DVD of the Month

Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme. Pretty much the best animated movie so far to come out of Marvel Animated Features. Starting from the beginning of Dr Strange's tale, where he was a gifted surgeon, being in an accident that damaged his surgical hands, searching for a cure and then becoming the Sorcerer Supreme. Four out of five spuds!

 

Graffiti artists don't seem to gear up like they should any more. Bright fluoros vests and bells around their necks with socks that pull up all the way to their knees. That might be another form of expression. Of course, showing the world bad handwriting, calling it tagging and labeling it an artistic form of expression makes all those signed documents a series of collectible sets then, right?

Someone is gift-wrapping super-villains for the police. Someone is defacing Superhuman Registration posters. Someone is raising eyebrows all around town -- from City Hall to Tony Stark's war chamber. And the only clue to their identity? Two spray-painted letters: N.W.

Who are these mysterious young upstarts that have dared to fight the powers-that-be? And what do they want from a de-powered mutant named Sofia?

Are the New Warriors truly back from the dead? Or has something new risen from the ashes of Stamford?

New Warriors #1

Warren Ellis and Juan Jose Ryp trip it up with Black Summer #0. Starts of low and a quick with a lead as things go hitting the fan with super heroes and villains and it turns out standing in the cold night air forever leaves the fingers paralysed.

Ron Marz and Adriana Melo take one shot in Witchblade/Punisher. Justice beckons with many calls, and the legend, the myth of the Punisher seems questionable to a woman who walks about in a living bikini armour. Watch for The Punisher at the end of Spider-Man 2 as Mary Jane is running through the park. Pause a split second.

Transformers: Movie Prequel from Kris Oprisko and Alex Milne runs at a shot with the four doors on the car and who really counts the boot as a legitimate door anyway?

Zeb Wells and Carmine Di Giandomenico jump back into the ring for the old man of the red blind man in Daredevil: Battlin' Jack Murdock. Just where and why did DD's father get his name? Not from a baby book for newly made parents perhaps.

Quarter decks on the landing and there's one more back story as Rick Rememder, Tony Moore and Andre Parks visit Fear Agent: The Last Goodbye. One who knows shows the others, and kicks it like a licking brick.

 

Not like body image isn't an issue with a lot of teens and adults from the physiques they see staring back at them from the covers and pages of magazines. If chicken fillets are for woman, then surely steaks are for the males.

Both, if defrosted well and long enough from the chests, will provide a nice dinner time meal as the day draws close. It's more than just looking good, it's eating good too.

Other things to do with chest enhancement modules when the day is done: feeding said fillets and steaks to the pets as they wait for you to come home. Fish might have trouble digesting, as well as spiders.

For the more insect driven folks, a nice solid attractant for maggots and blow flies when cast out over the mailbox in the back yard. Yes, some people have mail boxes in their back yards.

Not every one will have the need for chest implants though. Some just wear suits with enough padding left over from the shoulders of the 1980s to make do without the meat.

 

Shirts off and start the quick hand gestures. Kung fu is a serious work out that tears seams it seems in the clothes and standing. Ultimate player hater stand, the martial arts with a focus on the hands is the high point of cutting down a situation. Far more powerful than snapping and clicking the fingers in a Z.

Oh, no you didn't...

Many years ago, in the mystical city of Kun' Lun, young Danny Rand stared at a suit behind glass -- the garb of "the Immortal Iron Fist" -- and knew that he was destined to wear it. But where did this costume come from? Why did it wait for Danny all those years like a shadow of his future?

The answer to those questions will stun both him and his readers, as Danny Rand leaps from the pages of his breakout hit in DAREDEVIL to his own series - a history-spanning kung-fu epic that will shatter every perception of what it means to be the Immortal Iron Fist!

Brought to you by top-ten writer Ed Brubaker and breakout talent Matt Fraction (Punisher War Journal), with action-packed art by David Aja (Daredevil, Giant-Size Wolverine).

Immortal Iron Fist #1 from Marvel Comics

Jeph Loeb and Rob Liefeld mush back in time to bring out and with the return of the one, the only, mix of the mind between Professor X and Magneto in Onslaught
Reborn. A blast from the past made in five chunks of the Marvel rubble.

Rustle on the Japanese and Korean horror to mix well with Mike Carey, Jim Fern and Rob Hunter in a new ongoing known as Crossing Midnight. From Vertigo, a series on the horror/fantasy/mythology section of the park.

Zombies. Swords. Red Sonja. Put them in a parody blender shaped like a coffin, churn up the pieces, resurrect the body and you have Dead Sonja: She Zombie With A Sword. A bent one-shot with fleshy bits from Blatant Comics.

Phase two of the saga continues with Transformers: Escalation. From the loins of Simon Furman and E.J. Su through the IDW Publishng bulb.

