Weekend summary

Got some announcements to be made and much more to talk about.

First off, the editors of  Multiversitycomics.com loved my first article. If you have yet to read it, check it out http://www.multiversitycomics.com/2010/02/review-omega-flight-alpha-to-omega.html I am well on my way to a staff position.

Next, I have finally caught up on the big two’s Major Events. Yes, that does include Siege. Short reviews for the comics

Blackest Night #4-6, Green Lantern #47-50, Green Lantern Corps #41-43: EPIC. Wow. I am digging Blackest Night and in a way it’s helped rejuvenated my drive to read comics. Still need to read the tie ins and mini-series, but so far so good.

Siege #1 an #2: #1 was slow but the Solider Field moment made my jaw dropped. Then again I didn’t read the previews. #2 on the other hand was just, wow. Sentry is truly crazy. I am liking Siege and what’s going to happen post Siege. I just want the comics to not be under editorial mandated storylines. Makes for tired storylines. I want the writers to relax and tell what they want. Amazing Spider-man and Fantastic Four have already done this and I am love the Avengers line-up that was announced. Still need to read Embedded and other tie ins I see fit.

I am revamping my pull list soon and it will be most excellent. Already I have Amazing Spider-man, Green Lantern, Flash, Brightest Day, will have Avengers and Thor. Still wondering what else to pick up. Suggestions would be welcomed.

Now for the announcements:

I will be working a special Valentine’s Day review of One More Day. Best comic to pick, huh? Not sure if it will be posted here or exclusive through Multiversity. More news to come.

I will have another article up over at Multiversity comics and it will be a Character Spotlight. I like what I’ve wrote and I think you will as well.

That does it for now. Just wanted to round up a crazy week.

Thanks for Reading.

Remember all text reviews will be through Multiversity and I will be posting every Thursday (or So) with reviews and character spotlights. So check it out.

 

Big News: I’ve been picked up by Multiversitycomics.com

This is big news as once I pass the Trial run (which I should no problem) I will gain the ability to do much more such as having the possibility to talk with big comic book names and have press access. Also you will see a return of classic articles such as In Defense Of and a couple exclusive series, but until I pass the trial run I will be doing reviews and recommendations. So please check out mulitversitycomics.com

and check out the site Thursday when my first article will be up!

From the Vault: Watchmen Review

This is a video that comes from deep within the CBO Vaults, back when it was just me, a shoddy Webcam, and when it was still called Comic Book Overkill. Just a fair warning the sound is atrocious, the video quality leaves much to be desired, and I still haven’t found my “voice” (you can say I still haven’t), but this is my Watchmen Review/ First Impression. I might one day sit down and shoot a true review of the Director’s cut, but till then here is my Watchmen Review/First Impression.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Thanks for reading and watching. I will be back soon to talk about Mighty Morphing Power Rangers Re-mastered (what? It is probably one of the most influential pieces of television for me. The new stuff in the re-mastering is worth talking about too.)

Quote of the Day:

“God knows, people who are paid to have attitudes toward things, professional critics, make me sick; camp-following eunuchs of literature. They won’t even whore. They’re all virtuous and sterile. And how well meaning and high minded. But they’re all camp-followers.”
-Ernest Hemingway
