Crappy A Reborn

cap is getting reborn. and he's getting the same writers who killed him off, to write his tale. and its so retarded, cos batman is getting his reborn storyline, and cap is supposed to measure up to that? like seriously? cap sales has always been such a low low figure. and marvel really doesnt have anything better to do than to place steve rogers in a losing reborn match against batman?

and i got my grant morrison, frank quitely, batman and robin, so you know who im supporting. ( but i still hate most of GM's tales, including FCrisis!)

g and b even have pre sales for cap. and i just think that the hype is totally not worth it. its been a few years and i barely even notice he's gone. anyways, you can judge for yourself with the crappy trailer above.

Watchmen, no surprise there. but i expect the sales to drop from this point on now that the buzz around zack snyder's masterworks is almost gone (i m still awaiting to catch my black freighter).

Jack of Fables is no2. havent had time to catch this little bugger. but i havent been impressed with the series since book1 (i have nt read book2 yet too so i dunno if that ones any good) and i m just gonna read it cos it might one day tie in to whatever's thats going on in Fables.

And Batman RIP is a messy pile of crap. the only great thing that came out of it was the batman of zur-en-arrh! was anyone else getting aroused everytime batman came out dressed like that? well, goodbye morrison and hello gaiman!

and now, just for fun, heres the original zur-en-rah!


and now, we have grant morrison's zur-en-rah and our been-long-time-coming-bat-pal, batmite


well, stay tuned next month as i ramble on regarding books that you already know.

the book that couldnt be read: TNA of Adolf

Found out about The New Adventures of Hitler on Reprint This!

Its a controversial comic done by Grant Morrison, yes that grant morrison, and illustrated by Steve Yeowell, an oldtime partner of morrison from 2000ad days.

from watching Bryan Singer's Valkyrie to the recent watchmen/hitler clip i previously uploaded, hitler has always amused my mind. so i finally wikied the bugger and realized that his remains are now at Aquaman's home.

soooo, TNA of Adolf tells the story of young Adolf in liverpool before he went mad with power in germany. It first appeared in 1989's Cut, a scottish art mag and was an instant controversy. and when the big hoo ha finally went away, a year later, Crisis, a spin off of 2000AD, reprinted the nazi comic and controversy endured.

2000AD's crisis creating crisis in the media world while the fuhrer cycles with darth vaders hat

a collected edition was mentioned by Grant Morrison but nothing happened and Reprint this! has a good idea on how the collected edition should be like, including interviews and what nots. but i m just fine with the main story. it looks like a good solid humor read. and people always mention grant morrison was so much better in the 80s.


isnt that such a waste. i would totally get a copy of this if this came out. anyone who has the original copies of cut and/or crisis are probably waiting for grant morrison to die or something whereupon the value would tenfold or something like that.

my best morrison work? Skrull Kill Krew! the kewl title is a good enough reason to be a favourite.
