Mr. Heshka will be appearing live at Vancouver Comic Show (BC, Canada) Oct. 25/15 Sunday. Info here for a 100 table local comicon:

Heshka in Vancouver, BC.

If anything goes up from the Mega Man movie news, it's the original NES game that already has some collectability just by being a marquee NES game.

 

Agreed. I'm a fan of the mega man game and capcom fan boy. The last thing I would want is a comic . I didn't even know they made comics of mega man.

I think there was a new comic released last week

Not to be confused with DC's new Omega Men relaunch.

Saw an X-files #1 raw Topps priced at $25 at Wizard Chicago. Start stocking up now from the bargain bins.

just watched the movie download. Too many gaps in basic logic between Earth and the Negative Zone in the last 1/3 of the movie. I never read the Ultimate FF, so don't know if Ultimate totally changed Dr Doom's origin from the Lee/Kirby version.

Better to watch Trank's Chronicle on dvd or download for a decent superhero story set in Seattle, WA with well developed characters and logical explanation of learning to use new powers.

I love the FF comics and want to give this movie a chance but Bleeding Cool review says:

1. Sue Storm is not American

2. The Thing did not get his powers from cosmic rays and does not wear pants.

Fox cannot even introduce the Black Panther, as Panther's rights are still with Marvel Studios.

Race to the bottom. Let's see if FF reboot movie can defeat DC's Jonah Hex Rotten Tomatoes score of 0.0 or was it negative? it was so bad that it was just BAD. But my 2 best buddies still paid $12 each to see Jonah Hex on the big screen after I warned them of the sad RT score.

Not sure if this Dave Stevens Amazing Heroes Rocketeer cover was ever reprinted. I like the homage to Kaluta's Shadow hardcover book cover with the shrunken characters in the hero's hand <3 on the lower left hand corner.

Stevens also drew a new Rocketeer cover with Bettie Page for Amaz Heroes Preview # 145 (July, 1988). Don't think it has an interview but it does reprint about 3 other Dave Stevens independent press (thumbs u covers in b/w inside. Might still fit in a slab as it is 1/2 inch thick, comic book sized.

Is a toddler Barbara Gordon Jr (?) going to be on tv's Gotham? Casting announcement info please.

$1 US greenback is worth about $1.38 Canadian loonies this week but the loon is on a sinking trend per usual.

Humans UK tv series is more disturbing than Ex-Machina movie which I greatly enjoyed: artificial intelligence.

Perhaps the wife or GF is waiting for 1st app. of technologist/scientist Ms. Pym as the Wasp? Actress is female lead from Lost tv series and Elf-warrioress (thumbs u from Hobbit movies.

Some nice Centaurs came out circa 1936-1937.

Of the newer Space or Scyfy tv series so far, I like:

1. Dark Matter - Dark Horse related series that I never read. Kind of like a mix of Firefly and The 100 tv series.

2. Humans - UK series with good writing about house-bots (androids) with some gaining artificial intelligence.

3. Kiljoys - featuring Aaron Ashmore (X-men movie's Ice Man) and team as bounty hunters but much weaker writing than Dark Matter.

All are downloadable from net.

"... and the action scenes are like children fighting." This is accurate compared to 1977 Shaw Brothers kung fu movies with acrobatic wire work (later used to great effect in USA Matrix movies) and the ultra-violence of The Flying Guillotine parts 2 and 3.

Watched the torrent of Supergirl. It was supposed to be filmed in Vancouver, BC but I could not see any specific architectural backgrounds of that city unlike the Flash tv series where you see downtown (thumbs u Vancouver's football and World Cup Women's soccer stadium every episode.

Almost too fast paced for a 1 hour pilot but well done. Glad to see Harrison Ford's wife back on tv.

Stephen Platt seems to be the Steranko of his generation. Draw no more than 20 comics but ride the wave for your entire career.

Perhaps a lot of the attraction for North American crowds is the diverse and craggly Australian landscape. Definately different from the Grand Canyon but similiar to Monument Valley, USA.

I need to see this movie

The reviews and reactions from those who have seen it sound amazing

Main 'weakness' is the 1st 20 minutes when there is hardly any dialog or back story narrative for those who cannot recall Road Warrior or Thunderdome from 30+ years ago. Recommend you see Grandmaster (story of Ip Man) on dvd as a better overall action film. A ballet of kung fu violence, stunts, and a side of opium. Do not confuse with the other 3 Ip Man movie dvd's one can borrow from a well stocked public library.

I did see Thunderdome on Blu-ray at Wal-mart yesterday for about $5.99.

I plugged in my VCR and re-watched Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome on VHS. What a retro experience to see crackly VHS tape intro, no sub-titles, krappy pan and scan tv format and muddy non-stereo amplified sound. Mel Gibson never looked so young. Enjoyed Road Warrior best as an intro to part 4: Fury Road. (thumbs u Now to hit the rewind button to reset the tape.

If they release a Director's Cut, the Fury Road dvd may have an extra hour, as George Miller started with 450 hours of raw footage edited down by his wife Margaret Sixel.

Guess the movie critics enjoyed Mad Max more than Avengers 2 movie because of all the references to how to survive post-Apocalyse: fight for water, gasoline, repopulating the planet, replanting the scorched Earth.

I echo what was previously posted that George Miller would do a great job directing Judge Dredd reboot movie 2: Cursed Earth.

 

Thinking of taking my (soon to be) 11 year old to see this. How much adult content is in this movie?

There is one specific scene 3/4 of the way through Fury Road that is not suitable for an 11 year old: not sexy but disturbing.

Overall, I like all Mad Max movies. The 1st 20 minutes of this one was a real thrill ride but there was so little dialog that some filmgoers may not be able to recall the back story to Mad Max's motivation, as Beyond Thunderdome came out decades ago in 1985. Most of us bought the videocassette; this was way BEFORE the now defunct dvd media.

‘The New Mutants’ Becomes First Official ‘X-Men’ Spinoff

 

Isn't Wolverine the first official X-Men spinoff???

Agreed. I am waiting for New Mutants phase 2 movie to dump my X-force #1's at cover price after holding for 25 years. ka-ching!

After 13 episodes of DD, it is quite a bit better than Gotham due to the realism: DD does get tired in a fist fight. Enjoyed twists and turns in the plot with imperfect Karen Page, Kingpin's and villian's side stories. Solid writing makes DD great, and the sudden deaths of semi-key characters follow the dramatic format of Game of Thrones Season 3. (thumbs u

My buddy just bought a long box of post-Unity Valiants for $10. Works out to about 4c /comic. If you include the cost of the long box itself at $5 value, then 2c/comic. Sounded like a good deal.

Only problem is that it was part of a bundled deal and he had to buy the other 4 long boxes of Image bulk overstock. Does one really need another 5 long boxes to re-bag and store?
