SUPERMAN & SPIDER-MAN

Can you imagine Superman & Spider-Man in one movie? Together?
Some might think I mean "Toby Macguire" and "Brandon Routh" together in one movie? Perhaps.
I'm talking big rumors here; Spider-Man & Superman to meet in one movie together, both comic book characters tangle in live action face to face

THE POWERS OF WOLVERINE

These sci-fi forums has a subject about top 50 comic book heroes for the individual writing them, one of the heroes he enlisted is "James Maxwell Howlett" alias Logan alias Wolverine, he stated that the claws aren't originally his but they actually were laced in him by "Weapon X" the
Candian mutant making agency. Let us take a deep look in the history of Wolverine's powers.

As a youth, Logan first sheathed his bone claws against his childhood friend who is a mutant as well as him, his former friend and deadly nemesis "Crusher Creed" alias "the sabertooth". Sabertooth turned against his friend for a reason mistified to me, I mustread "Wolverine Origins comics" to figure the idea.

After Logan renamed himself and masked his crush identity as his cousin and became minors; Logan started feeling his hyper smell and his animal instincts running in him, Logan started running free in the forest.


Wolverine also has a healing factor that speeding his healing process which helped him endure the physical pain he felt a lot of times, like the time he had the adamantium laced to his bones for the first time, in fights with the likes of the Hulk & the Windego & Magneto removing the adamantium laced to his bones as in this redrawn state from the original art by Batman/X-Men celebrated artist "Jim Lee".


Somehow; the adamantium held back Loagan's wild animal instincts to be fully released, Wolverine's friend "Kurt Wagner" alias Nightcrawler helped supressing the beast within the hero. Later on; a new layer of Adamantium was laced to his bones.

A most notable thing about Wolverine is that he's over a 100 years old, during this time he served in the army during WWII & befirended "Steve Rogers" alias "Captain America", he as well worked in S.H.I.E.L.D. and befriended "Nick Fury" other agents among them a nice couple called "Richard & Mary Fitzpatrick Parker"

THE KING OF MARVEL

Yesterday on the way home from college I was thinking why some characters should stay in "King of Fighters" series, one of them I thought he is the Marvel popular superhero of KoF.

Here's the list of similarities I found, the star of this entry is one of them and it is up to you to guess who is the one that gave me the idea for this entry.

Kyo Kusanagi = Spider-Man: Both are two of the most popular in their medium, both of them have clones and both of them has a major fan.

Iori Yagami = Venom/Eddie Brock: The antagonist of hero with equal powers & a parasite within.

K = Wolverine: K's memory was erased from him and he was a forcibly created soldier for the community they work for, or the facility that played with them and put something new within, each struggled to regain his memory and went against the facility experimented on him. K is with "Nest Cartel" & it happened to Logan with "Weapon X"

Asamiya Athena = Jean Grey/The Phoenix: Psychic chicks with great power lurking within. The thing that differs them is that Athena's inner power isn't evil.

Terry Bogard = Captain America: A popular great fighter wearing the colors of the American flag with a star on the shirt of each one of them.

Ryo Sakazaki = Shang Chi: Both have a brotherly like friend from a different continent, both of them were trained in the martial arts by their fathers, but the difference is when Ryo had to fight his father he found his father is a victim, Shang's father is evil this is why he keeps fighting him

Geese Howard = Kingpin: Powerful rich crimelords, great fighters, each of them has a son oppsing him. Rock Howard (unlike Richard Fisk) is good, never turned evil.

ISSUES RECAP: PAD AMS

Yesterday I reread the two comedy issues of Amazing Spider-Man written by "Peter Allen David": #266 & #267. You see; they came out consecutive.

*The issue on the left is Amazing #266, a masterpiece drawn by the magnifecient "Sal Buscema". The art might have affected my judgment on it, but I'm a fan of our pal Sal that I really liked his stories in the series "What If...?" which I didn't like very much, so please bear with my review. If anyone has any steam you can release it as a commentrary.

