Frankenstorm Vs Halloween

Hows that for a Syfy Saturday Night title? Throw in NJ and you've got gold! Suffice to say, my birthplace of New York and my adopted home town of New Jersey has gotten its collective ass kicked by mother nature and just as we are picking up the pieces, I hear another storm is on the way. I'm currently soaking up the electricity at my Mom's place; a mere 10 minutes from my own dark home. There was no telling when my power would return and when I heard she had power..well..let's just say she would have had to have beaten me at the door with a broom stick to stop me from dropping in. We'd heard power was being restored to the south and as it moved up rt.35 it lit up Red Bank, then Freehold, then Hazlet...then skipped right over us and landed on Rahway.

X-Men with Googly Eyes

Oh thank you, internets. Now I know what to do with my chrome covered variants the world once coveted and now shuns, banishing them to the 50 cent bin, only to be rescued by me like some shivering puppy looking up at me soulfully as Sarah McLaughlin music plays somewhere in the distance. My world of mutants shall now have googly eyes and be gifted to future generations.













You get the picture..and now you want moooore...and also you see your comic collection differently. Oh..the possibilities.

The Black Panther Animated Series ...Or Motion Comic?

Maybe a little bit of both? Either way, the title kind of sucks. Would they call a Spider-Man project Spider-Man: I Am The Spider-Man? No. It sounds dumb. Rant over.

I tend to hate motion comics as it allows companies to crank out comic adaptations with very little real movement in the characters and action and sub-par voice acting slapped onto it. I'm still asking people when Spider-Woman turned into a Brit. Now, it seems, the Black Panther animated series is seeing the light of day in the states, minus all the fanfare of being the first positive role model for African American children in this medium. Sorry..I guess Cage, Black Falcon, Jon Stewart Green Lantern, Black Lightnting, Firestorm, Steel, Brother Voodoo, Storm, Vixen, War Machine, Blade, Spawn, Shadow Man, Goliath, Static Shock, Bishop, Omega Man, Mace Windu, etc, do not count. Ahhh..the hype machine. It also seems they are now calling it a motion comic, when in all actuality, it probably falls somewhere in between motion comic and full on animated series. Whatever they'd like to call it, it looks like one hell of a ride! Take a look...

Marvel Knights Animation is proud to announce Black Panther: Who Is The Black Panther?, a twelve-episode, weekly, all-new series debuting on iTunes, Xbox LIVE, Microsoft Zune and PlayStation®Network on June 23rd.

Inspired by the acclaimed graphic novel from respected filmmaker/producer Reginald Hudlin and legendary comic book artist John Romita Jr, Black Panther: Who Is The Black Panther? introduces viewers to the Black Panther, the warrior king of Wakanda, a technologically advanced nation in the heart of Africa. As outside forces conspire to plunder this proud nation, the Black Panther will face his greatest threats as he meets Klaw, the man who murdered his father.

“The positive responses to news of the show have been so overwhelming, it’s great to finally make the Black Panther series available to everyone,” said Hudlin. “Audiences get caught up on many levels – seeing John Romita Jr’s art come to life; the quality of the voice work by an award winning cast; the boldness of the politics, the music and humor. But see it for yourself!”

Romita Jr added, “The reaction by any person, upon viewing footage of a black panther, is universal: Awe. There is no more elegant a creature on the face of the planet. The creation of the character by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, in a turbulent political time, maintained that quality. Reggie Hudlin's updated version follows that and adds an amazing, cinematic flair to it. In my opinion, reading, and now viewing, the Black Panther series is much akin to witnessing a panther in person. Enjoy the elegance of the story, the elegance of the actors, their voices, their words, and....the imagery.”

This exciting series also features the voices of major celebrities including Academy Award-nominee Djimon Hounsou as Black Panther; Jill Scott as Storm, Kerry Washington as Princess Shuri; Alfre Woodard as both Dondi Reese and Queen Mother; Carl Lumbly as Uncle S’Yan; and comics legend Stan Lee in a special role.

New Marvel Universe Pics

I'll get the moaning out of the way first. OH GOD WHYYYYY CAN'T WE GET NEW MARVEL LEGENDS FIGURES??!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

It really is sad...and I know it's sad...but I love the 6 inch figures so. I finally found Dum Dum Dugan the other day and almost cried in the middle of Times Square Toys R Us. Hasbro must deny me, like a super hot starlet who refuses to show off her goods. Our meeting at this year's Toyfair should be comical if they've been reading this blog.

At any rate, we told you about wave 3 and 4 of the Marvel Universe Secret Wars 2 packs HERE. We were only able to show you half the pictures then. NOW, we've got the rest. Check out Absorbing Man (with a lil tiny Wasp) & Dr. Doom, Thing and Bulldozer and Mohawk Storm and Nightcrawler. Click to make with the biggie.















We also thought we'd show off the newest characters to grace the abysmal 4 inch Spider-Man line. I'm refraining from posting half a dozen pictures of Spider-Man in his swim trunks, samurai gear, electrician's gauntlets and bee keepers getup. The funny thing is, if Hasbro would paint Spider-Man in his classic outfit choices under all that silly armor instead of these suits they are making up, I'd probably be out to buy them. Here's Rhino, Doc Ock in two awesome outfits and Hobgoblin. Rhino and Reg Armed Ock appear in series 2 while Hobgoblin and dayglo armed Ock will come in series 3. Welcome back, 90's.
