Zeck’s art ( who’s art on the DC series Space Ghost had first caught my eye ) and story by Matt Fraction, this is the Punisher at his kick ass best!
So far I have read the first issue , but that was enough. The scene of the Punisher bringing a beat up and battered Spiderman to the Captain America’s resistance safe house ( maybe it’s safe ) and the startled looks on all the heroes faces was just priceless.
Castle decides that he wants to join the resistance against the ” Hero Registration ” act when he see’s Spiderman being apprehended by a group of villains ” sanctioned ” by the government and Shield. After doing some bad-guy ass kicking and saving Spidey’s bacon, he takes the webhead back to Cap’s place and decides he wants to be on Cap and the resistance’s side, but the real question is………DO THEY WANT HIM?
I know that there are alot of the Marvel universe comics tied into this important storyline, but for my sawbuck, this will be one of the best.
I will be picking up the second issue this week and I will be giving another update.
