Back to school teams!

Hey, everyone! So yesterday was my first day of school and I thought, "Hey, what if I put different super-teams in my next blog and they all have to be in school!" Here's my top-five (in no specific order) list of super-kids!

1.Power Pack:

Seriously, how can you go wrong with this group? We've got two teenagers (Alex and Julie), a middle-schooler (Jack), and a little girl (Katie)! All with friggin' awesome powers and they act just like regular siblings!

2. X-Men:

X-Men technically count in this list because most of the team is in high-school. I almost had to put this team in here because, well, IT'S THE FREAKING X-MEN! Seriously, name one person you know that hates X-Men. Well, there may be a few...but that's not the point! The point is that they send out an important message:  Don't mess with someone just because they're different than you, because you never know if they are a mutant with awesome powers. I would name all of them, but there's to darn many!

3. Young Justice:

If you haven't read my review on this team, click here. Team of famous DC teens in one comic? Heck, yeah! Let's see. We have Arrowette (look familiar?), Empress, Slobo, Superboy, Robin (Tim Drake), Wonder Girl (Cassie), Impulse, and Secret. What do they have in common? Almost all of them were side-kicks to great super-heroes. Well, except for Secret...and maybe Slobo. I don't know, would you call Lobo a villian or just plain violent? Anyways, they're all awesome!

4. Teen Titans:

C'mon. It's the Teen Titans. They are a classic! You have Starfire, Raven, Wonder Girl (Donna), Cyborg, Beast Boy (Or is his name, "Changling" in this picture?), Robin (Dick Grayson), and Kid Flash. All of them are classic to teenage teams! Yeah, I know. I've talked about this before and the characters looked totally different, but that was the cartoon/cartoon based comic. This is the original Teen Titans that the show was based off of.

5.Young Avengers:

Okay, so you know who the Avengers are, right. Well imagine all of them, but as teenagers. If you did that, then you have the Young Avengers! Here we have Wiccan, Hulkling, Stature, Hawkeye (not the same one as the original team), Vision (does he count?), and Patriot.

That's all I have for today! Bye!

Silk Spectre

Hey everyone! So today I'm going to be talking about a comic called, "Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre."

So far, there have only been two comics, but I have to say that it's a pretty good comic. It's basically about the teenage years of the original Silk Spectre's daughter, Laurel Juspeczyk (how do you pronounce that last name?)...Anyways, Laurel is a teen and the Watchmen haven't been together, yet, so she is out in the world and fighting crime by herself. Here's the first cover for all of you:

I tend to be attracted by artwork, so when I saw this cover I thought, "Ooh, pretty and it's Watchmen!" so I picked it up and ended up loving it. I don't know why it got bad reviews, though. It's a really good comic and I suggest it to all Watchmen fans...or non-fans.

Well, I have to go now. Bye!

Hit-Girl's New Comic and I NEED HELP!!!

Hey, everyone! So as you can see, today I'm going to be talking about the new comic series called, "Hit-Girl." For those of you who don't know, Hit-Girl is the little purple-haired assassin girl in the movie/comic series called, "Kick-Ass." Basically what this comic is about is Hit-Girl's life without Big Daddy and now she is attending the same school as Kick-Ass, but she needs help fitting in.

I have to say that she is my favorite kid heroine ever. She just an awesome character! She lost her mother when she was born and was raised by her father who turned her into an assassin and she can kill anyone in sight! She's just so friggin awesome! Now I'm trying to get my little sister to cosplay her at the next Lady's Comic Book Night I go to.

Speaking of cosplays...I NEED HELP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A COSPLAY FOR LADY'S NIGHT!!! I'm having a super-emergency on a cosplay idea and it has to be really simple because Lady's Night is this Friday. I think that I have some ideas, but I probably wouldn't get them done in time. I'm really desperate right now, so please vote on which costume I should make. And since the poll gadget keeps failing on me, I'll list the options right here and you can comment on which one I should choose:

1. Supergirl
2. X-23
3. Wonder Girl
Or if you have any other ideas, just tell me.

Well, that's all I have for today. Remember to comment, vote, and follow me! Bye for now!

