Neil deGrasse Tyson Thinks Little Of Aquaman

Posted: December 11, 2012 in Aquaman, Comic Book News, NPR
1

December 3rd marked a very a significant day in the life of Superman, and a very degrading day for another.  NPR has done a lot of work at getting the word out about comics and comic book creators, especially when Neil Gaiman took a guest spot in their morning edition news program.  But December 3rd was the day NPR took the time to focus in on a specific comic book issue – Actions Comics #14 – where Superman is given a glimpse of his deceased home world as the light from the explosion has only now hit the eyes of Earthlings everywhere.

To hear the full broadcast, Head on over to NPR’s Morning Edition.

Superman Watches his Home Planet Go Boom

Superman Watches his Home Planet Go Boom

The exact science of how this works within the story is something you’ll have to discover for yourself by picking up issue #14.  It’s a good one by the way, one I should have reviewed.  NPR takes time to focus in on one of the issue’s key characters, Neil deGrasse Tyson, a scientist in real life, permits DC Comics to not only use his Planetarium’s namesake in the comic, but his likeness as well.  Tyson assists DC with making the science of seeing the explosive light of a 27 years dead planet plausible, grounding it in scientific fact.

The interview is actually quite interesting and proves, once again, that comics pay closer attention to the reality of science than we give the industry credit for.  However, despite how intriguing the dialog between Tyson and NPR’s David Greene was, the scientist makes a comment that simply proves the truth within a common stereotype of one of DC’s strongest superheroes….Aquaman.

Tyson states that he was happy to ”assist Superman in his time of need.” This was, of course, an emotional time for Supes since he’s actually getting to see his homeworld destroyed by the unknown force of nature that killed it.  However, Superman is special and Tyson would only do it for the head honchos.  His next statement after his proclamation of wanting to help Superman was…

“I would not have done it for Aquaman.”

Geoff Johns hit the nail on the head, people simply don’t respect Aquaman.  Who would have known that even respected scientists would treat such a iconic superhero with this level of shame.  Tyson, I think what you did for Action #14 was awesome and fun, but let’s not treat the King of Atlantis with such disrespect.

Superman and Wonder Woman Sittin’ in a Tree…

Posted: August 29, 2012 in Comic Book News, DC Comics, Superman, Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman Wednesday

It’s finally happened!  The moment hundreds have wondered about!  Superman and Wonder Woman are getting together!  Lois and Clark will always be a historical comic book couple, but this is a coupling that so many have wondered about.  Would it work?  Is it a smart move?  Just take a look and make a preconceived decision…

From Justice League #12

However, what Erika and Vanessa believe over at Girls-Gone-Geek.com is true,  this is a very predictable relationship.  How many surprises can DC throw at us with something THIS predictable?  Superman being with an Earthling mortal brought the Man of Steel to a much more human level.  Let’s face it, Superman is literally the most powerful being on Earth.  For him to marry a powerless female with the heart of a lion gives him that human characteristic that helped to define him.

But there is some potential with this, wouldn’t you agree?  Wonder Woman has always been the perfect buffer between the Bat and Supes.  She’s a perfect model for Superman to develop those necessary characteristics that defined Superman before the reboot.  In fact, Wondy and Lois Lane share very similar characteristics.  The only difference is one has super powers, and the other doesn’t.  This could, potentially, work out very well.

DC has always hinted at their love/hate relationship, but it was made clear they were more friends than lovers…they just liked to flirt a lot.  Or is it possible they were secretly sleeping together behind Lois’ back?  Who knows? It’ll remain a mystery.  Regardless, I’m looking forward to picking up Justice League #12 and seeing where this new relationship goes.

Tim Drake Was never Robin…

So we already knew that continuity was going to be altered with the New 52, right?  In turn, that means much of what we KNEW about the heroes of the DC Universe was going to change…possibly drastically.  Just take a look at what they did with Alan Scott.

That being said, I’m not against the reboot.  I was, in the beginning when the announcement was made, but the books DC is pushing out are quite good.  Overall, I’ve been pleasantly surprised and impressed.  However, my understanding of the reboot was to help bring back DC’s continuity to a more tangible level.  This is always good if you want to bring in new readers.

Scott Lobdell was quoted saying this at Comic-Con just a few days ago…

“Tim goes straight from being Tim Drake to being Red Robin in that there was no official period of time where he was Robin. We keep most of the origin in tact in that he was one of the few people who could get very close to learning who Bruce is…but it will be a much updated version of his origin.”

