<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#ff9900;"><strong>DARK REIGN: THE LIST<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2487" title="DarkReignTheListXMen46289_f" src="http://panelwars.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/darkreignthelistxmen46289_f.jpg?w=195" alt="DarkReignTheListXMen46289_f" width="195" height="300" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9900;"><strong>X-Men</strong></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#ff9900;">Marvel Comics</span></em></p>
<p><em>Die X-Men und der Sub-Mariner kämpfen zusammen gegen ein von Norman Osborn geschaffenes Meermonster.</em></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Schon mal der Titel ist eine Fehlinformation. Die X-Men sind hier nur Gäste, denn das eigentliche Objekt von Normans Hass ist <span style="color:#ff9900;"><strong>Namor</strong></span>, der ihn während <em>Utopia</em> betrogen hat. Mag sein, dass man Namor nun schon offiziell zu den X-Men zählt. Er selbst scheint es aber anders zu sehen und so weigert er sich zu Beginn die X-Men um Hilfe zu bieten.</p>
<p>Schon diese Weigerung (<em>die ein kurzes Gespräch mit Emma nach sich zieht</em>) ist seltsam zu lesen. Er muss die X-Men nämlich um gar nichts bitten. Scott heckt sofort nach Namors Auftauchen einen Plan aus und bis Namor rumzickt, kommt man gar nicht auf die Idee, dass es für Namor eine Demütigung sein könnte die Hilfe von den Mutanten anzunehmen.</p>
<p>Oder liegt das Problem hier viel mehr darin, dass es Cyclops ist der ihm die Hilfe anbietet und er nichts von Emmas Freund annehmen will? Bitte nicht! Denn das hieße wieder so ne zähe Dreiecks-Situation wie bei Reed-Sue-Namor oder Cyclops-Jean-Wolverine.</p>
<p>Bei dem Kampf gegen das völlig Old-School wirkenden Monster<em> (ein wurmartiger Riesen-Alien-Fisch mit Energieblitze verschießenden Augen und familiärem Bezug zu Namor)</em> setzen die X-Men ihre Fähigkeiten im Teamwork ein ehe Namor das Vieh schließlich für einen großen Auftritt bei Norman einsammelt.</p>
<p>Der wird hier übrigens als völliger Psycho dargestellt. Nicht nur im rachsüchtigen Handeln sondern auch im Text wo z.b. Victoria Hand als „<em>his last Tether to Sanity</em>“ beschrieben wird.</p>
<p>Dieses Verhalten und Beschreibung Normans scheint mir komplett konträr zu seinen sonstigen Auftritten in den Dark Reign Titeln wo er docht stets kalt und berechnend wirkt. Die wenigen Male wo er wirklich einen Ausraster hat, wird dies auch als Anzeichen für ein Brechen seiner geistigen Gesundheit gesehen. Hier wird er aber so dargestellt als wäre er schon längst wieder zum Psycho geworden. Warum kann man sich hier nicht besser absprechen? Im Übrigen hätte auch ein psychisch stabiler Osborn dieses Monster freilassen können. Es war wirklich nicht nötig ihn so durchgeknallt darzustellen.</p>
<p>Fast das gesamte Art-Team sehe ich hier zum ersten Mal in Action. Naja, und ich hab hier eigentlich nicht viel zu meckern. Wie so oft diese Woche bleiben leider auch hier die richtig coolen Szenen zwar aus, aber das ist trotzdem gut zu lesen. Eher Simepl aber gut.</p>
<p>Am Ende gibt’s noch einen Reprint von Matt Fractions erster Marvel Story in der Wolverine auf dem Weg zum Begräbnis eines Freundes wieder mal über sein Leben nachdenkt. Hier finde ich weniger die Story, sondern das „interessante“ Artwork von Sam Keith sehenswert…</p>
<p>Insgesamt ein verzichtbares Heft. Ich habe mir schon gedacht das The List nichts können wird und die 2 Hefte die ich bis jetzt habe (und auch die einzigen sind die ich wollte) haben mich von dieser Überzeugung nicht abbringen können.</p>
<p>Dieses Heft ist aber noch schwächer als der New Avengers One-Shot, da man hier so gar nichts Wichtiges mitbekommt. Höchstens man sieht es als wichtig an, dass Namor und die X-Men nun Kumpels sind. Doch wer hätte hier etwas anderes erwartet?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#0a0a0a;">.</span></p>
<p>Muchos años se viene hablando de la película de <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Sub-Mariner</strong></span> aka <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Namor</strong></span>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2189/6518headerbanner1176521.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2189/6518headerbanner1176521.jpg" alt="" width="389" height="146" /></a></p>
<p>Tanto tiempo hace, que a día de hoy, los derechos cinematográficos del personaje aun están debajo del brazo de un Estudio, en este caso <strong>Universal</strong>. Esto es un handicap bastante importante a la hora de poder ver al <strong>Rey de Atlantis</strong> en la franquicia <strong>Vengadora </strong>(propiedad de <strong>Marvel Studios</strong>).</p>
<p>Además, lo más curioso es que tiene un director contratado desde el inicio de los tiempos, y no es otro que <strong>Jonathan Mostow</strong>, que va a estrenar ahora la adaptación de <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Surrogates</strong></span>.</p>
<p>El director comentó algunos detalles sobre <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Namor</strong></span> en una entrevista (<em>off the record</em>, ya que a cámara no suelta mucha prenda este hombre). Al parecer el proyecto sigue en pié; lo único que le impide ponerse <strong>100%</strong> con él es la dificultad que se está encontrando de poder tener un guión en condiciones.</p>
<p>Teniendo en cuenta que <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Namor</span> nunca es que haya tenido grandes historias, veremos a ver qué es lo que nos depara <strong>Mostow </strong>con esta película del llamado &#8220;<em>Primer Mutante</em>&#8221; (con la venia de <strong>Apocalipsis</strong>). Y habrá que ver cómo lo encauzan, teniendo en cuenta que <strong>DC </strong>prepara oficialmente película de su homónimo <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Aquaman</strong></span>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Dadurch dass ich in Zukunft ja keine Einzelhefte mehr kaufen werde, wird dies auch eine meiner letzten Comic News Updates sein.</p>
<p>Da die folgenden News aber auch gleichzeitig das Ende von Marvels Dark Reign einläuten, passt das auch wieder gut zusammen&#8230;</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<h3>DARK REIGN: THE LIST</h3>
<p>Vor ein paar Wochen erst hat Marvel den „<em>Iron Patriot Acts“</em> Teaser ausgeschickt in dem angedeutet wurde, dass<strong> Norman Osborn </strong>sich nun endgültig allen Problemen entledigen möchte.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.comicbooknews.us/IMGs/marvel/September2009TheIronPatriotActs.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="324" /></p>
<p>Niemand wusste genau was es mit diesem Teaser nun auf sich hatte bis sich <em><strong>Bendis, Fraction und Hickman</strong></em> zusammen mit <strong><em>C.B. Cebulski </em></strong>dieses Wochenende auf der <strong>Wizard World Philadelphia</strong> endlich dazu äußerten.</p>
<p>Es handelt sich um eine, event-artig aufgezogene Serie von 8 One-Shots&#8230;</p>

<li>&#8220;Dark Reign: The List &#8211; Daredevil&#8221; by Andy Diggle and Billy Tan</li>
<li>&#8220;Dark Reign: The List &#8211; Wolverine&#8221; by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic</li>
<li>&#8220;Dark Reign: The List &#8211; Hulk&#8221; by Greg Pak and Ben Oliver</li>
<li>&#8220;Dark Reign: The List &#8211; Amazing Spider-Man&#8221; by Dan Slott and Adam Kubert</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8230;die zusammen „The List“ ergeben.</p>
<p>Die Serie wurde zum größten Teil von Bendis und Fraction geplottet die ihrer Verbundenheit dadurch Ausdruck verliehen, dass sie gegenseitig ihre Sätze beendeten.</p>
<p>Die Serie schließt an das <em>X-Men: Utopia Crossove</em>r an, in der Osborn anscheinend einen großen Sieg erringen wird, der ihn glauben lässt nun auch für die restlichen Probleme stark genug zu sein.</p>
<p>Der Clou daran ist, dass Bendis und Fraction sich hier am Vorbild <strong>Magnetos </strong>bedienen und Norman gute Gründe für seine Taten mitgeben. Sollte <strong>Hulk</strong> wirklich frei herumlaufen? Ist Punishers Rachefeldzug wirklich gerecht? Wie sicher ist <strong>Reed Richards </strong>Tor in die Negative Zone? Und wo zum Teufel steckt – <em>der wahrscheinlich mittlerweile als Terrorist geführte </em>– <strong>Nick Fury?<a class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble" style="opacity:0;" href="http://wikiatic.com/wikisearch/search?q=Nick%20Fury%3F" target="_blank"></a></strong></p>
