Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

I was looking forward to this series ever since it was announced in what seems like ages ago and the disappointment that was the feature film only served to fan those flames of excitement. I really wanted the Green Lantern franchise to redeem itself in the eyes of the general public because it’s a great [...]

I’ve had the line art for this done for over 3 months and I tried to color it once or twice during that time but today, finally, I woke up and said “this is the day that I finish this” so here it is. First things first: I based this piece on the cover to [...]

About a year ago, I saw the Clash of the Titans remake, thought it to be terrible and decided to write a review of it. I set up a post (header image and all) but days quickly turned into weeks and I never actually wrote more than a few words on my draft. After finally [...]

I was tempted to make a trip to see the new Harry Potter movie (a series a have little interest in) just to catch the above trailer. That’s how much I’m looking forward to this movie and said trailer, released yesterday, is just adding to that excitement. The short glimpses we get of Sinestro, Tomar-Re and [...]

Warner Bros. released some concept art of Oa from the “Green Lantern” movie and it’s looking pretty awesome. I got all ticklish when I saw the Green Lantern logo in those pillars (tombstones?) above. We’ve seen bits and pieces of the movie so far and I’ve been going back and forth on a lot of [...]

Blackest Night wrapped up this week with issue #8 and there are many things to talk about for sure. In my first BN Report, which I did around the time Blackest Night #4 came out, I broke down the three series I was following (Blackest Night, Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps) individually but, since [...]

UPDATE: Finished illustration can be found here. One of the cool things about Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern epic is thinking about which power ring would go to which character. But let me start at the beginning before I continue. Before, there was only the Green Lantern Corps and they wore a green ring powered by [...]

We’ve reached the halfway mark in Blackest Night with issue #4 this week and I feel compelled to write about my general thoughts on the series thus far. I’ve only been actively following Blackest Night itself, Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps so I can’t comment on the tie-ins though I hear they are rather [...]

Wednesday Comics, brainchild of Mark Chiarello, is a weekly collection of 15 strips starring various DC characters presented in 20” x 14” newsprint pages and it has finally reached its conclusion after its intended three months in publication. I hesitate to call it a comics “experiment” because, as many have pointed out, the project draws [...]

It looks like Green Lantern: Rebirth is getting the Absolute treatment next year. For many reasons (shelf space and price chief amongst them) I’ve been very judicious as to which books I buy in the oversized Absolute format. So far, Watchmen has been my one and only Absolute purchase, though I’ve considered getting Absolute Kingdom [...]
