Spider-Man often comments on his lousy luck, especially with women. But Peter Parker can’t seem to see past his heartache to realize that tons of people would kill to have his women troubles. Even the Human Torch commented that everytime he sees Peter, there’s always some gorgeous woman involved. Hell, even Spidey villain the Chameleon wondered about how Peter knew so many hot women. S...[Read More]
So, for my first Villain Spotlight, I’ve chosen Spidey’s foe from the upcoming feature film, the Lizard. It helps that he’s one of my favorite non-archenemy characters in Spidey’s Rogues Gallery, and as it’s my first one, let me lay down some ground rules: I may be providing facts, but this is mostly my opinion on what makes this villain works, as well as what stories...[Read More]
As Stan Lee would say: Face front True Believers, because during this astonishingly amazing month of April, I’m going to dig through the history of Merry Marvel’s greatest and most beloved webspinner, the Spectacular and Sensational, the one and only, the Amazing Spider-Man!
This summer is going to be one hell of an interesting one for Spider-Man. Marvel’s greatest hero is already starting his possible greatest epic against the Sinister Six in Ends of the Earth, and with the film reboot coming out, how could it get more epic. Two words: Spider-Men.
If someone told me that Kaine, the infamous evil Spider-Man clone from the much maligned 90’s epic known as the Clone Saga, would be starring in a hit spinoff comic (let alone one named after the other Spidey clone), I would have thought it was insane. But Kaine is proving his mettle in Marvel’s Scarlet Spider.
I’m hyped up like a madman with every piece of news I get about the next Spider-Man film. That said, I want to clarify that the Sam Raimi-directed Spider-Man trilogy is one of my favorite superhero film sagas, and I’m going to tell you why. As usual, this is just my opinion, and these are not reviews. And remember, there are spoilers ahead.
In the words of the 60’s cartoon of Spidey, “WALLOPING WEBSNAPPERS!”
March is going to be an interesting time to be Spider-Man. The Sinister Six are coming back in a major storyline called “Ends of the Earth” (starting in March’s Amazing Spider-Man #682), and it seems like they’re about to earn the fear and respect they’ve been due not just from Spidey but from his allies among the Avengers. In honor of this, I’m going to talk ab...[Read More]
It’s difficult for me to give Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning a fair shake right now. I’ve spent over 100 hours of the last 30 days running around the nearly unrestricted world of Skyrim, and it’s hard to transition from that kind of freedom and visual experience to the more visually Fablesque and linear style of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning without missing it. I loved Fable, I ad...[Read More]
After the video game Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, Activision has kept our webslinging hero away from the open-world format. It’s easy to understand why: Open world games can be fun, but if you don’t do enough innovation between entries, it can come across as less fresh and more formulaic. However, to tie in with the next feature film, the rebooted Amazing Spider-Man, Beenox (who I’...[Read More]
In keeping with Batman-month, I’m going to talk about one of the coolest things when dealing with comics: the crossover. These are my top five Batman crossovers.
After last year’s Spidey game, Shattered Dimensions, Activision has decided to let Beenox become the official dev team for their games starring Marvel’s famed webslinger. So, does this game prove the choice as a good one?
