Why the movie Ghost Rider won't suck by noblenonsense
(Tue 01/30/2007 05:29pm)
It came to me while watching television that the movie Ghost Rider won't suck. Sure a movie about a second tier Marvel comic book character doesn't SEEM to be promising I point to the obvious cult classic success of Blade (third one doesn't count dangit!)...

The Fanboy Obsessions by noblenonsense
(Fri 12/08/2006 10:13am)
My sociology teacher in high school said the following: "pick your vices carefully. I chose Marlboro cigarettes and Budweiser beer. You may end up being a microbrewery fan but make sure you choose it and stick with it." We all got a laugh out of...

Your Two Cents by noblenonsense
(Wed 12/06/2006 09:05am)
"He's writing about my opinion?! What the...?" Yeah I am.I see myself as a glorified fanboy. I know a certain amount of science fiction that allies me with the nerds all over the world, I know random sports facts that puts me in the same space a...

On the B-List and fanboy addiction by noblenonsense
(Tue 11/28/2006 11:59am)
I remember having a D.A.R.E. class in middle school. I really don't remember much about it, or even what it stands for, but I did remember hearing that marijuana is a gateway drug. I'll be honest, I've never done drugs nor really want too, but this made s...

New Excalibur #13 by albrown
(Tue 11/28/2006 09:12am)
There's a new category of supervillains these days - and it's probably Bendis's fault - whom I mentally call "Old-school dudes who exist solely to get the crap beat out of them while heroes talk about their feelings."  Writers dredge these ...

Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #12 by albrown
(Tue 11/28/2006 09:11am)
I'm still trying to figure out exactly why I love this series as much as I do.  There's zero "superhero" stuff in it; it's just Mary Jane blushing and screwing up her love life over and over.  And if I was just feeling nostalgic for ol...

The Immortal Iron Fist #1 by albrown
(Tue 11/28/2006 09:04am)
My deep and unabiding love for Matt Fraction and Ed Brubaker is well-established, as is my passion for kung fu characters from the 70s and green footie pajamas, so it should be no surprise that my hopes for the relaunch of the Immortal Iron Fist were sky-...

Ultimate Don'ts (Marvel) by Korinthian
(Wed 11/22/2006 07:32pm)
So when I started reading Ultimate marvel comic books, I had high hopes for it. I was under the impression that Marvel would not repeat the bad writing, retcons and mistakes of the past. So I made a list of things I did not want to occur in the Ultimate u...

Amazing Spider-Man 536 by noblenonsense
(Wed 11/22/2006 06:31pm)
This issue starts out as a continuation of 535 but quickly turns into "where does this fit into continuation?!?!" In fact there's an editorial note that assures readers that Spider-Man has indeed changed sides thanks to Civil War #5 and #6. Wait...doesn't...

The Bucky Clause and Death in comics by noblenonsense
(Tue 11/21/2006 10:07am)
Once upon a time there was a general rule that DC and Marvel abided by. No one in comics stays dead besides Uncle Ben, Jason Todd, and Bucky. That rule is known by all of fandom. If you go up to a casual comic book reader and say "the Bucky Clause&qu...

DC by noblenonsense

A good quote by Mark Twain:" I am different from Washington; I have a higher, grander standard of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but I won't."In that sense it should be made known that I'm a Marvel man. What can I s...
