Graphic Novel Review: Kick-Ass

After seeing the movie, I had to read the comic. Kick-Ass is by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.. Well if you've never read it or seen the movie, the comic is about an average kid who day dreams about super-heroes and fighting crime, but actually takes it to the next level and tries if for himself. After his first encounter, he get severely injured, and then out of nowhere gets hit by a car. After many surgery procedures, he aquired a couple metal plates in his skull and reinforced in other areas. So with this tragedy, comes rebirth, by becoming somewhat immune to pain, allows him to kind of fulfill his dream. On his journey, he meets a rag-tag team of real super-heroes who are trained killers that stop at nothing for justice to put an end to a large crime mob. At the beginning of the climax of the comic, it starts with a major twist, but ends with poetic justice. If you haven't read it but seen the movie, you won't find most of the filler drama, but all straight intense storyline. The art in this comic is awesome. I love how the artist intensifies the action and the intense violence, it really makes it what it is. Id recommend this graphic novel to anyone who enjoyed the movie or is a fan of intense action. I really enjoyed reading it and finished it in one sitting, it was intense and straight to the point, you can't complain. Thanks for reading and please follow the blog.

Movie Review: Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics

After going to the library, I came across this DVD: Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics, which is a documentary on the life of DC Comics (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.), and was narrated by Ryan Reynolds (played in the new Green Lantern film). This movie showed the start of DC to what it is today. The documentary went through the golden age to the modern age, and talked about it's different publishers like Vertigo, etc. It talked about how the world shaped the comics and also how they've evolved over the years with authors like Frank Miller and Alan Moore, and also talked about the different type of media that has been used to share the experience. All and all I really found this a fascinating movie that gave me some history I didn't know about, and helped me learn how this great company came about. I'd recommend this for anyone who enjoys comics and likes documentaries. Thanks for reading and please follow the blog.

Future Planing

Alright well, just to give you some future planing. About the reviews, their going to start being only newer graphic novels, movies, games. Were going to start doing some contests to get a better following and more traffic. Also, still in talks, but were thinking about switching to a more professional domain. I'll update you more on that and give you the url and stuff when it happens. But, for right now, we'll still be reviewing a couple old things until some packages come. Thanks for reading and expect some great things for the future of Semi-unbiased Review, thanks and please follow the blog.