So…if Tim was never Batman’s sidekick, then why does Batman #1 show Tim Drake as being apart of the Robin legacy?

Clearly, there’s something that was overlooked in the editing process

I honestly don’t care that DC decided to erase Tim Drake from the line of Robins in the DC Continuity.  However, I do ask that they stay consistent with what they have now established.  This above image shows that DC is already in the process of screwing with their continuity and everything they hoped to achieve is already on a downward slope.

DC, please pay more attention to things in the future, ok?

Catwoman #8 Review

Posted: April 21, 2012 in Adriana Melo, Catwoman, Comic Book News, DC Comics, Guillem March, Judd Winick

Pencilled by: Adriana Melo
Inked by: Mariah Benes

Lettered by: DC Lettering
Colored by: Guillem March, Tomeu Morey

Sing it with me, “LOVE IS IN THE AIR!”  

Or maybe it’s lust, I can’t really tell at this point.  Catwoman gets so hung up on the thrill of the moment that it’s hard to know when she’s compensating for her REAL emotions and when she’s being truly genuine.

Bats is definitely on hiatus from pursuing anything with Catwoman, but new partner in crime, (literally) Spark, (again, literally) so far, seems to have an interest in Catwoman that stems beyond thievery and hijinxs.  Whether that’s a good or bad omen has yet to be seen. He seems to be a nice enough guy though, saving people before they’re blown to bits.  Hero, villain, or just plain thief with a kind heart.  (Oh man, I think I have a crush!)

There simply isn’t a lot to go on right now to make an honest judgement of Spark.  Welcome to the mind of Selena Kyle, blindly trusting anyone who makes her purr with ecstasy.  But I guess that’s the theme of this issue, the unknown.  In addition to the mystery of Spark, we’ve also been introduced to a new hooded villain who prowls the night streets, looking for prostitutes, and killing them…or at least that’s what we’re to assume.  And the Court of Owls is invading this titles as well, targeting Oswald Cobblepot!  So much is unknown.

Artistically I’m still missing Guillem March, but I still love Adriana Melo.  There’s a certain amount of playfulness she puts into our lovely feline kleptomaniac, giving her a equal balance of flirt, sex appeal, and girlish attitude, juxtaposed with her athleticism, womanly charm, and fervor…

aaawwwww, She's so cute!

The only real complaint I have about the art is how loose it feels, but that’s simply my personal taste and doesn’t speak towards the actual quality of Melo’s art.  I’m thankful March is still doing the covers, however; his work is gorgeous and exciting.  (If I ever see him at a convention, I’m totally going to ask him to do a commission for me!)

Winick is certainly serving Catwoman well by making this more than just about the sex appeal.  With a new heist partner (because he’s definitely not a mere sidekick) and a brainy counterpart, there’s a real purpose and focus that’s driving this title forward, attempting to give Catwoman an interesting and vibrant supporting cast.  The Court of Owls inclusion doesn’t seem to weigh the story down either.

However, with all that being said, this issue doesn’t go above and beyond;  never providing any jaw dropping moments or deep, meaningful bits of oratory worthy of an Oscar nomination.  (Because comic books can be nominated for an Oscar?  Nice thinking Jimmy :S)  This is nothing more than a fun installment of Catwoman filled with stealing, sex appeal, action, and fun.  You’ll enjoy this issue if that’s your thing!

More to come in 30! (Well, I guess it’s less than 30 days by this time, but you get my meaning right?)

Batman: The Dark Knight #1 Review

So Many Bat Books And A Feeling Of Déjà Vu…
Sometimes I fear that comic books rely on their more popular heroes a bit too much.  Batman is awesome, no question about it, and is one of the most interesting and emotionally captivating heroes in comic’s history.  However, there is a point where it becomes overwhelming and almost ridiculous as too how many Batman titles are being published and how often Batman makes an appearance in the other titles.  So how do I know that my mediocre feeling towards The Dark Knight #1 isn’t based on the unnecessary frequency of Bat’s presence in the DC Universe?  While I still enjoyed this first issue very much, there’s a sense lingering around in my head that I’ve read this before.

But maybe that’s the point.  Unlike the other Batman titles, maybe Paul Jenkins and David Finch are trying to keep this title different from all the rest by making it feel so repetitive.  After all, how much can one hero do when he’s busy with a different mystery every week out of each month?  Bruce Wayne gives a moving speech about change, the villains of Gotham run amuck, and Bruce keeps meeting women that he’ll most definitely break the heart of later on…or vice versa.  In addition, there seems to be this need amongst DC’s writers and the higher-ups to let the fans know the same exact thing about the Bat family each week.  In this month alone we’ve seen at least one of these aspects appear in each Bat title.  For me, it gets a little cumbersome.

