speaking of walking dead, i heard they fired the entire writing team on the show. guess it was too different to the books
Funny they did that. From what I have been reading Episode 4 was all done by the writer of the comic book? I cant remember the Mexicans being in the comic that early. Even the creator of the book changed it from the comic series.

I might have to find the Walking Dead comics, me and DVS have just watched 5 episodes of the TV show ,its really good.
I recently read 'Crossed' its like a weird spin on zombie apocalypse where the zombies arent so much walking dead, as raving psychos that kill,rape and dismember everyone. its pretty harcore but well written.
Its by the Garth Ennis (Preacher, Hellblazer etc)
Sounds like a good spin.

Frank Darabot (Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile) is the main writer for the show and has advised that it will be in the same universe but a different story to the Comic. Characters and certain scenes will be in the show but will follow it's own road.
Also, most of those writers are also involved in other parts of the production so I think they come and go as writers to bounce ideas of Frank.
Yeh I heard that. First reaction was "hope this doesn't end up like Heroes."
Then I watched the IGN video announcing it, and they said the same thing lol.
I'm collecting The Walking Dead at the moment. Gooooood shit, and the show is just as good IMO.
I've read some of Crossed, but it wasn't from the beginning. Isn't it like, some sort of Satanic plague? Since they get that weird cross thing across their face?
I think it will be sweet as, especially with it being produced by AMC who seem to be doing an awesome job.
But again, please don't end up like heroes :'(
so i watched the scott pilgrim vs the world movie a few times, and really enjoyed it.
figured id try and read the source material again.
much easier to get into this time :)

bane and catwoman for 3rd batman movie.
http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/113998-anne-hathaway-to-play-selina-kyle-in-the-dark-knight-rises
Not sure about cat woman ive always thought she was a terrible character
Dont know about Anne Hathaway as cat women... Halle Berry would have been nice lol. Pretty sick they are putting bane in, Im ready to see the bat get his back broken. They aint putting robin in this are they?
Anne Hathaway would bee alright if she gains a little bit more meat and shows loads of tits like in love and other drugs.
Anne Hathaway? Aww mud. Wait a min. Aww Catwoman? Mud as.
I hope the guy who play Bane is 9 ft tall and has muscles on his muscles. Or else this will be shit. I hate it when the get puny guys to play muscular guys (no homo). Like that fag who played Venom on spiderman. Or the geek that played Goku and the rest of the DBZ cast were shit.
That batman movie with the terminator in it was the best cast ay. Everyone suited it so mint.
dude playing bane was in inception. his name is like tom hardy or something.
also dude who directed the wrestler and black swan is directing the new wolverine movie. it might not turn out shit :O
Why a new wolverine movie? Like... WHY?!?

That's Hugo Weaving ?
Fuck... What a beast
I've read & collected comics for years.. ALOT of early X-Men titles, The Ultimate Line, Preacher, Transmetropolitan etc. Basically anything by Mark Millar, Brian Michael Bendis, Warren Ellis or Garth Ennis. Haven't bought any in years thanks to the internet but definitely a comics fan Fo'Sho!

Nah, its me after losing to josh at marvel.
i guess this goes here, since there are comics of this. didnt know they were making a new one thoug :O
looks bad :(
That looks so faggy - needs more CGI Arnie
Is it a remake or a sequel? Either way it better have "Conan, What is best in life?"
" To crush your enemies, see them driven before you... and to hear the lamentation of their women!"
im sorry but i dont see the need for a remake of conan the arnie versions were already epic.
I agree. Cant be any better than those old ones.
bro, i still got some episodes recorded on tape straight off tv2 :D
I sprung a boner from seeing that intro again.
I still have VHS tapes with that shit on it too.
Just finished downloading 20 episodes of it now. Cant believe I dont have any tapes of it.

