To be honest, I never really had high hopes for Spider-Man: One Moment In Time to begin with. Brand New Day was rocking like crazy, giving us some of the best Spider-Man stories in twenty years like Shed and The Grim Hunt. Most of us were willing to forget the whole One More Day ordeal. Spider-Man made a fucking deal with the devil to save his aunt’s life, and the cost was his marriage and give or take five years of his life, and surprisingly, there are a few nerds that are willing to live with that. It’s not a pretty situation, but if it means great stories, than it can’t be all that bad, right?

Just when we were all starting to enjoy Amazing Spider-Man once again, Joe Quesada pulls O.M.I.T. out of his ass to answer questions nobody was asking. The whole premise of O.M.I.T. was simple – since Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson were no longer married, what happened? How did Aunt May survive being shot in the freaking stomach? And how the hell did the world forget Spider-Man’s identity?

I’m pretty sure you guys are all aware by now that us guys at Comicgasm are all huge Green Lantern nerds. And we’re obviously excited for the new Green Lantern Movie, starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, Blake Lively (HHHNNNNGH) as Carol Ferris, Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond, and Mark Strong as Sinestro. Okay, we’re not exactly excited with the guy playing Hal Jordan, but Martin Campbell’s directing this, and if Casino Royale is any indication, this movie is going to be awesome.

A few months before, we’ve seen some concept art of the GL movie leak. We don’t know if those were the concepts they used for the movie, but they were awesome. Now, from MTV, we have here newly-revealed promo art for Green Lantern. (continue reading…)

Iron Man 2 came, went, made gazillions of money, made geeks orgasm, and probably left the non-nerd part of the audience scratching their heads in bewilderment. Critics have panned this movie to high heavens, while nerds continued to orgasm all the way to the third viewing. But who cares? Comicgasm editors RJ and Ade weigh in on how awesome or stupid the movie is.

WARNING: this review contains major spoilers for Iron Man 2.

Ade: Okay, so, honestly I thought Iron Man 2 was a tighter movie than its predecessor. It’s got better action sequences, the movie didn’t lose any steam by the third act, and oh my goodness they seem to have an actual script this time. Although I can’t definitely say that it’s a better movie than the first one; there’s absolutely no way any scene in Iron Man 2 can defeat the glorious origin story of the first movie.

RJ: Suffering from conjunctivitis, my eyes were leaking mucopurulent discharge non-stop. I had to force my right eye to not swell for the duration of this film with willpower alone. Anything moderately bright burns my eyes, but all those explosions were totally worth not being able to see after the movie!

Ade: Um, okay, RJ. Thanks for that… insightful and way too revealing bit of information. So if anyone went to Iron Man 2 and ended up with conjunctivitis, it’s RJ’s fault. Anyway, before I go on with this scholarly review of the film, may I complain about Oliva Munn’s cameo? I was hoping that she’d be all hot like The Scarlet Witch or The Wasp, but no, she had to end up as a reporter. Way to go, Marvel, great way to waste talent. What I’m saying, Marvel, is that Olivia Munn needs to be dressed up as a hyper-sexualized superheroine that will claim to be for the benefit of the fairer sex but in reality it’s just an excuse for her to be in a skin-tight latex costume with her cleavage showing for us nerds to ogle at. Mmmm. Tits.

If you guys remember, the very excellent TMNT cartoon was cancelled because Mirage Studios had to sell the property to Nickelodeon. Sure, it was heartbreaking and all, but at least they’ve given us the awesome Turtles Forever as a fitting send off.

So, over at Latino Review, they’ve received a mysterious image of a Ninja Turtle head, purportedly from a new live-action movie. From the site:

Back when I was working for another site, I was contacted by a person who will remain anonymous. Said person was ready to leak what they claimed to be the plot of the new, re-booted TMNT Live Action movie if the person they were working for at that time screwed them.

I was hesitant, but kept in contact just in case.

Anonymous Dude disappeared after a brief e-mail that he had re-connected with the TMNT staff and wouldn’t need me to light a fire under anyone’s ass. I still don’t know if it was a guy with a paranoid dillusion or a guy with the actual new TMNT story somewhere on his desk. I kind of don’t want to know, considering it all ended up being inconsequential.

Once again, something has rolled into my inbox with absolutely no explanation. I’m not sure it needs one.

And here’s the new-look Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle:

Okay. Gamma Squad was fooled for a while, but came out and said that this was just fan art. No details as of the moment, though. But if this is indeed real, I am going berserk because THAT IS NOT HOW THE TURTLES SHOULD LOOK LIKE GODDAMMIT.

Yes, the guy who played Johnny Storm in those HORRIBLE Fantastic Four movies is now going to play Captain America. And as I’m writing this, the internet actually broke in two as people are ranting non-stop on their LiveJournals about how bad this casting choice is, and they’re probably arranging a protest at Marvel Studios right now, so they can storm the shit out of the building and kill whoever did that decision.
