So, more art, allegedly from the Green Lantern movie, surfaced. These are apparently concept art and like the previous batch of images, they’re depicting how the characters will look like in the movie. Now we have Sinestro and a Guardian of the Universe. The Guardian picture is consistent with the previous ones, and Sinestro’s artwork looks a bit different.

From Latino Review:

Of course, there’s a catch. I can’t find any site with an official source confirming that this is indeed concept art from the film, but a person on TheGreenLanternCorps.com’s forum stated that they knew an unnamed source who had stated these images were concept art from the movie.

Now with that caveat in mind, let’s check the images! Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t know if these are real or not, but I’m blown away just the same. Apparently, Green Lantern movie concept art has been leaked and… Christ, it’s perfect. I’m going to shut up now and I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves:

If these are indeed the real thing, then I can say that they are getting it totally right! Unlike the abomination of the previous concept art that was going around the internet before, they’re actually using the classic costumes! I like this. I hope this is indeed legit, and the movie becomes awesome.

By the way, those images came from Cosmic Book News, where they also managed to somehow get their hands on a GL script. They’ve posted a spoiler-filled summary of the script. Again, take it with a grain of salt.

What do you guys think? Is this the real thing? Or is that dude just pulling our legs? Tell me all about it by leaving a comment!

I really, really dug Messiah CompleX. I didn’t care much for Messiah War (heck, I don’t even know if it did anything to changed the status quo), so I don’t really know how I should feel about Second Coming. Although it’s going to be written by one of my favorite comic book writers of the moment, Christopher Yost, I feel like it’s going to be a bit meh. I expected a new mutant era post-Messiah CompleX. Where did we find Hope, the Mutant Messiah after that crossover? Stuck in the future, time-hopping with the motherfucking Cable, trying to escape Bishop. And the mutants stuck in the present suddenly ended up in San Francisco. I actually like this move, but it felt disjointed coming from the fact that the mutants are fucking facing extinction. Then we get aberrations such as the Bianchi-designed costumes, Dark X-Men, and Greg Land.

Billed as the final part of a trilogy starting with Messiah CompleX – and as the closing arc of everything that started with House of M – Second Coming is a crossover between four major X-books – Uncanny X-Men, X-Force, X-Men Legacy, and New Mutants. Like Messiah Complex, the storyline will weave between the four books for several months. In a nutshell, Second Coming sees the return of Cable and Hope to the present, just as Bastion launches his final, terrible campaign against the last of the mutants.

Needless to say, I’m not excited for this. Hope Summers was pushed to the sideline post-Messiah CompleX. I totally lost interest.

… is a bit lonely without Carol around.

… has impeccable detective skills.

Guess who’s coming back soon? Yeah, it’s the original Goddamn Batman!

Also, this Andy Kubert image is all sorts of amazing. Those cavemen don’t stand a chance against Bruce Wayne. I seriously can’t wait for this series by Grant Morrison to come out.

I’ve created a wallpaper of that image by the way. It’s for 16:9 screens and it can be downloaded here.

New Kick-Ass trailer! It’s pretty obvious I’m excited for this film, right?

I totally forgot I was actually writing for this here blog for a while. Heh. Sorry about that. Now I’ll be updating Comicgasm with the help of my spiffy new laptop, so you can expect me to post here more frequently! Yay?

Siege #1

Finally! We’re at the end of Dark Reign, and we get to see Norman Osborn’s fall from grace. He and Loki engineer a disaster that rivals the Stamford incident in Civil War, and we see Osborn assembling the Dark Avengers and the entire freaking Initiatve taking on the floating city of Asgard.