You know the drill, comic related news/movies/tv shows/releases whatever. Post it up
Good man.
Anyone watching the Young Justice TV Series? The fag Jesse McCartney does Robin's voice... But actually does a good job imo :D
Defeinitely enjoying this more than that Teen Titans series. I couldn't get into that at all.
a bunch of comic fags are hating on jesse mccartney playing robin, which i think is dumb. most probably just dislike him cause hes well, jess mccartney. i think they keep forgetting that robin is supposed to be like 12, so they want him sounding like james earl jones or some shit.

that red top aint doing her norks any favours either.
Wait a minute... Do we have 2 comic book threads?
this is the totally more awesome more inclusive comic thread where all comic book related things are welcome :P
Nope, ones for comic books, aka reading material.
This one is for shit happening in the comic world. TV Shows, Movies and other shit. Understand? ;)
Still think it would be better in one thread, honestly.
Yeah, I know but oh well.
Post comic reading material in here if you want. I don't really care.
kevin costner is pa kent in the new supes movie. and i think diane lane is ma kent.
http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/03/18/kevin-costner-zack-snyder-superman/
just hurry up and cast christina hendricks as lois lane already.
People really interested in the new superman or are they trying to get as many characters from the DC world mainstreamed so they can cash in on "TEAM SUPER HERO MOVIE!!!"?
marvel seems to the only one setting up their avengers movie.
i dont see much planned for a justice league movie, afaik the batman movies are self contained, and will probably be the same with this superman reboot. i mean, they need the big three if they want to consider a justice league movie and i doubt we're getting a wonder woman movie any time soon.
if i want to watch a movie about the justice league, ill watch one of the awesome animated ones.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Also would be terrible to see a Wonder Women at the movies in that horrible outfit.
I reckon the universe they've created with those Batman movies would be ruined by making some Justice League ones.
couldnt they have made a cooler helmet for mags?

Cool photo/poster. Movie looks like it could be cool too. Fuck that 3D shit though. Gives me a headache. :(
Why so dirty I ask?
Well I'm not sure how clean you would be on the front lines in a war but he doesn't look that dirty.
GRITTY AND REALISTIC
Yeah not comic booky enough. That's the main problem with comic book movies (in fact most movies) they think that by being gritty and realistic it some how rationalizes an adult watching the film. Like colour is somehow only for kids.
Found the cartoon that the X-men game was based on:

You can't compare The Watchmen and Sin City (graphic novel) to something comparatively shallow like Captain America. Not only do they have a definitive conclusion but they also stretch a long way from your typical comic book which I'm sure Simon was referring to. When in reference to how gritty and serious the movies are in relation to the original medium, Watchmen and Sin City were, and still have a far bigger emphasis on the humanity and development of the protagonists compared to your typical comic, especially their shallow origin stories.
Old shit like that Captain America makes me wanna puke. Looks so shit. And so old. Soo happy i never saw that shit.
in before 'bro don't say that about blah blah, i blah blah in my pants cos blah blah is cool.'
Sin City was awesome. SO was Watchmen.
I used to love that x men cartoon. I remember when it got up to Apocalypse. Fuck i wonder how they beat him. Was wayyy better than evolution. Evolution they was punks as kids hahaha. I wonder how they beat Apocalypse on that show too actually.
Never saw the Watchmen film but when there was all that Watchmen hooplah I ended up reading the comic. Really bloody enjoyable.
The Watchmen G novel is awesome. Movie was fail. Relied too much on boobies and random violence to carry it. Made it boring. Don't get me wrong, I love pointless explosions, and boobs, but you have to be going for one or the other in a movie. Not try and have deep and meaningful shit, and then LOL BOOBIES!! Doesn't work well in most cases.
I think the only thing they did well with in the movie was Rosrarch(spelling?).
SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING THAT IS IN ITALICS FOR FEAR OF SPOILERS:
I think they really fucked up the movie by not having the alien thingy in it. Making them blame it on Dr. Manhattan in the movie instead of on the Alien thingy really fucked it up. Changed the whole idea behind them rallying to a common cause and stuff, because why the fuck would Dr. M do that if he was gonna fuck off anyway?
Also, Veidt character was super fucked up in the movie. At the end of the film he seems stoked with what he has done, but in the comic book you are left knowing that he understands that for all his work that the human race are gonna fuck it up anyway, and that all his murdering and scheming was just a short fix for a problem that will never go away.

Actually no, I take that back. I think even Rosrarch was fail.
kinda hard to fit an epic like watchmen into a few hours.
best comic book movie in terms of remaining faithful to the source material is probably 300.