[Issue Summary] The story starts with "The Toad" from Magneto's "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" trying to commit suicide, one of the spectators urges Morty to hurry up in jumpingbut spidey catches him and manages to put a smile on the face of Toad instead of him staying in the frown. This happened before the break-up between spidey & the cat. (This issue was releeased with Spectacular #104, Pete broke with Felecia in Spectacular #100.)

Weeks later spidey catches two magazine-shop burglars wearing his black duds and had unwanted help by the toad, "The Toad" took Spidey's offer weeks before to be his friend and announce he's to be his partner, live on T.V "Eugen Coliostro"/"Fabulous FrogMan" saw the news and got angry.

Toad sat a trap for the next day for Spidey on an appointment spidey promised Mortimer to meet him. Eugene found out and went in the next morning to warn the web-head (I want to see more of Frog-Man) and the Toad got in. Toad & "FrogMan" fought each other leaving the punks to Spider-Man to handle.

An unexpected member of the irregular cast joined to prove himself the better spidey assitant and the story ended with them being a team. [Issue Summary]

The issue stayed funny, I laughed hard and I treasure this issue very much, well done "Peter David", well done pal "Sal Buscema". The story has no weaknes I.M.H.O and I advise ones who don't read comics to take it. The summary is not funny because:
1. I didn't write the jokes
2. It is best to read the story itself and look at the magnificent art of the master

5 webs (spiderfan.org has a great way to rate web-wonder stories)*

*On the right is issue #267, like the previous issue I read it once again yesterday, like the previous issue I laughed when I read it the first time, but unlike the previous issue I didn't laugh at all on the second read of this story.

[Issue Summary] "Black Suited Spidey" thinks about his troubles and gets suddenly startled by the Torch, the duo hang around town for a while, the end of their tag-along is with the Torch inviting Spidey to lunch at the B.Building at one day might he come.

The Torch leaves and Spider-Man notices a burglar holding a lighter-gun, to escape Spider-Man the burglar held a Manniquin with the lighter pointed on its head then dropped it and escaped to the subway, ticked Spidey chased after the burglar and had to throw a tracer on him to keep track with him. Spidey got caught by the metro-station security but he took his leave.

The next day Spidey wore his original "Red 'n Blue" duds and started searching for the burglar half a day with no use, but he remembered the way he used to track down his Spider-Tracers in the early days to find the signal of his spider-tracer coming from the suburbia.

In the suburbia; Spidey met plenty of trouble to find the burglar and a couple of friendly faces giving him a ride. By the house of the burglar spidey was standing when the burglar left in his Volvo, there was a chase until Spidey caught him and decided to return to the city where he can be more relaxed. [Issue Summary]

Didn't break a laugh ont at all, but the story is still worth it. The artist is "Bob McLeod", I'm not a fan of his art but it isn't bad, the sketcheing of Bob is actually sleek and I can't blame him for not laughing again

ABOUT A FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD WRITER

I am unfortunate to inform you here that writer "Tom Defalco" might make an unfortunate move, to learn more about the possibility of him leaving "Marvel Comics" you may go ahead here, read and shed some tears

INCREDIBLE HULK DVD

I'm talking about the 1982 animated show they started airing with "Spider-Man & his Amazing Friends" season 2, not the 90s nor the 60's animated versions. Not the comics collection nor do I mean "Live Action"

Proud with having the DVD's I watched the whole series of one of my favorite superheroes, the show is one of my dearly favorites I hold dear with all my heart. The Hulk out scenes, the commentrary by Stan Lee, and the villains Hulk fight's starting with the "Deadly Doctor Octopus", they didn't make fun of Ock, he might've win if Hulk didn't forgive Rick for tricking him.

TOM DEFALCO

I was looking at my back issues of Spider-Man, red Spectacular Spider-Man 41 with the Looter which isn't really good, but other writings by the writer of that issue "Tom Defalco".

Amazing Spider-Man 252-282 have some of the best writings ever, all by the improved Tom Defalco, he made me enjoy reading Thunderstrike, I'm not a fan of Thunderstrike, not a hater of the character too. Enjoyed what I read of his series of Spider-Girl and I even give 4 out 5 for the two parts he wrote about a character I despise with all my heart of the worst story ever, his two parts of "Maximum Carnage".

A great writer is a writer who can make you love reading on characters you hate without complaining at all.

