A Fan's Opion of BND 7 Month's After

I was browsing the Crawl Space Message boards when I came across a thread that linked to an interesting editorial. It's pretty much more of the same from a fan who doesn't like the new direction, but I I enjoyed reading it. While I don't think it really matters how long you've been reading Spidey as to whether your opinion is valid or not, I do think it's worth stating that this guy has been reading Spidey for a long time, Amazing Spidey more than anything. Yeah, he's up there in age, but he's also a huge fan, one of the many Marvel has turned away. The longtime fans is where a good chunk of the green comes from when it comes to comics. How long will it take Marvel to realize that it isn't a good idea to bite the hand that feeds them?

I'm still trying to figure out the market mechanics of this when they're constantly pissing off the fans, and fairly blatantly sometimes.

I've found it weird how the battle between the fans and editorial has seeped its way into the comics, especially with that last page with Mary Jane's return some issues ago.

Very strange how things are these days.

Composer Shout Out: Yuji Ohno

For my money, one of the best composers in the music business would have to be Yuji Ohno. This guys is mostly known for his work on just about anything that has to do with Lupin III. After the last few weeks, it's hard for me not to think of Ohno's compositions when Lupin comes to mind. (I've been listening to his various albums to get my jazz fix.) Ohno's works are primarily jazz-inspired and even some of his earliest efforts on Lupin music in the '70s is still considered extraordinary. Not only has he covered music for the various Lupin series and movies, he's also done music for all three PS2 Lupin games. The man is also an accomplished musical genius even when he isn't working on music for Lupin. Tokyo City Lights is a jazz masterpiece. If you want to hear some of Ohno's work, just check out this YouTube pag e with various uploads.

R.I.P Mickey Mouse

In case you haven't heard , Wayne Allwine, the voice actor of Mickey Mouse passed away at the age of 62. He had been voice the world's most famous mouse since 1977. The original voice actor for Mickey was Walt Disney himself. Allwine's imitation of Disney's voice was spot on. Most of the the Mickey Mouse cartoons I've seen were voiced by Allwine. 'Tis a sad day in cartoon history. R.I.P, Wayne Allwine.

Justice League: Doom

Watching DVDs on the computer is nice but sometimes it's better to watch them on TV. So after some thinking, I decided to get myself a new DVD player. This one is by Sony and it only set me back $40. Why didn't I get a Blu-Ray player? Because I'm not 100% sold on them. Besides, I hear the PS3 is a good Blu-Ray player as opposed to the PS2's DVD playback functionality, which was crap. When I get a PS3, I'll have Blu-Ray, so I can wait. And yet, when I bought my new DVD player, I picked up my first Blu-Ray movie. Well it came with Blu-Ray and DVD. Justice League: Doom is the latest DC Universe animated film. How prepared is Batman? Prepared to take down his own teammates, if it becomes necessary. Based off the Justice League of America: Tower of Babel story written by Mark Waid, JL: Doom explores Batman's paranoid nature.
