Page by page, panel by panel annotations of DC Comics' summer events and crossovers
At least potentially.
There’s reports of another DC title being picked up for a TV show:
The Secret Six could be heading our way over the next year or so and, if they stick with the Gail Simone era as shown above, Mrs Earth-Prime will likely be very happy as the series as written by Simone has long been a shared favourite of ours.
I guess we wait and see.
That’s right – I’m going twice weekly on the mash-up front. I’ve got so far ahead of myself on these, I thought I’d spread the joy!
I admit to being HUGELY influenced by the wonderful Super-Team Family blog which has been doing this for years (and a lot better) on an almost daily basis, and have mashed up a few comic covers.
Twice a week I randomly generate two dates and then compare the titles I own from both of them, trying to find some covers that, with a little basic photoshopping, I can mash together, and then I force the results on you lovely people.
On the off-chance there are any DC writers/artists reading this, if you could make this scene happen in a DC comic book, I will cheerfully give you $100.
There is simply not enough Heckler in this world.
Back on my old blog, I ran a series of related posts on Mondays and I’ve been wanting to do something along those lines here.
So, and I admit to being HUGELY influenced by the wonderful Super-Team Family blog which has been doing this for years (and a lot better) on an almost daily basis, I’ve mashed up a few comic covers.
Each week I randomly generate two years and two months and then compare the titles I own from both those dates, trying to find some covers that, with a little basic photoshopping, I can mash together, and then I force the results on you lovely people.
. . . sure it’s not, Batman, sure it’s not . . .
Both Mrs Earth-Prime and I had read reviews of the Venom movie before going to see it yesterday . . . and we weren’t disappointed.
The film is, simply put, a mess. It doesn’t know whether it wants to be funny, a dark superhero film, or a promo for a video game tie-in.
I have a lot of time for Tom Hardy and will happily watch him in most things, but here he’s just stumbling around waiting for the next CGI set piece to come along. There are a few flashes of what could have been, particularly when he’s having what appears to outsiders to be having a one-sided conversation, but those flashes are rare. The rest of the cast are simply bystanders who are used as cannon fodder or stock characters that don’t really do much.
I won’t rehash the plot because – like most of Marvel’s origin films – it boils down to good guy with power X ending up fighting bad guy with power X and guess who wins? None of the action set pieces are particularly noteworthy and the climactic fight between Venom and the bad guy is just one long round of fast edited CGI goop fighting against another CGI goop.
Oh, and there’s a mid-credits scene with a fairly big-name actor who wears a wig that looks it came from a Happy Meal who, presumably, is being set up as the bad guy for the next film.
Honestly, I think I enjoyed the trailer to Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse more.
Venom gets 1 poorly made boys’ Halloween costume out of 5.