David Finch is a remarkable artist!  If I had even a quarter of his artistic talents I

Is this dress fashionable, or simply showing off her better assets? Click to enlarge.

would be set for life.  But much like Ed Benes, there isn’t much variation in his character’s physical appearances.  Everyone has beautifully sculpted bodies, all are about the same height, and all of the women seem to have long seductive legs.  I’m not even sure what purpose Jaina Hudson’s dress serves other than to show how awesome Finch is at drawing lots and lots of skin.  But I shouldn’t knock everything as his art appeals to my OWN dark and gothic style.  The cover alone shows how depressingly dark this comic is going to be, and that’s enough to sell me on it… for the first three issues at least.  We’ll see where this title goes in the next few months

I’m more concerned about the status of Batman and Catwoman’s relationship.  Is Selina going to rip Jaina’s head off after she finds out the long legged vixen is moving in on her “friend with benefits?”  I honestly don’t know where the DC timeline has this specific title set at in comparison to Catwoman’s, but I’ll bet it’s safe to assume that both are fairly close to each other.

The most interesting aspect to this title is its Alice in Wonderland motif at the end.  I thought the random appearance of a gorgeous blond in a white rabbit outfit was out of place, (which it is) but then I began to think about a few of the smaller aspects to this issue and began to see the amazing potential of future issues down the road. I’m still a little iffy about this title as of right now, but if Paul Jenkins and David Finch pull through and deliver something truly refreshing, I might just stick with it.

Voodoo #1 Review

Voodoo, Created By Jim Lee & Brandon Choi

I LOVE Space Age Weirdness…
So I never really followed anything published by Wildstorm.  Every once in a while they produced good stories, but overall I wasn’t impressed.  Voodoo was one of those titles by Wildstorm that I always knew of and heard many good things about, but I was simply never interested.  Now, having picked up and read issue #1 of Voodoo’s transference into the DC Universe, I’m beginning to think I may have missed out on something really cool.

From what I’ve gathered, Voodoo (real name being Priscilla Kitaen) resembles very little of her Wildstorm character interpretation, apart from her looks and exotic dancing personality.  But hidden beneath that dark, sexy skin is a scaly, green, lizard-like alien whose purpose on Earth is unknown.  Enter Tyler and Jess, two secret agents charged with keeping an eye on miss Kitaen and, much to the enjoyment of Tyler, her night life.  When Jess leaves to go back to the hotel, Tyler takes full advantage of the private dance rooms and requests a little one-on-one time with Voodoo herself.

During the private dance, Tyler explains to Voodoo that he knows she’s an alien here to observe earthlings.  To what end, he doesn’t know, but his employers are determined to find out, which means Tyler is unrelenting with his inquisition. Voodoo turns all green and menacing, slicing Tyler up, leaving blood splattered all over the room.  As Voodoo walks out of the club, clothed and washed, we find Tyler walking close behind her, whole and unscathed.  And interesting turn of events I must say.

It’s All About The Sex And Violence…What’s Wrong With That?…
From what I’ve already heard and read on the internet, there seems to be a growing consensus that DC’s reboot is taking a step in the wrong direction with its “overly sexual” depiction of women.  It’s true that DC’s line of titles like Catwoman, Red Hood and the Outlaws, and now Voodoo have taken advantage of the immense artistic talent at their disposal created exotic versions of some of our favorite female heroes and villains.  While I disagree with the assessment made by fellow bloggers and reviewers concerning this assumed “negative” aspect in DC’s reboot, I can see why their concerns are merited for younger readers.  Maybe it’s time these critiques realize that the reboot isn’t SOLELY meant to bring in newer, younger readers, but also to more mature readers that can appreciate the artistry and intelligence it takes to created exotic literature.

Glamorous, wouldn't you agree?

Sami Basri and Jessica Kholinne offer the same quality artwork in Voodoo they brought with their time on Power Girl.  It’s attractive and eerie, and Kholinne’s colors shine with fantastic control and mastery of stage lighting and giving us the feel of what a strip club is actually like.  (Yes, I speak from experience, sue me!)  And Sami Basri does an excellent job at giving us just the right amount of sex appeal without becoming crude and/or overly revealing.