Its actually a different cartoon to the one Simon posted. But yea. Shit was awesome. The story in the one youre talking about Weazzy was fuckin balla.
yeah the one simon posted was a mini animated movie that cam out before the xmen series was released .
the voice actors suck but hot dang the animation in that is well above the xmen animated series .
magneto looks fucking boss and straight outa the arcade .
fuck that arcade was beast at rainbows end , 6 player madness , wasted all my tokens on that instead of the rides oh and the ninja turtle arcasde game too
I remember they had that xmen game at the broadway cinemas in newmarket. I spent more time on that than in the actual movies.
fuck, all i remember from the broadway cinemas was the simpsons beat 'em up. that game was awesome.
in other news, i guess this is marvels event thingy, fear itself. wonder who these three are, im guessing hulk, juggy and random spiky grey dude. grey gargoyle?
(http://i.imgur.com/rw2DS.jpg)
Man The Watchmen was so fucking boring. I tried watching it three times, and all three times I fell asleep. Sin City remains one of my favourite movies ever though.
I read the Fear Itself prologue. Didn't really give you much. It sounds cool though. I think there's going to be 7 Fear Itself issues? And it's gonna be tied into a whole lot of other comics as well. The first one is Thor, so that's prob why they got these Thor related dudes. Had some preview sketches. Pretty cool seeing Thor vs Odin.

Wow! This looks really cool! Very surprising direction for Marvel to go in. But good on them for doing so.
Is it just me or do they look like the geeky versions of themselves. Except the spikey guy looks cool.
Maybe cos that geeky Tron movie looked so geeky and they look like they are from it.

I bet you'd think MacGyver sucks and you'd have a point except that IT'S FUCKING MACGYVER AND HE'S BEAST. (i have DVD box set, LOL)

It's based of a comic richard so it's all good.
s'all good. its got me listed as topic creator when you split this from the old one ;D
Bro, the power of UMEHALA!!!!!!!
So long as it's a cartoon it's all good! ;D
so i been catching up on some batman, starting back from i think the end of infinite crisis? the one where bruce decides to go and shoot darkseid.
read battle for the cowl, enjoyed it enough. preferred the 'evil batman' running around since he looked much more imposing than any other one. also read the first 17 or so issues of streets of gotham and that story has some fucked up shit :/
think i need to read more batman, really enjoying it.
read the first book of the 'fear itself' event.
mean art, and the story got me kinda hype :O
The Prologue? It's awesome how ugly Red Skulls daughter is. Paper bag that shit and it'd be all good tho.
nah, she reminds me too much of jane doe from batman. not keen.
also this looks terrible. and awesome.
haha, thor fights like he does in mvc3.
totally shit :D
about as close as well get to an animated dark knight returns
shows what i know. apparently theyre working on the dark knight returns after this
QuoteWe reported last week in our DARK KNIGHT RETURNS article that BATMAN: YEAR ONE was being made by DC Animation for release later in the year. Well, Hollywood Reporter has exclusive additional information on the project, and right now it's sounding more and more impressive.
According to HR, we're getting a pretty terrific cast for the animated film - Bryan Cranston (BREAKING BAD) for Gordon, Ben McKenzie (SOUTHLAND) as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Eliza Dushku (BUFFY: THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) as Catwoman, and Katee Sackhoff (BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA) as Detective Sarah Essen.
Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's YEAR ONE is considered pretty much the definitive Batman origin story, and you can see its influences all over Christopher Nolan's films as well as the other animated Batman shows. It's beloved by Batman fans the world over, and considered one of Miller's best works. Bruce Timm, who executive produced, said, "The source material is surprisingly cinematic; it's a pretty straight forward literal retelling. Mazzucchelli's artwork is beautifully composed and we were able to refer to the comic for about 80 percent of the camera setups." So it's sounding like a very loyal interpretation of the source material, which should make fans very happy.
Something else that should make fans happy - it'll be PG-13, and it looks like it will be premiering at ComicCon in July before being released on DVD and Blu-Ray this fall. I'd imagine those tickets will be hot property this year.