"Maximum Carnage" is co-written by two writers created some of my favorite stories:
1. Kraven Last Hunt
2. Spider-Man gets married (retconned? yes, but the marriage issue still happened despite the fact it's undone)
3. The Big Question
4. Without Great Powers
But the parts they wrote; I can't put different words in my speech besides I couldn't read after the first three pages of each part of "Maximum Carnage"

So a peace of advice, search for "Tom Defalco" scripting and read it

PPTSSM 130

Looking back at classic Spider-Man stories, or to saying reading back issues I never read before I have to hand you this little tale after all the time I avoided it

SCRIPTED BY: BOB LAYTON
ART BY: JIM FERN

The Hobgoblin got shot while escaping the Kingpins building after a failed attempt to steal a book from one of the safes in the aforementioned building and the injuries of the Goblin are too hard in a level of him getting temporarily crippled.

To get the book he failed to steal he delivers a poisonous note to Harry Osborn, at first he considered Peter parker but to him that wimp doesn't have as many friends and as much responsibilities as his friend Harry. The poison seeped through the skin of Harry and he had 24 hours to live.

The content of the poisonous note is a demand of getting Spider-Man to Hobgoblin. In the hideout of the Goblin Spider-Man heard the summary of the situation and got poisoned as well by a radar like detector to guide him to the book. Trying to evade the toxin effect he went to his friend Dr. Curtis Connors, but after some tests with only 15 more hours for spidey to live Spidey interrupts Connors and says "I know, you need 36 hours to find a cure".

Desperately; Spider-Man heads where the radar points to get the book and returns to Connors to find men of the Kingpin in Connors lab with their boss holding up Connors. Kingpin knew what kind of toxin affected Spider-Man and made a deal with him; the "Anti Toxin" Spider-Man uses to save himself & Harry Osbourn then head with Fisk to hand his end of the bargain, the Hobgoblin was too smart for Spider-Man and the story ends with Spider-Man leaving Kingpin and the big mob boss calling his foe an amateur.

REVIEW:
The events of this story take place after the gang war in Amazing 284-288 & before the events of "Spider-Man vs Wolverine"

OVERALL:
The story is really excellent, I'm sorry I didn't read it earlier, the least of it is I made it up for my mistake & read it yesterday.

ASPIRINS

O.K THEN; NO MAGIC GIANT SIZED CHAKARA ASPIRINS, BUT THE LEAST OF IT THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT
ENOUGH TO SUBSTITUTE THE MAGIC ANTIDOTE FOR THE LARGE SIZED PAIN IN THE HIDDEN LEAF VILLAGE.

P.S: SINCE THESE VILLAGES ARE HIDDEN; HOW DOES PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO REACH THEM?

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Just read the story, I recommend you read issues 9-15 before reading 17-19.

The story is an epic by Writer "Archie Goodwin" & artist "George Tuska"

DETECTIVE CONAN

Detective Conan is one of the most excelsior (pardon the StanLee phrase if you don't like it, I love this word and he's one of the most talented writers on Earth, one of my all time favorite writers as well) animes to ever get released, like every anime it starts as a successful Manga series.

If you don't know Detective Conan you should get yourself some mangas or get some of the episodes, it is always the best to start with square one (not the children programme with this phrase, I mean start from the beginning) to get the major plot on the character.

He is a brilliant high school student named "Senji Kodo" with noticeble talent in football (the real football, the one called by Americans Soccer). Loving challenges and "Sherlock Holmes" he used his brilliance of deduction to solve crime mysteries police can't solve (the detectives should be ashamed of themselves, more than those of Batman because here a high school kid solves mysteries they can't).

One day returning from a carnival he went to with his girlfriend "Ran Murry" (the girl in the picture) he saw two suspicious guys in black (why can't they let the villain dress colorful for once, always black) doing a deal, one of the guys hit the young eavesdropper on the head and fed him a new type of poison developed in their labs, this poison instead of killing Senji turned him young (reversed puberty, a youth medicine? Silvermaine should've learned that instead of using the tablet of time).