I Wish I Had More…
One negative side to the story is how little we learn of Priscilla.  It’s most likely the point, but when I finished reading #1 I was a little unsure about her character and where the story was going from here.  I would have liked a little more explanation into who she is and why I should care about this title.  Not to say this wasn’t a fun read, but there was definitely something lacking in the script.

Voodoo herself felt very much at odds with some dark past.  I almost get the feeling that her alien self is somewhat separate from her more “human” personality.  She seemed worried anytime she was asked to be a part of someone’s life; whether it be for babysitting, hanging out with friends, etc etc.  She always had a sorrowful look on her face, allowing us to feel sympathy for her character.  This makes me wonder about her intentions in being here on Earth; is she really here to observe humans to plan an invasion, or is there something else going on here?

Just like with I, Vampire, DC seems to have a theme going with its “darker” comics; pitting the gothic creatures of American folklore against the superheroes of the world.  There’s a deep undertone within DC’s reboot plans that seems to have superheroes as an unknown victim against Earth’s creatures of the night and supernatural evils.  Makes me wonder if, down the road, DC will break its promise of keeping things more accessible and hold an event where the metas war against vampires and werewolves.

In Conclusion…
Voodoo is another refreshingly new and exciting addition to the DC lines of titles.  I look forward to seeing where this mystery goes.

Comic Book Regulations Of the Late 1940′s

Posted: September 13, 2011 in Comic Book News
0

Here’s just a snippet of the kinds of rules comic books had to adhere to in order to be published.  It wasn’t until the mid 50′s when the Comic Code Authority was put into place, regulating the content within comic books.

Many of the rules within the CCA were aimed at maintaining a “wholesome” outlet for the youth, attempting to sway their political, religious, and sexual opinions to a certain conservative standard

Charles F. Murphy, a magistrate in New York model the CCA after the Hollywood Production Code which was established sometime in the early 1930′s.  The code was created mainly out of response to the gore, violence and seemingly sexual nature that the drawn women portrayed on a “regular” basis.  The Code’s goal was to exterminate these violent images, and the sexual nature of comics, ultimately referring to it as “good girl art.”

Comic Creator William Gaines took it upon himself to openly criticize the Code and how badly it minimized the creativity of writers and artists.  Vampires, werewolves, zombies, and many more were banned from comics in general, making the horror comics a primary focus of the CCA. Stan Lee, Marcel Comics superstar, also later criticized the Code on the same points.

Slowly, as comic book companies withdrew from the CCA, creating their own rating system, it became defunct as no longer holds any validity with advertiser and other magazine publishers.  The last Comic Book publishers to withdraw from the CCA was DC Comics and Archie Comics.

Personally, I’m glad the Comics Code Authority is now invalid; the creativity of writers and artists were greatly diminished and was the main reason why comics have such a bad reputation among the non comic book reader.  Thank God people like Stan Lee, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Will Eisner came along to give the art form some legitimacy within the world of artistic literature.

Below is a list of many of the rules comics had to adhere to when the CCA was still in control…

  • Crimes shall never be presented in such a way as to create sympathy for the criminal, to promote distrust of the forces of law and justice, or to inspire others with a desire to imitate criminals.
  • If crime is depicted it shall be as a sordid and unpleasant activity.
  • Criminals shall not be presented so as to be rendered glamorous or to occupy a position which creates a desire for emulation.
  • In every instance good shall triumph over evil and the criminal punished for his misdeeds.
  • Scenes of excessive violence shall be prohibited. Scenes of brutal torture, excessive and unnecessary knife and gunplay, physical agony, gory and gruesome crime shall be eliminated.
  • No comic magazine shall use the word horror or terror in its title.
  • All scenes of horror, excessive bloodshed, gory or gruesome crimes, depravity, lust, sadism, masochism shall not be permitted.
  • All lurid, unsavory, gruesome illustrations shall be eliminated.
  • Inclusion of stories dealing with evil shall be used or shall be published only where the intent is to illustrate a moral issue and in no case shall evil be presented alluringly, nor so as to injure the sensibilities of the reader.
  • Scenes dealing with, or instruments associated with walking dead, torture, vampires and vampirism, ghouls, cannibalism, and werewolfism are prohibited.
  • Profanity, obscenity, smut, vulgarity, or words or symbols which have acquired undesirable meanings are forbidden.
  • Nudity in any form is prohibited, as is indecent or undue exposure.
  • Suggestive and salacious illustration or suggestive posture is unacceptable.
  • Females shall be drawn realistically without exaggeration of any physical qualities.
  • Illicit sex relations are neither to be hinted at nor portrayed. Rape scenes as well as sexual abnormalities are unacceptable.
  • Seduction and rape shall never be shown or suggested.
  • Sex perversion or any inference to same is strictly forbidden.
  • Nudity with meretricious purpose and salacious postures shall not be permitted in the advertising of any product; clothed figures shall never be presented in such a way as to be offensive or contrary to good taste or morals.

