THE ORIGIN OF DAREDEVIL

DareDevil is one of the comic book characters to have his origin revamped, another one is "Iron Man", but the only focus here is DD: "The Man Without Fear"

In DareDevil v1 #1 DD had his costume done and ready before he fights the one responsible for his fathers death; Sweeny/The Fixer. In that telling of his origin DareDevil was not an angry pissed off vengeful spirit, he sure was angry by the muder of his father but he wasn't in raging vengeance, "Stan Lee" made the character someone to crack jokes.

In v1 issue 164 DareDevil was hospitalized after a tangle with the Hulk from the previous issue, Reporter "Ben Urich" heard "Karyn Paige" call DD Matt in concern and that grabbed his attention, broke his suspeciouns about DareDevil and led him to the tru identity of the Crimson adventurer. Ben decides to gather informations from DareDevil himself, DareDevil told Ben his origin after the revalation.
In this version he had rage squeezing his heart, he was really sour about his loss and looked with vengeful rage at the ones responsible for his loss, DareDevil played Sweeny's strong arm in a boxing match and humiliated him. Sweeny ran for his life but hee died from a heart attack of the fear brought to him by the Devil chasing him.

"Man Without Fear #2/5". "Frank Miller" & "John Romita jr"

Later revamp, Matt went after Sweeny for vengeance before sewing his costume, he did not fight this big gorrilla in front of Sweeny, he attacked him until he lost blood mercilessly and Sweeny witnessed late then escaped.

My favorite version of his origin is the one from "DareDevil" #164

NOW THIS IS RIGHT

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" is a movie that had a false version of Deadpool, this is a fan comic that fixes that mistake

CAPTAIN AMERICA vs DEADPOOL

This is just too good that it is a mistake for me not to share it, enjoy :D

INTERESTING PANEL

"Moon Knight" is a vigilante I read about a few years back and he appeared to be really interesting because he works to redeem his past, and every story he guest starred in is fantastic.

[He is a man of several personalities, he was always such a person even in the old days of him being a mercenary and a treasure hunter. His later different personalities used different names:
*Billionaire "Steven Grant": A smart Wallstreet broker
*Marc Spector: his original name, his mercenary side
*Jake Lockley: A street smart cab driver]

The thing that pulled me the most to this panel is the fact that the writer's name is "Steven Grant"; one of M.K's persona's, the other thing is that he narrates the story in a way of speaking from "Steven Grant" persona of "Moon Knight"

This panel is from page 1 (a.k.a: splash page) from "Moon Knight" v1 #27

Artist "Adi Granov" honors us by giving an interview in New-Gen.
Adi is the artist and designer of the "Iron Man" armor for the movie

I must not leave you without enjoying a few pieces of his work, that is just wrong

HERC MEETS HERC

So this is not a masterpiece, I didn't even break a bit of a smile while working on this one, it is just the occasion that pushes me to it

WHOZZAT FREEK?

First of all I'd like to say that I'm a huge "Two Guys, a Girl, & A Pizza Place" fan, I love that series because it is hilarious, and "Ryan Reynolds" is 'THE' star in it.

I'd also like to point that I'm a huge fan of Wolverine, the worlds most famous X-Man, former agent of SHIELD & now an Avenger, I'm a bigger fan of his favorite foe as well, the nutball from Weapon-X project as well as Wolverine, our favorite Deadpool.

The best piece of news I heard about the movie is that it has Deadpool, and "Ryan Reynolds" star as Deadpool, I saw a few episodes of "Two Guys & a Girl" recently before watching the movie and that made my hopes higher for Deadpool in the movie.

The origin of Wolverine had alterations over the comic book origin (I'll explain them later), but that went fine, we know that superhero/comic movies aren't all too biblical about the source material so it went fine.

