This preview sets up the movie as a young boy who meets the love of his life, and has to kick the crap out of her exboyfriends who are, by the way, all superheroes......I think it will be funny.

I stumbled upon an article from the LA Times that describes some of the roots of modern day comic heroes, including HellBoy, Spiderman, Robin Hood, Valkrie,  and Thor.  The article traces back modern heroes to an Opera from the 19 century that can be seen live  in LA, Wagner's Ring.  Ring is a series of Operas by Richard Wagner.  Pics in the article show characters in the live opera that look shockingly similar to modern day comic heroes.  The writer of this artcile, David Ng, traces back the roots of modern comic heroes even further back, stating that Richard Wagner and his work was influenced by  12th century Germanic poem entitled,  Nibelungenlied.  I am fascinated to learn that the roots of comic books are so deeply rooted in culture and history.   Please view the article at this link to the LA times.

Just wanted to put out some more art behind the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie.    Can't wait,,,,,,I will be watching this on the release date......

This looks like a start to a great series......I think that Boom comics is innovative and I have a hunch this comic will not disappoint.

I know this will upset 90% of the bloggers that read this, but this is the best comic-based movie ever made.  I think it is because of the serious (no joker pun intended) nature of the movie.  The previous batman movies were set in an animated world, where as this new version of the comic hero and villan is real and scary at times.

JOKER FROM 1989 BATMAN MOVIE
This clip shows the start difference between the joke of Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson.  I really think that the Health Ledger joker is more believable.  I really didn't connect with the Joker in the 1989 movie, but then again I didn't like batman movies until the Dark Knight.  

Batman and Robin
Now, check out this clip of Batman and Robin movie.  Yeah, you probably remember this movie.  And yes, the plot gets worse as we go along in these reviews. This is the worst comic based movie ever made (most bloggers would agree with me on that).  Both the Batman and Robin characters are laughable and not tough.  Watching these two movies shows the vast difference in characters, actors, and storyline.  I like Batman better as a ruthless vigilante, rather than a dolled up movie icon.

On march 29, 2010, the Action Comics comic book #1 went for over one million dollars.  Look at he video below to learn more.   This is the first action comic, and is also the first appearance of Superman.  The comic professional in this video goes on to say that comics are a good investment on certain levels.  I say that comics won't even exist some day, so any comic will be worth a lot.
