Late Night Comic Review for May 29th, 2010

Late Night at the Horror Hotel reveals comics that you MUST read!
By - Rob Dimension

After some great feedback for the past reviews, Late Night at the Horror Hotel has sent out our resident nerd, Rob Dimension to go visit James Frazier at Cyborg One (www.cyborg1.com)  Comics in Doylestown, PA. They discuss comics that are setting the shelves on fire plus look at some that are not worth the paper they are printed on. Below is what Rob Dimension had to say:


"I read all the time, always trying new comics just for the sake of being a fanboy. Here are some of my favorites plus within the video review, we mention plenty to get you started regardless if you read currently or not. Hope you enjoy and we are working on improving all the time. Huge thanks goes out to my homeboy and co-host John Cannon - he edits everything and does great."


Marvel's Secret Avengers against DC's Legion of Super Heroes - "Pitting both lower level teams against each other for the sake of the readers, I figured I would read both and see who prevails - This was extremely easy for me to choose - Secret Avengers all the way. While James does mention his dislike for the art, no one can dispute how great of a start this issue is presenting. Not much of a secondary squad with Beast, Black Widow, War Machine, Moon Knight and more lead by Steve Rogers...they wreck the lameness of the Legion of Super Heroes. This is my pick of this week as best break out comic."


Brightest Day #2 - "I have to put on my Lantern ring collection as I write this - As we progress into the aftermath of Blackest Night, Brightest Day is full of surprises. With a combination of 12 villains and heroes dead, each given a Lantern ring, who will become the White Lantern? In a plot similar to the Sword and the Stone, this is shaping up to be the comic series to follow. Aquaman is B.A. simply for the ability to raise zombie creatures from the deep...yes, I said Aquaman. While they're are plenty of cross story comics, reading this just solely will give you enough info to follow."

War of the Supermen -  "I didn't get a chance to get into this comic in the reviews because we are slaves to YouTube's 10 minute video, but for a short mini series, this is worth grabbing. Issue #0 was offered during Free Comic Book Day and begins with the story of General Zod as the leader Krypton Army, waging war against Earth. With the Yellow Sun leveling out the playing field, Superman must save the day. This is a 4 part series and is really good. I grow tired of a lot of the Superman stuff, but this grabbed my attention and made me a fanboy of good ole' Clark Kent again"

Iron Man Weekend and more Comic stuffffffff!

Iron Man Weekend is here!!


Just about everyone has to know that Iron Man 2 releases today nationwide. Robert Downey Jr. will once again put on the Red and Gold to be our favorite super hero, Iron Man.


I remember going to see the 1st one, man, how about that movie? It was like Marvel actually took the comic and put it on the screen, almost flawless transition. Yes, there were a few flaws but for a comic based film, Iron Man too blew me away. 


The drawback with any movie that garners tons of hype, is the dreaded letdown. Early reports state the film holds up well, advances the story and delivers. Your horror hosting nerd, me, will be writing a review on Monday or Tuesday giving my honest opinion. I am hoping to see some of Tony Stark's drunken downward spiral, it's almost a must happen for the series to continue to deliver.If you go see it, let me know what you think (spoiler free of course)...go have some fun and take Mom with ya!



Today, I went back over to www.cyborg1.com for my fix of comics and I saw something that gave me the comic nerd giggles - HULKPOOL!!! What??? Are you kidding me? I certainly won't complain, until I read it, but Hulk and Deadpool combined....oh baby! For the last year of so Marvel has been pimping the "Merc with a mouth" Deadpool in almost every comic they could. Secret Invasion really helped regenerate the Deadpool scene, the Deadpool comic has also been pretty fun.


I truly hope Ryan Reynolds can pull off both Green Lantern and Deadpool...what a summer that guy could have at the box office. Lantern Fans are going insane for the new release of Brightest Day, the follow up to Darkest Night. Speaking of, I was able to snag my very own White Green Lantern ring today (actually wearing as I type this...so cool), so I apparently now "Have the Powerrrr!!!!" Ok, He-Man and Green Lantern don't mix, but a boy can dream.



What else did I grab? Here is my list of reading material 
  • DeadPool Corps #1
  • Hulked - Out of Heroes #1 & #2
  • iZombie #1 (looking forward to this..First issue is only $1!
  • DeadPool Trade : X Marks the Spot

Plus, I am still reading Marvel Zombies:Dead Days and have Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness on my shelf waiting to read...luckily the books have pictures so it's easy to follow along.
