Avengers Arena





I didn't start reading this comic because some people said it wasn't that good and I probably wouldn't like it. It was up until my friends told me Arcade was the main villain and the group of avengers are stuck in murderworld fighting each other to survive. That was all I had to hear so I got what they had. I got issue 1 and 4. Still need to get 2 and 3 whenever I get time to go to the comic store but I don't know when I can :P ( other then my regular shop I go to)


The first one I thought was good. It started to unfold the story to the reader like every 1st issue. Arcade in it I will say is different. He has magic powers and he grew his hair out long which is ok. Personally I like it better short and flicked out. Makes him look more crazy and I didn't really see his big smirky smile on his face. Maybe it's in the other issues but I will say its awesome so far! I just can't wait to get the others to read but I have so many comics I want right now!


I did find some comic shops with more comics of Arcade I'll have to check out sometime. Until then I shall be reading the comics I have and catch up on a few story's I haven't completed yet.






Loki'd video

http://www.mtv.com/videos/movies/765213/lokid-with-tom-hiddleston.jhtml








I saw this video awhile back and I have to say its really funny. Sorry if there is no video up its not on YouTube. If you know Tom Hiddleston the guy that played Loki in avengers you should watch this. It's a whole new side of him and you won't regret it :D

Hero's that caught my eye #7





I've always liked Captain America. He is the coolest, most original and well known among everyone. The stars and strips go a long way with him. Fighting evil and saving life's while rocking that American flag he wears proudly on him.


I have many comics with him in like avengers and maybe 2 just about him. I also have a really big trade book that shows his older comics. Most still need read like usual with me. My collection is big and just keeps growing so more for me to read :P

I know him enough to tell you some stuff. ( I think everyone knows this stuff though) Steve Rogers tried to enroll in the army during WW2 but got denied every time due to him being so weak and a lot if health issues but that didn't stop him from trying. Finally someone saw he wanted to go in so they told him they had a secret soldier serum that could make him taller, faster and above all stronger than anyone. The procedure went perfect until one of the red skull's (hydra's men) shot the Doctor that made the experiment work forever loosing the ability to reproduce it for others. Steve Rogers then set out fighting hydra's men and saving people's life's with his partner Bucky.




I don't know much about Bucky other then he was his younger sidekick. I shall have to read the comics and learn more about him. Until then Captain America will save the world risking his life for everyone. Cool thing is I have a Captain America sweatshirt where the hood goes over your face to form a mask. I even cosplayed as him at a comic-con with my own hand made shield which was awesome!

The Avengers 2





If you haven't watched the avengers your a total noob. It's the greatest movie ever! When I watched this movie I realized how cool superheroes were. This wasn't the only superhero movie I watched. I've watched iron man, fantastic 4, spiderman and just about ever x men movie but never thought about it much.


It wasn't until I walked out of the movie theater I thought about reading the comics of it and my brother and sister got some for me. I then watched Thor, Captain America, and any other superhero movie I haven't (still have ones I haven't watched yet).

For certain I know I am extremely excited for the second movie to come out like everyone else. Ant man, the wasp and Doctor strange and going to be in it which is awesome! I heard Johnny Depp will be playing Doctor Strange but I'm not sure who is going to play the wasp and Ant Man. Personally I think he will be good.





Not much is being said about it now because of Marvel filming Thor, finishing Iron Man 3, gardens of the Galaxy, Ant man and so on but all I can say is its going to be worth the wait. Even for Ant man in 2015. I wish it wasn't that long but for him I can wait!

Avengers academy Arcade death game







I finally got around to reading a trade I should of read awhile ago. Things don't go as I plan them to go it seems. You get too busy and can't do much.

The story starts out with the young avengers getting the day off to relax and have fun without getting into trouble. As things always goes trouble finds them. There all captured and taken to Arcades tiny murderworld to face his evil games. I actually don't want to ruin this story of arcade because I think it's one you should check out. Too much to describe with the games and all and is better left for you all to read if your interested. Overall I thought it was good my things that I didn't like much were Arcades murder methods he used. It seemed to me he played around too much and didn't try to kill his victims like he usually does. The other thing was the facial style for him. What the heck is with the black blob around his eyes? Personally I think his cooler with his flicked out orange hair and the huge smile on his face. Funny thing is I like to flick my hair out too. It looks cool :P




One other thing I will say I liked about the comic was the extra's at the end. They showed 2 bonus comics arcade was in and the very last page of the book showed his whole profile which is awesome! I think I will blog about that later when I learn a bit more about his methods and more about him too. So if your a fan like me or just looking for something to read to pass the time check out this book. It's worth reading.