What I point at in this entry is about Deadpool, the clown of Weapon-X who has the occasional fights with Wolverine and they're meant to be funny, Deadpool wears a Spider-Man ripoff costume and he uses all sorts of weapons (mouth included, this is why he's known as "The Merc With the Mouth")

"Wade Wilson" started a funny short piece of appearance, then we have over an hour of the movie without him until we see him later as something else.

Boo (Oh wait; I can't talk cause my mouth is sealed, bummer dudes)

Cyclopse has an appearance in the movie wearing his "Ruby-Quartz Glass" to stop his lazer from shooting, but it was created by neither "Professor X" (they are yet to meet in the end of the movie?) nor by "Hank Maccoy"/Beast. Sabertooth abducts Cyclopse for Weapon-X from school.

Deadpool has no mouth? No name? He can teleport without the special belt built for him by Weasel? He can release Adamantium-Swords from his arms like Baraka from "Mortal Kombat"? And they copied Cyclopse mutant ability to give it to pool? Not to mention that he is controlled like "The Nemesis" from "Resident Evil Apokalypse" movie???????

I won't rant like I feel I should do as a faithful Deadpool fan so I'll zip-it. If you want to have a DeadPool translated right from the comics you have "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" video games, and you can find him in the excellent animated feature film byLionsgate "Hulk vs Wolverine". Last option I know of is when ItsJustSomeRandomGuy on youtube makes a short featuring Deadpool

INCREDIBLE HULK/GOOFY CROSSOVER

I mean Goofy turns to Hulk, not them meeting each otherThe image is a mess, tell me about it, but I tried to pull a stunt, no harm done right?This is a different take using "Marvel Hero Creator"

DISNEY? BUYS MARVEL COMICS? WALLOPINWEBSNAPPERS

http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=22747

Yay, now we’re going to have Marvel Cartoons on regular “Disney Channel”. I’m not serious here
I wonder how Disney fans who hate Marvel comics will feel, I know I don’t want a team-up between “Howard The Duck” & “Donald Duck” in the regular 616
Will Sony still own the rights to make Spider-Man toons and otherwise? How will Fox feel? How many dumbed down animated shows will we have? How will this effect “Spectacular Spider-Man Animated” in case there really are going to be more seasons on their ways to the making?

I know that I agree with soundmonkey and anyone in fear of how the quality of comics might be affected

But come to think of it this way: "Disney Studio's" made that movie with "Ryan Reynolds" & "Sandra Bullock" as stars, and it has mature moments, maybe we won't get all dumbed down shows, movies or games

MYSTERY IN HULK BOOK

This is the last panel in Hulk 12 by "Loeb & McGuiness", "Red Hulk" leaves Hulk broken and this is simply how the story ends.

Incredible Hulk 600: This issue came directly after Hulk 12, this is "Robert Bruce Banner" caged in a tube by these guys below.

A.I.M (Advanced Idea Mechanics) and there "Big Cheese" M.O.D.O.K (Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing)

The problem is since "Hulk 13" deals with events after Hulk died; Loeb never explained how Hulk was captured, and why are these involved, or why the heck would general "Thadeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross" & an agent of "S.H.I.E.L.D" (Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Logistic directorate) deal with A.I.M

More questions to be never revealed other than the unrevealed mystery of "The Red Hulk" with his (maybe her, stillanerd has a point comparing this to Mencae (that latest goblin who was revealed to be "Lilly Hollister", "Harry Osbourn's" latest crush)) ability (woman with an alterego that has a male physique)

COVER COPIES A PANEL, OR; LIKE FATHER LIKE SON

On the left is the cover of Hulk 13 as drawn by "John Romita jr", this issue comes after "Incredible Hulk 600" and the absorption of gamma from "Bruce Banners" body by the new & mysterious Red Hulk (in CBR they shorten it the way "Scooby Doo" would say Hulk = Rulk)

On the right is the famous panel from the legendary "Amazing Spider-Man 50" by Jazzy "John Romita sr" that got translated to movie form in Spider-Man 2

