Super Comic Fun Time!

How could I let Justice League Week end without doing a Justice League specific episode of From The Pile? And in going though the Pile over the weekend, JLA #66 from July 2002 stuck out. First of all, it was issue 66, which in esoteric math equals exactly two Mother Boxes. Then the cover was pretty intriguing, and finally, I put it on top of the pile so I must have intended to do it! JLA 66: A Storm of Crows This issue is weird and I would expect nothing less from issue or episode 66 of any entertainment property. This issue is very dream-like from the start with the Justice League playing poker on their downtime with Wally West quizzing Green Lantern Kyle Rayner on what it means to be Ion. Who's Ion? It doesn't really matter that much for this issue. Kyle takes a break from Wally's third degree by going to the fridge but when he opens it, the ocean pours in. But then we find out it is just a dream and Kyle is cluing Wally in while they stand in front of a s...

I could not find a big poster of the Justice League film so I had to settle for the seating chart outside my theater There will be spoilers in this review even though there isn't too much to spoil. Justice League hit theaters this weekend to disappointing reviews. While the movie if a lot of fun, especially if you are a fan of DC Comics, it can also be confusing. One of the biggest problems was the decision to introduce three new characters, a villain, the concept of the Fourth World and the New Gods, and a new version of the Mother Box in one film. I've been only reading DC Comics intensely for around the last two years, so I feel like I could follow some of the more esoteric bits, such as the introduction of the Mother Box. Now,  I always thought of the Mother Boxes as sort of an iPhone that can open multidimensional portals called Boom Tubes which is the only way to travel to the Fourth World. But in this movie, the Mother Boxes are sort of like The One Ring, t...

Welcome to Justice League Week on Super Comic Fun Time! I gotta tell you guys, I was so excited to do this video. I had unrealistic expectations that I could zoom through the first three or four chapters of this most excellent omnibus but I couldn't. This video includes the two prologues and the first chapter of The Dark Side War. OMG! This story is so good. The art is so good. As you'll see in this video a character called Grail comes through Barry Allen's Flash and it is so awesome I could cry. Even though I know these are superheroes and this is a comic book, I also know this is the swan song for the New 52 as Rebirth follows shortly after. Yet over and over again even in this first part, I was convinced characters were dying! So this book definitely brought with it for me the suspension of disbelief. And if you're not looking for something this powerful in a comic book, then this one definitely this one isn't for you. As I mention in the...

Thor:Ragnarok opened to high expectations in the USA on Thursday 11/02/2017 Like a hammer deftly zooming over the horizon with incredible speed as if it were  on some predestined date with destiny, Thor:Ragnarok hit movie theaters in the USA last Thursday and it's impact echoes back over all of 2017's mostly excellent superhero films resonating all the way back to 2015's Age of Ultron. Even those of us who cannot remember what happened in the first two Thor movies are wanting to go back and see what we might have missed. After the Scarlet Witch put a vision in his mind, Thor heads off to the Waters of Remembrance in the Age of Ultron At the end of 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, Thor booked off as he had had a vision of Asgard burning and being heir to Odin's throne he just had to find a way of stopping it. And in the opening moments of Thor: Ragnarok, he does it! He stops Rangarok! Cue credits! Not even time for a Stan Lee Cameo, end movie! Couldn...

On the eve of the opening of Thor: Ragnarok we dive into Walt Simonson's Thor Omnibus and take a look at the first four stories which introduce us to Beta Ray Bill and the idea that anyone who is worthy can wield Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Thor (as Doctor Donald Blake) is summoned by Nick Fury when  S.H.I.E.L.D. detects a very fast moving object headed toward our solar system. An object that devours suns! When an imminent threat appears a half a galaxy away, Nick Fury seeks out the Mighty Thor! Thor heads off into space while in Asgard a very unhappy Sif is seeking a battle worthy of her skills to take her mind off of Thor. Upon reaching the fast approaching space ship, Thor is mistaken for a demon by Beta Ray Bill whose mission is to protect his people that have been under demonic attack for millennia. Thor is transformed into Donald Blake and loses Mjolnir which has reverted back into his walking stick. Finding the walking stick, Beta Ray Bill stri...