<p>Kurz, Bendis &#38; Fraction wollen dass die Leser Normans Argumente nachvollziehen und ihm vielleicht sogar ihm sogar teilweise Recht geben können.</p>
<p>Angeblich steht <strong>Hawkeye</strong> im Mittelpunkt der Serie. Ich weiß jetzt aber nicht ob damit <strong>Clint Barton</strong> oder <strong>Bullseye</strong> gemeint ist. Eigentlich wird Bullseye ja momentan als Hawkeye angeführt und Clint schon seit Ewigkeiten als Ronin. Jedoch zeigt eines der zukünftigen Cover Ronins Handschuh&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1545" title="The List" src="http://panelwars.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/the-list.jpg?w=197" alt="The List" width="197" height="300" /></p>
<p>Wie immer behaupten Bendis und Co. dass „The List“ enorm wichtig für die Zukunft für die Entwicklung der jeweiligen Charakter wäre. Gleichzeitig würde durch The List das <strong>Ende des Dark Reigns</strong> und <strong>der Übergang in eine neue Marvel Ära </strong>eingeläutet werrden.</p>
<p>Vielleicht ist es euch auch aufgefallen, aber ich vermisse in dieser ganzen List-Geschichte ein paar Worte zu <strong>Captain America</strong>. Er ist weder auf der List zu finden, noch wird er in den Konferenzen erwähnt.</p>
<p>Ich bin ja der Meinung, dass es kein Zufall ist dass Steve Rogers Rückkehr mit dem baldigen Ende des Dark Reigns zusammenfällt..</p>
<p>Ich glaube<em> (wie ich auch schon im MarvelFanForum gesagt habe) </em>nach wie vor dass Captain America maßgeblich am <strong>Sturz Normans</strong> beteiligt sein wird und die Chancen stehen gut dass <strong>Bucky</strong> das Kostüm behält während Steve der neue Leiter von <strong>Shield/Hammer </strong>wird.</p>
<p>Das wär auch etwas mit dem <strong>Nick Fury</strong> leben könnte und vielleicht wären seine <strong>Secret Warriors </strong>dann auch so etwas wie das <em>Black-Op Team </em>von Shield.<em> </em>Black Ops sind bei Marvel ja auch gerade trendy.<em> </em></p>
<p>Vorausgesetzt der edle Stevie lässt sich zu einem solchen hinreißen.</p>
<p>Aber ich schweife schon wieder vom Thema ab&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Weiterer News aus dem Dark Reign wären:</strong></span></p>
<h3><span style="color:#ff9900;">DARK REIGN: ARES</span></h3>
<p>Der Kriegsgott, Ex-New Avenger und nun Dark Avenger wird ab Oktober ein eigenes dreiteiliges Spin-Off bekommen. Mir hat die Figur des Ares immer schon gefallen und besonders jetzt, wo er versucht innerhalb der Dark Avengers eine Art „Ehrenkodex“ durchzusetzen, wird die Figur mit jeder Ausgabe interessanter.</p>
<p>Geschrieben wird die Serie von<em> <strong>Kieron Gillen</strong></em> und gezeichnet von<strong><em> Cary Nord</em></strong>.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9900;"><strong>ANSONSTEN</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Namor </strong>wird eine große Rolle bei den X-Men und den Avengers zukommen.</p>
<p><strong>Echo </strong>und <strong>Pixie</strong> werden stärker gefeatured</p>
<p><strong>Void/Sentry </strong>wird <strong>Norman</strong> große Probleme bereiten, genauso wie <strong>Doom</strong> sich langsam gegen Norman aufzulehnen beginnt</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8220;Nightime &#38; he had gone out to the water, high on grass, &#38; sat down &#38; the light from the electric signs &#8211; Coca-Cola? &#8211; in the town came across the bay, and every line of light came off straight, the primitive line, Stone Age, the line of grass</p>
<p>CUT TO</p>
<p>nighttime, same spot, high on acid, and lines come off not straight but in perfect half circles, the acid line, the line of the present, the perfect circle, like the spiders they injected with acid and they wove perfect little round webs</p>
<p>CUT TO</p>
<p>nighttime, same spot, high on opium, only time he ever took hard dope, and the lines came off starting into circles and instead finished with a little hook, like the little hook even in the lines of that strange comic strip, The Spirit, and this was the line of the future, completing the circle without having to go all the way every time, getting there by knowing the beginning of the trip</p>
<p>CUT TO</p>
<p>Nighttime and an electrical storm in the Mexican heat flashes, high on acid, the lightning breaking out &#8211; there! &#8211; there! &#8211; and the electricity flows through him and out of him, a second skin, a suit of electricity, and if the time was ever now it is &#8211; Now! &#8211; and he hurls his hand toward the sky to make the lightning break out where he points &#8211; Now! &#8211; we&#8217;ve got to close it, the gap between the flash and the eye, and make it, the reentry into Now&#8230; as Superheroes &#8230; open &#8230; until he falls to the beach and Mountain Girl finds him holding his throat and choking as if he is gagging on sand&#8230;</p>
<p>   <em>Beyond acid.</em> They have made the trip now, closed the circle, all of them, and they either emerge as superheroes, closing the door behind them, and soaring through the hole in the sapling sky, or just lollygag in the loop &#8211; the loop of the lag &#8211; Almost clear! <em>Presque vu!</em> &#8211; many good heads have seen it &#8211; Paul telling the early Christians: hooking down wine for the Holy Spirit &#8211; sooner or later the Blood has got to flood into you for good &#8211; Zoroaster telling his followers: you can&#8217;t keep taking haoma water to <em>see</em> the flames of Vohu Mano &#8211; you&#8217;ve got to <em>become the flames</em>, man &#8211; And Dr. Strange and Sub Mariner and the Incredible Hulk and the Fantastic Four and the Human Torch prank about on the Rat walls of la casa grande like stroboscopic sledgehammer Cassady&#8217;s <em>fons et origo</em> ::::: and it is either make this thing permanent inside of you or forever just climb draggled up into the conning tower every time for one short glimpse of the horizon:::::&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This is where it all started!  <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/0785135707?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=consumables0a-20&#38;linkCode=as2&#38;camp=15121&#38;creative=390961&#38;creativeASIN=0785135707">Golden Age Marvel Comics Omnibus Volume 1 HC Jelena Kevic Djurdjevic Cover</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.ca/e/ir?t=consumables0a-20&#38;l=as2&#38;o=15&#38;a=0785135707" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none!important;margin:0!important;" /> is now up to pre-order on Amazon and clocks in at 832 pages for $86 with a release date of October 26th.  This is about 20% higher then a typical Omnibus.  I am quite curious to see how the pages have been restored and interested to learn more about that process.  This is one Omnibus I won&#8217;t miss!</p>
<p>In September, 1939 a new voice hit the newsstands and changed the comic-book world forever: Marvel Comics #1, with its blazing Human Torch cover, had arrived! And this 64-page pulp package wasn&#8217;t your typical assortment of super-powered, straight-laced, do-gooders &#8211; this was something completely new. The amazing android creation of Dr. Phineas Horton, the Human Torch was neither man nor hero &#8211; he was a blazing force of nature that shocked and unsettled mankind. Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, the half-human/half-Atlantean, ventures from his undersea kingdom into the world of man &#8211; not with a mind set on peace, but towards vengeance! These two characters would form the foundation for the style of conflicted hero that defines Marvel to this day, and you&#8217;ll see them evolve across twelve full issues from their raw forms into the battling fire and water mega-hits of the Golden Age! Featuring an extensive essay on Marvel&#8217;s pulp magazine pre-history, publisher Martin Goodman, and the birth of Marvel Comics by noted historian Will Murray, and topped off with special bonus features including original artwork and items never seen since 1939, this collection forms the cornerstone of Marvel history essential for every comic book fan, collector and historian! Collects Marvel Comics #1, and Marvel Mystery Comics #2-12.</p>

