The Best of the Best - January 2010
Getting this out early. Here's a sampling of what struck my fancy in this week's Previews, books to be released for January 2010. No mention of the Blackest Night skip month as we talked about it a few weeks ago. Much of this will be discussed on the podcast this weekend with special guest Jared from Who Cares What You Think Podcast. Onto January's books:
Blackest Night: the Flash #2 (page 59): Look at the sweet cover! One day I shall get my Captain Cold series by Geoff Johns and Scott Kollins
Batman & Robin #7 (page 71): Purposely skipped last month for some reason that MAY Blackest Night related as this arc is called "Blackest Knight." Awesome to see Cameron Stewart with Grant Morrison again.
All-Star Superman vol. 2 TPB (page 87): I'm down with Grant Morrison. Not everything (Batman RIP) but most of it. Glad to see this getting the softcover treatment.
Hitman: 10,000 Bullets TPB (page 88): Garth Ennis's Hitman is FINALLY getting back into print. I need to fill in the holes on my book shelf!
Joe the Barbarian (page 108): More Grant Morrison! Scoff away! It's an interesting premise, an eight issue maxi series and the first issue is a DOLLAR! At least give it a try!
the Losers vol. 1 & 2 (page 114): I missed out on this initially and I became a late fan of Andy Diggle with the Green Arrow: Year One book and have been following him on Thunderbolts and Daredevil. And appearantly, this is being made into a movie.
the Walking Dead #69 (page 157): I don't mention this book enough here or in the podcast. This book rocks every month in it's bleakness and depression. And those are the strong points. THE book I look forward to the most every month.
SEIGE!(page M4-M10): For those of you who heard episode #13 of the podcast, you know I checked out Dark Avengers #10 and really dug it. So much so, I'm searching out the past non-Utopia issues and Seige as well. My only real concern with all this is Bendis himself said (words to the effect of) "People are sick of huge crossovers so we're keeping this event to four issues." Which is correct, IF you don't count the OTHER four issue mini series, the three additional one shots and the three Avengers books it's crossing over into, it's nearly the size of Blackest Night. This is the return to the Avengers of Captain America, Thor and Iron Man. I'll be checking out the Bendis written stuff at least.
Amazing Spider-Man #617-619 (page M21-M23): The Gauntlet continues as the old Spidey villains come back, bigger and badder. This month, it's the Rhino and Mysterio.
Black Widow: Deadly Origins #3 (page 30): There's something about this cover that is just odd to me. Maybe because most of Adi Granov's covers were on cosmic stuff.
Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man #59 (page M47): Outside of Scott Kollins, Scottie Young is probably my favorite current comic artist. This cover looks like som much fun!
Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #7 (page M71): Speaking of fun, this is the begining of the Deadpool Corps! I get the joke of Deadpool and I'm finally glad that Marvel does as well.
Star Trek Captain's Log: Sulu (page 241): I'd don't follow Star Trek very closely and their comics even less. But it's George Takai! Oh my!
Blackest Night: the Flash #2 (page 59): Look at the sweet cover! One day I shall get my Captain Cold series by Geoff Johns and Scott Kollins
Batman & Robin #7 (page 71): Purposely skipped last month for some reason that MAY Blackest Night related as this arc is called "Blackest Knight." Awesome to see Cameron Stewart with Grant Morrison again.

Paranormal Activity
Ah, Paranormal Activity the little horror film that (hopefully) could. At this point, with cover stories on MSNBC, AOL, NPR, etc. many of you know about it, but have not seen it due to it's very limited release. As of today, it is on six screens with ten more added this weekend.
There is a more afoot at www.Eventful.com/ParanormalActivity where YOU can demand that it comes to your hometown and if they get one million requests (currently at 400,000) the movie will open nationwide.
I have seen it, making the trip to State College last weekend with questionable characters and I'm NOT going to spoil anything. This is one of those films every horror movie fan should see. There are comparisons to be made to the Blair Witch Project and other "found footage " movies, but this one is very well done.
All of this got me thinking, though. Paramount/Dreamworks, the distributors of Paranormal Activity, have been sitting on this film for over two years. Many studios fail miserably in releasing horror films either at the wrong time (August), the wrong way (PG-13) or against established properties (the Saw films).
The Saw movies have dominated Halloween weekend for the last five years with films of varying quality. Usually passable to not so good. Other studios have tried to compete directly or counter program against Saw, but all attempts have failed.
So far.
If Paranormal Activity was released cold against Saw VI, it would probably be dead on arrival. However, by doing this slow roll out, building the hype machine and THEN coincidentally getting just enough requests to release it nationwide the same weekend as Saw VI, it might just stand a chance. I for one am hoping it does.

