Comic Panel of the Week: Batman versus The Hulk

When you thought Batman wasn't badass enough.

Sonic the Hedgehog #52 Review

Today I'm going to look at something different. If your a gamer you probably heard of Sonic the Hedgehog. The original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Genesis was the first game I ever played. So without further delay let's take a look at Sonic the Hedgehog #52. The cover is good, it has a Noir feeling to it and it suits the theme of the comic. The comic opens with Sonic and Tails running around. They stop when they see a floating Leisure Suit. Random.

Sonic decides to chase after the suit, which lead him into cave. The cave transports him into another dimension where everything is drawn like a 50's Noir movie, and Sonic is a detective. This makes my brain hurt, what was the leisure suit, why is everything Noir all of a sudden, and why is Sonic a detective. Anyway Detective Sonic is waiting for someone in a dance hall. It turns out the person he's waiting for is Sally, who wants him to locate her "friend" Nicole who knows how to stop Robotnik from turning people into robots. Sonic excepts, and runs to find Nicole.

Sonic finds a abandoned factory, it has robot oil in it so Sonic suspects Robotnik. Sonic talk's to his Uncle Chuck through a wrist watch communicator, and asks if there are any robots around. There are four, and Sonic goes looking for them. He finds them, and two of them look pretty familiar don't they:

It's Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000. This is something else Archie's Sonic Comics likes to do,put cameos in the background. Anyway Sonic easily beats three of them, and only Crow remains. Sonic takes something from Crow which distracts him and he flies into a building. The thing Sonic took from Crow was Sally's "friend" Nicole which turns out to be a hand-held computer. Sonic returns the computer to Sally but Robotnik has found them.

Robotnik reveals that Sally is the "Princess" of the rebellion, and the computer has information that could defeat him. Robotnik is about to finish them but Sonic uses a power ring to super speed away with Sally. Robotnik leaves to go after them but they where really hiding under a table. Sonic arranges for a plane to take Sally to safety, and she asks him if he wants to join the rebellion. At first he disagrees but excepts after he realizes together they could stop Robotnik once and for all. The comic ends with Sonic going back to his dimension not understanding what just happened.

This comic is good but a bit confusing. I like the 50's Noir feel of everything, and the story wasn't the worst. Out of all the classic Sonic comics I read this one is probably one of the best. The story's now are much better, and I do recommend them if your a fan of the Sonic games. I would love to review another one in the future.

Comic Panel of the Week: Doctor Strangefate

The name is stupid, but the character is bad ass.

My Opinion on Megaman Legends 3 Being Cancelled

 















Originally I wasn't going to talk about this, especially since this is a blog for comic books but this is just ridiculous. First off, Capcom you can go to hell. You think that there's not enough interest in this franchise, tell that to the Megaman fans the people that signed a petition so that a game that should of been made 10 years ago gets made. What? Did you run out of money making 100 variations of all your fighting games. Maybe it was so you can remake Dead Rising 2 but instead of playing as Chuck you get to play as Frank West.

Megaman Legends 3 was one of the only reasons I was going to buy a 3DS, so the only reason I will buy one is if they remake Majora's Mask for the 3DS. I'm done with Capcom. I feel bad for every fan who's hopes have just been shattered, and for the people who donated such amazing designs. They could of at least released the demo. I'm going to go play Megaman 64, and watch as Capcom loses what little fans they have left.

Capcom you FAIL.

"Captain America" First Thoughts

This movie is pretty good. Compared to the other 3 Captain America movies this is great, but it does have it's flaws. For starters the costume, he wears 3. The first one is basically a cheap version of his comic costume I liked it but it wasn't the best, the second costume is a jacket over the first costume with a helmet and goggles, and the last is the costume on the poster. It looks like the ultimate version of Captain America, it's not bad but the face looks weird and I preferred the second costume.

 Even though it was good it seemed a bit rushed, and I thought it could of been longer. Overall though it a enjoyable movie, now the next marvel movies coming out are the Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man so I'll see you then.

Rating: 3.5/5

My Opinion on The Return of Cable

This could be a good or a bad thing. On the one hand it could be well written, but it's written by Jeph Loeb and his track record with Marvel Books hasn't been that great. With comics like Ultimates 3, and Ultimatum it could be bad but then again he also wrote Hush and The Long Halloween. So once again it could be great or it could be crap.

It's stuff like this that makes me think there's a conspiracy to bring back the 90's. Cable's coming back, and Rob Liefeld is drawing Hawk and Dove. Liefeld also thinks Hawk is like a mix between the Hulk and Wolverine. Anyway that's my opinion on the return of Cable.

X-Force #11 Review

Today where going to go back, and look at the horror that is 90's X-men. You may remember my review of "Uncanny X-men #329" while that was a bad comic it's nothing compared to the X-Force. So without further adieu, let's take a look at X-Force #11.

The cover is bad. It suggests that Deadpool is in a fight with Domino and Shatterstar but the way it's drawn with Domino in the background it just looks like Deadpool is attacking something off panel and to the right. Anyway the comic opens with the X-force going underground to confront the Morlocks. Cable tells them that there leader has fallen, and they better not attack them again. When then cut to the X-force's base where Shatterstar is training. Deadpool is watching, planing his attack.

Deadpool charges in, and easily beats Shatterstar. He then continues his search for Domino. In a latter comic Domino is revealed to be Copycat in disguise who infiltrated the X-force for Mr.Tolliver. Deadpool, and Copycat also use to go out. Back to the comic, Deadpool finds Domino in the computer room. They fight while Deadpool asks why she hasn't reported in a long time.

Deadpool asks her if she's fallen for Cable, but Domino has had enough but Deadpool beats her.Instead of killing her he let's her live, telling her to make sure he dosen't have to come back again. We cut to a S.H.E.I.L.D. helicarrier where  Bridge and Kane are arguing about what Cable's plan's are. Kane says he's going to bring Cable down and in a two page spread he has assembled a new team called Weapon: P.R.I.M.E.





























 This is where the art is really bad, Kane's body look like it's twisted around. Anyway the team consists of Kane, the Wendigo, what looks to be a random biker, and is that the White Dino Ranger.

 Wow Liefeld has managed to copy a character that wasn't even created yet. Anyway, the comic ends with Mr.Tolliver revealing that he has the "real" Domino trapped in his basement. 

This comic isn't that good. The art is bad, the character motivations only make sense latter on. The fight scenes are dull. The only good thing about this comic is Deadpool.

Rating: 2/5

Sorry there weren't many page's from the comic. Older comics are harder to find scans for.