TDKR Review

Hello, everyone who is reading this blog! So today I will be giving a movie review on "The Dark Knight Rises." I have to say, it was an okay movie. There were some moments that were just kind of "meh" to me, but otherwise, it wasn't that bad of a movie. Basically what it's about is what is going on eight years later from the movie "The Dark Knight." Bruce Wayne hasn't been Batman since his incident with Harvey Dent, also known as "Two-Face", and there is a new villain called "Bane" and Bruce has to defeat him before he destroys the city of Gotham.

I thought that Bane was going to be a huge disappointment, mainly because he was supposed to be a giant South American guy with venom tubes attached to his body, but he wasn't all that bad! They still got him to be a giant guy who was overly strong. Here's a comparison of Bane from the comics and from TDKR:

I've got to say, I'm not a big fan of the weird Semi-Darth-Vader-Mask. It kind of makes sense in the movie, but I just don't like it.

Now for Catwoman. When I first saw the previews, I saw Anne Hathaway as more of as a Selina Kyle than a Catwoman, if that makes any sense. Don't get me wrong! Anne Hathaway is a fantastic actress and I love her movies, but she just didn't look like a Catwoman type of person. Once I saw the movie, however, I thought that she totally got the character! She was sly, sneaky, agile, and just pure Catwoman! Here's a comparison of Catwoman from TDKR and the comics:

Anne Hathaway just made me more of a fan of her's because of this movie.

Well, that's all I have for now! Feel free to comment your review on this movie and follow me. I've got to go. Bye!

Really DC?

Hey, everybody! So I just heard the most outrageous thing on the internet. A couple of days ago on a website called Escher Girls, a woman went to Comic Con to show the editors of DC Comics some of her artwork. One of her drawings was my favorite character, Batwoman. Here's the drawing:

~Her DA Page

Looks good right? Well apparently DC Editors said that Batwoman looks "fat" in this picture.

You can read all about it at Escher Girls. Now for a few notes:

1. Okay, her boobs are perfectly fine and she technically doesn't have any powers. She's a female Batman. You don't see the artists drawing him with a big...never mind.
2. She's wearing a wig. Her hair looks fine and, once again, does not have any super powers.
3. Her neck only looks long because she is wearing a turtleneck/cape.
4. Sport's Illustrated?!? Really?!? Since when is eating only salad and dieting pills the "peak of human perfection?" I bet the women in that magazine are even photoshopped to look the way they are! There is no way in heck women actually look like that. Now I know where they got the ideas for characters like Starfire and Catwoman.

I think that's enough ranting for one day. See you all next week. Don't forget to comment, follow, or send me suggestions. Bye!

Battlepug

Hey, everyone! I'm back and just now realized that I'm way past the date that I was planning on blogging on. Crap! Oh, well. Hopefully you all haven't lost interest in this blog, yet. Anyways, as you can see I'm going to be talking about this comic that I discovered a couple of months ago called Battlepug.

Battlepug is an online comic (which you can now buy on the main website for Darkhorse) about a warrior who lost his family when he was a kid and now he is on a quest with a minivan-sized pug, a crazy hermit, and a foul-mouthed princess. This comic is hilarious and I wouldn't suggest it for children ages nine and under mainly because of a few things:

1. The princess has filthy mouth.

2. The woman telling the story is on her bed, naked. Nothing too revealing, only her butt.

3. Some panels can be very violent.

If you do trust your kids to read this, go ahead. My little sister, who is eight, reads it and she thinks that it's awesome, which I agree with. But this is defiantly a must read. If you haven't already read the comic, click on the link below.

Well, that's all I have for today! See you all next week! Please feel free to comment, follow, etc. Bye!

Off to Vacation!!!

Hi guys! So, unfortunately, I haven't hear anything lately and I haven't been to a comic shop in a while, so I don't have any news for you guys. Sorry. I'm also going to be in the mountains for the next couple of weeks, and there isn't any Wi-Fi up there so my next blog is going to be on July 9th. Once again, sorry for the wait. I'm going to miss you all!
