Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern, jealous much?

I am a big comic geek. Not so much now, but from the time I was a kid to sophmore year in college I collected a lot of comics. I have over 3,000 bagged and boarded in moisture resistant cardboard downstairs. Did I say I was a comic book geek?

Marvel was always my thing, most of the DC universe really didn’t catch my eye. That is until DC started churning out great films like Superman, Batman, etc. Well, now Green Lantern is poised as the next big DC franchise with Ryan Reynolds at the helm. Now, for those of you that have listen to the podcast you’ll know that I’m a big fan of Mr. Reynolds. So I was torn since the next superhero I wanted to see Reynolds play was Deadpool; that is until I saw this on the latest Entertainment Weekly in my mailbox:

Now, this suit does look pretty damn awesome in this shot and I am told that it is entirely CG. The film is still in its early stages so I am unsure if this shot is photoshop’ed, or an early test of the CG mapping. Either way, it has a great look and takes the “feel” of Lantern’s actual suit and makes it current and believable.

Green Lantern is intended to hit theaters next year (6/17/2011).

I’m a Marvel…I’m a DC…It’s f’n brilliant.

Watchmen: The Trailer

Wow. That’s all I can say, probably one of THE very best graphic novels I’ve had the chance to read. The film is being directed by Mr. 300, Zack Snyder. Hopefully he will be faithful to the graphic novel and bring it to life on the big screen.

You still reading this nonsense? Click on the link already! Nuf’ said!

The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead

Anyone who knows me knows my respect and anticipation for the Zombie Apocalypse. I mean I love everything about it. From Survival Guides to Wars, From 28 Days to Dawns, from Zombies Eating Neighbors to the Dead Rising.

I’ve even devised plans and contingencies in order to find the most effective way of survival once the Zombie Tsunami unleashes its cleansing power over us (not kidding ask Jason).

Being the Zombie buff I am and when I came across The Walking Dead I was elated. In the following weeks, I will be doing brief synopses/reviews of each of the 8 volumes currently out in stores.

But if I were you I’d run out and pick them up ASAP. Nuff’ said, you won’t be dissappointed.
