BREAKING NEWS: Disney Buys Marvel
by Ade Magnaye on Aug.31, 2009, under Marvel, News, WTF

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.

Hello 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. (continue reading…)
Black Market EX

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. (continue reading…)
The Fifty Peso Ninja

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!!!
Not Dead Yet(again!)

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.
