Marvel Comics February 2009 Solicits – Siege

Siege (Marvel Comics) February 2009 Solicits

Siege Event - Fall of Asgard

I am so excited about Siege. It is the only event that will feature the Thor and ultimately the fall of Asgard. Add in the Dark Avengers (to be honest I’m only excited about more Thor and Ares interaction) and the New Avengers and you’ve got me hook, line, and sinker.

Besides Siege’s focus on Thor, the Cabal, and the Dark Avengers (I think the cover for Dark Avengers 14 confirmed Sentry’s death), I’m really looking forward to Secret Warriors and Guardian of the Galaxy (Yah for evil Adam Warlock).

Beyoncé & Lady Gaga – Video Phone (Full Video)

Alternate link – Beyonce – Video Phone (Featuring Lady Gaga)

I’m usually not a fan of pop music but in the last few weeks  I’ve completely falling in love with the magically queer Lady Gaga. Beyonce has always been a secret favorite of mine but Lady Gaga’s freakish nature and overly dragginess has made me a fan of her (her music is still another story completely).

My only problem with this video is the lack of video phoneiness and a cohesive idea – it just seems really random and not the usual Lady Gaga randominess.

Also despite what people say I still believe Lady Gaga’s got both. I think this image proves my point:

Lady Gaga looks like a Hermaphrodite

Precious – A Movie Review

"Precious." I boosted this from @Biglilkim (love ya girl)

Based on a novel by African American writer, Sapphire, Precious is the story of an obese (she is verging on being notoriously B.I.G.), illiterate (Fantastia could probably help her out with that) sixteen year black girl from Harlem (NEW YORK STAND UP!). It was originally going to be called “Push” but that really bad psychic movie came out starring Chris Evan first (don’t act like you didn’t see that shitty movie because you know you did. Just wanting to see him without his shirt off. Oh wait, that was me…)

Thor Battles the Dark Avengers in Siege

Dark Avengers Vs Thor

I love this images even though I’m confused as to why Ares is blacked out (unfinished?). Anyway Simone Bianchi keeps proving to me I underestimated his art when I first saw it. Regardless Siege has my full attention (something Blackest Night and Nerchosa have both lost) and I’m looking forward to the Avenger related titles in 2010. Bendis has promised major changes and after his work on House of M, Civil War (with Millar), Secret Invasion, and Dark Reign I actually believe him.

Astonishing X-Men Episode #1: Gifted on Hulu

Astonishing X-Men on Hulu.com

Well the long awaited Astonishing X-Men motion comic is now available on Hulu.com. I have to say I hated the way some scene were animated and voice actors but over all it was really good.

HIWAINARU FANTASY XIII

Final Fantasy XIII – Hiawainaru Fantasy XIII

Not Safe for Work or Minors

I hate hentai but I did find something recently that has not only brought me hours of laughter but has also peaked my interest in Final Fantasy XIII’s main character – Lightning.

Simone Bianchi’s Thor: Defining Moments Giant Size Cover

I have to say I wasn’t original a fan of Simone Bianchi’s Heavy Metal influenced work but I’ve been really falling in love with his work lately. I think truthfully I hated his redesigns of the Astonishing X-Men’s costumes for his run with Warren Ellis but the way he rendered this image of Thor moves me a little. I really want to see what his Iron Man looks like after seeing his Thor and Captain America.

DC Comics: Milestone Forever

Milestone Forever

McDuffie will team with John Paul Leon, Mark Bright, Chris Cross and Denys Cowan to wrap up the stories from Hardware, Icon, Shadow Cabinet, Blood Syndicate and Static. I figured we were well past ever seeing these characters again in their original environment, so this is welcome news, even if it is “a bittersweet tale that chronicles the literal end of a universe.”

What is Milestone Comics?

Milestone Comics was DC Comics answer to multiple cries of everyone one on DC Earth being white or black folks with “Black” in their name. Here’s what Wiki says:

Milestone Media is a company best known for creating the Milestone comics imprint (that was published through DC Comics) and the Static Shock cartoon series. It was founded in 1993 by a coalition of African-American artists and writers (namely Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Michael Davis and Derek T. Dingle) who believed that minorities were severely underrepresented in American comics. Milestone Media was their attempt to correct this imbalance.
Christopher Priest participated in the early planning stages of Milestone Media, and was originally slated to become the editor-in-chief of the new company, but bowed out for personal reasons before any of Milestone’s titles were published.

Who Dat?

The major heroes of this world were Icon (black slave Superman – I’m not kidding he was like a black slave who became a “Superman”) and his sidekick Rocket (pregnant black teen who had inertia powers because of a black slave Superman’s alien belt) , the ever popular Static (I loved his hard Static was but that damn cartoon ruined him for me forever), and the lesser known Hardware ( I have no clue who this nigga is but I guess a black Iron Man).

Oh if you didn’t believe me about DC Comics being sort of racist or ignorant with black characters and readers, check out this DC comics questionnaire for the 70’s!

I’m offended that “Black People” were below Pollution but I have to give them props – it only took them 25 years to printing Milestone Comics but they still refuse to give Black Lighting, Black Racer, Black Manta, and Black Bomber, Black Vulcan, and my favorite Black Cyborg. Oh wait he wasn’t called “Black Cyborg” he was just black.
