The Wallbanger Quick Review: Captain America: Reborn #1
July 2nd, 2009
Posted by Mr. Wallbanger
Why this book?: I wanted to see the lady that was going to give birth to a full grown man, and a 30″ diameter shield. God bless America.
Writer: Ed Brubaker - Entertaining enough, but nothing mind blowing.
Penciler: Bryan Hitch - Really on it sometimes, and not so much other times. I usually like it when someone’s face looks the same throughout a comic.
Story [vague SPOILERS ahead]: We see Cap headed to the beach, back in the day. Then we get the re-cap of Cap getting killed. In the present, Bush League Cap and Black Widow are breaking into the U.S.S.M.C.H.A.M.M.E.R. Helicarrier. Vision, Falcon and Cap’s Ex-Lover pop in for a visit with Hank Pym. They drop some bombs on him about how Cap died, and some shit the Red Skull was up to with Dr. D and what’s his dick “The Robotic Man.” They also give Pym a fancy ray gun to play with. Back on the Helicarrier, Bush League and Black Widow realize they’ve been screwed. Norman has a chat with Robot Man. Aaaand… Cap is Back! Well, kinda sorta?
Summary: What a tease. If I had bought Captain America: Reborn a big fancy dinner or something, I’d be totally pissed.

Surprise! Michael Gets His Own Comic Book!
June 29th, 2009
Posted by Mr. Stratford
That’s right, the guy who did not invent the moonwalk [The moonwalk was recorded as early as 1955 by tap dancer Bill Bailey], but probably inappropriately touched some kids, is getting his own comic book. According to the Coventry Telegraph:
“The publication from US publisher Bluewater Productions will trace the star’s life from his rise to fame as a musical prodigy with the Jackson 5 until his untimely death on Thursday.
The special collectors’ edition biography comic will feature highlights from his musical career and cover his enigmatic private life.
Darren G. Davis, president of Bluewater Productions, said: ‘Michael Jackson’s music served as the soundtrack to countless lives…including mine. His influence on our culture has been profound.’
‘This is a celebration of his life and what he meant to a legion of fans,’ Davis said. ‘Although the book won’t shy away from some of his personal troubles, we try to tell a balanced story that shows Jackson as a musical genius, an unparalleled superstar and as a complex person.’
The issue, entitled Tribute: Michael Jackson, King of Pop, features a wraparound cover and foreword by The Official Michael Jackson Fan Club’s Giuseppe Mazzola, who was a close friend of the star.“
Tribute: Michael Jackson, King of Pop isn’t due for release until October. Plenty of time to sugarcoat “balance” his “personal troubles.”
The Wallbanger Quick Review: The New Avengers #54
June 26th, 2009
Posted by Mr. Wallbanger
Why this book?: I had a dream that Brother VooDoo was fighting Scoobie-Doo, over a liter of Tequila. So, I wanted to see if it actually happened.
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis - Only a true writing genius knows when a character should yell “Huuaarrgh,” “Huragh,” or “Haagghh!”
Penciler: Billy Tan - I think he used a Spyro Graph on about page 11. I love Spyro graph.
Story [vague SPOILERS ahead]: Brother VooDoo just got some and is having a chat with his dead brother. Suddenly some fancy jewelery shows up and tells Brother V. that he’s the new bad ass of the universe. There’s a street fight going down between The New Avengers and a really cranky demon from hell. He’s on fire, what’d they expect? The Order of the Triad wins. Spider-Man may or may not have peed himself. Ronin/Hawkeye talks to the media, again. Shot of Loki’s Boobs [Still can’t get used to that]. Normy makes Ronin/Hawkeye look like a schmuck on national TV, again. Ronin/Hawkeye has the best idea ever.
Summary: I like it, but I always feel they could do more. Kinda like pancakes.

Costume Corner: HeroesCon 2009
June 25th, 2009
Posted by Mr. Stratford
Spotted a couple confusing costume photos, over at ComicBook.com, from this years HeroesCon in Charolette.
I can’t tell if the guy on the left is supposed to be Batman, the Tumbler or some sort of Batformer.
As for the Green Lantern… are we supposed to be able to see his balls? Perhaps his ring could conjure up a cup for him.