Walking home he discovers he's young again, trying to convince prfessor Agasa (neighbor of the Kodo's) he's the real Senji he uses his power of deduction to tell Agasa where he went, like "Sherlock Holmes" Senji said "Elementry My Dear Dr. Agasa".

In Agasa's lab dressed in a set of clothes he used to wear in his youth he hid from Ran and wore spare glasses of Agasa, when Ran asked him about his name Senji looked back at the book shelf he had his back leaned on and saw a book authored by "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" (this author got really famous from the fact that people ignored him and believed Sherlock Holmes; his creation to exist in reality) and named himself "Conan Edugawa".

Ran took the little rascal with her home and sent him to an elementry school with three kids he saw in the carnival of the day that changed his life. Conan now is looking for a way to get his puberty back, don't know when the series ended and in what issue. Miss this series and you miss a lot of great entertainment

CHAPTER 430: FACE OFF

"Naruto & Pain Face Off" (Note that all script typed here out of the panels is purely my fabrication)

Pain: "You copied my hairstyle monster, prepair to die for such treason"

Naruto: "Shut Up, you destroyed my whole villaige just for this. DIE. Hold it; I'm the good guy so I shouldn't kill you, you can escape and destroy the villaige again but I won't kill you"

Naruto: "Heh, I killed one of your bodies, it better stays dead for your own good Pain"

Pain: "How amusing, you just contradicted yourself"

Naruto: "Nope"

Pain: "Your more powerful than the rest, this'll make taking you down more delicious"

Naruto: "You're Pain, I should kill you with my magic chakara aspirins and save myself a lot of grief by destroying all six of you. Couldn't any of you expert ninjas think of such an approach?"

Pain: "You're not funny"

Naruto: ........................

Wait until Friday for the next glorious chapter: ASPIRINS

AFTER THE DELAY

After postponing releasing he new manga chapters last weak because of Christmas they have been released, happy hunt Manga freaks because "It's Show Time" (just felt like saying it).

A few days has passed since the release, but it's always good to inform the clueless and feel warm from the inside by hearing "HUH? WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

MY FAVORITE CARTOON IS BASED ON STRIP'S?

My favorite animated Spider-Man cartoon ever with the best animated Dr. Doom story ever is genuinely based on comic strips of the seventies, great strips.

Spider-Man out of the U.N assembly building while Dr. Doom is in making his point why should he be nominated "Master of the World"

Spider-Man crashes in the building and battle "Dr. Victor Von Doom"

J. Jonah kissing up to Doctor Doom's mug, after reading Amazing Spider-Man #005 written by the same writer of the strip I thought Jameson hates Dr. Doom forever.

Thank you very much Mr. Lieber, you & John Romita developed a magnificent strip that was translated to a fantastic animated show, specially with the great art of the animated show generally based on the art of Jazzy John Romita, Incredibly the best Spider-Man artist of all ages.

UH, OH

Appearantely: I made a terrible mistake by thinking B.N.D comic strips
Look: Peter will flirt MJ, but she's not his wife, she's his girlfriend. Stan renovates the 70s comic strips.

Can't find the strip, so like unca Spidey told Jonah before he turns Gargan to Scorpion: "'Till next time kiddies"

BEFORE MEEKRAT

Heed Thy Words Victims of Cruelty, Thou Ist Bound To Witness The End of The Married peter Parker for Eternity. Many of you already did, why should I say such words?

Please; Do Not Call Thy Names Such As Bad News Bearer, MeDidth Not Start Such Behavior.

The title "Mr. & Mrs Parker" is canceled (retconned) even from the comic daily strip, unless M.J will return and this is just a joke or a dream Peter Parker is having. Just wish for the best

FATALITY

SHANG-TSU....ERM, SORRY. PAIN WINS: FATALITY

Pain, or just one the many bodies Pain (Akatsuki Member: A dangerous gang of S level ninjas) sucked the soul out of Shizune (he sucked informations, but the thing he left out of her looks like her soul) as Shang-Tsung from "Mortal Kombat" series does. R.I.P Shizune, I'll miss you.

I wish they didn't make her pet a pig, echh.

Just call me a lazy fan for not wanting to chop the single panels of her death out of the pages, please don't be ticked.