Excalibur






I've recently gotten a few Excalibur comics mostly because I knew Arcade was in it ( my fav villain) but I have to say I really like them. Some of the ones I thought Arcade was in he wasn't or I picked up the ones I remembered seeing the cover of when researching the comics. They were all really good and kept my attention the whole time.



Out of the whole team I think Captain Britain is my favorite. His the leader but I can tell his goal other then saving the world/day is making sure his team is in one piece and everyone is ok. That's what I like about heroes. They care about everyone else and would risk there life for everyone. Most of you are probably thinking well isn't that what they all do? Well yea it is but most of them don't put that much effort in that. I think I'm going to have to get more of there comics next time I go to the comic shop. When I learn more I'll probably do a full Excalibur blogpost on everyone. Until then I got some reading to do on them :D

Smoking in general





I know for a fact I will never smoke. It's bad for you and if you do it your basically asking to die faster.

Why talk about smoking when everyone already knows and doesn't care? Well my parents smoke and I always harass them about it telling them there just going to die.

I can't stand it. They smoked when I was little and I stopped after I told them so many times to stop. It worked for awhile and then they started again due to "stress". I get that stress can make you do that but still find a better way then killing yourself slowly with every puff.

I bet my lungs are bad from smelling it so much and wouldn't doubt it if I have second hand smoke. A lot of kids I know say there parents smoke inside the house and they have to deal with it which is horrible. No one should do that to there kids but like others say " it's there parents choice to do that not ours". Which is a poor excuse.

Let me just say I think smoking is wrong. You all have so much to live for in life. It's abdicating as all would say but it's never to late to stop. This is my favorite quote and I think it would be good to say in this posting: " Life is short, Live while you can." Make the change, it's the first step in succeeding something worth wild in life.

Hero's that caught my eye #6




The uni power, a power source that takes over a hosts body in a time of need. It never stays with one person it always moves to others to help them and will be called Captain Universe! Most people never heard of this power. I know I haven't put I'm still new to everything.


I first got introduced to it by my friend and in these 5 comic series. The uni power took over Daredevil, X-23, invisible women, hulk, and sliver surfer. I thought it was really good. The cool part about the uni power is that when it switches from people to people it learns and gives the ability of strengths it had from its previous host to the person. An example would in the 5 comic book series everyone got a lot of strength due to it being infuse with the Hulk. Daredevil could see and could hear everything better around him which had to be nice for a bit. Feel bad for the guy. His one of the smartest heroes in the prospective of him using his other seances to use and bringing justice to the bad.


Would I recommend people to check it out? Yes I actually would. As I said before not many people heard of it. It kind of died and no one really uses it much. I know spiderman was infused with the uni power at one point and so was others. There are not many comics though. So if your interested go to your local comic shop and check it out.







Villains that caught my eye # 5 and #6




I thought I might as well do these two together since there always fighting each other and they both are from Spiderman.



First up is Carnage. His a cereal killer that escaped from a state run mental institution. Yes! Another crazy person running around! At one point venom agreed to team up with Spiderman his hated enemy to take down carnage. That's saying something if you have to team up with someone you hate. Carnage killed a lot of innocent people because he wanted to and could. He can create weapons from a substance from his outfit which is awesome. His costume is really cool looking and he does tend to loose control but so does venom.




Now venom I consider a big brother of Spiderman and Carnage. Maybe because his bigger then the two? I don't know but I always think he is. Venom is an enemy of spiderman just like carnage and is usually always fighting him. Venom first came in contact with spiderman and he ripped it off of him because of the things it was making him do. The thing with venom and carnage is that they need a host to take over so they can destroy things. My favorite thing about venom is his long tongue and his razor sharp teeth. His also a really fun villain to draw!



Overall between the two I prefer venom. Don't get me wron there both really cool but I like venom really more. Most people think I would like Carnage more because he is basically a cyco path but nope. The only weird part about that is I usually Ike the crazy people. Look what happened to Hank Pym. He went crazy and Arcade is just pure crazy. Guess it all depends :D









Excalibur featuring Arcade









I've been doing a lot of researching over the last few days of comics with arcade in it. First introduced to me in The Thing 2006 comic series and is my number one favorite villain. A lot of people haven't heard of him so I guessing his not a well known person. I know for sure I think his cool!


This whole comic is about arcade. He steals Captain Britain's former girlfriend Courtney Ross and threw her into an Alice in wonderland type of Murderworld. All the Excalibur have switched body's with a variation Tweedle made ( you don't find that out till the end). They all are fighting each other while trying to survive in Murderworld.


While Arcade is watching he says he is really bored already. Right after he says that Shadow cat pops through the computer and says she can change that and drags him into his own little game. She leaves behind her fire breathing dragon so miss Locke and the other guy ( didn't say his name) can't mess with the controls.


