Right now I am trying to finish the trade paperback ” Revelations “, which deals with  murder and corruption at the Vatican investigated by a detective brought in from London by his friend, who happens to be a priest. Also on tap is the ” Fallen Angel ” series by IDC. I will be writing a post which I am very proud to write after having finished reading  ” Ultimate Kingdom Come “. I will be posting the beginning of this here on WordPress and than continue it on my new Fanboy Blog.

Civil War Ends…

February 25, 2007 at 3:56 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Well I picked up the final issue of Marvels seven issue event ” Civil War “, and after reading the final issue three times, I have to say that it was really kinda bland for me. This big war ended ( if you haven’t read this series yet or this issue, stop reading NOW!!!!!!!!!!) with several highlights and probably some of the most improbable twists in any story I have read in a long time, and in my opinion one of these twists has to be the biggest cop-outs of the whole mini series!

Can you say….Tony Stark, Shield Director, and shaking hands with the president…..

and Steve Rogers, the living legend, Captain America, surrenders ( the biggest disappointment for me in the whole series ) and is put in jail!

Best Civil War moments….

Cap beating the crap out of Iron Man with his shield! That was just awesome, it’s too bad that Cap got waylaid by civilians!

Frank Castle becomes involved in the War, for a while on the side of Cap and his renegades, with flashbacks of a pre-punisher Castle taking training from the legend himself, and getting his ass handed to him by same said legend and not lifting a finger to defend himself because of his respect and admiration for the man and the costume he wore and the ideals he represents!

The return of Thor! Not!!

It was a Thor clone, created by Reed Richards.

Imperious Rex!

Namor and the troops arrive to turn the tide and help an old friend, and was totally unexpected by yours truly.

Hercules totally destroys another Thor with his own uru hammer!

This one looks to have been an android.

And the most disappointing for me….

Captain America surrenders!

The whole story just becomes unbelievable to me when this happens. Even when it is for the right reasons, the picture of Steve Rogers in an American prison and Tony Stark on the bridge of a Shield Helicarrior as the new director just does not ring true for me after all that I had seen happen in this series.

I have read the last issue of Civil War

Civil War…A ” House of M ” Nightmare?

February 18, 2007 at 2:22 pm | In comics | 1 Comment

When I stopped into my local comics shop hangout a few weeks back, my friend and sales person Pete and I got into another conversation about ” Civil War “, albeit short but Pete threw out this little thought…” what if Civil War is actually a ” House of M ” event?

How many of you have ever watched the evening soap opera/drama ” Dallas “?

In it’s heyday, Dallas was one of the few shows that I just had to watch, but it also had it’s lame moments….like the ” it was all a DREAM ” Bobby season, where we find out that his wife Pam, isn’t actually dead…it was a year long dream!

Well, here’s an unlikely ( and probably twisted )view of how this might become a 7 issue

” House of M ” dream…..Steve Rogers steps out of a shower, goes to his bathroom mirror and see’s a 48 year old, lanky person and is totally dismayed….what has happened to me and shouts out ” Honey!”…..” Wanda, what’s happened to me? “

An overweight Wanda Maximmoff walks into the room and slaps Steve in the face and yells at him I’ll tell ya what’s happened to you, I stopped giving you your medicine because I’m tired of my worthless excuse of a husband thinking he is a World War Two hero, who ran around in tights with a Red, White and Blue shield, and your not some SUPER HERO fugitive, running from the government and someone named Tony Stark! She slaps him again and yells snap out of it, there is no CIVIL WAR!

Than, Steve Roger’s world goes WHITE…..and in the next scene we see Magneto standing over his still insane daughter, Wanda in his safe-hold on the island of Genosha. He stares at his sleeping daughter, wondering what she might be dreaming of that has put a smile across her lips….in a large, padded cell we see a person tied in a straight jacket, gagged, his eyes wide, tears streaming out, and Steve Rogers can only scream in side his mind…and the last scene is a fade out of the cell, which has a clip board hanging on it that says the following…..Shield Containment cell, subject Steve Rogers, Captain America; Diagnosis: Constant Medical Breakdowns:Dementia, Memory Lapses: …..

Physician….Doctor Stephen Strange….and we fade to black….How’s that for a dream sequence!