CHECKOUT THIS BLOG

It's delightful, one of my favorite blogs, it's wrong not to check it out:
http://sacomics.blogspot.com
A blog didicated to comics of the silver age (1955-1970, or so as the blog author considers the period). The author makes some fun trivias. Only the ones who don't enjoy comics won't enjoy this site

MARVEL TEAM-UP v1 #029

This issue is a real treat, worth every cent you might pay for it. Why? follow the letters.

*For starters: This cover is drawn by comicbook legend "jazzy John Romita" (for those who don't know it, John Romita sr is nicknamed jazzy, don't know what jr's nickname)

*The cover also shows that the inside heroes are two of the best of "Stan (the man) creation's"; "Johnny Storm/The 2nd Human Torch" (before the fantastic 4 an android "Human Torch" was created during the "Golden Age of Comics" by the predecessor of Marve named "Timely Comics"), Johnny is one of my all time favorite comicbook heroes. The other one is "Tony Stark/IronMan" who had his turn in the Cinema May 2008.

*Open the cover and check the credits, the writer is "Gerry Conway" (he offed "Gwen Stacy" with style and wrote the pilot episode of the 90s Spider-Man animated series "Night of the Lizard" which is considerably the best episode in the entire series). The artist is masterful "Jim Mooney", look at the art of Jim Mooney and you'll understand what I mean about him being masterful, his art is simply stunning.

Plot: "Tony Stark" needed the aid of the "Fantastic 4" to stop a villain causing electro-murders from causing further damage, Tony's Body Guard (he used this form to keep his identity secret) couldn't stop the villain of the issue on his own, but the only Fantastic person who is available for his aid is "The Human Torch". IronMan wasn't confident about Torch's ability (apperantly he didn't read Johnny's solo adventures :P) and the Torch felt uneasy about shellhead since his warm reception.

A classic issue, in comics I always find classics of the 80s and earlier to be better issues than nowdays, but 2days comics are much better than those of the period since 1991-1996. Too bad not all classics are good but at least over 95% is great for me in both Marvel & DC. 5/5

NO ONE IS TOO OLD FOR COMIC BOOKS

First introduction to the concept I had is from mad magazine in a section of "Good side & bad Side of... jokes", a father looking at his teenage son reading a comic magazine and saying: "Comic Books, you're too old for this stuff", his son replies: "Not anymore, comics now have sex, nudity, violence...", the father pulled the issue from his son: "GIVE ME THAT, YOU'RE TO YOUNG FOR THIS STUFF".

I'm not saying there are no comics good for children, and I won't say there never was/is/will be children friendly comic books, all I'm saying is: "There are children comics, all ages comics, teenagers comics & adults comics"

'Marvel Adventures' series are kids comics, they still are good fun for older readers not too simple writings.

'DARK HORSE, DC & MARVEL' make comics for grown people that are still good for kids to read without any harm caused to the minds of the youth.

'Ultimate Spider-Man' is a good title made mainly to appeal to teenagers, it still is good for older readers. What is made for teenagers is something requiring of 'Parental Advisory' for those under the age of readers these comics are made for.

Spawn, Punisher & 'Mark Millar's' writings (except Marvel Knights Spider-Man) are directed for the adult audience, if comics were kids stuff then you should have no problem letting your kids read these comics, I point mainly on Spawn because I saw some of the animated series (have very mature contents, trust me).

Comic publishers rate the comics they publish for the age they fit, you see rating's like:
A = Adults, T = Teenagers, PG, etc......, the people judging comics to be kids stuff are most likely people who never read comics and heard they are kids stuff or they only read children comics.

Start reading comics or at least look at the rating label on the covers before judging comics aren't suitable for mature audience, start reading comics to see that reading comics is in fact a healthy hobby (don't focus on obssessed comic readers who want to be the characters in reality), comics fans desire art and enhance their drawing abilities and writing abilities.

Comics also are good for economy and lingual learning, a graduated student of English literature wrote his graduation thesis on Spider-Man and it wasn't tossed back to his face to write a thesis about something serious instead.

So as repetitve as I wrote it: "Comics isn't purely children items, comics reading is suitable for any age"
