The Official Green Lantern Trailer!!!

Alright folks, the official GL trailer is out! I had posted a preview of the movie trailer yesterday and was a little bit skeptical about the costumes and everything, but after seeing this wonderful trailer, i think the costume would work and does make sense even without the white gloves.Yep, you heard it, I think the trailer is great and got me hyped up for next summer.

Ryan Reynolds looks good in the costume and he captures Hal Jordan's cockiness and over confidence. And Blake Lively looks gorgeous as Hal Jordan's love interest, Carol Ferris. Just gorgeous.

One thing of note though, it looks to me that the story is lighthearted based on the trailer, but hopefully I'm wrong. GL isn't supposed to be lighthearted.

But that's another story. So guys, go and check out the trailer and tell me what you think!

Leinil Yu and Gerry Alanguilan on Superman: Birthright

I have been reading comics for a long time now, and i just came by and re-read Mark Waid's Superman: Birthright (2004) - another origin tale for our Man of Steel, meant to the be official origin story, but was replaced by Geoff Johns' Superman: Secret Origin (2009). I won't review these one shot origin tales because you all know how Superman came to be and they get pretty boring sometimes.

Anyway, i didn't notice not until a couple of weeks that the artists behind the wonderful artwork of this comic book are Filipinos! I'm not talking about half-baked ones, but full-blooded pinoys! How could I miss their names at the cover the book!? I had to google their names and I was totally surprised. I thought Pinoy comic book artists didn't try to draw popular characters, especially my favorite.

Leinil Francis Yu served as the main artist and sketcher for the whole book, while Gerry Alanguilan inked the former's work and brought vibrance and life to it, making a spectacular one-shot epic that is considered to be one of the best Superman origin stories of all time. 

And be sure to check out their deviantART pages by clicking on their names above or a dose of mouthwatering art. These guys are incredible.

So kudos to all Pinoy comic book artists! Mabuhay kayo! 

I'll be leaving you with some panels from Superman: Birthright.

i missed them the first time lol)

 The iconic shirt-rip shot!


 Yu and Alanguilan did a great job on reimagining this
iconic helicopter scene from Superman: The Movie (video)

Of course no Superman comic book will be complete 
without a panel with Lois and Clark.




Green Lantern Movie - ET Preview

A sneak preview of the 2011 Green Lantern movie (courtesy of Entertainment Tonight) hit the web yesterday and quickly posted 900,000 + views. 

I'm seriously not excited about the fact that the Green Lantern uniform is entirely in CGI, and that they didn't use the white gloves this time. I looks like the symbiote that possessed Peter Parker in the Spiderman movies... only in green. 

The preview certainly didn't showcase this classic GL costume

Hope this is just a crappy preview and hopefully they will change it before releasing the movie.

More of The Walking Dead!!! + Links for Issues 1-50



All right, i'm still on my reading journey. Currently finished issue # 30 and the story just gets better and better... Its fucking crazy! I mean, everything is a mess sometimes (and I meant messy in a good way), and then you flip the next page, you get to see something violent and sick. You just won't know what you'll get from this comic, and I effin' love it. 

And I just get to see one of the greatest comic book villains of all time in just 2 issues down the end of number 30. That character is just so damn great. Makes the story more interesting and unpredictable.

For the mean time, I'll grant the request of the people who wanted me to post some links for this great read, and I got 'em! Yey! *claps* Unfortunately, its just issues 1-50 for the mean time since I can't find a collection of issues 51-75 or whatever the last issue number is, but I think these links will do for the moment Thanks to the original scanloaders for their efforts and giving us a FREE effin' read. Woohooo! Enjoy!
