Oh look! We finally have a comic review that actually gets published on time! Well, whaddaya know! This has been a pretty rockin’ week, so protect your faces, because Sentry’s going to punch your teeth in if you don’t behave!

And now, on to the reviews! Read the rest of this entry »

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.

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.

Happy birthday Stan Lee!

Now that the decade is about to end, the Comicgasm staff will walk you through the worst comics of 2000-2009 and why they suck.

Ultimatum is what happens when you get Magneto to reverse the magnetic poles, flood New York, and practically kill half the superhuman population. He’s killing people because A ROBOT WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SCARLET WITCH KILLED HER, SPARKING A BATTLE THAT ULTIMATELY KILLED QUICKSLIVER TOO. Everybody goes crazy and THEY KILL ONE ANOTHER IN THE BLOODIEST, MESSIEST, AND CRAPPIEST WAY POSSIBLE because this is a realistic world and it’s grim and gritty, right? Also, throw in some characters who EAT CORPSES JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT even though they’ve never shown any signs of cannibalism before. Read the rest of this entry »

Now that the decade is about to end, the Comicgasm staff will walk you through the worst comics of 2000-2009 and why they suck.

One More Day basically has Peter Parker going “OMG MY AUNT GOT SHOT IN THE STOMACH OMG IT’S MY FAULT I HAVE TO SAVE HER LIFE” and then Mephisto going “YO DAWG I CAN SAVE YOUR GERIATRIC AUNT IF YOU TRADE YOUR MARRIAGE TO YOUR SUPERMODEL WIFE. ALSO I’M THE DEVIL AND EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE A SUPERHERO YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE A DEAL WITH ME”

And then Peter goes “K I CAN LIVE WITH THAT” and then Mephisto goes “BTW BRO YOUR SUPERMODEL WIFE IS ALSO PREGNANT WITH YOUR DAUGHTER HA-HA YOU TRADED THEM FOR YOUR OLD SMELLY AUNT SUX 2 B U LOLOLOLOL” and then Peter goes “WHUT YOU SUX FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU-“

And then the world somehow forgets Peter Parker is Spider-Man.

Oh look, it’s me again, battling a fever so I can write up the blogosphere’s best (even though it’s a few days deleyed) comic book reviews!

Adventure Comics #5

I didn’t like Adventure Comics #4, for some reason. Maybe I was accustomed to Blackest Night tie-ins taking themselves too seriously that I totally got lost in the wacky fourth wall-breaking issue. Read the rest of this entry »
