ComicPageOfTheWeekend: Red Robin and Superboy

Nothing specially funny this time, but it was nice to see Tim (previously Robin) meet again with the returned Superboy.

ComicPanelsOfTheWeek: White Martians party hard

Is it me or is the one of the bottom left almost screaming "DUUUUDE!!"

CBR Ghost OMNIBUS: Vol. 1


Something new! Something different!

Like always, my goal with these Comic Reviews is to shine some light on some underrated books or show my opinion on the more mainstream titles.
This time, it's a little lesser-known book, called...

My Fighting Games Collection!


Hello folks!
Today, I wanted to post a pic of my fighting game collection, since I've been posting so much about the "fighting genre".
Collection as of today - pic taken July the 1st 2010~

Seth Green is such a DQ fanboy- follow-up!

Remember that Dragon Quest ad?

Well, here's a little making off video that's been floating around teh interwebs.



Funny thing is this Behind-the-Scenes is longer than the actual ad.

Wonder Woman new look~


So, Wonder Woman will change her costume for issue 601, after using mostly the same costume for nearly 70 years....
And I'm thinking... maybe you'd like my view on it? At least a comment on the whole deal from my own point of view. (well you're still reading these very lines, aren't you?).

So here goes: (warning, long-ass paragraph ahead)

NEWS! Uchū Kaizoku Kyaputen Hārokku!!

Remember the Space Pirate, I mean Captain Harlock?!



Known for us, guys living in a francophone country as Capitaine Albator. This character was huuuuuuuuge here during the 80s and even the early 90s (thanks for reruns).
I even bought some mangas of it while they were releasing them during the 90s.

Comics NEWS! Marvel's Baby Toys Squad

Do you know the Marvel's Super Hero Squad?
Nope? It's that toys series they've been releasing since those past few years.
SuperDeformed chibi super heroes in cheap plasting with limited "action" parts.

I won't lie to you... For a long time, I really wanted to find the Ghost Rider/Punisher pack.

Yep. Those.
There's also Super Hero Squads not based on Marvel proprieties (like Transformers)
Well, did you know they already made a videogame out of this? Yeah, a simple cash-in commercial little game.
They're preparing a massive MMORPG based on that now.
(what is the target audience of such game? geeks? otakus? gamers? very young kids with access to an online computer to play a MMORPG with a monthly subscription???)
Anyway, did you know there was an animated cartoon based on these toys?

VGR:Quickies My Street Fighter 2 collection




Something a bit different.
Just to try a different format that may come in handy in future comic reviews.

Introducing QUICKIES! - meaning quick review, when I won't take a huge look in depth at comic/movies/games/etc...
(useful for, say, tv show episodes, long running comic series, etc..)

This is a complementary review to my previous Street Fighter 2 VGR.

MR Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones


EPISODE 2.

You were all expecting it... Here it is, my next Star Wars reviews!
Screw the haters! People can love a CGi/space/furfest like Avatar, surely there are things to like about Star Wars Episode 2... are there?

Jeph Loeb

So, Jeph Loeb will now be Marvel's Executive Vice President & Head of Television.
That's a pretty similar role that Geoff Johns has currently at DC Comics, meaning supervising and controlling directly any future comic book to TV adaptation. (while Johns also supervises movies, which Avi Arad do at Marvel)

In case you don't know who is Jeph Loeb, he is a well known popular comic book writer. One of my favorite writers. And one of my least favorite ones as well.

How's that?!? How can it be?!

Lemme introduce you properly to Loeb's work...
(this is an overview of course, the guy did a ton more!)

Seth Green is such a Dragon Quest fanboy

Did you see the latest Dragon Quest IX advertisment?



Now I'm not a fan of this series nor have I ever played a Dragon Quest game (I'm not really into RPGs...), but this is a pretty fun and random ad!

Is it me only, or is Seth Green tagging alongside high school girls a bit creepy?

Enjoy~

ComicPanelsOfTheWeek: Blue Beetle and Booster Gold

Pachi-Slot Kamen Rider V3!!!

When you buy stuff from eBay, some "problems" happen sometimes.
Not just talkin' about the eventual thieves/lost merchandises/items that get stuck at customs here!

Sometimes you get something different. Like, by accident. Maybe the eBay seller has tons of different clients & items to manage...maybe a little mix up...
Anyway sometimes you get something you weren't expecting! It may happen to you someday or maybe it has already happen!

Some very odd cases, like me and my bro, we also had more stuff added to our package.
Yep.
We got our object/game/book/item. AND something else as well.

That way, I already had an OST for a game, some Dragon Ball figurine, some Dragon Ball Z cards.

And now this:
Jissen Pachi-Slot Hisshouhou! Single: Kamen Rider V3, try sayin' it 3 times as fast as you can. Ah! You fool! XD

Jissen Pachi-Slot SINGLE: Kamen Rider V3 for the Playstation 1.

What a random surprise it was to find it in the package this morning!
Ha!
It's exactly what you think it is. A slot machine/pachinko game and less fun than what you're imagining it right now.

Random!

(I like surprises! Keep them coming ya eBayers! the good ones I mean, I don't like having to resend stuff... -_-)

Blog blog...

Hey guys!
What have you been up to?

Watching/playing/reading any good stuff lately?

Me?
Oh, you know, the usual... drawing this, working on that, playing a bit of this and reading some of that~

I'm glad Futurama's back!
Can't wait for the new episode!

I'm currently in a playhthrough Resident Evil 4 on the wii, and boy, do I have a lot to tell about that one :/
But you'll have to wait for another RE review first, before that one!

And playing alternatively with Tempo (32x) and Splinter Cell Double Agent (xbox 360) as well. Mostly Splinter Cell it seems :P
But it's a bit repetitive and not as good as previous Splinter Cell games (no, I haven't tried Conviction, the latest one... too expensive for the moment...)

Anyway, that was a bit of blah blah on my blog...
Till next time~

DVD News! The next DC Animated feature is...

Are you expecting the DVD/Bluray release of Batman: Under the Red hood?
(quickly last seen in this post)

I know I am!
Since I'm lovin' all these DVD DC & Warner Bros have been releasin' lately, here's the latest news about the new one and the next one after that!
