Star Trek into darkness

Well I finally saw the movie I've been waiting to see and I have to tell you I had some mix feelings about it. First off, I've never watched the original Star Trek Kahn movie so I would know much about how they both are similar ( I shall watch it this week though). The second thing is I brought a real Star Trek fan to the movie and he almost cried from it which is saying something. I felt so bad and still do!

How I felt? I overall thought the movie wasn't bad. It wasn't as good as I hoped it would be but it wasn't bad. I've only ever watched 1 episode of the first Star Trek, a couple next gen. which is my favorite so far and maybe one or two of the other series. With that being said I don't know any or very much about the original Star Trek. 

I feel both are good though. Most people just want to watch the new one because it "looks cool" or "it has good graphics" but what about the older show? Yes I will admit I felt the same way when I watched the one in 2009 but I also thought it sounded interesting. I watched some of the older stuff and liked it a lot. The JJ Abrams one isn't like the older one but I feel it was trying to get every generation to watch something based on the older show must twisted in a new way.  Yes it's not like the old show but times are changing really fast. People are wanting more movies with graphics and I will admit sometimes we don't need them. There's nothing wrong with filming a movie with little graphics and a good solid storyline. 

Like I said I don't know much about it and a lot of people out there (the true fans) WILL NOT agree with me but hey, it dost hurt to watch both and compare them even if it hurts you a little or a lot. Maybe one day I can finally finish watching all the episodes and truly decide for myself which was better or if they both were good. Who knows? :)

Superman

Everyone keeps talking about this new Superman movie. What I think? I could really care less. I don't like superman enough to care about the movie. It's probably going to be bad anyway. I watched the trailer and it looks like the movie is going a bit over with the graphics. It looks a little to fake. 

Why don't you like superman many of you are thinking? His really boring to me. Never really liked him as a kid either just like Wonder Woman. I liked the other superheroes from the JLA like the green arrow and flash. My speedster and arrow shooters! They made the show awesome :D Anyway...... I'll watch it when it comes out on DVD unless someone makes me go to it in theater's. other than that eh, it's probably going to be bad. Maybe it will prove me wrong but I highly doubt it. The worse news I heard after the looking at the superman movie was that their going to make a Wonder Woman movie .... YUCK >xP

Comics

It's been about a year since I started collecting comics and I have to say I'm happy! I have so many comics, a lot I still have to read but I'm slowly reading them all and a lot of series I like.

I would say I pored a lot of money into comics as does any comic collector and I have to say I'm not regretting it. Since I started I would say I've learned a good bit about comics, the heroes and the villains. Not enough to say I made a dent. There's just so much I have to learn still! Also since I started collecting comics I've made a bunch of friends. Down at my fav comic place (C & C's comic shop located in Saturday's market in Middletown PA)  they tell me some good comic series to read. I learned a lot about heroes and there villains with marvel and DC trading cards and reading about them too. I also learn about different things that happens in the marvel history line like the civil war and the secret invasion. 

One thing I love about collecting comics is just reading the story's! There are so many good ones out there that I've read and had my friends read. That's how you get a person hooked on comics. Let them read it or talk about it all the time until they check it out for themselves. Thing I hate.... waiting for new comic to come out when marvel teases us with previews. That's one thing the other is finding a good comic shop with comics you know you'll buy. My fav shop and maybe one other that I go to sometimes has a lot of stuff I want or like but other than that the other comic shops usually have card games going on and they hide half of the comics. 

I proud of my collection so far. I've learned about heroes like Ant man, my first superhero that caught my eye and villains like arcade. I hope to learn about more and hopefully I can share more about my comic experience's as a collector. :)

Villain's that caught my eye #12

I actually haven't had many DC people reviewed for the hero's and villain's that caught my eye so I decided I should do a few since I'm starting to know DC a bit better and them. I thought I would review Knockout!

This lovely red head is a stripper at Boom boom room durning the night and a villain in the day time. Guys I would watch out if I were you, make her mad and she can probably send you flying the whole way to China! Not sure if she actually could but I wouldn't doubt it :P





Knockout first introduced in Superboy #2 ( maybe elsewhere but that's where I heard about her) was probably on of the super villain girls I actually like. I don't care much for the girl villains and heroes but Every now and then ill find some i like. She's defiantly one of them! She loves to pick fights with Superboy and even flirts with him a lot :P Later in Superboy Knockout teams up with him and a few others in a team called the Suicide squid to take down the Silence dragons and is presumed dead after the base blows up but is saved by king shark. Knockout reappears to help Superboy in more battles latter on in the series.

