achhooooooooooooooooo.....oooooo

i have had what seems like 3 weeks of heavy allergies .. sneezing runny nose ... needless to say i am extra sexy lately ohhyeah baby

..... speakin of babies!!
as you may know my wife is prego... thus babies.... i had a realization the other day... when my baby is old enough to get into music my fave bands will not be around... bands like metallica who were actually around before I was born, will surly be gone, though hopefully not forgotten. hopefully they will be able to survive the test of time, but what of less popular/famous bands, like say the offspring, awesome band and yes they have been around for a good long while... but will they stay around or am i going to have to introduce my child to them with outdated cd's!! they will think i am crazy? or will they? i mean lots of kids are into rush and led zeppelin and the Beatles still. why not the offspring in 16 years? this is of serious concern to me... i am strange :)


now for a review of last weeks comics

"red" hulk 14: still have no idea who he is.... strating to not care

Teen Titans 74: WHY do they always kill off the ones i like.... first of they killed superboy, over at marvel they killed Icarus, now kid devil all my second (possably third) tier characters are falling to the waist side... good thing they brought superboy back... lesions my pain

flash rebirth 4: lot of info in one issue, i am totally going to have to reread this whole series a couple times once it is done, its beautiful though, you can love it just for the art mmm purdy

Batman the widening gyre 1: kevin smith returns to batman whooot..... since when does poison ivy want to bone batman....love the idea of ivy using pot plants to try and make batman high... classic smith humour all the way through, good story telling much better than Batman: Cacophony, which i just couldn't get into even though i liked onomatopoeia as a villain and apparently only smith is aloud to use him. so a good issue to start off his and walts second series.


thats all i got for now.... need to have a funny blog soon or i may loose Dave as a fan ;)

the never ending battle, for reason

so i am watching the daily show with Jon Stewart, and he is ripping apart fox news for the way they cover American citizens protesting government policy, when Bush was in power the people protesting were "loons" but the ones protesting Obama are great American's. (by the way my spell check doesn't recognize Obama, it wants to correct it to Obadiah)

but to me it seems that Jon is fighting up stream, he spent the entire first part of his show piece by piece taking apart there attempts at logic and showing exactly how they are now everything they once condemned , but the problem is people to the far side of ANY political view. if it be left or right, are so warped up in there own BS that logic cannot get past it.

but keep fighting the good fight jon, we are here for you!!




i have been planing to review some comics on this blog but by the time i get time to do it i am usaly a week behind on the comics i want to review, so even though i don't have time, i want to do some quick reviews. (some may be from last week and some from this)

Batgirl #1

good intro to the new (ongoing?) series, like how you don't have to wait 14+ issues to find out who new batgirl is *coughrulkcough* ended on a good clifhanger and i hope they focus on what the hell happened to cassandra cain she is one of my fave characters and they totaly have been under using her in the last several years

Blackest night: superman #1

liked it better than the batman one loved the showing of mixed emotions, which has been lacking in other blackest night series', i was wondering if it was possable to be more than one at a time. and it semed much more emotionaly drivin than the batman one.

Ultimate avengers #1

interesting, once again find out who red skull is (kinda) in the first issue, but the whole issue is one fight scene and not much depth

Ultimate spiderman #1 (last #1 i swear)

much more full and rounded story than avengers, interesting twists, cliffhangers and peter working at a fast food restaurant. we even get to see a story that could of came straight off notalwaysright.com classic parker

Invincible #65

nice warping up to past events, setting up next storylines, and character developments, seriously still in this transitional issue probably the best superhero comic in print. but i still have no idea why they bothered to increass Atom Eve's boob size... seemed out of character to me.

there you have it friends and random people who are fallowing my blog, a good decient update, i really need to do this more.

Comic Review: Invincible 59

this is a stand alone issue so it is a good one to review.

first off a little back history. i love this comic, i didn't manage to get on board right at the start of the series but it has won me over.

its about a young boy (at first) named mark who's father (omni-man) is his worlds greatest hero (Ala superman) he comes from another world in order to protect ours.

so mark grows up knowing one day he will develop powers like his father's (maybe not as strong as he is half human)

one day while working at the burger place after high school he launches a bag of garbage into orbit (it lands a few issues latter i think in Russia)

he starts to develop more powers and starts training with his father and becomes the hero Invincible.

only there is a slight problem, Omni-man was actually sent to earth to conquer it, he has just been having fun playing hero for all these years, but he has started killing other heroes.

Mark disgusted with his fathers actions confronts him and they have an all out super brawl. the kind of comic legend.

in this fight much damage is caused to the world.

that leads us into this issue (well besides teh 50 issues in the middle).

during there fight there was casualty's and one man, Scott, lost someone very dear to him, his sister Jessica.

He blames Invincible and is convinced that he and Omni-man staged the whole thing to endure Invincible to the public after Omni-man was outed.

he is a scientist and steals new technology from his work in order to bust his existing energy absorption and manipulation powers to a level where he can confront Invincible. thus becoming POWERPLEX (they can't all be good names)

the genius (mmm meatballs) of this issue is Scott's relationship with his wife and son.

His wife is completely supportive of his choice to fight Invincible and actually gets mad when he goes looking for him with out telling her so she could be there to watch.

after a few failed attempts to coax Invincible out (he keeps getting second rate heroes) by 'attacking' (all he does is destroy some cars and such) the public he finally hatches a plan to 'kidnap' his wife and son and hold them hostage till Invincible shows up.

Finaly he arrives and they fight, Scott holds his own quite well, but ends up getting so worked up that he over uses his powers and Kills his own wife and son. turning the story from an emotional tale of loss to a devastating lesson in reality. though Scott misses the lesson and now blames Invincible for the death of his wife and son along with that of his sister.

the story has little face time for our favourite teen alien hero but is both humours and deeply emotional.