<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">Wie in fast allen der letzten <span class="blsp-spelling-error">One</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error">Shots</span> die ich in letzter Zeit gelesen habe, besteht auch “<span class="blsp-spelling-error">The</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Cabal</span>” aus mehreren kleinen Kurzgeschichten die von verschiedenen Autoren und Art-Teams gestaltet wurden.</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">Den Anfang macht<span style="font-weight:bold;"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Jonathan</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hickman</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> </span>der uns einen Blick in die Zukunft gewährt. Ein Jahr in der Zukunft hat sich <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dr. </span><span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dooms</span> und <span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Namors</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> </span>Partnerschaft bewährt und die beiden beginnen sich der anderen <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Cabal</span> Mitglieder zu entledigen. Die Kurzgeschichte ist großartig geschrieben und<span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Adi</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Granov </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error"></span>erzeugt mit seinem düsteren Zeichnungen das <span class="blsp-spelling-error">paranoide</span> Flair das diese <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Story</span> so besonders macht.</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Matt </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Fraction</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span>liefert eine Art Rückblick auf die wichtigsten Stationen von <span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Emma</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> Fros</span>t ab. Das ist schon sehr nett geschrieben, liefert aber nichts Neues und <span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Daniel </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Acunas</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Artwork</span> ist einfach überhaupt nicht mein Fall. Allerdings gibt es eine Zeichnung von <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Emmas</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Medikamentensüchtiger</span> Mutter das schon einen wirklich guten Eindruck von <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Emmas</span> Eltern vermittelt. <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Hmmm</span>&#8230; Also im Vergleich zu seiner Arbeit beim X-<span class="blsp-spelling-error">Men</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Annual</span> gefallen mir seine Zeichnungen hier eigentlich schon sehr viel besser. Aber es ist halt trotzdem noch immer nicht mein Ding.</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Rick</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Remender</span> der ja auch beim <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Punisher</span> mit dem <span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hood</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> </span>zu tun hat, bereitet uns einen überraschenden Einblick in das Privatleben des <span class="blsp-spelling-error">des Gangleaders</span>. Ich weiß nicht ob das schon mal irgendwo vorkam, aber mich hat das nahezu geschockt. Erinnert mich an <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Kevin</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Smiths</span> &#8220;Batman: <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Cacophony</span>&#8221; <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Arc</span> in dem sich Batman fragt, wie das Privatleben des <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Jokers</span> aussehen könnte. Ich hab wirklich noch nie daran gedacht, dass der <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Hood</span> neben seiner Gang noch etwas anderes zu tun haben könnte. Dieser Aspekt der hier verraten wird, macht den <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Hood</span> aber sogar noch interessanter als er ohnehin schon ist. Wahrscheinlich muss ich mir die Mini-Serie doch noch zulegen.</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Max </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Fiumaras</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error">Pencils</span> sind nach <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Granovs</span> die besten des Heftes, aber jetzt trotzdem nichts was mich restlos überzeugen kann.</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">In <span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kieron</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gillens</span> <span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sub</span><span style="font-weight:bold;">-</span><span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mariner</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Story</span> geht es nur oberflächlich um <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Namor</span>. Wenn ich das richtig sehe, geht es <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Gillen</span> in erster Linie darum einen neuen Mutanten einzuführen über dessen Schicksal der König der Meere Prozess halten muss. Eigentlich dachte ich, dass <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Marvel</span> dieses Heft nutzen wird um einen dunklen, fiesen Namen zu zeigen. Ganz das Gegenteil ist der Fall. <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Namor</span> ist zwar hart, aber gerecht und er will nur das Beste für sein Volk. <span class="blsp-spelling-error"><br />
<br /></span></p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Carmine</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Di</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gainomenicos</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> </span>Zeichnungen sind allerdings schrecklich. <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Ok</span>, das mag alles Geschmackssache sein, aber meinen trifft das leider nicht. Es wirkt alles sehr roh und unfertig&#8230; <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Einfach</span> nicht <span class="blsp-spelling-error">meins</span>.</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">Die letzte <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Story</span> stammt von <span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Peter </span><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Milligan</span> der das <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Dinner</span> beschreibt bei dem <span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Loki</span> und <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dr. </span><span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Doom</span> die Details für den Umzug von <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Asgard</span> nach <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Latveria</span> festlegen. Ebenfalls eine spannend geschriebene Geschichte in der sich <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Loki</span> erst in mehreren hinterhältigen <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Sicherheitsbarrieren</span> bewähren muss, bevor sie <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Doom</span> persönlich gegenüberstehen darf. <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Milligan</span> liefert eine gekonnte Charakterisierung von <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Doom</span> und <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Loki</span>. Besonders <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Doom</span> bekommt ein paar gute Zitate zugestanden.</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">Das <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Artwork</span> <span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tonici</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold;" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zonjic</span> hätte etwas mehr <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Inks</span> verdient ist aber ansonsten <span class="blsp-spelling-error">ok</span>.</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
