I do hope you've all read Transmetropolitan.  Given this board's affection for Fear & Loathing and that the main character of this book is based on a particular journalist portrayed by Depp in that film. |

Preacher kicks all kind of ass. To the point that I'm sorry that Ennis went on to do the Punisher, because really, that's a character in need of a good permanent vacation. I've read the older Marvel stuff, which was OK (Welcome Back Frank is cool and all, but nothin' like Preacher), but I noticed that they moved Ennis' series to Marvel Max. Has it gotten better or worse? Whedon's Astonishing X-Men will show you all you need to know about how well Whedon handles someone else's characters. Namely, quite fucking well, provided he likes them. I think Astonishing sucks because I think the art sucks. I have the first couple issues, but I couldn't stick with it. Good writing or not. |

Well the Fantastic Four trailer is up now. Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would, but it's still the Fantastic Four and I still can't bring myself to care all that much about it. |

Whedon's Xmen has me tempted to buy a comic again for the first time in over a decade. I was looking through it in a store and caught myself going "I wonder what is going to happen to Kitty in the next issue?"
Good sign that.

That Fantastic Four trailer got me a bit excited. I still think the Thing doesn't look quite right; he's too sheeny, too latexy. But the other effects looked decent. The trailer needed more of the actors speaking, because you get nothing of their characters through that.

Instantly suspicious.
I don't trust trailers with barely any dialogue. That tells me that they had such a hard time finding decent dialogue, they decided just to go with action shots. Last movie that did this: Catwoman.
I like the song they picked, but I doubt it's in the film. That's another reason to be suspicious.
I'm predicting a very mediocre film indeed, not that you have to be psychic to predict that yet another superhero film will suck.

The song was the remixed "Counting bodies like sheep" by A Perfect Circle. I'm not sure how they got Maynard and Co. to let them use their song, but I suspect pacts with the devil were involved.

Also Marvel related, Mile High comics has a lot of new full issue previews to check out. Some decent stuff there, some ok issues, and some crap. |