Superman Created By Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster

The 900th Plot

The Black Ring storyline comes to a climactic conclusion in this 96 paged Action Comics installment, as well as providing us with a few smaller, less significant Superman tales with the exception of one.  #900 comes to us in a package of three, giving us a heated rhetorical duel between Supes and Lex, another battle where Doomsday vs. everyone else, and a barrage of short stories with multiple guest writers and artists.  What’s established amongst all these stories is a satisfying ending to one, and an annoyingly predictable beginning to another.

My Awe-Inspiring Opinion

Action Comics #900 is like a can of mixed nuts; you look for your favorites and deal with what’s left over at a later time.  Thankfully, the story I was most excited about comes right at the beginning…the conclusion of The Black Ring story arc!

I haven’t been following the whole Reign of Doomsday “thingy” simply because Doomsday is way overplayed and I just don’t care; it’s inclusion within this 900th issue was fairly annoying to me, and I’m probably not alone in the sentiment am I?  Its connection to the Black Ring arc, toggling back and forth, felt forced and unnecessary.  I hope DC will one day let Doomsday remain in history as the one who killed Superman and boot Cyborg Superman “Owt da doh!” Move on to bigger and better things DC, please.

Paul Cornell, however, was really on top of things with the confrontation between Superman and Lex Luthor.  Finally, Lex was able to achieve his God-like state and bring his unfathomable wrath on Superman once and for all and put an end to his long hated rival.  But of course, like all good Superman stories, the concept of good is ballooned into an awesomely cheesy yet powerful bit of prose, allowing Lex to see his potential of doing good rather than emitting chaos throughout the cosmos.

But now Lex knows of Superman’s secret identity!  How will this turn the tides in the future of Superman storylines?  Cornell brilliantly implemented a human side to Lex with his anger and jealousy of Superman in having parents like Ma and Pa Kent.  This issue gives us an even deeper analytical look into the psyche of Lex Luthor and how everything that he is today all falls back on his upbringing and poor relationship he had with his father.  If it hadn’t been for the Reign of Doomsday jargon connected to the Black Ring arc, I would say this was the best issue of Superman this year!

On another note, it’s been hitting the news on both the World Wide Web and public news broadcasting media…Superman is renouncing his American citizenship!  This bit of news even hit the radio waves on NPR.  Is it really that big of a deal?

The answer: Yes!  Why? Because Superman is looked upon as a major American icon. For him to take the Americanized aspect of himself out of the picture could greatly change his image and character among readers and fans.

Click To Enlarge

But let’s not take this lightly and think Superman is hating on America.  As he stated, he feels he cannot limit himself to one type of thinking.  His walk across America seems to have done more good for his thinking and broadened his mind quite a bit.  He views himself not JUST as a hero for America, but a hero for the entire world.  The “American way” is not something he wants to limit himself too, but rather to become a hero for everyone and not only be viewed as an American entity.  But again, how will this change in mentality alter future of Superman storylines and will it be for the better?  I for one am excited at the possibilities!

Another notable story feels more like a two paged set up for a Clark Kent and Legion of Superheroes pin-up…for those who DARE to tear up good literature for the sake of decoration.  (phooey on you all!!!) It’s a cute addition and I loved it.  And just a side note, Lois Lane has amazing legs!  Thank you Gary Frank for making the sexiest Lois Lane in the history of comics!

Speaking of art, I’m not one for artistic toggling, but this issue did alright.  They appropriately placed certain artistic styles depending on what past situations Paul Cornell and his team of assistant writers were calling out to.  I was glad to see Gary Frank take over during the memory of Pa Kent’s death and Jesus Merino take over on some of the other flashback scenes.  Pete woods, however, brings some amazing artistry to the main story sequence and gives Lex Luthor that terrifying edge needed.

My Majestically Climactic Conclusion

I had more good things to say about #900 than bad, so overall, this issue was a complete success in my opinion.  Sure, Doomsday tainted this issues potential, but I can overlook that due to the sheer awesomeness that the rest of the issue delivered.  But now that we are at issue #900, can Action comics survive 100 more issues and get to #1000???  I’ll definitely hope to be alive to witness such an occasion!
