so i have been biased about my opinions regarding this film but whoa! this is enough to make me at least anticipate it a little. i was right not to have seen the jialat version of the movie. and from my friends who watched it, they said that story-wise, it was merely so-so (afterall, what else can they judge? graphics?)
and i guess i ll just expect a helluva rollercoaster ride from the good ol runt!
and as reminded by MSN for no apparent reason, X-men Origins: Wolverine hits theatres next thursday!
Scott Pilgrim Vs the World movie site is up!!! WHOOP DEE DOO! yes, please keep a look out for this awesome movie that is due for greatness despite not having even making past the production stage. yet.
site has nothing of importance there really. but the cool fact that its up is something to squeal at.
and as always, check out edgar wright here (or edgar wrigh there) for the directors daily updates. and RADIOMARU, bryan O malley, the creator's site.
so marvel turns 70 this year and the have this Marvel's top 70 thingy, which you can vote for your favourite character/ comic cover/ bla bla bla.
but for me the really cool thing about the site is the daily random facts thingamajig which they call, the FACTUM FACTORUM!!!!
heres some random trivia for the month of april:
Robert Downey Jr. better known as Tony Stark who is even better know as IRON MAN, has his birthday on April 4th
Jeniffer Garner, AKA Elektra in both films, Daredevil and Elektra has her birthday (the original one, not the brought back to life ones) on April 17th!
Jessica Alba, the stripping invisible woman, was born on April 28!
are you freaking kidding me, three superheroes to make the big screen born within the same month. its like the babies born in the month of April has this strong connection to comics. random randomness!

Marvel's create your own superhero site has been nominated for the 09's webby awards. the webby is an award for cool things on the web. hence, webby. just like the home world of the skrulls is skrullos. very imaginative.
and they need your votes to get it. and you can do so by:
1. Visit http://pv.webbyawards.com 2. Please note that you will have to register before you can vote. 3. When you get to the voting page, navigate to “Living” > then “Youth” to find 360i/Marvel.
Marvel states that since Spiderman is their no1 character, its only fitting they deserve the webby. well, we'll know soon enough since their results are usually mid-year.
Heres my superhero bitches! the DoucheyMoneyBaggs!!

so it seems i have been mispronouncing Namor all the while. like who would know its "Neigh-more"? i've always called him Nah more! seems more garang that way! Imperius Rex!!!
and the galactus bust is freaking awesome! basically, anything you do with galactus is always awesome. god bless you, jack kirby! its a whopping 2 feet! and comes with Silver Surfer for you to toss around, which is great since you cant do anything with the galactus bust but just to stare at it.
and lastly, the hot toys toys are incredible. i love the detail that goes into them. Its amazing what simple LEDs can do to make toys seem all the more realistic! love the robert downey likeness. they should do one with him in his singlet and with his metal heart thingy! so we can happily dissect him and see what really makes tony stark tick.
*Note, read the main story 1st. the tie ins show some stuff from the main that wouldn't make sense unless you read the main. cheers!
SECRET INVASION very messy fight scenes. lack of thrills and suspense. very bland. probably millions of skrulls died, but maybe hundreds of humans died? whoa. hows that for a war?
---
Captain Marvel a really bad way to kill off a dead character.
---
War Machine i have no idea how this led up to war machine having his own series. adi granov covers were a shitty prank to make me believe that this was gonna be awesome.
---
Home Invasion its a free webcomic. why even buy it other than to complete the spine picture thingy?
Black Panther a soldiers point of view in the battlefield. the best story you can get out of a war.
---
New Warriors who are these guys even? its sad to see jubilee find New Warriors as her elephant graveyard. And its not even a Secret Invasion tale.
---
X-Men the action packed book of the series! it even has more omph! than the main book. only pissing part was that they lied about wolverine!
---
Inhumans the search for black bolt begins. and kree n inhumans put aside their differences.
---
Who do you trust? one shot stories of Cap Marvel, Marvel Boy, Abigail Brand, Wonder Man and the Agents of Atlas. wordy iron man's summary of the skrulls and their activities. and a dossier on ALL the skrulls we know.. and some we dont. great, if u have time to kill.
---
Mighty Avengers Book 1 Marvel gets a healthy dose of new heroes in the form of the Howling Commandos! and Bendis plays fill in the blanks.
Spider-Man brand new day's mary jane, jackpot, has her story told. the backstory is more interesting than the original SI story.
---
Thor Marvel's Shazam pulling out all the stops against the skrull war. and manages to deliver a baby.
---
Mighty Avengers Book 2 like book 1, but one more time, with feeling. (i cheated, i read the hardcover for this.)
---
lesson learnt: Marvel are f***ers. Storyarcs and TPB are getting shorter for the same or increased price.
there are other SI titles not included here cos as when published, the titles are still in hardcover format and i havent had the chance to read them, though i ll follow them up in comics i read this week.
ever felt that you wanna share your thoughts on an awesome comic you just read. but no1 gives a rat's arse about your fantasy hulaballoo? well, this is a blog for singaporeans who want to have their say on the comic world, be it film adaptations or new publishing or even a game. whatever COMIC goes! other nationalities are welcome too.