The Best of the Best - Previews for December 2009
A rather light month, at least for me. We'll touch on all this on the podcast this weekend, but here's my jump start:
Empowered one shot (page 26): previously only collected as black and white digest sized dealies, angled towards the Manga crowd, I guess. Very excited to see Adam Warren's awesome art in full color and can only hope this is the begining of an ongoing series.
Green Lantern Corps #43 (page 61): Spoilers away! It's on the cover but should be no surprise the Guy Garnder is going to be a Red Lantern. That cover rules...
Blackest Night: the Flash #1 (page 62): ..but not as much as this one! Geoff Johns and Scott Kollins return to the Flash, spinning out of Rebirth, crossing into Blackest Night right into the new Flash ongoing in April!
JSA All-Stars #1 (page 86): Not sure why people are in a tizzy about this. Both Bill Willingham and Matt Sturgis all but hinted at this in their initial interview when they took over the book.
Captain America: Who Will Wield the Shield (page M6): I like that cute rhyming thing with the title. This obviously means that Captain America: Reborn doesn't answer this question. Kinda like War of Kings:Who will Rule.
Thunderbolts #139 (page M50): With Jeff Parker taking over this book (I think his first issue comes out this week) I'm happy to see the Agents of Atlas showing up here.
Mini Marvels Ultimate Collection GN-TPB (page M100): Surprised to see this getting a reprint like this, with Super Hero Squad or whatever taking over this spot on the Marvel shevles. If I didn't already have all the digests, I'd be getting this.
Brian Michael Bendis: 10 Years at Marvel TPB (page M115): We end with a very odd collection. It could be argued that Bendis really turned things around for Marvel, starting with Ultimate Spider-Man. I've kinda fallen off from his super-hero stuff but could read things like Alias or Torso over and over again. Fourtune & Glory (which is great) is getting the hardcover treatment this month as well.

Remakes - When is Enough Enough?
So today I just watched the trailer for the latest Hollywood horror remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street and am at a loss. This would be the fifth remake from Michael Bay's production company (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Amityville Horror, the Hitcher and Friday the 13th before it) and enough is enough. The previous attempts have been "reimaginings" (at best) but from the trailer, the new Nightmare films looks to be going the "shot for shot" remake approach.
I understand why these get made: Hollywood is bankrupt and retreads have a name value at the box office. But who in their right mind prefers any of these remakes to the "classics" (at least in the horror community)?
Bay is not the only one to be blamed. Other studios crank out remakes of everything from top shelf properties (Halloween), mid-card talent (My Bloody Valentine) to jobbers (the Stepfather) with minimal to moderate success. Tons of movies from the last 40 plus years are being remade and many of them don't upset me as much as these, but that's because I love horror movies so much.
I can safely say I will be skipping this retread when it's released next year and hope that others do as well to finally get Hollywood in line to make some original films once and a while.

The Best of the Best - Previews for November 2009
The Three Guys from Nowhere show will be late this week (like Sunday late) so I figured I had time to put this together. Also, going to see Rob Zombie Presents Halloween 2 this weekend so that may get discussed on the show as well. Email us with feedback! ThreeGuysfromNowhere@gmail.com!
Dark Horse One-Shot Wonders (page 23): a really neat idea by Dark Horse, giving single issue stories for exisiting characters (Star Wars and the Goon this month). Check out this cover:
Dark Horse wins two months in a row for best cover!
Great Ten #1 (page 82): a 10-issue maxi series of characters that debuted in 52 over three years ago and DC hasn't done anything of note with since. Maybe now's the time.
Batman: the Cat and the Bat TPB (page 90): this collects issues #17-21 of Batman Confidential with tons of great Kevin Maguire art. If you missed it the first time, don't miss it now!
Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love (page 116): a miniseries spinning out from the cool prior one off stories from the main Fables book about Cindy being the best spy ever. However, not being written by Bill Willingham has me a bit leary.
Image United (page 136): All the original Image creators (sans Jim Lee) return for the big crossover of all the original Image characters, written by Robert Kirkman. Unfortunately, I just don't care.
BOOM! Kids Line (page 218): Joining the exisiting Incredibles ongoing and the new Disney license (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck books) this month sees the addition of Toy Story, Cars, Muppet Show and WALL-E ongoings. This is where the future is people!
Amazing Spider-Man #611 (page M18): Joe Kelly returns to the character everyone loves (NOW!), Deadpool! Teaming up with Spidey! To take on Lady Stilt-Man! If it wasn't for that Poop Potato cover this month, this would have been my favorite!
Amazing Spider-Man #612 & #613 (page M19): And then Mark Waid brings back all the classic Spidey villains, starting with Electro! The Spider-Man books have been awesome of late!
Black Widow: Deadly Origins #1 (page M25): the rollout for Iron Man 2 begin here! With Black Widow and Whiplash (also featured in another mini this month) as the lead villains in the next Iron Man movie, they also get some face time in real Marvel U. Luckily, with Paul Cornell as the writer of this one, chances are it'll be pretty good.
Realm of Kings (page M49-M51): as one door closes (War of Kings), another opens (Realm of Kings). I got no problem with the continuation of the Marvel cosmic stuff as these aren't the same type of "events" we get elsewhere (see the X-Universe).
Strange (page M53): Mark Waid (he's very busy at Marvel) tackles what Stephen Strange is up to now that he's not Sorcerer Supreme. The last Strange mini series was written by Brian K Vaughn and I'm sure Waid will deliver a really cool story.
Deadpool Team-Up #899 (page M62): A THIRD Deadpool ongoing? Mike Sterling over at Progressive Ruin stated this is like "cutting open the goose to get those golden egss faster".
I'm not sure if I entirely agree as I'm a tried and true Wade fan and as long as the stories are good, I'll keep buying them!
PunisherMAX #1 (page M75): I guess it's all together as one word, pronounced really fast. Jokes aside, I'm pumped for Jason Aaron taking this title on. u>Scalped is great and his Ghost Rider stuff has been really good too.
Deadpool Classics vol. 3 TPB (page M107): More DEADPOOL! Every month is Deadpool month! I already have these is single issues but the fact they are FINALLY getting put back into print means everyone should buy them!

