Naruto In Beast Mode

So yeah, I've read chapter 431 of Naruto. To say the thing is awesome would almost be an understatement. I thought Naruto was doing serious business in the previous chapter, but that was merely his light work. The Naruto in chapter 431 is like a completely different person from the one I've read up til now, at least on the battlefield. Naruto is giving orders on what to do, keeping a clear head, and acting like an adult. I like the goofy Naruto, but the serious Naruto in chapter 431 is just so many levels up epic win. This is the Naruto I have always wanted to see. He is the only one that can deal with the threat that Konoha is facing right now.

Right from the start, one of the Pains summons a rhino and Naruto just stands there, totally unfazed while this behemoth charges at him. Naruto stops the creature in it's tracks, grabs it by the horn and throws it up in the air. That's right, he threw that rhino up in the air with his bare hands. Two more summons were sent after Naruto and he quickly creates two clones, makes two mega sized Rasengans and hits the beasts with them. Next, he throws a punch at one of the Pains that misses, but because of Naruto's ability to gather natural energy in sage mode, the pain still takes damage and is sent flying back by sheer force of wind. If I were the bad guys and I saw Naruto do that stuff, I would wet and crap myself at the same time.

Naruto is now the strongest ninja in his village. Some are saying he may even have blown past Sasuke and after reading this chapter twice, I don't find it hard to believe. He has a far better grasp on sage mode than Jiraiya did so I'd wager that he can do a lot more in his current form. If anyone ever disses the character of Naruto again, just show them the image below.

Beast mode was just a term I wanted to use for this entry. I take it you read this chapter as well?

Super Hero Secret IDs & Their Friends

I've always felt Clark Kent has had one of the poorest disguises of all time for a secret Identity. All he does is straight up his "S" curl so it isn't visible and put on some glasses. Well, also depending on the era, Clark is either goes out of his way to be a bumbling idiot so people don't suspect he's an alien from another world, or here's the non-clumsy modern version. Personally, I like both, but if Lois is indeed a star reporter then she'd have to see through that disguise. Let's be realistic here. No one is that clumsy unless they are trying to be. I actually read a post on a message board that Lois finding out that Clark was Superman takes away from the whole dynamic. Seriously? The dynamic of making Lois look like a complete idiot who is unable to see what is right in front of her? I didn't miss that one bit. In fact, one of the few problems I had with Superman The Animated Series is that Warner Brothers didn't allow the creators t

Hooray for Reprints!

The Green Goblin has often been touted as Spider-Man's deadliest foe. He is what the Joker is to Batman. I wonder if Stan knew back when Gobby first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #14 that the Goblin would become the menace that he is to Spidey today. What makes the Goblin such an interesting foe isn't the costume. No. Much like Spider-Man, Gobby is such a great villain because the man underneath the suit is fascinating. Norman Osborn is one effed up dude to say the least. He was so annoyed with Spider Man getting in his way that he the battle between the two of them personal. He discovered Spidey's secret ID, revealed his own identity to the wall-crawler and would later go on to make Spidey's life a living nightmare. Gobby not only screws up Spidey's life, he screws up the lives of those Spidey cares about like Flash Thompson or if your name is Gwen Stacy, thinks ain't lookin' too good for you. I've read every early Spidey/Gobby story except one and it

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
