And we’re back! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here, but it’s my blog and that’s life sometimes. Anyway, the new teaser trailer for Thor: Ragnorak hit the net today and I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to be as bowled over as I was! Cate Blanchett as Hela makes all the sense in the world to me; there’s so much going on in the trailer that it’s hard to talk about all of it! You just have to watch it for yourself! I will say, seeing Thor getting his classic helmet back was one of the highlights for me!
For quite some time I’ve been meaning to talk to Scott Snyder in an interview capacity. That said, I’ve also wanted to talk to Jeff Lemire; they’re both masters of their craft, so why wouldn’t I? So when the chance came to interview them both, at the same time, how could I possibly refuse? I couldn’t. And so I interviewed them, asking questions and receiving incredibly poignant answers. I should like to add that you’d be hard-pressed to find two nicer individuals than Scott Snyder and Jeff Lemire. They are gentlemen through and through, with plenty of wisdom to impart and an equal amount of kindness and patience. Today, well, November 23, 2016 to be precise, their comic A.D. After Death was released. I picked it up and at the very least, I encourage you to take a peak at it. While I’m at it, I might suggest you check out my interview with them over at Bleeding Cool !
Jeff Lemire is a creator with not only a tremendous body of work, but a tremendous body of GOOD work. Readers flock to his stories, if only because they are so rich and unique; his writing constantly feels fresh and original. From your typical superhero books to the weird and bizarre in the indie universes he occasionally delves in, Mr. Lemire has talent, pure and simple. His latest comic, Black Hammer, published by Dark Horse Comics, is everything you’d expect from Lemire. Having already read the first issue, I can tell you it’s certainly worth your money if you’re in the market for an atypical superhero comic. I was lucky enough to interview Mr. Lemire about his work and you can check out my interview over at Bleeding Cool !
Cullen Bunn has established himself as a prominent writer throughout the years and getting the chance to talk to such a talent was something I couldn’t pass up! With a new Dark Horse Comics series coming out on July 12, featuring the pulp hero Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Slayer looks like it’s going to be a hell of a fun read! Throughout the interview, the two of us spoke on everything from what makes Conan such a beloved character, to what we can expect to see in his comics-rested future.

Revealed only yesterday, I hadn’t heard one peep about the upcoming Legend of Tarzan. You’d think something Tarzan-related would garner more attention, but I’m sure as we get closer to the July 1, 2016 release date, there’ll be more publicity. Regardless, the trailer is definitely presenting a movie worth watching, as Alexander Skarsgard takes on the mantle of one of Edgar Rice Burrough’s most beloved and iconic characters. As a Tarzan fan myself, I’m happy to see not just an excellent cast, but a movie that looks like it’ll do the mythology justice.
Yes, yes, and double yes!! Finally! At last, I am finally excited for this movie! The previous trailer was kind of eh, but this one…holy crap! It had everything we wanted and so much more! Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor, Doomsday…and did I see Wonder Woman?! Yes, yes I did!
I’m a little late to the party with this one, but I think everyone will live. I couldn’t not post this trailer. My thoughts for the trailer are the following: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The prequel nobody asked for: The Huntsman Winter’s War. After the first Snow White and the Huntsman, which if anybody is wondering was absolutely awful, you’d hope the powers that be would realize the movie’s mediocrity. This was not the case and/or they didn’t care and thought it would be a great idea to make a prequel. Now, despite rocking a stellar cast, featuring the likes of Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, I have little to no hope for The Huntsman Winter’s War. Now, I could be wrong, and it could end up winning the Academy Award for Greatest Movie Ever…but I doubt that.
Do you like Super Smash Bros.? Of Course you do! Do you like Final Fantasy VII? If you say anything BUT yes, then why are you reading this?! No matter, it’s time get that adrenaline pumping because Cloud is coming to the much-loved Super Smash Bros. series! The video above showcases a ton of his moves, and by golly, Cloud looks like he’ll be an especially epic character; and can we talk about those finishing moves? The man can cut stages in half! At this point, I might just have to bite the bullet and buy the WII U.
You read that right! Titan Comics is at it again, giving readers a new comic book featuring Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor! They’ve been doing some great stuff with their Doctor Who comic line, from their The Four Doctors crossover, to giving Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor his own series! Featuring the Time Lord in his, arguably, most iconic look, along with companion Sarah Jane Smith, the duo will take front and center in a 5-part miniseries.
The story, titled Gaze of the Medusa, and written by Gordon Rennie and Emma Beeby, with art by Brian Williamson, will showcase the Doctor and Sarah Jane in Victorian London, coming face-to-face with a enigmatic woman who controls a literal army of cyclopian monsters.
