Goku and the Gang Return

Have you heard about the upcoming Dragon Ball Z movie? No, not that live action movie that's probably going to suck so hard when reffering to it we'll have to spell hard with an "o." I'm talking about the real deal DB movie. This movie will be animated and written by Akira Toriyama, the father of DBZ. Releasing in November, it's supposed to take palce after the Majin Buu saga. Outside of contributing a few characters like Mecha Freeza in Super Dragon Ball Z and few other bits here and there, Toriyama-San hasn't really touched DB. The series ended for 1995 in Japan and he's long since moved onto other projects. Still, it is nice to see him return to one of his greatest creations and now DB/DBZ fans really have something to be excited about.

Holy shh----!!!

Damn! A new DBZ movie that isn't that funky live-action one and actually done by the creator!

I understand what you mean about how definitely the Live-Action will suck; almost every Japanese thing turned to an American movie sucked.

A new anime movie is worth watching, so the release is going to be this November, what day precisely?

The fact that someone even thought a live-action DBZ movie was a good idea makes me cringe. Super Mario Bros. sucked. Street Fighter sucked. Double Dragon REALLY sucked. The only live-action movies I liked were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mortal Kombat.

As for a the actual date in November, no word on that yet. All the info I could find was what I posted int he blog, unfortunately.

Amazing Spider-Man #573 Variant

As I've stated in the past, I'm not one for variant comic covers. The limited print run of these covers is an excuse for the comic distributors to jack up the price on something I wonder will stay under the $3 price tag. Regardless of my thoughts on variant covers and the current direction of Amazing Spider-Man, I still think the variant for Amazing # 573 is five different kinds of Awesome. Note that the all powerful, immortal Stephen Colbert is on the cover, paying homage to Amazing Fantasy #15. Not only does the cover bring a smile to my face, but I think the artwork is pretty solid and is drawn by Marvel's EiC, Joe Quesada. I may not be all that fond of the guy, but he's one heck of an artist. My only knock against the art here is that Spidey's costume looks baggy. If you don't feel like paying an absurd amount of cash for a flippin' comic book just to get this variant, having a digital version cover, or the Marvle.com logo in the right hand corner, right...

Marvel Wants to Hear From YOU!

In the letter page of Amazing Spider-Man #565, Spidey editor Steve Wacker filled the page with nothing but negative letters from readers that hate Brand New Day. Who says Marvel doesn't listen to the fans? And what's more, Mr. Wacker has even asked us to write in and tell them how we feel. Can you believe that? It takes class to run nothing but angry letters and a couple of those to the right are pretty nasty. My mother actually suggested I write to the editor and state my feelings on the molestation of Spider-Man in ASM. I'd been meaning to write them, but I just never sat down to do so. With the editor of the Spidey books kindly saying that the letter's page is "the place to vent," I think the time has finally come for me to express myself. I don't know if it will get printed since I've stopped reading ASM, but if they take my letter and many others that are outraged by BND to heart, then that's all that matters. Dear ASM Staff, Do you know what ...

Back to Red & Blue

You gotta love Spider-Man's black costume. Its simple, sleek design has been a fan favorite for more than 20 years. It looks just as cool in the cartoons as well. As sweet a costume as it is, I'm always happy to see the web-head return to the classic red & blue tights, which is what he does in the Spectacular Spider-Man episode "Intervention." This episode moves at a slower pace than others but considering the heart of it is Peter's inner conflict with the symbiote, I think moving slower was the right choice here. This episode was written by Greg Weisman, the show's producer. He hasn't written an episode since "Survival of the Fittest," the series premier episode, so it really was a pleasure to see him return to the writing helm. The good news is that aunt May, despite suffering from a heart attack in the previous episode is doing fine. The bad news is, the bill is pretty huge and this puts Peter in a foul mood. Mary Jane, Gwen and Liz all tr...