ASK "ALEX SAVIUK"

EDIT: An opportunity to ask "Alex Saviuk" (only if you're a member in spider-man crawl space boards) some questions for the next podcast this August is lost, the thread is closed

I already posted mine:
[Hey Alex, you're one of the best artists IMHO, among your best work in my consideration are the following:
1. Amazing Spider-Man 296,297
2. Love Cult (Web of Spider-Man 40-43)
3. The Spider-Hulk story

Inquire:
1. I always wondered how come you didn't shred more of Spider-Man's costume after he first hulked out?
2. Which artist do you enjoy his/her artwork the most?
3. Who's your favorite comic book hero?
4. Who's the best Spider-Man supporting cast in your opinion?]

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE

It is very obvious that I enjoy Spider-Man after the "One More Day" event, the hate for the new direction is too irrational (Making a deal with the Devil is always a bad move this is why I didn't neglect the word 'too'). I find him better now, he's still human (everyone does humongous errors in their lives, no exception, but the hate for the start of "Amazing #601": Peter drunk himself and slept drunk with a drunk "Vin with Boobs" (that's how another guy named "Michelle Gonzalez") is very acceptable). Now I've gone "Far Far Away" (I won't meet Shrek's in laws) from my point.

Look at this panel from ASM Spider-Man Annual #36, 2k8 (I don't know why they numbered it 35, can't tell): Spider-Man tells the alter-ego of the Super-Villain "Blindside" he never met a baddie in his baddie pad before (Excuse me, but meeting never meant first introduction, did you forget "Doc Ock"? Hammerhead? Kingpin? Norman Osbourn? Sergie Kravinof/Kraven the Hunter(in K.L.H)? Silvio Manfreddi/Silvermane? Looter? Hobgoblin? Rose? Venom? Dr. Doom? Tinkerer? Vulture? Sandman? Lizard? Molten Man? And the list goes on)

CREATE YOUR OWN SUPERHERO

I went to this section in Marvel website I just saw today and decided to post the images of the characters I had fun making.

Stone Hulkernaut

Jennifer Wayne

She-Lizard (She's not "Jennifer Wayne", I won't make another green monstrous Jennifer. Please state which look is better)

If his costume does remind you with a costume of a different character please do say so



Second Variant (I was actually trying to mak "Invisible Woman", FF marker wasn't available so I tried different logos until I decided on "Spider-Girl", that's what made me try a different Costume)

STREET FIGHTER LEGENDS - CHUN LI 02

No, "Chun Li" doesn't arrest "Dan Hibiki", this is just one of those "Coco-Bungo Tricky Covers" (I don't know what is it with comic book companies insisting on playing with this card!!!)

Written By (You ever wondered why they always credit the writer first? Just asking): Erik Ko & Ken Siu-Chong

Art By: Omar Dogan

Publisher: Udon Comics

It starts with "Chun Li" and her rival in the police academy "Po Lin", both of them graduate at the top of their excelsior (it is the most superior indeed) class

Then we head two years later for these two girls in the force, they talk about Sagat (before Ryu marks a scar on the big man's torso. Heck; it was before Sagat's eye get gouged), Chun-Li wonders what a top class fighter like him have to work for Shadaloo

Dan & his father are in their "Hibiki Dojo", Sagat shows displeasure of Hibiki's attitude in business and they have a fight that ends with Sagat getting his eye gouged. Unlike Ryu; Dan's father did not live

Police arrived at the scene of the crime. Dan didn't feel like giving any informations about the assailant to the cops to place vengeance on Sagat himself, but Chun-Li's father knew from the few question he asked and from Dan's body language that Sagat is the murderer.

Sagat puts on his eye patch and moves with his goons for a job.

In a chinese restaurant  a reunion is done between two old friends and this is how the issue ends

STREET FIGHTER IV COMIC

As Bully say when he reviews a comic he enjoys

This comic is fun

This is a little piece published by "Udon Comics", the official publisher of "Street Fighter" comics.