</p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">Insgesamt ist dieser <span class="blsp-spelling-error">One</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error">Shot</span> eine positive Überraschung. Jede Geschichte ist überdurchschnittlich gut geschrieben und liefert teilweise brandneue Informationen zu den einzelnen Mitgliedern der <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Cabal</span>. Für alte Hasen eine ebenso nette Ergänzung wie für Neueinsteiger.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Es ist soweit! <a href="http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&#38;id=20846">Fraction gibt in seinem Interview mit CBR</a> erste Informationen über die <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dark X-Men</span> frei. Und nicht nur das. Mittlerweile gibt es ja auch schon Cover und Bilder der Dark-Reign Mutanten:</span></p>
<p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cctbFE9XoA8/SehRFyf3-GI/AAAAAAAAAew/3DxcJWOD6xk/s1600-h/DarkX-Mencov02.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:209px;height:320px;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cctbFE9XoA8/SehRFyf3-GI/AAAAAAAAAew/3DxcJWOD6xk/s320/DarkX-Mencov02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Also ich glaube hier mal auf jeden Fall <span style="font-weight:bold;">Emma Frost, Namor, Xavier, Wolverine und (Arch)angel</span> zu erkennen. Bei dem schwarzen Mutanten mit dem Mantel und der Blonden muss es sich wohl um <span style="font-weight:bold;">Cloak &#38; Dagger</span> handeln und ich glaube dass der Typ mit dem Omega Zeichen auf der Brust wohl einer von <span style="font-weight:bold;">Alpha Flight</span> sein wird. (Gab&#8217;s nicht schon mal einen Dark Guardian?)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Doch bei Dark Reign ist ja nichts so wie es scheint, und so könnten hinter den Kostümen auch andere Leute stecken. Fraction meint dazu folgendes:</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><br />
<blockquote><span>“You&#8217;ve got to remember what we as readers know the world doesn&#8217;t, and what Norman did to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&#38;id=20846#" class="iAs">the Avengers<img style="border:0 none;height:10px;width:10px;position:relative;top:1px;left:1px;float:none;margin:0;padding:0;" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif" /></a> he&#8217;s now looking to do with the X-Men,” Fraction stated. “There is a profound public crisis and what Norman did worked, so he&#8217;s thinking why wouldn&#8217;t it work for the X-Men?”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cctbFE9XoA8/SehRGBpF7mI/AAAAAAAAAe4/iKHqlnx9uKM/s1600-h/DarkX-Mencov01.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:210px;height:320px;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cctbFE9XoA8/SehRGBpF7mI/AAAAAAAAAe4/iKHqlnx9uKM/s320/DarkX-Mencov01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Was sicher ist, ist dass Emma Frost das Team der Dark X-Men anführen wird. </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-style:italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br />
<blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">Fans are already buzzing about the six-part “X-Men/Dark Avengers” crossover that Matt Fraction is writing, and they became even more excited after the reveal of the story’s first cover, “Uncanny X-Men” #513, featuring a new team of “Dark X-Men.” “<span style="font-weight:bold;">This story is about three teams and the three people leading those teams; Norman Osborn, Scott Summers and Emma Frost</span>,” Fraction confirmed.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Das erklärt ein bißchen die &#8220;<a href="http://panelwars.blogspot.com/2009/04/normal-0-21-microsoftinternetexplorer4.html">AC-Werbung</a>&#8220;, bedeutet aber noch immer nicht, dass sie jetzt wirklich für Osborn arbeitet. Das Team wird nämlich nicht mal von ihr zusammengestellt wie Fraction erzählt:</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-style:italic;color:rgb(255,153,0);"><br />
<blockquote>When fans meet Emma Frost&#8217;s Dark X-Men, the team is fully formed and was handpicked by Norman Osborn &#8212; with the <span style="font-weight:bold;">exception of one member who&#8217;s been placed on the team at Emma Frost&#8217;s insistence</span>. Unlike Osborn&#8217;s Avengers, the majority of his X-Men are in the dark as to his current criminal agenda and believe him to be a reformed villain and hero of the Skrull invasion.<br />
</p></blockquote>
<p></span>Wer ist der Eine? Eigentlich kann es nur Namor sein. Der Wolverine in diesem Team hat Tatoos am Arm was auf Daken schließen lässt und die anderen halte ich alle für gutgläubig genug dass sie Osborn den Wandel abkaufen. Auch haben Emma und Namor ja auch noch einen Deal am laufen&#8230;<br />
<br />Etwas verwirrt mich, dass Xavier am zweiten Bild nicht mehr zu sehen ist, sonst hätte ich auch ihn in die nähere Wahl gezogen. (Auch wenn die Beziehung zwischen ihm und Emma mehr als <span style="font-style:italic;">frostig</span> ist&#8230;)</p>
<p>Auf jeden Fall ein sehr interessanter Titel auf den ich mich schon freue.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.comicsfan.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/invincibleironman12c.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;width:319px;height:481px;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://www.comicsfan.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/invincibleironman12c.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Nachdem Iron Man am Ende des letzten Heftes in das Rote Meer gefallen ist, nutzte Norman Osborn erneut seine Cabal Connection und rief Namor zur Hilfe der das Problem lösen sollte.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Ich wusste bei der letzten Ausgabe nicht dass Namor und Tony Stark ne Fehde haben, hab aber jetzt wo gelesen dass Namor schon mal Tonys Extremis Rüstung zu Schrott geschlagen hat.<br />Da wundert es mich wie schwer er es diesmal mit Iron Mans alter Rüstung hat und sich im Endeffekt sogar von einer leck geschossenen Öl-Leitung so sehr ablenken lässt (oder sogar geschwächt wird?), dass Tony ihn mit dieser Old-School Ritter-Rüstung überwältigen kann.<br />Das ist für mich nicht sehr plausibel und wie Tony auch noch genügend Zeit findet danach die Rüstung erneut zu wechseln ist mir überhaupt ein Rätsel.</span>  <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></p>
<p>Auch die Maria Hill Story erscheint mir etwas seltsam. Der Typ der am Ende des letzten Heftes zu sehen war ist offensichtlich als Controller bekannt (verdammt, ich sollte mich wirklich mal mehr mit Iron Man beschäftigen) der mittels Kontrollscheiben die Arbeiter der Futurepharm unter seine Kontrolle brachte und diese nun auf Maria Hill hetzt. Die Szene wirkt wie ein futuristischer Zombie-Film und bringt (nicht zuletzt wegen der blutroten Einfärbung) die Horror-Stimmung wirklich auf den Punkt. Nicht mal bei Walking Dead wurde in so wenigen Szenen ein solch bedrohliches Horror Szenario erwirkt. Für mich sicherlich der Höhepunkt der Ausgabe.<br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Ich weiß aber nicht warum Maria Hill nicht einfach zur Waffe greift und den Controller erschießt. Gehen seine „Zombies“, wenn er während der Verbindung stirbt, ebenfalls drauf? Einen anderen Grund kann ich mir für die Passivität der sonst sehr schlauen Maria Hill nicht vorstellen.</span>  <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></p>
<p>Dafür bin ich mit der dritten Geschichte rund um Pepper Potts durchgehend einverstanden. Ich liebe die Szene in der sie das Flugzeug rettet und besonders die Idee das sie mit dem „Jarvis“ in ihrer Rüstung einen Ansprechpartner hat, gefällt mir äußerst gut. Ok, das mit der rein-defensiven Rüstung finde ich etwas schwach, aber mal sehen wie sich das in Zukunft entwickelt und wie sie diese Waffen dann wirklich einsetzen kann.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">In diesem Strang des Heftes liefert Matt Fraction auch wieder eine coole Norman Osborn Szene. Wie schon in den letzten Ausgaben zeigt er auch diesmal keine Skrupel wenn es um seine Feinde geht und ist sogar dazu bereit einfache Touristen zu für seine Zwecke zu gefährden.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Ich verstehe allerdings nicht warum er glaubt dass dem Hood seine D-List Pfeifen Iron Man kleinkrigen könnten, nachdem sogar der Sub-Mariner innerhalb seines Elements an ihm gescheitert ist&#8230;</p>
