Wolverine: Origins

Another conflict between book and movie. Like "Watchmen" some people out there are mumbling about the making of a classic graphic novel into a movie. I thought the previous X-Men were made well. Well, I consider anything with Halle Barry in it to be an instant hit. I'm looking forward to see what the producers have done with Origin.

I know the movie has been leaked onto the web but for those of you who like to wait...here's the trailer:



Don't forget to get you tickets to CON!!! July is just around the corner...

Fables - The Good Prince (Volume 10)

Story by: Bill Willingham | Art by: Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha | $12.99 USD, $17.50 CAN | vertigocomics.com





Brilliant yet again. I know I'm a sucker for all things "fairytale" but Fables does a great job at expounding on the lives of these magical folks in the mundy world. This volume focuses on the much-loved Flycatcher and his journey/struggle after remembering the fall of his world (and family). He's guided by someone we've seen since volume 1 (although this guide never spoke much before). Will The Good Prince be able to live up to the name despite his pain and anger?

Buy buy buy!


Wow. Comic-Con attendance is out of control! Last year it was packed...I can only imagine what it'll be like this year. But I do like that they have this little meter up so you know when you need to hustle and buy tickets.
