Story by: Allan Heinberg | Art by: Terry Dodson | $2.99 USD, $4.00 CAN| dccomics.com


Circe as WW is kicking butt! But, I guess the ends don't justify the means. heh. Diana & Hercules head to Circe's Greek island home to try and set things right. Diana does look better in the outfit.

Hercules is here & man is he annoying!! heh. Circe appears in a some really well colored pages. Looks like she's taking over WW duties. Uhoh!

Wonder Woman - Issue #2

Story by: Allan Heinberg | Art by: Terry Dodson | $2.99 USD, $4.00 CAN| dccomics.com


Diana's trying to figure out who she is. She has figured out that her & her new partner, Nemesis, don't see eye to eye (but I'm sure that will change). All the bad guys, well....mostly girls are out and they demand Wonder Woman. Thankfully, she's about to do a little twirl but is stopped by.....!

Wonder Woman - Issue #1

Story by: Allan Heinberg | Art by: Terry Dodson | $2.99 USD, $4.00 CAN| dccomics.com



I thought I'd throw the second picture in for fun. heh. So, this issue begins the new Wonder Woman. The first arc being "Who is Wonder Woman?" Well, it looks like Diana has stepped out of her role as WW and into the new role as Agent Diana Prince. She's had some others step in but now Minerva wants the REAL WW to come out and play. Should be interesting!

The Mighty Avengers - Issue #4

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis & Frank Cho | Art by: Jason Keith | $2.99 USD, $3.75 CAN| marvel.com

Ultron just got hotter. Plus, even she recognizes our fascination with the end of the world. Plus, Ares kicks a$$! Well, not really a surprise but still fun. Black Widow's pissed 'cause it appears that Stark is dead & it's about to hit the fan. Plus, Sentry's going to have some more issues to deal with. Oy.

The Mighty Avengers - Issue #3

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis & Frank Cho | Art by: Jason Keith | $2.99 USD, $3.75 CAN| marvel.com


Sentry's finally stepping up. SHIELD has a new leader and I think Ares is in love. Awww....

The Mighty Avengers - Issue #2

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis & Frank Cho | Art by: Jason Keith | $2.99 USD, $3.75 CAN| marvel.com


Uh-oh...Ultron's back! And boy does she look familiar. The team's confused and angry (like most teams I'd say). Now if they could just find Tony...

New Avengers - Issue #33

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis | Art by: Leinil Yu | $2.99 USD, $3.75 CAN| marvel.com

After the Civil War, Luke Cage, Spidey, Wolverine & Spider-Woman went underground. They meet up with Ronin, Dr. Strange & Iron Fist & head to Japan. Now, the group is back in the states & they're all paranoid. Plus, a creepy new creature shows up.

The Mighty Avengers - Issue #1

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis & Frank Cho | Art by: Jason Keith | $2.99 USD, $3.75 CAN| marvel.com

Post Civil War, now there's a new team. I must admit I do tend to side with the Cap but maybe Stark's got it figured out. Anywho...it'll be interesting to see if these guys can get it together.

New Avengers - Issue #31

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis | Art by: Leinil Yu | $2.99 USD, $3.75 CAN| marvel.com



First off, the top picture is a varient that I got at (surprise, surprise) Comic-Con. heh. So....I apparently missed ALOT between issues 27-30. I'm going to ComicsNStuff tomorrow to try and remedy this. The cover looks great though doesn't it?! Best line in this issue? "It's a Ninja tea party." Haha. Great fight scenes & wonderful last couple of pages.

New Avengers - Issue #26

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis | Art by: Alex Maleev | $2.99 USD, $3.75 CAN| marvel.com

Interesting art. Very Gustav Klimt. So Hawkeye is back! And he's on a mission to find the Scarlet Witch. Obviously, his brain insn't all back together yet, 'cause he makes a big whoopsie!

New Avengers - Issue #25

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis | Art by: Jim Cheung | $2.99 USD, $3.75 CAN| marvel.com


Watch out for those disgruntled employees man! And it turns out that Commander Hill isn't a total biatch.

New Avengers - Issue #24

Story by: Brian Michael Bendis | Art by: Pascual Ferry | $2.99 USD, $3.75 CAN| marvel.com



I really like the Bendis/Ferry team. Or maybe I'm just partial to Capt. America. ANYWAY, the Sentry has some issues that he's trying to work out. He also gives a great summary of the roots of the Civil War (in case you didn't know). I sure wish he'd ignore a certain billionaire though.

Zero Killer - Issue 1

Story by: Arvid Nelson | Art by: Matt Camp | $2.99 USD| darkhorse.com

Post-apocalyptic New York. A favorite setting for many authors. Here a hero arises out of a gang "protected" city. There are a lot of questions here, but it does leave me wanting to read more. Plus, I like to see some diversity in the comic world.

The Flash - Issue 13

Story by: Marc Guggenheim | Art by: Tony Daniel | Not for resale | dccomics.com


So, I've never read The Flash before but I love this cover! He looks sooo sleeeeepy. hehe. It looks like The Flash's reign as the "Fastest Man Alive" is about to end. Great art.

