He then flies to meet this Earth’s Wonder Woman: Nubia. They find a craft that is breaking through the red skies and they comment that it contains heroes inside of it. The craft opens to reveal the Supermen of the Multiverse. Captain Marvel tells them that he is here to recruit the Supermen of the Multiverse on a misson of life or death. We then move to the JLA Watchtower where we see Power Girl, Starman and Frankenstein with dialogue that says that this is all that remains that is not Darkseid. It also talks of how the Metal Men from Earth 44 came through a dimension shard and went crazy from the magnetic field.   We find out that the narrator for all of this is Lois Lane.

Calliope’s Quick Fire Reviews Marvel Edition

January 27, 2009 in Avengers, Comic Books, Dark Reign, Marvel, Reviews, Spider-Man, X-Men

Amazing Spider-Man #584

amsp584  Cheesy dialogue between supervillains about the importance of voting, a dated 90′s Alannis Morrisette joke, and a lackluster reveal about Menace’s ID (Harry Osborne) and the ID of the Spider Tracer Killer. The book needs a serious revamp and a steady creative team. 1 out of 5 Spider-Villains. Leave it on the Rack.

Calliope’s Quick Fire Reviews Marvel Obama Edition

January 21, 2009 in Comic Books, Dark Reign, News, Reviews, Spider-Man, Spoiler

Amazing Spider-Man #583

amsp583 The main story in the issue features Peter Parker going out on a series of blind dates. Even though Mark Waid is usually a great writer this story is very boring. The only reason this book sold any copies at all is due to the back up 5 page story featuring an assassination attempt by the Chameleon on President Obama. The resolution requires that the Chameleon has never seen basketball in his life and is pretty lame. The book earns 2 out of 5 Spider-Villains, but you should still  Put It on the Stack. Since you can save it as a memento or flip it on ebay.

Coraline In 3-D Movie Review With Spoilers

January 17, 2009 in Movies, News, Nightmare Before Christmas, Reviews

coraline2      Directed by Henry Sellick 

Dakota Fanning     …    Coraline (voice)

Ian McShane     …    Mr. Bobinski (voice)

Teri Hatcher     …    Coraline’s Mother / Other Mother (voice)

Keith David     …    The Cat (voice)

Jennifer Saunders     …    Miss Forcible (voice)
    Dawn French     …    Miss Spink (voice)
    John Hodgman     …    Coraline’s Father / Other Father (voice)

 

We were lucky enough to see an advance screening of the film which opens in wide release February 6th. Henry Sellick has directed both the Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach so he knows his way around stop animation filming.  Usually 3-D movies have only a few 3-D effects and most are lackluster or just some random thing popping out at you. This movie is designed to be seen in 3-D as the entire film and not just some stunt work. As such it is a much better 3-D experience and is without a doubt the best 3-D film I have ever seen. (This even includes Nightmare Before Christmas).

Calliope’s Quick Fire Reviews Marvel Edition

January 13, 2009 in Comic Books, Dark Reign, Iron Man, Marvel, Reviews, Spider-Man, X-Men

Here we go with a secondary rating system in effect :

 

Amazing Spider-Man #582

amsp582  Second part of a lackluster Molten Man return. Not much going on in this book due to revolving creative teams. Only stunt covers appear to be the saving this book from horrible sales numbers.  (I’m looking at you Colbert and Obama variants). 2 out of 5 Spider-Villains.  Leave it on the Rack.
