geek o palusa

lots of geeky things today such as a review of wolverine ..... but you will have to wait till the end to read that..... no skipping ahead ... and for those who haven't seen it i will warn you before i start talking about it *caughLauracough*

ok first off geek Christmas... or free comic book day :D its always the first saturday in may, and it is a day where comic book publishers give away... wait for it.... free comics... cool eh:D

most comic book stores use this day to have sales and the such.. all in all, it is great fun.

this year the lines were HUGE (i drove by 3 of the 4 comic book stores in town) bigger than i have ever seen before.

i did make it into the one by my work while on my lunch break... i mostly wanted to go for Blackest night #0 but ended picking up a cool new avengers story and the first issue of Preacher a series i have always wanted to read but just never had the time or the money to get caught up on it.

Blackest night was well worth the price of free, even if just for the black lantern's oath and the profiles on all 8 corps.. though i noticed a printing error.... the profile page for the Sinestro corps in the top left corner where there logo is.... isn't there logo, its the logo for the blue lantern corps but coloured yellow.... way to go boys lol

hmmm i am hungry bagel break......




WARNING AFTER BAGELS WILL BE WOLVERINE STUFF.... mmm bagel *nom nom*



*still eating bagel*


mmm that was good, herb and garlic cream cheese rules... ANYWAY

wolvie!!

k i am gonna start with the flaws and get them over with, flaws as in differences between the movie and the comics, it truth these are not flaws they are differences, the marvel earth (called earth 616) is just a separate universe, comic book fans should be able to understand that right, so everyone calm down.

ok so the 'flaws' wolverine and Sabertooth are not brothers, the character seems to be merged with Dog logan from the wolverine origin story. who was also not wolverine's brother but the rest of the lil beginning part was accurate from the origin.

wade wilson aka deadpool, is not a mutant, but he is given wolverine's healing power by weapon x, he is not how ever given 80000 other mutant powers.

Cyclops does not shoot lasers out of his eyes (stick with me here) he shoots a concussive force, so the scene where he shoots the roof off his school, would not have melting metal and flames, just allot of rubble.

Emma frost, is not Silverfox's sister, and her diamond skin does develop until years latter, her main mutant power is she is a psychic that can almost rival prof X

Gambit's powers are cooler in the comic book, my wife said it looks like the cards he throws electrocutes people instead of exploding like they should. and his accent should of been thicker.

my biggest problem is how wolverine lost his memories... really an adamantium bullet to the brain did it.... lame and boo i say.

all that aside (and i know i missed some, some cause i found them less important, and some cause i forgot) i enjoyed the movie.

its not a perfect wolverine story, he is obviously the wolverine from the movies as apposed to the comics, but it was enjoyable, it had gambit, lots of claw slashing, gambit, some good wolvie and sabie fights, a cool prison full of mutants you have to try and identify to get your geek card (did anyone else see magneto's kid), conformation on wolvie's canadian citizinship, gambit, deadpool (even if the was sparcly used at the begining and was some strange combo man at the end) oh did i mention it had gambit?

anywho i give it a 3.52 stars out of 5 go see it.... it has Gambit!