Oh yeah; Udon is the same guy who drew this piece of art

SOL REVIEWS NO. 600: INCREDIBLE HULK

All I can tell that this is a gullible issue about a great character, this is easily the poorest 600 anniversary issue, but not too poor.

3.5/5

It should be a pleasure the fact that "Greg Pak" the writer of "World War Hulk" is returning to the title in the next issue, but to be honest; I didn't enjoy "World War Hulk" as much as the ones boosted it to a masterpiece in the Hulk series

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 600: COVERS YOU'LL NEVER SEE

SOL REVIEWS NO. 600: THOR

Date of Publish: April 2009

Story1: Victory (By "Joe Michael Straczynski"(writer), "Oliver Coipel" & "Marko Djurdjevic" (pencils)):

Loki talks in the beginning about what he (wait a minute, she? A god does sex change?) did to Bor; the father of Odin. Bor is now back alive on Earth, believing his son Odin is dead before he mysteriously vanishes and now coming to Earth like a "Don Quixote" around the windmills (he sees all his surrounding monsters and attack).

"Jane Foster" tells "Dr. Donald Blake" (when did Thor get back to being Doc Blake? He was another person last time I checked) to call their mutual friend and help.

Thor tries to ease up his "Don Quixote" for a grandfather telling him he's among friends (Thor identified him as an unfamiliar Asgardian, but did not know he is his grandfather), but Thor is just another windmill so Bor strikes and a fight ignites

Thor needs to stop Bor but he can't stop him without killing him, so he calls for help from the Avengers. The Avengers arrive as Thor wanted, but he didn't get these guys:

• He gets these buffons instead; H.A.M.M.E.R. Avengers: Armored suited guy is: Iron Patriot/Norman Osbourn
• Hawkeye is really: Bullseye
• Wolverine is: Logan's son (don't know his name)
• Ms. Marvel: I think she's Moonstone
• Black Suited Spider-Man: Really McGargan/Venom shift-shaped the symbiote
• Dunno who the guy in green is

Thor gets help alright, but with it he gets extra burden cause Norman decides Thor needs to be arrested. Thor throws them away for their own sake.

Loki tells King "Balder the Brave" (I'm pretty sure Thor is the only son of Odin, how did Balder become king?) that he (sorry, she) identified the assailant on Earth to be Bor, father of Odin.

They reach Thor by the time he killed Bor, then they told him that was his grandfather

Asgardian rule: "Anyone who kills an Asgardian -mainly from the royal family- is to be banished from Asgard". Thor did not defend himself, instead he admitted he killed a royal Asgardian and said he will come back with talk like thunder and got banished from Asgard.

Loki has a plan for a new Asgard, an Asgard in Latveria.

Story 2 (Written by "Stan Lee", Pencilled by "David Aja"):
Thor is needed everywhere in a fight, so he decides to retire as his human alter ego "Dr. Donald Blake" and have his wife with him (hmmm; seems to me like every superhero in Marvel comics decide to give up being a superhero, Thor is the third one I find with such a decision after Spider-Man & "Iron Man"). As Dr. Blake he performs a successful surgery to a kid who decided to stay hanging because his idol "Thor" would never give up. And "Dr. Blake" decided to stay Thor and not quit.

OK; lets have my/our 20 questions stuff answered

How come Loki is a woman? I'm pretty sure he's a man. Is that a new Loki?

Ms. Loki

And here is the answer by "Chris Giarrusso" in story 3: "Welcome Back Thor"

Why is Balder king of Asgard since none said he is son of Odin?

