Secret origins for everyone!

This use to be the worst Batgirl that I knew of. But Adam Beechen has officially changed that forever. His new six part run of Batgirl, is easily the worst comic book I have read in recent history. If this can possible be spoiled for you then don’t read the rest of this post.

*Spoiler Alert!*

Issue five begins with Cassandra Cain stealing a plane from the Batcave, Nightwing tells her not to, jumps on the wing as it goes up, sticks a tracer on one of Batmans planes, and then parachutes off.

Scene two: Batman and Robin are in another plane chasing her, telling her to land, Cassandra Cain the martial artist does a smooth sky U-turn out manuvering Batman, getting on his flank and then shooting him down. She is so precise that she intentionally doesn’t kill them and forces them into chaseing her on dune buggys.

I don’t think I have anymore to say about it. The whole issue is exactly that bad. She finally meets up with David Cain at the end and he mysteriously reminds me of the noid. So what I’m trying to say is that the pencils in the book suck as well. J.Calafiore is definitely going on my “try to avoid” list.

The next issue is promising a “surprise ending!!” with two exclamation points!! I think you guys might see where I am going with this, but I’ll say it anyway. The only thing that could surprise me in the last issue is if it were good. And unless Adam Beechen is pulling a prank as large as the Y2K blackout theory, I don’t think that’s going to happen.  0 out of 3159 stars (my lowest ranking ever!!)

I would rather have my own robot mother give Hollywood Hulk Hogan  hot mouth sex, than read the last part of this series! -Slugtron

Newsarama has posted a few good pictures from the set of Kick Ass, which is of course the movie based on the graphic novel of the same name. We have given all the issues of Kick Ass, by the awesome Mark Millar, rave reviews and I hope the movie lives up to the high expectations! Check out the article and pictures here!

Check out the awesomeness that is the new Watchmen trailer over at Yahoo!Movies!

I just checked it out a few times myself and I am getting more and more excited about this movie. I really think this is going to be well done, and while no movie could ever be as good as the Graphic Novel itself I still think it will be Goddamned awesome!

Check. It. Out.

This annual shows all of the reasons you should be reading Ultimate Spider-Man. Bendis takes his writing seriously, and he tries to give the me honest portrayal of Spider-Man and Peter Parker. As well as everyone else in the book.

Peter has got a pretty great understanding about responsibility. But with that in his back pocket, how does he approach other teenage problems besides homework and curfews. Such as all those hormones raging in his system. Peter and MJ have been through life and death situations, why wouldn’t they eventually approach the subject of sex? To find out you should pick up the issue.

Ghostbusters The Other Side #2
Of course I’m picking this up, but even if you aren’t a Ghosthead, this is worth a read. The first issue ended with all of them being murdered by mobster phantasms.

Amazing Spider-Man #577
I never thought I’d say this, but ASM has been getting pretty good. It is pretty fun getting 3 issues a month that spin lots of different plots and side plots.

Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #4
I know its not a girl book, but it basically is. So sue me, I still like it.

Walking Dead #54
More fucked up stuff happens to Rick.

If I missed something worth picking up, let me know.

Well the awesomeness that will be the next few years of Marvel films has found a director for First Avenger: Captain America. Joe Johnston has been recruited to direct the film which is set to release on May 6, 2011. There aren’t any writers yet but they expect to hire some soon.

But who is Joe Johnston and why is this good?

“This is a guy who designed the vehicles for ‘Star Wars,’ who storyboarded the convoy action sequence for ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark,’ ” Feige said. “From ‘Rocketeer’ to ‘October Sky’ to ‘The Wolfman,’ you can look at pieces of his movies and see how they lead to this one.”

What else has Johnston done? Well the guy directed Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. That alone should be enough to sell you on him being a bad ass. But if you want more he also directed The Rocketeer, Jumanji, October Sky, and Hidalgo.  If you want more on the story follow the link over to Hollywoodreporter.com

EDITORS NOTE: And let’s not forget that he was responsible for this:
