Meet the New Superman!

The comic book community has been buzzing lately with news of a newly-cast actor as Superman for the Zack Snyder reboot movie. Meet Henry Cavill and he's British, and that's about everything I know of him. Kinda funny a British actor will play an American character, eh?

As for the looks, he certainly got the hair and the face for Clark Kent. He just needs to be a bit bigger to play as Superman. But I don't know why they had to replace Brandon Routh. I didn't like "Superman Returns", but I definitely thought Routh was a good choice as Superman.

Oh well, I trust Zack Snyder and his decisions as he somewhat accurately directed comic book movies such as "300" and "Watchmen".

"Thor" Classic Version Mini-Bust by Bowen

This is my first collectible for the year 2011 - Bowen's Thor classic version mini-bust. I've been waiting a long time for a new Thor mini-bust to come since the old Bowen Thor bust doesn't come with arms. But now here he is, the God of Thunder!

"Batman: Arkham City" Hugo Strange Reveal Trailer

It seems 2011 will be another year full of superhero goodness! A new trailer has appeared for the sequel to the acclaimed "Batman: Arkham Asylum" video game titled "Batman: Arkham City" featuring the one and only Dark Knight.

"Batman: Arkham Asylum" took the the superhero genre of gaming to a new height, being crowned as the best superhero video game to date. And I completely agree with that.

Anyway, in this trailer we see the probable main villain of the game - Hugo Strange. The CG trailer looks really impressive, as it almost looks like the characters are real actors. Here's the trailer.

"Thor" Official Trailer Released!

If you were fast enough, you would've have seen the leaked trailer from Comic-Con a few months ago. It got some fans really excited, including me. But this time Marvel has officially released the trailer.

Although it's pretty much the same as the one leaked before, it contains a lot of new scenes with different cuts, and pretty much looks like an "official movie trailer" if you catch my drift.

Review: Amazing Spider-Man #648

Story: Dan Slott
Art: Humberto Ramos

"Brand New Day" is over, and "Big Time" starts. Now, Dan Slott is the sole writer of the book, with artists rotating between Humberto Ramos, Marcos Martin, and Stefano Caselli. With this, I hope the storytelling and flow between stories become more consistent compared to when the book had several writers.

This issue features an all-star cast - Avengers, Sinister Six, the supporting cast of Spider-Man appear in the book. Slott has laid the groundwork on this issue that will play out as time goes by.

"Green Lantern" Movie Trailer Released!

Finally, Warner Bros. has released a trailer for their upcoming superhero movie, "Green Lantern". The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, Blake Lively as Carol Ferris, Mark Strong as Sinestro, and Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond.

The trailer already features a lot of characters from the Green Lantern universe - Kilowog, Tomar Tu, Sinestro, and a look at Oa. Also, we get to see the Green Lantern costume in action. What's interesting is that instead of the traditional spandex, the costume is made of a construct from GL's ring, and it definitely looks like that in the trailer.


The movie is set to be released in June 17th, 2011.

Review: Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #4

Story: Peter J. Tomasi
Art: Fernando Pasarin, Cam Smith

I guess the cover of this issue says it all - Sodam Yat is back! He gets a major development in this issue but it pretty much doesn't meet up with the what the cover says.

Tomasi's work on "Green Lantern Corps" was really outstanding. But I gotta admit his work here is not that good compared to that. He gives most of the book to Guy Gardner, trying to make him likeable. But that's the downside of the book, sadly.