<p>Auch wenn ich nicht im allgemeinen Matt-Fraction Lobgesang einstimmen kann, ist dies doch eine gute Ausgabe in der viel passiert und keine Durchhänger hat.</p>
<p></span>

Offensichtlich freut sich <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Namor</span> aber doch sehr darüber gegen Stark vorgehen zu dürfen. Haben die beiden – bis auf die <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Illuminati</span> – eine gemeinsame Vorgeschichte die sie zu Feinden werden ließ? Wenn ja, hab ich was verpasst. Mir gefällt allerdings, dass <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Namor</span> während des <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Dark</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Reigns</span> eine solch undurchsichtige Schlüsselrolle zukommt und noch keiner richtig weiß, welche Ziele der Herr der Meere verfolgt. Spätestens nächste Ausgabe werden wir aber zumindest mal eine Ahnung haben.</span></p>

Wie auch Maria <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Hill</span> selbst, habe ich keine Ahnung wer das sein soll, aber er scheint von der Energie der vermissten Angestellten zu leben. Die rote Hintergrund Kolorierung gibt der ganzen Szene einen gruseligen <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Touch</span>, was mir äußerst gut gefällt und das Heft abwechslungsreicher macht.</span></p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-AT"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-AT">Insgesamt ist das <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Artwork</span> dieser Ausgabe besser als in jenen zuvor, kann mich aber auf Grund der Unbeständigkeit von <b><i><span class="blsp-spelling-error">Larocca</span></i></b> noch immer nicht überzeugen.</span></p>

Auch wenn diese Entwicklung schon während der ersten Hefte <i>(nach der Explosion)</i> abzusehen gewesen ist und <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Fraction</span> die Ereignisse auch schön in die laufende Handlung einflechten konnte, bin ich kein Fan von dem Fakt, dass <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Marvel</span> jetzt von jedem männlichen Superhelden ein weibliches Pendant aus dem Hut zaubert.

<p style="font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-AT">Das Heft steht solide über dem Durchschnitt, aber ist auch nicht herausragend.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We took a day out to Whitby in North Yorkshire yesterday which is only about an hours drive from where I live in York. Many of you may know that Whitby is where much of Bram Stoker&#8217;s Dracula is set and much of the fabulously imposing structure of Whitby Abbey still remains. I think I will have to read the book again soon. Catwoman tells me that Whitby is supposed to be Goth Central, well apart from a couple of pre-teen girls with My Chemical Romance hoodies there was nothing even remotely close, maybe they just come out at night. By the way I know that MCR would not be considered goth, but really that is the closest thing I saw. But if the Daily Mail is to be believed, and I really don&#8217;t think it is, then these two kids were off to do some self harm and plan for suicide!</p>
<div id="attachment_751" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-751" title="Whitby Abbey" src="http://justwilliam1959.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/whitby_abbey.jpg?w=300" alt="Whitby Abbey, it'll look good when it's finished won't it?" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Whitby Abbey, it&#39;ll look good when it&#39;s finished won&#39;t it?</p></div>
<p>I did find a small independent music store though, as usual! I bought a copy of the supremely talented Julian Cope&#8217;s album &#8216;Black Sheep&#8217; I got into Cope quite late really but I love his stuff now, especially his solo albums, I&#8217;m not so keen on the Teardrop Explodes. Incidentally did you know that the band got their name from issue 77 of Marvel Comics Daredevil from 1971 (which also featured Spiderman and Prince Namor)? Well they did and did you know that whilst I like Daredevil and Spidey the Silver Surfer is probably my favourite Marvel character? Well he is, but is followed in a very close second place by the Fantastic Four!</p>

<p>Whilst in Whitby we simply had to visit it&#8217;s most famous Fish and Chip restaurant, <a title="The Magpie in Whitby" href="http://www.magpiecafe.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Magpie</a> and trust me it was well worth it! Click on the name to check it out. Speaking of fish,have any of you seen the new TV advert for Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers? I&#8217;m not sure if it is being shown outside the UK yet. Either way and just in case <a title="Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6fyE1w2I6s" target="_blank">click here</a> to see it. I think it is bloody hilarious and the best TV ad I&#8217;ve seen for ages.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll cover just one birthday today 9th April. It&#8217;s the 29th birthday of Albert Hammond Jr off of the Strokes who has also produced a couple of solo albums in recent years too. He is the son of US singer songwriter Albert Hammond, I could make a joke here about his parents lacking creativity by giving him the same name as his Dad, but I won&#8217;t because that&#8217;s exactly what my parents did. no they didn&#8217;t name me Albert Hammond, he wasn&#8217;t my Dad ok, that&#8217;s just a &#8220;<a title="&#34;Big Stripey Lie&#34; - Kate Bush" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipVseQFigvI" target="_blank">Big Stripey Lie</a>&#8221; (you like the secret Kate reference Mickelodeon?). No my Dad, and therefore me too, were and are William Adamson, although no one ever calls me William anymore. Nowadays it&#8217;s Bill, Will, baldbloke or git. Anyway back to Mr Hammond Jr, I bought the Strokes&#8217; first album &#8216;Is This It&#8217; while I was on holiday in Canada in late August 2001. My copy contains the track &#8220;New York City Cops&#8221;  which was removed from the US and some other territories releases after the terrible events of September 11th 2001. It was deemed disrespectful to the many public servants who risked and in many cases lost their lives on that day. I do understand that, but clearly it was written and recorded some time before those horrific murders so maybe now is a good time to reclaim it! <a title="&#34;New York City Cops&#34; - The Strokes" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhgYg_ktRdE" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see the band performing it live. Albert met Julian Casablancas, also off of the Strokes whilst at Boarding School in Switzerland. Albert&#8217;s dad had a massive hit in the early 70s with what I suppose would be termed one of my guilty pleasures these days, &#8220;<a title="&#34;It Never Rains In Southern California&#34; - Albert Hammond" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zESYDjWrpbA" target="_blank">It Never Rains In Southern California</a>&#8220;. well maybe it does but surely it rains much, much less there than it does here in the UK.</p>
<div id="attachment_747" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-747" title="Strokes" src="http://justwilliam1959.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/strokes.jpg?w=300" alt="Once again the Strokes fail to win at Giant Scrabble, spelling c;early wasn't their strong point!" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Once again the Strokes fail to win at Giant Scrabble, spelling clearly wasn&#39;t their strong point!</p></div>
