BOOYAHHHHH!!!

Now if I could just get a live action GI JOE Movie, my life would be complete and I could die a happy geek.

But only if I got to play Cobra Commander!

HAIL COBRA!

Is anyone else reading what could be described as one of the best Marvel Space Epics EVER?

At first I was on the fence with this one. There was no doubt in my mind about whether or not I would be buying it and all of it's mini-series' and core book, but I was unsure of the art and some of the characters. The art in SuperSkrull definitely grew on me, and what happened in the Silver Surfer mini blew me away while sending a chill down my spine at the same time. Keith Giffen is doing a Marvelous job with this story, and he's using one of my favorite villains as the major antagonist. This book isn't for everybody, though, as I realize that people can get too lost in the weird alien names and space jargan. It's hit the spot for me, though, and I recommend this to anyone who has even the slightest hankering for the cosmic.

Glenn is going to shoot me, I know it.

I just finished reading Kingdom Come... for the first time EVER!

(runs in the corner and cowers in fear). yes yes, I know. It's been in a huge stack of stuff that TMT had for me to read (along with Marvels, Earth X and The Watchmen).

I know this is like talking about a movie that came out ten years ago that you are just seeing for the first time, so bear with me.

I've always adored Alex Ross's artwork. It's beautiful and moving. I was blown away by Kingdom Come. We all know that I think Mark Waid walks on water (as evident from my FF raves about him)... I can't believe I'm just now reading this. I almost feel ashamed of myself for waiting for so long.

Beautiful women, beautiful battles, and some Nazi whupping-- it's all in Ape Entertainment's "Athena Voltaire: Flight Of The Falcon." CBR News has an exclusive preview of the second issue.