For the many and the few who chose to forgo collecting the back ups, Marvel have collected the appearance Ultimate Vision into an aptly titled Ultimate Vision #0. Just in time for the launch of the miniseries hitting next month.

Absolutely nothing to learn from reading a brief of Hero Street at Hero Street Press. Eric Miller, Federico Zumel and Chuck Bordell kicking down a door to revel in what could be a comedy. Or a thriller. Who knows, like licking the back of a coin.

Robots and zombies, you'd think the world had enough of these two. Can't be the case when it's a skeletal and fleshy hand versus a hook claw in Zombies Vs Robots. First half of the game with Ashley Wood calling the shots in the IDW ring.

Know what it's like to do nothing and be labelled a hero? Brian Pulido and Juan Jose Ryp take things down the slasher slick on a Mischief Night Special from Avatar Press. Two enter a mansion. Four walk around. Only one leaves.

Also in the fray of metal on metal action is Transformers: Timelines. Featuring the Beast Wars era, it's the tale to begin all tales. Of Transformer tales.

Flip a coin for the first of Guy Gardner: Collateral Damage from DC. Flip the coin again and get the other side the next month. Barring probability tilting back into the same side. In which case, find something else to tell the months apart. Howard Chaykin is holding this ring.

 

Take it ready to roll, and here it goes, one from another page jumping into her own...

Roaring out of the pages of Daredevil, the new White Tiger makes a ferocious debut, courtesy of the dynamic scripting of NY Times best-selling fantasy author Tamora Pierce (Trickster's Queen, The Will of the Empress) and masterful penciling of rising star Phil Briones (La Geste des Chevaliers-Dragons, Les Seigneurs d'Agartha).

Angela del Toro knows pain: Her uncle Hector Ayala, the former White Tiger, killed. Her FBI partner, murdered. Her career, ruined. Her mentor, Matt Murdock, jailed. And the hurt is just beginning....The Yakuza's bloodthirsty Sano Orii returns, a genocidal shadow organization appears, and a new-but-old super-powered madman is looking to put the squeeze on White Tiger.

Armed with mystical amulets---and finally in costume---White Tiger demands answers! But will she survive long enough to ask the right questions?

White Tiger #1 from Marvel Comics

Exclamation and question marks abound as Josh Blaylock, Corey Zayatz and Joe Dodd reveal the mystery behind Zartan. A dissection made in three parts from Devil's Due Publishing in the form of G.I. Joe Dreadnoks: Declassified.

Guess who owns the rights to and writes on the bone for Warren Ellis Black Gas 2? From Avatar Press and with art by Max Fiumara, tried to figure out what it was from the preview pages, not a lick of a clue outside a mystery of some codger burning up a body on an island. Super fun happy time!

Dysfunction, a little rochambeau, death and cannibalism, it's fun for the whole family. Chris Reid and John Kantz go with the squish-squishy on Monkeybug Madness: Search For New Lifeforms from Antarctic Press.

Five snowflakes fall on the ground and Ron Marz and Luke Ross are back in the saddle with Samurai: Heaven And Earth Volume 2 from Dark Horse. Saddles, ronin, swords, get the moving on on from Japan to Paris... who can write with bloodshot eyes?

Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson continue the ride through in Astro City The Dark Age Book Two. What? Where? Wildstorm.

Take the current maligned of society and power thrust them into the populace. With an entire world thrown about the other way with mutants and super powered beings the norm, Jam Packed Productions squeeze the juice from Toney Tapia and Jamie Biggs. End result is The Super Naturals.

Dark Horse quarter splice it four ways with the adaptation of a game yet to release in Hellgate: London. Ian Edginton and Steve Pugh take things down town London way heading off the pass that the demon forces are looking to wager against the earth.

Wildstorm unleash the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in about the same time as the prequel hits the screens in Australia. Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Wesley Craig take a road trip into what little horror and psychopathic gems small-town America has to offer its victims/tourists.

 

The Man Without Fear, Daredevil (revealed to be lawyer Matt Murdock in a tabloid), joined millions of other pilgrims in the Vatican City when he arrived just in time to be too late to pay his respects to the late Pope John Paul II.

With no spare keys, or even an original set to provide access, Daredevil was left hanging out on a church spire. Eyeing the entrance for a possible opening, he is yet likely to make an entrance into the proceedings which have now entered the phase in which a new Pontiff will be elected by the Church.

Finding and contacting a Cardinal proved to be just as hard as breaking the barriers of human masses swarming the square during the days of mourning. Locking themselves in the conclave, the College of Cardinals have barred all communication with the outside world. This includes denying late attendees any chance to talk with them about Pope John Paul II's successor outside of the puffs of smoke.

It's not known quite how long the interregnum, or The Vacancy of the Holy See, will actually last for.

Pope John Paul II's crypt in Saint Peter's Basilica is expected to reopen to the public on Wednesday.