<p>It has been pointed out to me that Queen have not yet featured in my blog so far, well it&#8217;s nothing personal I do like them quite a lot. So here they are! On this day in 1973 Queen played a showcase gig for their new record label, EMI, at the Marquee Club in London. The late great (those l&#8217;s &#38; g&#8217;s are getting very regular now, it must be all the Bran Flakes!) Freddie Mercury came up with the band&#8217;s name and claims he never even thought of it&#8217;s gay connotations, here is what he said about it; &#8220;I thought up the name Queen. It&#8217;s just a name, but it&#8217;s very regal obviously, and it sounds splendid, It&#8217;s a strong name, very universal and immediate. It had a lot of visual potential and was open to all sorts of interpretations. I was certainly aware of gay connotations, but that was just one facet of it.&#8221; For me Queen was more than just Freddie, it was a combination of him, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor. That is why I really don&#8217;t get stuff like the newish Paul Rodgers and Queen album. I think Paul Rodgers has one of the great rock voices but he&#8217;s not a part of Queen is he? I&#8217;m sure that some of you will disagree but that&#8217;s my opinion. Anyway let&#8217;s end this Queen piece on a fun note with another excellent Freddie quote. Queen and the Sex Pistols were recording in the same London studio complex in 1977 when Sid Vicious went into the wrong room and saw Freddie Mercury sitting at the piano alone. Sid allegedly said something like &#8220;Freddie Mercury, still bringing ballet to the masses are you?&#8221; Freddie&#8217;s excellent reply was allegedly something similar to &#8220;Oh yes Mr Ferocious dear, we are doing our best&#8221; Here are the mighty Queen with my favourite of all their songs &#8220;<a title="&#34;Seven Seas Of Rhye&#34; - Queen" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EvL7-9RVGE" target="_blank">Seven Seas Of Rhye</a>&#8220;</p>

<p>And finally this day in 1991 saw the death of record producer Martin Hannett. He was born in Manchester and had produced many Manchester bands including; the Smiths, New Order, Joy Division, Happy Mondays and Magazine. He also worked with U2 and the Psychedelic Furs. He was credited as Martin zero for his first production job which was the &#8220;Spiral Scratch EP&#8221; by the Buzzcocks. He died of heart failure in 1991 after years of heavy drinking and drug addiction, which included heroin. Many people have a real misconception of the nature of addiction, myself included until recently. I have learned a lot from an Australian blog which now features on my BlogRoll, it&#8217;s called &#8216;<a title="The Australian Heroin Diaries Blog" href="http://theaustralianheroindiaries.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Australian Heroin Diaries</a>&#8216; and you really should check it out. As far as Martin goes I had to finish with Joy Division&#8217; fantastic &#8220;Love Will Tear Us Apart&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>When I was over at Comic Book Resources earlier I spotted <a href="http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&#38;id=20620" target="_blank">a story about Marvel releasing a set of variant covers to celebrate its 70th anniversary</a> and I was blown away by how cool they look. Marcos Martin, who I only know from <a href="http://www.comics.org/series.lasso?SeriesID=10948" target="_blank">Batgirl: Year One</a> a few years back, has been tapped for the job, and the four covers are dynamite.</p>
<p>Of course, Marvel was still called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timely_Comics" target="_blank">Timely Comics</a> 70 years ago so the titles are based around their three most notable World War II characters, the Human Torch, the Submariner and Captain America. The covers have a great WWII proaganda feel about them. Bravo. I feel like buying some war stamps and picking a fight with a bunch of Nazis.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Really &#8230; <strong>JACK KIRBY vs GENE COLAN</strong> in some kind of legendary &#8220;silver agey&#8221; comic book artist smackdown &#8230; really &#8230; well not really. But it is an interesting thought, you have to admit. If you want to get directly to the controversy (or non-controversy if you actually apply any critical thought to it), you&#8217;ll just have to scroll down a little bit.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;"> </span><span style="font-weight:normal;">But first, a tiny bit of unnecessary and probably unwanted non-comics stuff&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>I&#8217;M NOT TAKING MY GLOVES OR MUZZLE OFF &#8230; BUT &#8230;<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">If you know me in any small way, you can probably guess where I come down politically. This is not a political blog. This is also not a personal blog, a music blog or a journalistic blog. That said, don&#8217;t be surprised if I talk briefly about my life, my daughter, </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Jim Croce, The Kentucky Headhunters, The Dan Band</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">, or my degree in Mass Communications from the </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>University of Wisconsin-La Crosse</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">.<a href="http://thinkprogress.org/stop-oreilly-harassment/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3710" title="billo" src="http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/billo.jpg" alt="billo" width="200" height="200" /></a><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">I don&#8217;t really see this as a left/right, blue/red issue, but an issue regarding journalistic integrity, but you be the judge.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">That said, I thought that this was a piece of information worth passing along &#8230; doing my small piece of the effort. I don&#8217;t have any plans to bore you with this kind of polarizing material very often. So if you want to pitch in and help, click the picture at the right (it is a link) &#8230; and if you&#8217;ve come for a funny book fix instead &#8230; just scroll down and away you go.</span><!--more--></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>FANATIC QUIZ QUESTION</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">We&#8217;ll start today&#8217;s post with a new quiz question that leads perfectly into the pressing issue of the day.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_3717" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 215px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3717    " title="redraven1big" src="http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/redraven1big.jpg" alt="Red Raven Comics #1" width="205" height="275" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cover art by Jack Kirby</p></div>
<div id="attachment_3719" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 196px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3719   " title="ironmansubmariner" src="http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/ironmansubmariner.jpg" alt="ironmansubmariner" width="186" height="275" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cover art by Gene Colan</p></div>
<div id="attachment_3727" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 201px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3727 " title="eapoetelltale" src="http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/eapoetelltale.jpg" alt="Edgar Allan Poe: Tell Tale Heart cover by Brooks Hagen" width="191" height="294" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cover art by Brooks Hagen</p></div>
<p>Above are three comic book covers from different eras, other than the fact that they are all first issues, <strong>what else do they have in common</strong>? Sounds easy enough, right?</p>
<p>Notice the cover to <strong><em>Red Raven Comics</em></strong>. All the reference says that this is artwork by <strong>Jack &#8220;The King&#8221; Kirby</strong>. It certainly isn&#8217;t the Kirby style that we&#8217;re all the most familiar with, now is it?</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>JACK KIRBY vs GENE COLAN</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">It seems that my dear friend Tom Heintjes has taken issue with my suggestion that someone smarter than me could make a case for Gene Colan being the greatest comic book artist. This is what Mr. Heintjes wrote:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><em></em></strong></span></p>
