I'll preface this with the fact that I loved the Nolan Batman movies, and was really let down by Star Trek and IM3 this summer. They just felt been there done that...but this..

I loved it.

I'm seeing a crazy divide in reviews and discussion, and I really think this may be a generational thing, or...maybe a nostalgia thing? The movie is uncompromisingly modern and barely even attempts to do what has come before. Whether thats the old Movies, the cartoons, or TV shows.

I really think if the Donner Superman movies are your thing, then maybe even avoid this. I grew up with them, but they never were my thing.

A lot has been made about the ending being TOO actiony, and I can't fathom that criticism. Its just so huge and really, I've never seen stuff this big before.

I'll be interested in what you all thought. The acting, and the designs, and the deep mythology of Krypton was all just so good. I loved the new dynamic with Lois. And while there weren't a lot of funny bits, they they did show up it was great and a gave you a breather. The religious stuff is there and I think handled really well...it's kind've unavoidable.

I think Superman is this gigantic litmus test. Fans and non fans alike instantly know how he should act and what he should do. This movie really puts that to the test.

Anyways, I was wondering if there was ever a review on the podcast of Superman Vs The Elite. I tried doing a search, but nothing came up. If there was never one, I think it would be cool if the guys did one. Especially in light of the new movie. I know it's made me want to go back and read some Superman and re-watch the movies!

Nice to meet you all!

Massive heart attack while in Italy. This really sucks. He just had a pilot picked up for HBO/BBC Worldwide, as well.

A hell of an actor, and one that I got to watch work up close a few times on set. He was very nice to the crew on Sopranos--one day a week he would pay for a special addition to the cast and crew dinner (I think it was shrimp? I forget) out of his own pocket.

Although the solicitation text for the issue promises the return, it may take seeing Ryan Stegman's just-released cover for "Scarlet Spider" #21 to fully register that Ben Reilly does indeed appear to be coming back from the grave.

The "Superior Spider-Man" artist posted his cover online late Monday, and fans soon took notice. The art depicts a clash between current Scarlet Spider Kaine and what appears to be Peter Parker's other clone, Reilly, in a sleeveless hoody version of the classic Scarlet Spider torn sweatshirt outfit. Sharp-eyed fans have been quick to point out that it also appears to depict the returning character shooting impact webbing, a specialized derivation of Spider-Man's classic webbing developed and used by Reilly.

(darkhorizons.com) After being seemingly left for dead, the long-in-development film adaptation of Brian K. Vaughn's acclaimed comic series "Y: The Last Man" has suddenly risen from the ashes.

Vulture reports that New Line Cinema has put the project back in action and on the fast track following a very positive response to the latest version of the script from former "Jericho" writers Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia.

In fact the studio has reportedly already begun the process of meeting with directorial candidates to hire for the project. The writing duo came onboard back in March and started afresh, chucking out the previous draft by Carl Ellsworth.

Both DJ Caruso ("Disturbia") and Louis Leterrier ("The Incredible Hulk") were previously attached as directors while Shia LaBeouf and Alicia Keys were linked to star. None of them are expected to return.

The comic follows young amateur escape artist Yorick Brown and his pet monkey Ampersand, the last two men on Earth. Something simultaneously kills every mammal on Earth possessing a Y chromosome - including embryos, fertilized eggs, and even sperm.

Society is plunged into chaos as infrastructures collapse and the surviving women everywhere try to cope with the loss of the men. Yorick goes on a mission to find his girlfriend Beth, who was on vacation in Australia.

I am a long time Marvel Comics fan. I started reading them in 1982 when I was ten. Over the years, I built an impressive collection (if I do say so myself) that I was very proud of. Until...

In 2003 we had a house fire. Thankfully, we didn't loose our home, but my collection was destroyed. And to make things even worse, my home insurance wasn't going to cover the cost to replace my collection. I was so heartbroken, and frustrated, that I gave up comics all together at that time. I went cold turkey and just walked away from the hobby.

Well, cut to today, a decade later. My son is now 10 years old, and I want to pass along to him my love of Marvel Comics. With the use of trade paperback collections, I've been able to give him "the basics" of the Marvel Universe, and he is loving it!

Seeing him enjoy Marvel has made me want to jump back into the hobby. But where to start? A lot has happened in the last ten years! Thankfully, after lurking and reading many great sites and forums (including this one!), I have been able to bring myself up to speed with the major storylines of the last ten years.


Okay, now onto my plea for help...

I have that nerdy quality of being a "complete-ist". Reading the major storylines has been great, but I want to read it all!

I have been searching for a resource that lists all Marvel Comics in the chronological order that they were released. For example, something the list what comics where published in January of 2003, then lists what was release in February of 2003, then March, and so on and so on.

I've been searching for something like this, but I am coming up empty handed. Do you know of a place online that would have such a list? Any help you can provide that points me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read my podt and for any help you may be able to provide.

Excelsior!

(On Location Vacations) The Amazing Spider-Man sequel will begin principal photography next month and they'll be in New York City for a two-week venture. On Location Vacations reports that the production will be in New York from February 12th through the 26th and the film will be shooting under the name "Untitled Columbia Pictures Project." There's no word on where production will move after New York.

Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Martin Sheen are set to reprise their roles for the film. They are joined by Jamie Foxx as Electro, Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson, and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn. It was reported yesterday that Paul Giammatti is in talks to play the Rhino in the film and actress Felicity Jones is up for another unnamed role.

The Amazing Spider-Man sequel is once again being directed by Marc Webb and will hit theaters on May 2, 2014.

For the last year or so, I've had my computer set up so that every day it displays a random cover from 1972 as my desktop wallpaper. (1972 was one of my core "comic-reading-as-a-little-kid" years). You could also do this with, say, all the covers by a certain artist, or all the covers of a certain title, etc. -- whatever floats your boat.

I used a free wallpaper program called "Wallpaper Master" (which can randomly display a cover from a folder with no repeats), an advanced search on Comics.org, and an hour or so to save all those covers into a folder. I've just started to hit repeats, so I'm off in search of "1973" soon.

Being greeted by a new (old) cover every day was WAY more fun then I expected, especially discovering covers that I either never saw as a kid or didn't remember. Here's three that I didn't remember at all...

Enjoy!