MORAV

Story by: M. Zachary Sherman | Art by: Budi Setiawan | Not for resale | morav.net


"The Future of Robotic Warfare Begins Now" is the subtitle. A subtitle that I can get behind. Robots & War? Yes please! heh. Too bad I don't see any robots in this issue! Owell. I guess that's what they call back story. If you go to the website above, there's a cool picture of what this robot domination might look like.

All in all, an alright read for being free. =D Thanks again Comic-Con!

Heroes - Issue #2

Story by: Aron Eli Coleite | Art by: Micah Gunnell | Not for resale | Helix Comics Group (if you're a Heroes nerd you'll get that reference)

Now that I have officially mourned the passing of Comic-Con 2007, let us get back to the books. =) Because of my addictive personality however, I do have to touch on Comic-Con a little.

Heroes, the comic book! If you haven't already, check out the cool comics online. The one that I have is Chapter 5, I think they're up to Chapter 49 now. Here's the online novel library.

Chapter 5 gives us nice little insights into the back stories of these "heroes." Want a copy? Too bad it was a Comic-Con exclusive. hehe. But you can print it online.

Indiana Jones Lego game

Check out the trailer for this game. So cute!

Comic-Con, Sunday

Sunday was a short day too, but it wasn't my fault! The hall closed at 5pm rather than 7pm. Sad.

Comic-Con San Diego style

Me & my favorite DC colorist, Randy Mayor

The Fables panelists

Fabulous dessert at Lou & Mickey's

Bye, bye Comic-Con 2007!

Comic-Con, Saturday

I had been taking the trolley to the Con. Today I was taxied via a boat. Sweet! heh. I did a short day on Saturday. It turned out to not be as crowded as I was expecting, which turned out to hurt the retailers at the Con. Without the sales of one-day passes, there was no new blood. On to more pictures...

View of the convention center from the bay

Just another day at the Con

Slave Leia and I

There were lots of cardboard signs this weekend

Dr. Zoidberg & I

Marvel unveiled the new Iron Man armor

Comic-Con, Friday

Friday was Star Wars Day & despite having 5 panels marked to go to...I only made it to one. Yes, one. The lines were so long I wasn't able to hop from panel to panel like I had planned. O'well. Enjoy the pictures!

The Dark Side wants you!

A couple Jedi & a Storm Trooper (?)

Wolverine & Lady Deathstrike working it at the Marvel booth

The day ended with me saving yet another civilian.

Comic-Con, Thursday

First off, the line for Pre-Reg badge pickup was about 3 hours. Yes, three hours. Madness. It gives you an insight to the number of people attending Comic-Con this year. Thankfully, picking up my press pass was a breeze.


At the Occult Crimes Taskforce panel:
The main attraction for me on Thursday was the Rosario Dawson: O.C.T .Panel. Mostly because I'm a big RENT fan. heh. She was very entertaining and I might just have to pick up a copy of OCT's first (and only) trade paperback. The panel included Tony Shasteen's artist strategy. Shasteen does the penciling, inking & coloring all himself. Whew!

Where the magic happened

Writer David Atchison & Rosario Dawson doing some press at their booth

Around the Convention Center:

The master, Bruce Lee (in miniature form) @ the Slideshow Collectibles booth

I love these guys!

At the Lionsgate panel:
Good Luck Chuck isn't exactly Con material but I guess you can't go wrong with Jessica Alba right? I only stayed for the first part of the panel. The Fox moderator needed to work on his material.

The Fire Marshal closed down access into Hall H for the Lionsgate panel.

Storm's Homegirl was able to get in. =D

Hi Dane Cook

Jessica Alba was there too. Needless to say, the crowd went nuts.

Alba & Cook with director, Mark Helfrich

They showed a phone sex clip from the movie. Alba said that she was able to do alot of physical comedy (which she enjoyed). After discussion & clips of the movie, there was a Q&A session. The movie comes out September 21.

At the Lost Season 4 panel:

The funny producers gave away some nice insider tidbits for Season 4. They were happy that they finally have an end date for the show and now they can get on with the story line without having to add "filler." They announced that "Michael" is coming back as a regular cast member! During the Q&A session, someone asked, "Who's in the coffin?" Cuse & Lindelof refused to answer, but Harold Perrineau ("Michael") guessed it was "Locke." The producers also said that they will be going into "Libby's" story this year. They played a clip for the new Lost video game & a little clip for us from the Dharma Initiative. This next season should be a good one! Shooting starts in four weeks.

Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof

At the Fanboys panel:
Man, this movie looks funny. The movie's set back when Star Wars: Episode 1 was about to come out. There's a group of friends (all in LOVE with Star Wars) but one of the group members has a terminal illness and won't make it to see the movie when it comes out. The solution? Break into Skywalker Ranch and steal the film before it comes out of course! View the trailer here.

It was a long but fun day. I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend.