Age of Ultron

Everyone always hears about a new comic series that's going to come out months ahead of time and are even teased with sneak peaks of them. This has been out for awhile now and I was so excited! I held off reading it for a bit since I have som any things to read but once the 3rd for 4th one came out I had to read it because everyone is saying it sucks.


I read it then and I have to say it wasn't as I hoped it would be. It looked so cool. How can you mess that up? Just reading it, it's really slow even though the writers put a lot of time into creating it. The art work I thought was really good. I don't know I thought it would be a little different. From the picture they showed us it looked like Ultron was back to fight the avengers again.



If they did that I thought it would if been cooler. They don't really have Hank Pym in it at all. I saw him in the 6th issue that's about it. I know there going to show him more in the upcoming issues. I saw a sneak peek and he looks awesome! If you want to check it out go for it but its not what I thought it would be. Other than that its not bad :)

Ant man

Since I'm in the ant man mood I decided to read another comic my friend found me when messing around at a few comic shops (which was fun!) This was a different kid of ant man story which I thought was very interesting.

In this story Janet ( known as Giant girl in this story) is helping the avengers fight some alien bugs but gets distracted by her father calling her. First things first why the hell would you be on your cellphone when your battling alien bugs? That's the first thing I thought was weird. Her father is telling her they Hank has been missing for days and wants her to stop by the lab.


Of course she has a crush on Hank and for the once she actually isn't acting like a bitch in a comic. I thought she was actually cool in this one. Another thing that surprised me is Spider-Man is in the avengers helping them fight and helps Janet through out the story. I thought the avengers hated Spider-Man? Anyway Spider-Man and Giant girl go to the lab and see what's going on. He tells them Hank has been missing for days and took all his research with him and even his helmet ( it was recently just made and new to everyone). Janet also meets Hank's assistance Erik Josten who is obsessed with Janet. He knows she likes Hank and is trying everything to get her to notice him and even date him. Totally not going to work.


While walking through the lab Spider-Man sees a trail of ants that spell out "This way" and even an arrow that shows the way they want him to go. He finds " Ant man" really tiny hanging out with the ants at the ant hill. Too tiny to hear Hank shrinks Spider-Man down to ant size and tells him his been researching ants for a few days and has even emailed Erik. Erik knew the whole time because Janet went through his deleted mail to find that Hank has been emailing him the whole time giving data and even telling him all his discovers. She was really mad and even tryed waking out but Erik.

Mad at him Janet walks out and Erik walks in the lab to get a yellow pym particle suite to show off the Janet but fights her instead. Spider-Man gets returned to normal size the help him and Hank even calls the avengers but they were useless in this battle. Erik just takes there aircraft and throws it at Janet apologizes after he does it saying he would never hurt her. Dude you just threw it at her!

Hank uses his pym particles and beats him up a little knocking him out and saves the day. Captain America asks him if his ever considered being a superhero but he says no he belongs in the lab. Is that all the avengers ever do? just ask everyone that saves there butts to be on there team because they always get beat up?

I thought it was a fun issue about ant man. Different from him fighting and saving people's life's. I would recommend it if you have nothing else to read or just see it at your local comic store. Worth the read. :)

Why ant man doesn't suck

SOME people out there think ant man is a really useless marvel character but I on the other hand think he isn't. Part of the reason I feel that way is because I think his cool and my favorite superhero. If I didn't like him, I think his important because he made Ultron, one of the Avengers enemy's and his also one of the worlds smartest scientists so yea his really important. He created a lot of things the avengers use ( other than Tony and Reed's creations) and also things to help people.


Some people I know say his useless because he rides, talks and even fights besides ants and bugs. So what! I think that's really cool! Yea I'm sure you could of thought of a better superhero but still I feel his better than aqua man. I think his pretty useless. Sure I'll read his comics every now and then but his useless to me. Hank is way cooler.

This is just my opinion on Hank and why I feel his important. He saved a lot of people and even accidentally created a villain that is the the talk of marvel right now with the age of Ultron. His not a bad person and I feel he did a lot of good things in his comic career besides him losing his mind at one point. Other than that mess of his life ( which any superhero messes up and even looses their mind. I mean look at Tony, he was an alcoholic) his done so much to change the marvel world.
