Welcome back! Don't forget to subscribe to the Comicgasm RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
First, I don’t know what to think. On one hand I’m like “YAY NOW WE’RE SURE THAT MARVEL WILL NEVER GO BANKRUPT ALSO HOWARD THE DUCK AND DONALD DUCK CROSSOVER OMFG WHAT ABOUT A SILVER SURFER PIXAR MOVIE.”
But now, we’re not too sure if Disney also gets creative control over Marvel’s output (God, I hope not). I mean, Disney would never let Grant Morrison’s New X-Men see print.
I hope we don’t see Marvel’s output Disney-fied for a family audience. Really. Disney, don’t ruin it for us nerds.
Also, I’m serious about that Howard the Duck/Donald Duck crossover. Make it happen, Marvel/Disney.

REVIEWS: Flash: Rebirth #4, Batman: The Widening Gyre #1, Deadpool #14
Posted in DC, Marvel, ReviewsHello there people! I’m here to deliver more comic book reviews despite a bad bout of writer’s block and an all-encompassing feeling of an upcoming existential angst. Okay. So I just finished a rant here on Comicgasm and it’s not even my blog! Meh. Introductory paragraph finished awkwardly, let’s get to the reviews.
Flash: Rebirth #4
Holy shit, that was some ride. After lounging in boring-land for the first three issues, finally Flash: Rebirth gets into full gear. Read the rest of this entry »

So I have my comic book stash for the week ready, but I just can’t do my reviews just yet. Too lazy. So instead of making some half-assed review that’ll probably incite some nerd rage, let me just plug this event for you instead:
Yeah, Black Market EX. Personally, I’m not a toy collector (not that I don’t want to be one, but it’s an expensive hobby and I might have to let go of a girl or two from my harem because of the expenses) but I could see by now that it’s going to be pretty freaking sweet.

OK RJ today is COMIC RELEASE DAY and if you don’t post today, blame Magic the Gathering and his vacation trip to Lala Land – the place where love is true and unfortunately, the ONLY thing.
We’ve all been there folks! And thus I’m free to do soem risky moves today. So instead of doing my usual Green Lantern Geoff Johns-ass kissing, I’ll write about what happened to me this morning. (uh-oh).
Arrived in the office, with tons of work to do I log on to YM and notice that an OLD friend from high school was online – Lico Reloj. I remember conducting a “Comics and Photography” workshop to make an excuse to get high school women of Assumption Antipolo from their stern nunnery and into our influence. Needless to say we really enjoyed the hell out of it.
But like all crooked things I do, I am completely honest about it. Lico IS a comic man – a highly underrated comic writer and artist at that from the Philippines, now living in the U.S. I’m trying to justify why we got high school girls from AA. Besides, I was high school at that time. He has graciously linked me to a webcomic with a character based upon himself – THE FIFTY PESO NINJA.
As you guys will have to read and comment on the comic, I assure you that it is AWESOME. It mixes wit, Japanese manga con hielo tastefully topped off with a Filipino flavor. It has action, comedy and boobies. I swear. The FPN is a hero to us geeks everywhere.
I swear guys not all that glitters is downloaded from Kaskus. Check out this webcomic and once you finish reading it, we’ll have a rally to bug Lico to make more issues.

FYI – Fifty Peso Ninja was nominated for BEST WEBCOMIC. yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

Ok, I think it’s been pretty obvious that I’ve been ignoring this site lately. I’ve been.. distracted.
I have no excuse(infatuation), but here’s something to let you know that I still care.
heehee, filler post. I mean.. guh! Look! BOOBS!

Fun fact: Batman is never outnumbered.

Well me and RJ just came home from discovering the secret tribe of hot Tibetan women. But when we told them that we were unwilling to impregnate them, they chased us out using poison-tipped spears. RJ is still traumatized so I guess it will be just me making a post for now.
Blackest Night: Superman looks like it will be a good series on its own! Even without it being too tied up with the Green Lantern story (for now), the concept of Kal-L and the rest of the dead cast of Superman & Co. stands out quite well.
Much to my disappointment (just a bit) they really didn’t kill anyone major this time around. As we have found out, the Black Lanterns of Earth 1 / Sector 2814 / just Earth if you are not a geek are forming their own Justice League – who are of course EVIIIL zombies with superpowers.
I am a bit iffy at the fact though that so far, Blackest Night is seeming to be redundant. Basic plot line is as follows: Somebody dead rises and that somebody dead makes living superheroes feel bad about themselves by saying over and over where they went wrong – and they punch each others’ faces out for no apparent reason.
This is why Superman became EMO in the issue:
Lest I spoil the comic too much, I won’t reveal anything else. Overall it is a good comic and a series that commands high potential and expectations. I just hope Blackest Night will go further than the plot lines that they have been using for now – such as revealing WHAT the Black Lanterns are after, WHY they see the living as a combination of emotions and WHAT is with their power levels?
One last thing though just to spoil you if you haven’t read it, but not only did Kal-L (Earth 2 Superman) become a Black Lantern, but so did Zor-El and Earth-2 Lois Lane. YIKES! That oughta teach you to read the comic before the review!
If you are following Blackest Night, needless to say a must-read. 4/5 stars.

Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #603, Archie #600, Daredevil #500, X-Factor #47, Wolverine: Weapon X #4. Also, Haikus!
Posted in Archie, Marvel, Reviews, WolverineOh look, it’s Friday, and that means us Comicgasm monkeys have to write reviews to satisfy your comic book urges! Even if our reviews are a day late so it really won’t mean anything because I’m pretty sure you’ve already read these issues and our opinions would be pretty much superfluous! How’s this for a filler intro!
First, apologies for the lack of articles. You see, RJ, Fiel and I have been stuck in the mountains of Tibet where we discovered a secret tribe of hot Tibetan women. The welcome fellatio we received from them was so intense this blog actually stopped churning updates.
To make it up for you, Lady Bullseye and I have set up this little slapstick routine, where one of us ends up with a concussion…
Thanks for taking one for the team, Lady Bullseye! Read the rest of this entry »
