Back and ‘Wonder Woman’ news

November 19th, 2008, 8:44 pm by Shawn Munguia

I’ll start this blog by apologizing form my long absence. With recent personnel changes I found myself somewhat overwhelmed, but I’m back now and will make sure that I have something to post regularly.

I’ll start now with word of the Amazon Princess getting her own DVD treatment.

Recent reports had the street date for the flick as February but the date is actually March 3. There will be single and double disk versions as well as a Blue Ray version.

The film is produced by Bruce Timm who has become somewhat legendary for his ability to bring DC characters to life in an animated format.

The extras are pretty copious so the two-disk seems the way to go in my book. Keep your eyes peeled and a space open in your video library. The Web site for the film is www.wonderwomanmovie.com and there’s a trailer there as well. Check it out then come back and tell me what you think.

Guardians of the Galaxy #3 (preview)

July 8th, 2008, 11:22 am by Shawn Munguia

Marvel Comics’ Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the best written books on the market right now. Funny and yet full of adventure. This is a comic that has a raccoon as a contributing member and a stick as comic relief. And yet the action is paced quickly and fights are told well enough that you can follow the action in two different fights without getting lost. The art is stunning and THEY HAVE A TALKING RACCOON NAMED “ROCKET RACCOON AS THEIR WEAPON EXPERT. How can you not like it. Check out this preview, then get a copy.

Amazing Spider-Girl #22 (preview)

July 8th, 2008, 10:52 am by Shawn Munguia

This Marvel Comics book has been a fun read since I first started reading it. The comic tells stories of May “Mayday” Parker who has taken on her father’s mantle after Pete retired from the hero biz. The title takes place in the same alternate future where the American Dream operates and rarely fails to be at least a fun read.

Guardians of the Galaxy #2 (preview)

June 16th, 2008, 8:04 pm by Shawn Munguia

How can you not get behind the Marvel Comics team with a raccoon that’s a weapons expert. If that doesn’t float your boat there’s two, count them two, knife wielding, green team members (Gamora and Drax the Destroyer), Adam Warlock, Phylla Vell and a trippy talking Mantis, of the Avengers circa 1980. If that doesn’t grab you, maybe the talking dog will.

American Dream #4 (preview)

June 16th, 2008, 7:58 pm by Shawn Munguia

This fun title from Marvel Comics has been a fun read from issue one. Issue three offered some insight into the Dreams drive to become a hero and this issue looks into how much that drive has held up over time. It also provides a great new villain and some clarification on the silicone men.

Young X-Men #3 preview

June 2nd, 2008, 5:20 pm by Shawn Munguia

This Marvel Comics series has been pretty interesting and a lot of fun so far. Scott Summers has amassed a solid strike force and they’re on the trail of X-Men gone astray. Really getting interesting at this point too as we get to see the gang in a fight, with Magma no less.

American Dream #3 preview

June 2nd, 2008, 4:34 pm by Shawn Munguia

I have to say, I’m really enjoying this Marvel Comics series, based in an alternative timeline. It feels like a mid-’90s comic without all that cross company crossover mess. In this issue, we get a bit more of a view into Dream’s past and her training. Check out the preview, then get a copy of the book to find out who the surprise trainer was. Trust me, you’ll dig it.

She-Hulk #29 preview

May 26th, 2008, 8:27 pm by Shawn Munguia

This issue begins the tale of how Marvel Comics big green glamazon came to be disbarred and leaves you with a mystery to boot. There is also Peter David’s trademark humor and Val Semeiks pencils to look forward too.

Ms Marvel #27 preview

May 26th, 2008, 7:26 pm by Shawn Munguia

Marvel Comic’s “Ms.” namesake has had a solid run, issue #27 is new territory for the character as her last book didn’t make it this far. Volume two of the heroine’s tale is still hot with solid writing and beautiful art by the creative team. Add to that the fact that this is a Secret Invasion tie-in, and it makes this book a must have.
