As stated before, Bonds name, heritage, ethnicity, gender, etc. have all been established by his creator in the novels. Keep it faithful and bring him into the current climate. Don’t try to reinvent the character, just create an original one. Plenty of double 0 numbers left. Let 007 take a hiatus and bring us someone new and interesting. Create a 00 cinematic universe, whatever.

Yes, that’s absolutely Dave G’s signature. I have some art by him. Gene Colan chose him in his later years as his inker for many of his commissions. Extremely talented guy.

Didn’t hate it and there were a couple of parts I liked but overall wasn’t impressed.

Never read Thor growing up and didn’t care for any of the Thor movies until Ragnarok. I know, that makes me a bad person but I like what I like. If the same directors doing it, I’m all in.

I really hope this is Snyder’s return to his glory days of Dawn of the Dead, 300 and Watchmen. And the -script for Army of the Dead was written right after Dawn of the Dead and was intended to be a sequel. Then it went into production limbo until it’s netflix revival.

Well that’s too bad about the reviews and I guess their box office. I’ll still check it out.

This seems to be as good a place as any to drop these. I wish she was still in the business.

I couldn’t get through one episode of Z Nation. Glad to hear this one is good, I’m starting it now. As long as there’s no guys with pet tigers I’ll be good.

I gave up on The Walking Dead a year ago, will return to it at some point. Going to start this new series tonight. Hoping for greatness.

What did I do? Oh sorry, movie title ha.

My daughters and I are usually at odds on Marvel movies. They like most of them while I like half of them. But I haven’t seen them in 6 months so our reunion next month will be to marathon the MCU over the course of a week and then go into Infinity Gauntlet.

2003 Hulk is one of the few movies I didn’t like that I purchased anyway. I didn’t like the movie but I loved certain scenes. He’s over the top and cartoony and straight from the pages of an 80’s comic when he runs and Hulk jumps through the desert. The dog fight was just fantastic and funny with clean CGI. The second Hulk movie was a CGI mess. The opening was the best part and the chase aspect reminded me of the old tv show a little. Norton was miscast. Finally, our latest Hulk looks great but the actor doesn’t cut it for me.

Arnolds autograph belongs on a movie poster. That original art stood on its own just fine and now just looks gaudy to me,

I won’t defend the movie but I had no issue with the Martha scene and think the net blew it up for nothing. What I saw was when the name Martha was mumbled, it gave Bruce a moment of pause where he wanted to know why Clark was saying what he thought was his mothers name. It was in that moment that Lois dived between the two covering Clark. Batman was not going to go through her and in a rage came to his senses and just threw it in the other direction. No issue with that scene whatsoever. I just didn’t like the movie. Luckily that warehouse fight scene was worth the price of admission.

Very operatic, I like it.

I remember when news of this movie broke and I was very happy with the choice of actor and extremely disappointed with the choice of director. Phillips has made a couple of decent comedies and a couple of lame comedies. Not much else. I was also excited when I first heard Leto was cast back then for SS but the director failed in bringing out the right performance from him. Leto is a brilliant actor and could have been the best Joker to date but he was restricted by bad writing and direction. Yes, bad direction from Ayer. Remember he wrote Training Day but did not direct it. His only good films that he directed are Fury and End of Watch. That’s it. So now we have the director of the Hangover trilogy taking a shot at it. I’m skeptical. I’m praying it’s going to be awesome though and can’t wait to see the trailer here shortly.

Detective Comics #1000

Just looking through the archives of old Frank Miller threads. Makes me think of the old adage that you can never go home. This was a match made in comics heaven.

As I’ve said before, I only have 2 or 3 sketch covers and paper stock varies from just right to impractical for inked drawings. I’m not paying over a grand for any sketch cover unless Frazetta drew it. Not knocking anyone who would. If you have the funds and it feels good, do it! Here’s one of mine, relatively inexpensive.

In the digital flesh, hi Sean, been a while!

Still miss this one! ^ I think I only have 2 or 3 slabbed sketch covers left. Could only find images for this one.

The whole variant thing never bothered me because I’m not a completist that has to have every variant. I like having options where some of my favorite artists have a shot at the cover. More art is always better than less art and I just buy my favorite variant. Sometimes two or three. Detective 1000 shares a similarity with DKIII and that’s the fact that the variant covers are all much better than what’s inside. I found only one story worth being in the 1000th issue.

They are two separate paintings he did. Here’s a zoom of just one section.

Love this one.

The fact that there wasn’t a story by Frank Miller and Mazzucchelli in this anniversary issue is criminal. I would have paid the cover just for 5 pages of M&M.
