I’ve been a Star Wars fan since the original movie in 1977. That flick introduced an entire generation to such things as X-wing Fighters, Jedi Knights, Sith Lords, and the Death Star. It presented a classically simply good-versus-evil story peppered with blasters, droids, and Stormtroopers. Thankfully, Dark Horse Comics keeps the Force alive by finding even more clever ways … more

As I mentioned in my review of X #0, I was there – back in the early 1990’s – when X first premiered on the streets of Arcadia. In those early exploits, he was little more than a mysterious vigilante – a man cloaked in as much mystery as he was bloodspray – but readers had no doubt when the masked man committed himself to a task he’d see it through. … more

Everyone knew that, once the Death Star exploded in those final minutes of the first Star Wars flick ever filmed, the Empire was not just going to roll over and play dead. No, as audiences knew, there were plenty of nefarious characters who couldn’t wait to strike back at our rebels. Yavin was only the beginning, and what’s developed in the ‘shadow … more

While Hollywood studios adapt comic books with changes to what their essences are, Warner Bros. animation (DCAU) chooses to adapt stories straight from the comic books. After the impressive two-part adaptation of Frank Miller's “The Dark Knight Returns”, I do have to admit that my hopes have been elevated to the point where I wish that each adaptation would match it in terms … more

Unlock this badge by reviewing Iron Man 3.
Jon Favreau’s first two Iron Man films were more or less mixed bags for me. While I thought the first movie lacked ambition and did not take any risks, the screenplay and the direction was steady and was able to capitalize on its strengths rather than its weaknesses. It made the comic books come alive even in a rather underwhelming manner. The second movie proved to be a mere launch pad for … more

I can't be the only one who got a Dark Knight Rises feel from this can I? Third time out for Iron Man in his solo series and the biggest thing that this movie has going for it over what is arguabbly his DC counterpart is that this movie doesn't have the issues ice skating uphill to outdo it's predecessor. The Dark Knight was so great that there was no way … more