<div id="attachment_1633" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 136px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1633" title="theintjes1" src="http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/theintjes1.jpg" alt="Tom Heintjes" width="126" height="191" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tom Heintjes</p></div>
<p><em>&#8220;<strong>Come on, DWO–you can’t POSSIBLY be saying that Colan surpasses Kirby for output/versatility of genres/influence/sales/what have you got?</strong></em><em>&#8220;</em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">Now this is where the trouble begins&#8230; I&#8217;m a competitive guy. I want nothing more than to pick a fight with the obviously misguided </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Mr. Heintjes</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">. I want to prove him wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt. I want to embarrass him with a dazzling array of information, logic and emotional appeals that would cause a room of old women to erupt in thunderous applause.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">People like a good fight. People line up and pay good money to see a fight. In my imagination, as I have Mr. Heintjes in an intellectual headlock, the readership/traffic/views/clicks for this modest, but fanatical little blog soar to the stratosphere as the virtual eyeballs buy all the popcorn and </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Goobers</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> they can eat just to watch me punch Mr. Heintjes in his virtual nose.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_3741" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 262px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3741" title="ff01kirbycover" src="http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/ff01kirbycover.jpg" alt="Kirby's cover for FF#1. Perhaps the most &#34;swiped&#34; cover design EVER!" width="252" height="371" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Kirby&#39;s cover for FF#1. Perhaps the most &#34;swiped&#34; cover design EVER!</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">What possible strategy could I employ to prove my point? In what obvious and easy-to-prove-to-the-world ways is </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Gene Colan&#8217;s</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> comic book art clearly better or his career greater than </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Jack Kirby&#8217;s</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">Well, I find </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Gene Colan&#8217;s</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> artwork prettier to look at. Ok &#8230; that&#8217;s one thing, but not very convincing as it is simply a matter of personal preference. What about total output? That would take a lot of research. What about influence? Lots of guys went to great lengths to make their artwork have the dynamics and flair of </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Kirby</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">. Pretty hard to find any popular artists that appeared to be trying to make their art look like </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Gene Colan&#8217;s</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">. That hardly proves my point.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">What about versatility? Or sales? Or output? Gosh darn it &#8230; all that stuff would take an enormous amount of research that I don&#8217;t have the time or energy for &#8230; and god forbid &#8230; I might not be able to find all the information I need on the </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Wikipedia</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> &#8230; or the whole internet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">I know. If I want to prove that </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Gene Colan</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> is somehow greater than </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Jack Kirby</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> all I have to do is &#8230; wait &#8230; let me read back what I just typed. Never mind.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">The truth is this. Both </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Tom Heintjes</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> and I have enormous amounts of respect and love for both </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Jack Kirby</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> and </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Gene Colan</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> and their enormous contributions to the comic industry we all love &#8230; in very fanatical ways. I guess I&#8217;ll just have to find another way to build readership and punch </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Mr. Heintjes</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> in his virtual e-nose.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>2nd STRING HALL OF FAME NOMINEE</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">I’ll be rolling out the nominees in </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>ROUND FOUR </strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">one by one. And this new round of nominees is going to be all-female. And in honor of today&#8217;s theme, I&#8217;m proud to present a character created by </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Jack Kirby</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_3764" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 298px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3764" title="bardabop1061" src="http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/bardabop1061.jpg" alt="Big Barda hangin' with BIRDS OF PREY" width="288" height="431" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Big Barda hangin&#39; with BIRDS OF PREY</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Big Barda (DC Hero)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Big Barda</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> was a BBW (big, beautiful woman) before the term was popularized in magazines and television. Her first appearance was in </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><em>Mister Miracle</em> #4</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> and was part of the </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>NEW GODS</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> mythology that </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Jack Kirby</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> created at </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>DC Comics</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">. </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Big Barda</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> was created as a female companion to Scott Free alias </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Mr. Miracle</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">. According to </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Mark Evanier</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">, who worked as Kirby&#8217;s assistant for a time, the interplay between the two characters was patterned in part on </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Jack</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> and </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Roz Kirby&#8217;s</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> relationship. Born on Apokolips and raised by </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Granny Goodness</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">, </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Barda</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> was supposed to be one of the bad guys. Since falling in love with </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Mr. Miracle</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> and becoming a hero, Barda has had a long association with the </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Justice League</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> and a more recent one with </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>Oracle</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"> and </span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>The Birds of Prey</strong></span><span style="font-weight:normal;">. Plus, how can you resist a girl who has this description from Wikipedia, &#8220;She wields a high tech weapon called a <strong>Mega-rod</strong>, which produces extremely powerful concussive bursts.