Thanks again Mr. Giarrusso

There are reprints of older stories from the silver age by "Stan Lee" & "jack Kirby" about Loki & Balder. Then there is the gallery of the 600 issues of Thors solo adventures

In general: 4/5.
This is the weakest 600 annevirsary issue I read from Marvel comics, but the issue still does not fail to be entertaining enough

SOL REVIEWS 600: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

.I have the Romita jr cover, his art does not fail to paint joy on my face as it usually does.
.From what I saw of the rest of the covers the best ones is the Romita sr cover
.Quesada did most of the staff the favor of finally breaking the marriage and made me a favor by giving Spider-Man a brain trust that made his book the funny book it originally was and should still be, his art is great in OMD, but his cover is a mess
."Alex Ross" art is the most masterful. I don't find it good for comics interiors as I do find it for covers. The pencil & inking are great, the color red is the flaw in his cover

*Story 1: Last Legs (Slott & Romita jr):
.Spider-Man & DareDevil caused a bar to be closed,this makes them worthier of being in my favorite comic book characters list
.DareDevil explains how he can't feel Spider-Man's identity and tells Spider-Man he is lucky is a fine move
."Doctor Octopus" condition is the MAXIMUM surprise, but we all know it won't last
.Doc Controls the city and acts as it is a good thing tells he is a great villain, even that he doesn't show his condition on monitors
.Spider-Man saves a guy from an accident and is blamed for the accident and the one saved is stupis for thanking Spider-Man (Typical Parker Luck)
.Spider-Man's little chat with the Avengers (mostly Wolverine) is funny
.Ock still loves May Parker, he started paying attention to her as eh, then he wanted her heritage then he really loves her, and he never gave up on it
.A team-up between Spider-Man & the Human Matchstick is always entertaining
.I can't help but laugh at Jonah & Peter in the wedding
.The final panel is far from being a surprise, even without reading the solicit it is something easily anticipated considering the covers of the next arc

*Story 2: Identity Crisis (Stan Lee & Marcos Martin):
About time Stan makes a fabulous story after a long run of medicore comic strips

*Story 3: My Brothers Son (Mark Waid & Coleen Doran):
OK, nothing to say about this one but :touche:

*Story 4: If I Was Spider-Man (Bob Gale & Marlo Alberti):
I love this story, Bob Gale is better than Guggenheim

*Story 5: The Blessing (Marc Guggenheim & Mitch Breitweiser):
Blah Blah Blah......
"May Parker" wants blessing from her late husband

*Story 6: Fight at the Museum (Zeb Wells & Derec Donovan):
Q: What can I say beside the fact that this is the best story after the main story?
A: The Museum guide looks like one of the Simpsons characters

*Story 7: Violent Vision (Joe Kelly & Fiumara):
Heads up for upcoming issues, one of them is the return of "The Lizard"

Covers you will never See:
It's cruel not to laugh at the (Brubaker/Mckone) cover, the rest are fun

There is no slap in the face for the anti current Status-Quo, but they sure do miss plenty of fun

I read 2 other anniversary issues:
Captain America 600 & Thor 600
Captain America is the issue with the absolute highest quality of these three, Amazing Spider-Man comes second

Thus far this issue is the only issue marked with No. 600 that:
*Has no previous story reprint
*Came true to its series, numbered as it should be because the No. of issues for this title are truly 600

WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN?

I know since Watchmen movie was released a couple of months ago this thing is getting kind of old, but we still have the DVD's and video stores to keep the news as immortal as possible, right?

This image is from "Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro" (the PSX games), they have newspapers editions & "Parker Portfoilos"instead of game covers like its predecessor.

Look at the headline on the top left of the newspaper

SOL REVIEWS NO. 600: CAPTAIN AMERICA

*The issues starts with the origin by "Alex Ross", "Paul Dini" & lettered by Todd Klein

*A year has passed since the murder of "Captain America", "Sharon Carter" remembers dimly what happened that day, she gets the murder weapon and wants to make sure of whatever truthfulness is there and ingenuity of the murder gun.