I just lol at the fake cleavage in the first one.
this is pretty cool. a bunch of alt covers for various marvel comics that show the evolution of the x-men characters costumes.

Anyone reading the new Venom comics? It's pretty cool... Actiony and shit. Kinda been wanting some action the way Incredible Ironman's been going. Talkings cool, but I wanna see some action and shit. Also the next Fear Itself comes out in a week or so :D
read a bit of orc stain, kinda cool. art is weird and colourful as hell but i like it. everything is about their wangs tho :/ maybe one for bill.
read some irredeemable. basically their superman pastiche goes a bit crazy and fucks shit up. a bit kaka.
read some dead end. tis a manga and ugly as fuck but theres something really cool about it.
oh, watched the other DC showcase shorts. first one was the shazam one, which wasnt bad. the next three are green arrow, jonah hex and the spectre.
good action in green arrow, bit like die hard 2 cause its at the airport, jonah hex was pretty mature for an animated flick and the spectre was a bit bolo.
fear itself is getting pretty hype. a few more folks got themselves some hammers ;D :D
Is that the Marvel event going on atm samblack?
It is. The big one of this year I think.
It's Free Comic Book Day tomorrow.
I might head to Heroes for Sale and get a couple before work. If I cbf.
Why not put it in the comics thread? Heck I might as well.
I dunno. Didn't really wanna be the one to necropost I guess.

Fair enough. That's the way the world is. :D
Man the Spiderman Fear Itself tie in is really, really good. It's exactly what I imagined from Fear Itself, before it came out. Just read the second Fear Itself. It was ok. Kinda cool with all the randoms getting hammers, but it's not really 'fear-y'. Spiderman tie in, has all that societal break down stuff. Awesome.
man i read the fear itself spidey #1 book and thort it was kinda kaka and the artwork was really shit :-\
dont think i will read any more tho the actual fear itself books been good so far
Lol fair enough. But have you noticed there hasn't actually been any fear in the Fear Itself books? The whole story in the Spidey tie in was about fear, and all those people who are affected by it, and Spidey himself. I thought the story was really good. Though like you said, art was meh.
haha, wonder woman pilot wasnt green lit.
Shame, would have been shit anyway. Lol.
Never liked wonder women anyway... so shame.
read ultimatum.
what a piece of shit. lots of pointless deaths.
also read transmetropolitan and that thing is awesome. more of a super hero comics kinda guy but a balls to the wall psycho journalist is also very entertaining.
I've been reading Battle Angel Alita. 5 volumes into it now. loads more to go.
The art is amazing and I'm surprised at how good the story is too.
I watched the OAV a lot years ago but the comics make a lot more sense.
transmet is fantastic.

Has any read Akira? I read that a while ago from the library. One of the best reading experiences in my life.
Yeah i think I read 4 of the 6 Akira books from the library. I've watched the movie like 30 times since the 90's.
It really is an amazing comic. I ended up keeping it for too long and got a $70 library fine like a retard and couldn't get the rest of the books out.
I real all of Osamu Tezuka's 'Buddha' from the library. I thought it might be boring and preachy or something but it is just an amazingly well paced and interesting story. It's long, there's about 10 books or so. There is an anime being made for it, or maybe it's out already but the trailer didn't look very good at all.
here's a new action scene with Batman

Yeah I was the one that got those Buddha books into the library. I enjoyed them somewhat. But for some reason I can never really get into Tezuka's comics. I keep trying to force myself to like them cos he's the Grand Daddy of manga. But I dunno why I just can't.
Thanks for getting them in... you philistine.
Speaking of the library. That place really has an amazing selection of comics. Aside from their Marvel and DC selection they have choice stuff from Hernandez bros, Jim Woodring, Crumb etc. We are really very blessed.
Their manga collection is shit though.
they've got some stuff by Chris Ware too like Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth.
I went into the young adults section the other day and found out that's where they keep all the marvel collections and stuff. there's LOADS of it.
(we are talking about the wellington library aye? do you live in welly?)
Lol I don't think you guys are even talking about the same library, yet alone the same city.
Yeah nah, I was talking about the Auckland Library a. Awesome comics collection.
