Nemesis #1

I picked up a copy of this earlier this week, and I gotta say it was excellent start. The art was completely gorgeous. I think this might be Steve McNiven's best work yet, or at least as good as Old Man Logan. As for the story itself, Millar set up a mighty interesting adventure. While reading it, I got the feel of a mix between a Dirty Harry film and political thriller like Patriot Games, which is definitely an intriguing combination.

As for the main players, Blake Morrow was essentially what Harry Callahan would be like if he made Police Chief to me, making him an excellent hero for me to root for. And Nemesis still remains somewhat of an enigma. The story has only just begun, so there is very little that we know about this Villain, but I'm sure more will be revealed and explained as the story continues. I'll definitely be sticking with this book to see where it goes.

There is one other thing I would like to bring up. It seemed to me that Millar is writing this in a cinematic style, much like Old Man Logan. Now, I don't find anything wrong with that, but I do think that that makes it one of those stories that are better read as a whole rather than broken up by a month to month release. I say this because I read OML both as it came out and as a whole when it was released in Hardcover, and I found the experience of reading it as a whole to be much more satisfying.

Chris Evans is Captain America!

It was just announced today that Chris Evans, Johnny Storm of the FF films, has accepted the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America, and I, for one am excited. I don't know what others think, but I've got a feeling he's going to do great as the Star-spangled Avenger. In past movies, he's proven that he can act as well as be physical, so I have little doubt that he's right for the part.

First Post cont.

Now, on to the reason I made this blog. My main influence in doing this is that I've never done anything like this before. You see, when it comes to doing pretty much anything online, I'm not all that big on it. I mean, when I want to talk to someone, I'd rather talk to them face to face, or at the very least on the telephone. So, I've only ever really used the internet to get news on comics, Movies, Music, etc... or to buy stuff. Well, I decided it would be fun to try something new for a change, so I thought doing a blog would be interesting.
With that set in my mind, I then had to come to come up with a purpose for said blog. Since I love all these varied facets of Entertainment, it was easy enough to decide to write about them. More specifically my OPINION of them. Now, there's a very good reason I capitalized the word, opinion, and that is because my intention is not for this to be a review blog. I'm not a Critic, and I most certainly will not presume to tell anyone what they should or should not like. Everyone is different and has different tastes. I love Wolverine and someone else might hate him, but that does not mean that either of us or right or wrong, it's just an opinion. And since this is a blog about Opinions, I wouldnt mind to here other peoples either. Otherwise, wheres the fun. :)

First Post

For my first post. I 'd just like to tell you a little bit about myself. First, and foremost, I'm a Fanboy. I'm a major fan of Wolverine, The Green Hornet, Batman, Deadshot, Green Arrow and Black Canary, Catwoman, Cable, X-Force, Secret Six, X-23, and the somewhat obscure character, Wild Thing, Daughter of Wolverine. If you were to ask me what my all-time favorite books are at this moment, I answer, "Wolverine: Old Man Logan, Wolverine: Snikt!, Wolverine: The End, Wolverine: Not Dead Yet, Wolverine: Logan, the Classic Claremont/Miller Wolverine Mini, The Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, The Now Green Hornet Comic series (the Entire collection), Wanted, and the Deadshot V.2 Mini.
When it comes to movies, there are so many that I love; way too many to list. But, here are some that are among my favorites: the X-men and Wolverine movies, the Evil Dead Movies, The Dollars Trilogy, the Die Hard Movies, Pretty much all the other Clint eastwood Westerns (or Eastwood movies in general), Princess Bride, Escape from New York and LA, John Carpenter's The Thing, The Sabata Trilogy, The Ghostbusters films, the Mad Max movies, Serenity, and Makai Tensho: Samurai Reincarnation.
As for Tv series, I love NCIS, Castle, Firefly, Leverage, True Blood, Burn Notice, Trigun, Ninja Scroll the series, and the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. And when it comes to music, I've just all over the charts. There really isn't a single genre of music that I don't like.
