Venom joins the Guardians

Seems like Flash is reaching for the stars when he joins the Gaurdians in their cosmic adventures. Along with Captain Marvel.
The idea is there, but will it really work? Sure the symbiote is alien, but we already know where they come from! It was already explained in

Fantastic Four Redesign

Guess who's going more edgy, more red, more black! Fantastic Four, with the relauch on its way, what are the FF going to be showing off in the relaunch? Red and Black
I got to say it's pretty bad looking. What was wrong with what they had? At least blue had a exploration tone to it, along with white looking like a science theme costume. But red is just too out there. In my opinion it looks dumb, I feel like the red and black scheme is something for the Thunderbolts to have, or a villains group.
But hopefully we'll get a good reason as to why they switch to red and black in the first issue.
At least we get Fin Fang Foom!

Cataclysm:Ultimate Comics Spiderman #1 Review(Spoilers)

So with the title and the cover you get a feeling that the issue is going to be the aftermath or the continuation of Miles as Galactus attacks the city. But what we get instead is a issue on the events before Galactus shows up. It takes place after the ending of Ultimate Spiderman, which is fine. Just not in a Cataclysm title. While the issue bring the transition for the characters in the Ultimate Spiderman series to the event, it really doesn't have anything to do with the event till the last page.


If you want a continuation of the Cataclysm event, skip this issue, if you want a better ending to the Ultimate Spiderman series pick this up!

Possible Wonder Woman role in "Superman/Batman"

Not much is said on this subject, other then Warner Bros. is looking into a female lead for the upcoming Superman/Batman movie. The three actresses they're looking at is Gal Gadot from "Fast and Furious, Eldoie Young, from G.I. Joe, and finally; Olga Kurylenko from Oblivion.

The casting description reportedly reads “tall, brunette, athletic and exotic.” It seems like a close description of Diana. But seems a little too good to be true. Even if she was added into the movie, I'm sure they would add her name in the title. But only time will tell...

Forever Evil #3(Spoilers)

So with the third installment in the event, what has changed? A lot actually!
The issue opens up with Batman explaining what happen to the League when the encountered the Crime Syndicate. Seems that Deathstrom was able to open up the matrix in firestorm and trap the Justice League, and JLA inside of him. But the issue kind of drops that within a couple of pages.

We then cut to Lex and Bizzaro attempting to track down the Crime Syndicate. They're both successful in establishing an up-link to know where they are at all times. Lex watches Ultraman and we are treated to a very lack luster and very disappointing fight. Also, I'd like to note, in this fight, the art went down hill real fast.

It's hilarious to see! But the issue is redeemed with a Rouges vs. Deathstorm and Powering fight. Major things happen in this one skirmish. Deathstorm is able to extract the power in Captain Colds DNA and make him powerless. As the Rouges try to escape, the portal is busted. Captain Cold is then shot out near Lex and Bizzaro. They propose to work together with Black Manta and Black Adam. It's an interesting team to see.

Over all this issue was okay. Nothing to fancy happened until the end of it. The story felt kind of slow and the action was sort and extremely boring. I know I said the Rouges fight redeemed the issue, only in the sense that we got to more of the Rouges be bad asses. The art suffers greatly here, as seen above. If that doesn't turn you off, you will need to read Rouges Rebellion to understand some parts of the issue. This event is alright so far, if I were you, I'd go with Cataclysm over Forever Evil.

Forever Evil #3: 2/5









Cataclysm #1 review (Spoilers)

So it's begun, the Ultimate Marvel Universe's last stand! Galactus has finally arrived and is hungry.
The story begins with Miles and Ganke in New Jersey, Miles is going on about seeing a giant man with a funny hat. Of course Ganke doesn't believe him un till Galactus shows up in the middle of the city. Of course Spiderman is the only one on the scene at first. Him being a street-level hero he can't do much to stop Galactus; instead, Miles tries to save as many people as possible till the Ultimates show up.

When the Ultimates do show up, it's a something to see. The art work is absolutely stunning, but the actual fight feels hopeless. It's already been proven that the mainstream universe Marvel is stronger then the Ultimate; so, how the Ultimates will handle such a threat will be interesting. It really makes you want to continue reading. You can feel the panic and chaos in the city and among the Ultimates when you see them stressed and worried about this cosmic threat they've never seen.

The art, story, and over all issue was good. Only minor gripe is that everyone has to bring up that Galactus is giant and has a funny hat it kind of takes the seriousness out of the story. Over all the issue is a great start off to the final battle for the Ultimate Universe.

Breaking News

You thought Arrow was the only DC superhero getting a show? Wrong, CW just announced they're developing a script for an Hourman TV show! Executives for the up coming show will be Dan Lin, Jennifer Gwartz; while, Michael Caleo will be writing the script.

Hopefully this show will do good, I for one loved Hourman in Justice Society. But I don't think he's a big enough cape to pull off his on show, as sad as that is.