Leaving him in his own game he has to survive like the rest of them and in the mean time he has fun with it. Overall I thought it was a really funny arcade comic. The other ones his a little more serious but they are still good. If you don't know who he is or if you do you should check it out. It's worth it.

Top 10 Marvel villains

Get ready for my top 10 Marvel villains! What no DC ones? Yea I only know a few villains from DC. Not enough for me to say I know a bunch and to have a bunch to like. When I find some more I'll do a DC on but now my top 10! ( and for all you skipping down to the end 0_e yea you know who I'm talking about. Your all cheating)






10: Bullseye from Daredevil. He was cool in the movie kind of like a Hawkeye never really missing. He has a mouth on him and sure knows how to get a party started!









9: Fin Fang Foom a big Dragon. Reminds me of a big Godzilla. He loves to trash the place and leave his mess behind for people to clean up.









8: Carnage from Spider-Man. Really crazy and gets carried away when his fighting. Other than that he kicks butt!







7: Venom another one from Spider-Man. Personally if I had to pick between him or Carnage fighting I think Venom would win. Any thoughts?










6: Galactus sole survivor of the universe. He also loves to eat planets ( hopefully were not next :o )





5: Magneto from X- men and the Scarlet Witches, and Quickslivers Father.









4: The Grim reaper the guy with the scythe! Don't get on his bad side though. I saw someone say something he didn't want to hear and he sliced them for it. Personally I don't want to be cut in half by him.






3: Doom doom doom doom! Doctor Doom well know the everyone especially the Fantastic Four. Known for hating almost everyone and everything.






2: Loki! God of Mischief and brother of Thor. Or if you saw in avengers as Thor would say " his adopted" :P



1: The one and only ARCADE! I wish he was in more comics though. It was a tuff choice between him and Loki but I can't let arcade down in the dirt.






Hard to choice people when you can only pick a few and have to order them from 1-10. Try it sometime you'll be surprised who is 1st and who is last!

Top 10 Heroes from DC and Marvel

I have a lot of people I like from the Marvel and DC worlds but I think it's time I decide who is my favorite

First off I'll start off with the heroes:

10: Mister Miracle I've always had a soft spot for him. His a really cool hero and I love it when Blue Beetle and Booster bug him!



9: Impulse is another one of theses fast runners but from the future. I always liked the idea of running really fast.


8: Hawkeye a man that knows how to shoot with a bow and arrow! You need an extra eye give him a call.


7: Speed another fast runner. I love his hair and jealous of his googles. I always wanted a pair. His a funny kid and the brother of Wiccan.

6: Daredevil, a blind superhero but he can sure kick some butt!



5: Who ever doesn't know this super hero is a noob. A funny and crazy hero if you would call him that.



4: Blue beetle, a superhero recommended by a friend. I like him better then the new one and he has a sense of humor here and there.


3: Captain America one of the original heroes. I've always liked him and his shield is awesome!


2: This one was hard. I fight between Superboy and the number one choice. Recommended by a friend and I'll never stop loving this kid!




1: The one and only Ant Man! I love all the ant man's! It's hard to pick which one I love more but if I had to pick it would be Hank Pym. There would of been no Ant Man without him!







It's really hard to choose which heroes you like and put them on a list of 1-10. It took me awhile to pick them out but who knows, since I'm still learning about superheroes the list might change in the future but I know for sure Ant man and Superboy aren't going to change :D

Hero's that caught my eye #5






For me doing these heroes and villain's that caught my eye are fun. I like to share my opinions on heroes, telling you what I think is cool about them and whatever else I want to say. For this one the hero is Spiderman.








At first I never really cared for this wall climbing hero but now I think his interesting. I watched those older Spiderman movies staring Tobey Maguire and I thought they were ok. When it came to the third one I really didn't like it but I heard he just wanted to ruin the movie. The new movie The Amazing Spiderman was really good. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see it at first because I remembered the other ones weren't that good and thought it was another add on to the older ones.

My friend Taylor finally convinced me and we went to see it. It was amazing! ( that's why it's called amazing Spider-Man :P ) I got into a few starter comics then. In them Spider-Man is really goofy and funny. I never knew he acted that way but I like it! A new twist and creativity.


I know the issue #700 marked the end of the amazing Spider-Man series but the superior spider man is the on running new series based on it. Haven't gotten my paws on it yet but I hope to soon. Cool part is I heard Peter has a mad scientist look going on at times which is awesome! I asked my mom for a lab coat to wear because it would be cool. Still never got one yet..... Still waiting for one too!
