Here is a great list of 10 of the most powerful comic book characters who populate both the Marvel and DC fictional universes. Number 6 is my favorite on the list!
6. Thanos
Publisher: Marvel Comics
First Appearance: Iron Man #55 (February 1973)
Origins: Titan (Saturn Moon)
Sure, many a villain threatens to destroy the universe but Thanos is the only one who can actually do it. He possesses immeasurable levels of intelligence, strength, endurance, stamina, and durability. Thanos also has exhibited the ability to manipulate enormous amounts of cosmic energy. An obsession with the female embodiment of death, led him to gain control of the infinity gauntlet, ascending him to godhood. Thanos used his power to destroy half the life in our universe by simply snapping his fingers.
Comic Alliance has called my attention to an opportunity to read the series bible for the Batman Animated Series. It shows the choices and themes that wee saw playing throuoghout the series. This is a hugely important historical document because this series started airing in 1992 and set the stage for every single animated series based on DC Comics characters released ever since. This particular article contains a link to that document and summarizes how important this is.
It's the eighth night of Hanukkah, and as the holiday comes to a close, ComicsAlliance contributor Eric Drumm shares some of his favorite (and less-than-favorite) fellow Jews from the comic book world, mostly based on his stylized bad-to-the-bone factor. From the heroic to the villainous to the completely obscure, there's a little something for everyone. Continue reading for a look at a few of comics' most celebrated potential celebrators of the Festival of Lights.
Here is an entry from the article: The Thing
The rock hard Hebrew known as the Thing actually has a long history of kicking it Hanukkah style. Sure, he punches out aliens, but he has been shown quite a few times stopping into schul when he can. Perhaps the most devout practicing Jew in the funny books, Big Ben waves his talis with pride. Legend has it the Thing's Judaism was an homage to his very Jewish and very talented creator, Jack Kirby.
Comic's Alliance has presented a thought provoking interview about where Marvel is going. Will Marvel do more multi-book crossover stories that takes months/years to unfold? According to this article not so much. I'm gong to miss those.
Here is a great article discussing why Tony Hawk's latest game, sporting a skate board peripheral. I agree with the analysis. The game would have worked better if you could easily pull off stuff that you can't do in real life. This is a good article!
Here is the first official poster for the new TRON movie!
An official synopsis of the film was also released, reading as such:
"TRON: LEGACY is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF BRIDGES), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant Quorra (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous."
I saw this great interview with James Cameron. It was good to get a look into his head and see how he came up with some stuff in that movie and where he thinks the industry is headed
A great documentary of the life and work on Grant Morrision will be shown at ComicCon 2010. I would like to see this one!
"He was game for doing pretty much whatever we had in mind," Meaney said of the initial shooting. "We covered stories about his family, childhood and career. It was an extensive accounting."
There's a lot of ground to cover. Morrison has lived a very full life, from playing in rock bands to experimenting as a transvestite to becoming, like Alan Moore, a chaos magician. There's a lot of fertile ground in his personality alone, to say nothing of his sometimes autobiographical comics. In the process, Morrison has become a counterculture icon primed for mainstream crossover.
I've been able to try out the comic book service for PSP. It's fun. I downloaded a couple of free issues and the experience is exactly just like the video below. It's something I would like to use more. Catch up on some of the comics I've missed. I've realized that we can even output the video and read it on TVs and monitors from the PSP. I read the first issue of the Astroboy movie adaption and a free issue of Star Trek. It was a good experience. The thing that amazed me was the realization that this is going to be the way my parents are going to read - comics, books, and magazines.
I saw New Moon.I admit that it was better than I thought it would be. I thought of it as good fiction. The thing is I don't like the changes made to the vampire lore - I mean vampires should not sparkle! I like the way the werewolves were portrayed. However, Bella was really on my nerves my whole movie. She seemed so very selfish to me and seemed look at both Edward and Jacob as no more as extensions of her own happiness. I wanna know what is it about her that everyone seems to want h4er. I don't get it. The fight scenes were my favoirte - and they were too few and too far in between.
Finally, an official trailer for Iron Man 2! I bet they are going to show this before Avatar. I especially like the end of the trailer...Iron Man and War Machine...side-by-side! May 7, 2010 can't come fast enough!
I've been waiting for this! The comic book subscription service for PSP is finally online with new comics! Most of them I have not read!I can't wait to try it out! I'm wondering what is the difference between using the digital service Marvel already has besides the additional publishers and that I could now take my comics with me where ever I go on the PSP. I've had it confirmed on Twitter that this service has multiple publishers and only works on the PSP and PSP Go.
I found the above link from Comics Alliance. It's an interesting picture depicting Marvel's merger with Disney. The post also pointed out that the merger becomes official January 1, 2010. I did not know that.
You can find the full picture at the link: "Epic Misney"
Here is a good interview with actor Lance Henriksen on his work on video games and movies. I have throughly enjoyed his work. He was in the first Aliens vs Predator movie that was released in 2004 and he will be doing voice work in the upcoming video game.
This was a great post reminding us that Justice League Unlimited was ground breaking and more than just a Children's action cartoon. I mean how many interracial couples can you truly name on television and to see them actually kiss? I can only think of about 4 or 5 couples where a black person and a white person have been shown kissing on television. Hawkgirl and Green Lantern is one of them.