&#8221; &#8217;nuff said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong>THE GENE COLAN PROJECT</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">Enjoy the dynamic bravery of the composition of this CAPTAIN AMERICA cover by Gene Colan. Most artists wouldn&#8217;t even try to make a cover like this work &#8230; and most of those that may try &#8230; would fail.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3779" title="cap116" src="http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/cap116.jpg" alt="cap116" width="450" height="672" />That&#8217;s my version of the story.</span></p>

<p>
<blockquote>- Will Harry Osborn be involved in Dark Reign since his father&#8217;s in charge? Brevoort: Yes, in April the American Son story in <strong>Amazing Spider-Man</strong> #595 to 599 will show that story. Slott: Check the Weekly Webbing interview with Wacker on Newsarama.</p>
<p>- Does the hair on Pepper&#8217;s armor do anything? Fraction: It&#8217;s not hair.</p>
<p>- How much is the Dark Reign related to the Bush Administration? Quesada: Dark Reign has been planned for quite awhile.</p>
<p>- In the last page of <strong>Secret Warriors</strong>, how much impact will that have on the Marvel Universe? Hickman: A big one.</p>
<p>- Will Thor ever appear in Dark Reign? Brevoort: Yes.</p>
<p>- Why doesn&#8217;t Doom put Norman in his place? Bendis: That would be Issue #4 of <strong>Dark Avengers</strong>. It&#8217;s a central issue of the first arc.</p>
<p>- How long is Dark Reign going to last? Can we take a break from events? Quesada: So you don&#8217;t want books where something happens? Pak: I think we should have Marvel Battle of the Bands. McCann: Dark Reign isn&#8217;t really an event; it&#8217;s what&#8217;s happening in the Marvel Universe. Quesada: Dark Reign leads to an interesting place in the Marvel Universe. I think you&#8217;ll see a pulling back at the end of Dark Reign, but you&#8217;ll understand at the end of it what we were trying to get to.</p>
<p>&#8220;When we produce books that aren&#8217;t part of an event, there&#8217;s a significant drop-off,&#8221; Quesada added. &#8220;You vote with your dollars&#8230;. We try to give you the stuff you want to read. When it&#8217;s not successful, we stop publishing.&#8221;</p>
<p>- What&#8217;s going on with Dormammu and the Hood? Bendis: <strong>New Avengers</strong> #51 through #55 is the search for the new Sorcerer Supreme now that it&#8217;s not Dr. Strange.</p>
<p>- A fan said he&#8217;s a huge fan of <strong>Captain Britain and the MI: 13</strong>. Cornell said: &#8220;New storyline: Dr. Doom on the Moon with Dracula. Dr. Doom&#8217;s not taking second fiddle to anyone in my series.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Are the Fantastic Four going to get messed up like everyone else in the universe? Brevoort: <strong>Dark Reign: Fantastic Four</strong> is all about how that plays out.</p>
<p>- What&#8217;s the thinking behind Emma&#8217;s placement on the Cabal, and Namor&#8217;s placement? Bendis: Namor will do anything he thinks is good for his kingdom. He&#8217;s the only one who knows the first Illuminati and the Dark Illuminati both exist. Fraction: The <strong>Uncanny Annual</strong> that just came out explains most of why Emma&#8217;s doing this. Emma&#8217;s doing what she believes is best for mutant-kind.</p>
<p>- Any plans for Omega Flight? Fraction: Keep reading <strong>Uncanny</strong>.</p>
<p>- Were there hints to what happened at the end of <strong>Secret Warriors</strong>? Hickman: There are tons of hints about where we&#8217;re going in the information in the back. There&#8217;s a long, complex story coming.</p>
<p>- Will there be a Pulse or Frontline for Dark Reign? Isn&#8217;t the press interested in this? Quesada: The prior events were so huge that we needed a ground level view in a special series. This is not that kind of thing so it&#8217;s not necessary to have a series from that point of view. Brevoort: You&#8217;ll see some of that in <strong>Amazing Spider-Man</strong>. Remender: And also in <strong>The Punisher</strong>.</p>
<p>- Is Nick Fury&#8217;s team a permanent thing or just to stop Norman Osborn? Hickman: Permanent, but it&#8217;s not going to be the only team in the book.</p>
<p>- Is Bullseye going to be killing lots of people? Bendis: Yes. Diggle: <strong>Dark Reign: Hawkeye</strong> is all about Norman trying to keep control of the guy. He&#8217;ll also be in the <strong>Dark Reign: Elektra</strong> series.</p>
<p>- Will <strong>Captain America</strong> tie into Dark Reign? Brevoort: You&#8217;ll see Avengers characters hanging out sometimes with Cap, but Ed Brubaker will be doing what he&#8217;s been doing.</p>
<p>- Is Magneto involved in Dark Reign? Fraction: No, but we&#8217;ll be checking in with him soon.</p>
<p>- What&#8217;s next for the Initiative? Will Gargoyle stay around? Gage: Gargoyle retired. The next story is Initiative Disassembled, and that&#8217;s what it is. Norman Osborn will be changing things in the Initiative in a big way. And the New Warriors are coming back.</p>
<p>- Will anyone switch sides during Dark Reign? Bendis: Characters are going to be pushed in different directions. So you&#8217;ll see what happens in all the Dark Reign books with all these heroes as they react to being pushed to the limit.</p>
<p>- Daken seems to have bone claws like Wolverine. Is he getting an adamantium skeleton? McCann: As of Issue #75, Wolverine becomes Dark Wolverine, so that&#8217;s where the answer will be.</p>
<p>- More Howard the Duck? Bendis: That character has shown up in six issues I&#8217;ve done, and I&#8217;ve never typed the words Howard the Duck.</p>
<p>- Has Norman Osborn given up the Spider-Man obsession? Almost everyone on the panel said: No!</p>
<p>- How long until we get into the Ebony Blade in <strong>Captain Britain and the MI: 13</strong>? Cornell: You&#8217;ll see the Black Knight get the Ebony Blade back in the next issue.</p>
<p>- Is Dark Reign influenced by Acts of Vengeance? Bendis: It&#8217;s not consciously linked to it. Brevoort: Acts of Vengeance collection this year.</p>
<p>- What&#8217;s up with Scarlet Witch? Slott: You&#8217;re going to find out what&#8217;s up with the Scarlet Witch by Issue #23.</p>
<p>- Is Steven Strange done? Bendis: No, you&#8217;ll be very happy because Steven gets a lot of face time, and we&#8217;ll take a tour of Marvel&#8217;s magical universe and see who&#8217;s worthy of being Sorcerer Supreme.</p>
<p>- Any interactions between the Thunderbolts and the Dark Avengers? Diggle: You&#8217;ll see interaction, but the public thinks the Thunderbolts don&#8217;t exist. The Avengers are there to take the spotlight.</p>
<p>- Will the lists and information in the back of Hickman&#8217;s comics going to continue in <strong>Fantastic Four</strong>? Hickman: Not really, because we&#8217;re going for something different in FF. I think you&#8217;ll like it though.</p>
<p>- Will we see Magneto&#8217;s opinion of Dark Reign soon? Fraction: Yes.</p>
<p>- Will we see a battle between Norman Osborn and Spider-Man? Brevoort (sarcastically): It&#8217;s absolutely out of the question.</p>
<p>- Will the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man story in April in <strong>Amazing Spider-Man</strong> affect Dark Reign? Slott: It will have major repercussions on the Marvel Universe.</p>
<p>- Do you worry you&#8217;re making things too gray? Quesada: No, at the end of the day, we&#8217;re just trying to tell good stories. Marvel characters have always been gray. There&#8217;s lot of that stuff.</p>
<p>- What does H.A.M.M.E.R. mean? Brevoort: Evil!</p></blockquote>