A man underwent plenty of surgery to look & sound like "Steve Rogers", he even almost acts like "Steve Rogers", goes through memory lane and stop some hoods stealing his stuff

"The Avengers" talk together, consider attaining the memorial of "Captain America" and decide not to cause the shed of any blood. (reading the issue you'll notice I skipped two scenes)

"Norman Osbourn" believes Steve to have died a traitor, but he runs the memorial in armor and acts as if he loves Steve as a hero to Steve fans. Ronin (used to be Hawkeye before Bullseye get the uniform)/"Clint Barton" is the most ticked of Steve's friends by the act of Norman. (I skipped one more scene)
"Sharon Carter" greets Falcon (the one registered Avenger) and reveals to him and his fellow Avengers she believes cap to be alive (the never explain a bit of how it happens in this issue; "Steve Rogers" being alive)

This is "Jessica Drew"; the original Spider-Woman & not "Cathrine Zeta Jones". She is among the mourners

*Another story is about two of Steve's friends from "Roger Stern" & "John Byrne" run in the 80s of "Captain America". Stern wrote the story of how these two feel

*There is "the story of Captain America" note by his co-creator "Joe Simon"

*A classic story of "Captain America" by "Stan Lee". How the arch foe (Red Skull) knew the secret identity of "Captain America". The steps of discovery are pretty much the same of how "Norman Osbourn" discovers the secret identity of Spider-Man in "ASM #039"

TOMBSTONE=BIG MAN?

You know how he is the "Big Man" in the "Spectacular Spider-Man Animated Series", right?
Oh well; he owns a nightclub, he's a bookie, he stocks money from people and framed Deadpool to a crime he did not commit. Maybe this guy really is worthy of holding the title now days in comics

By The Way: This picture is from "Deadpool: Suicide Kings 1/5" miniseries

GREEN "SPAWN" LANTERN

I just could not pass this one, look at Hal's cape and stance like those of Spawn (Todd McFarlane's character)

SUPERHEROES STARTED AS TEENAGERS

I don't mean sidekicks, and not even started as sidekicks then became superheroes, I mean those who started as superheroes in their teens and I shall get non newer than those who I know appeared in the sixties.

1. Star Spangled Kid/Sylvester Pemberton (DC Comics): The original Star-Spangled Kid was Sylvester Pemberton, a Golden Age character. He became the Star-Spangled Kid in order to battle Nazi spies and fifth columnists during World War II. He was unique in that he was a kid superhero who operated with an adult sidekick, Stripesy a.k.a. Pat Dugan (he sort of looks like Sandman/FlintMarko/William Baker/Sylvester Mann). Both he and Dugan were superb acrobats along with having sufficient training in hand-to-hand combat. They devised a series of acrobatic maneuvers that allowed them to build upon one another's strengths, the Kid's agility and Dugan's strength. They also built the Star Rocket Racer, a bubble-topped limousine with the functions of a rocket and helicopter.

This image is for Sylvester after growing-up and becoming the superhero Starman.






2. Captain America/Steve Rogers: According to "Ed Brubaker" in "Captain America 601". He wanted to become a soldier but wasn't fit, then he underwent the transformation by the superhero serum when he was eighteen years old. Eight-Teen





3. Johnny Storm/The Human Torch: Started as a member of a team of grown ups, not just a simple sidekick (Stan Lee sure loves to have his heroes start in a young age, at least not all of them started like that) but a very important and efficient team member. He even had his solo adventures back then.


4. Spider-Man: This one is unique for being the first teenage solo superhero, not a sidekick, not a team player and didn't look for help in his fights, even when he got help offered to him he often rejects it because his fights with super villains are personal.





5. Original X-Men by Lee & Kirby: X-Men started as five teenagers in an academy being run by "Professor Charles Xavier". Leader comes first so: Cyclopse, Jean Grey(the infamous phoenix, she will soon be resurrected be sure of that, or maybe any time within the next ten years if she isn't right now) Beast, Angel & Iceman