Three Guys from Nowhere - Episode Three
Early and short edition. This is on me, as I'm indisposed this weekend.
With THREE Blackest Night related books this week: Blackest Night #2, Green Lantern Corps #39 and Blackest Night Batman #1, this eats up the majority of the show. 
We do our best to stay spoiler free. We even tell you how to avoid future spoilers! Also, a new contest with even more fabulous prizes!

Three Guys from Nowhere - episode two
We are back in our hopeful regular time slot, giving iTunes the 100 years to have it available for a reasonable time.
We cover a bunch of things, covering books we read this week: Amazing Spider-Man 601, War of Kings 6, Superman: World of New Krypton 6 and Doom Patrol 1 (check out the cool variant cover by Kevin Maguire!)

Three Guys from Nowhere - episode one
This is the first podcast I have done "by myself." And by that I mean with DJ and Todd, two of my friends who are just as into comic books and all related things as well, If it weren't for them, this podcast would have never happened. So big ups to them. I would also like to mention other comic book podcasts such as Word Balloon and House to Astonish, that were big inspirations to me.
It's a bit shakey but it's our first run at this. If you dig comic books, give it a listen and pass it along!

The Best of the Rest - Previews for October 2009
Tons of notes for the podcast and didn't get to everything I wanted to talk about from Previews. I know this i nothing new, every comic blogger does this, and now so do I:
Conan the Cimmerian #15 (page 26): I don't read Conan, but look at this cover:
Flipping ridiculous
the Escapist tpb (page 33): Such a great book from Brian K Vaughan, getting back in print. Everyone should check this out!
World's Finest #1 (page 77): Sterling Gates, Geoff Johns' protege, tackling the new Nightwing (Chris Kent) and Red Robin (Tim Drake) teaming up. 
Justice League of America #38 (page 86): James Robinson and Mark Bagley take over the mail JL book. It's supposed to tie into Justice League: Cry for Justice, which is on issue 4 of a 7 issue mini series.
Haunt #1 (pages 135-140): As mentioned in the 'cast, I'll check out anything Robert Kirkman writes, but the premise is kinda cheesy and the art team, specifically Todd McFarlane on inks, doesn't give me hope that it will come out on time.
OZ: the Wonderful Wizard of Oz HC (page M4): the Marvel Classics oversized hard cover of the Wizard of Oz story. However, it has lovely Skottie Young art, so count me in.
Web of Spider-Man #1 (page M22): Taking the old Spider-Man Family book and trying to trick me into buying it? I came back to Amazing Spider-Man after all you've done. Don't push your luck!
Daredevil #501 (pages M31-M32): Angy Diggle and Roberto De La Torre, after much delays (issue #500, the List one shot) finally gets his new start on Daredevil. I've been following DD loyally for sometime and Diggle & De La Torre are a great match for this book.
Guardians of the Galaxy #19 (page M38): I dig Kang. I dig the Guardians. Pair em up, and I'm there!
Deadpool Month? (pages M71-M74): We have FIVE Deadpool books this month? Included in that a poster book and a Marvel Spotlight? Reaching issue #900? If this is what I get for you-know-who playing Wade in the Wolverine movie, I'm cool with that!
Stumptown #1 (page 294): Greg Rucka with a creator owned crime book from ONI. That sells itself.
Barbie Twilight Dolls (page 369): Ugh...
