    His bit on the nerdiest podcast where he pitched the movie is pretty fun.

    Dan Ackroyd is talking about turning Ghostbusters into a big movie franchise like Star Wars is to Disney, or X-men is to Fox, and I think it might be time we as a society get together and tell him it's finally time to move on.

    Spirit of Vengence should have had a bigger budget. The insanity of the first half was great but they clearly ran out of money during the second half.

    EXCLUSIVE ART: Newcomer German Peralta brings Spears' "AXIS: Carnage" story to life

     I love horror films, especially older ones from the 70's and 80's. I love humor, too but I'm wouldn't say I'm totally a straight humor guy. I just enjoy pushing a situation to where it gets really awkward and uncomfortable and you have to laugh as almost a safety mechanism.

    What I'm doing with " AXIS: Carnage" is mainly a superhero story that finds its humor in the fact that while Carnage is "inverted" now, and trying to be a hero, he's still a total psychopath. He wants to be a good guy, but has no idea how to do that.

    I'm totally a fan. I love that Carnage is a true psychopath. He's really out there in terms of the extreme. It was fun to play with how that would work now that he's inverted.

    He lacks the core compassion a hero needs to empathize with people. He's sort of "chaotic good," if you will. So even when he's trying his best to be a good guy, he's prone to making some seriously bad -- and possibly fatal -- mistakes.

    We open with him trying to be a hero and failing pretty miserably at it so he kidnaps er -- enlists some help from Alice, a TV reporter who he thinks is a good person and who can show him how to act like a hero

    Man am

    Am I really gonna get a Carnage series

    So that was the first time I've seen Spirit of Vengeance
    Oh my good lord that earth extractor..oh my god. "He's not is he? He is! Oh fuck yes!" may be verbatim.
    Pure uncut Cage sounds like it should be the title of box set.


    I'd buy that box set.

    Why aren't you reading More Than Meets the Eye. You. Yes you. The person reading this post on the internet. Why aren't you doing that thing.

    The latest issue has one of the finest final panels I've ever seen in the comic book, and it came after a thoroughly incredible resolution to a story arc that itself was weaved from the narrative starting with issue #1. Give it a go. You'll be glad you did.

    I'm really sad that the bookstore I go to doesn't stock its trades, while having a countless number of movie tie in comics (although those seem to have been sitting there for many, many years).

    Deadpool isn't a psycho, although he has issues, and he knows how to be a hero he is just usually bad at it

    I mean in his series right now he has a stable, friendly, supporting cast, a daughter and has been heroic for quite a long time

    Carnage being still totally bonkers and not having any idea of how to be a hero to the point of literally kidnapping someone and going HEY TELL ME HOW TO NOT DO BAD THINGS, SUCH AS KIDNAPPING is way different

    I love the swerve Hickman took in Time Runs Out with The Avengers, who had been THE BEST GOOD GUYS 100% BOO ILLUMINATI the entire run so far slipping down their own downward spiral
    The Avengers being a military unit is pretty fucked up and Sue was pretty brutal and ruthless towards Amadeus Cho.

    No Civil War "Here are the good guys and here are the fascists" stuff here

    I'm not digging the 8 months later thing so far. Without seeing a lot of the stuff that went on, most of the character beats feel.. unearned, maybe? It's almost like the entire book is a What If. It's so far from where we started and so disconnected from linearity that I caught myself thinking "I wonder how long until all this gets retconned or time traveled or whatever away." more than once. Hopefully that'll change as the rest of the universe catches up, holes get filled in and we see the Illuminati's half of the equation.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure the "Wait what the fuck how did that happen" feeling of TRO is intended. Hickman had his schedule and clearly didn't want an extra 8 months of Avengers stories to write for whatever reasons he has so this lets him set up his endgame while stuff such as Axis shakes up the universe in ways that set up the crazy 8 Months Later MU we're seeing

    I really wonder what the Illuminati have been up to. Do they know about the Cabal? It seems like the Avengers don't.

    I'm guessing
    They've been a lot more heroic in the 8 months, trying to solve the incursion problem, fighting off the Cabal, maybe tangling with those alt universe Builder invaders Starbrand found. Meanwhile the Avengers largely disbanded because SHIELD took over and they're more obsessed with finding Tony than stoppingthe incursions.

    It lets Hickman somewhat redeem their arc and keeps the Avengers from being the perfect good guys

    A new digital three-part animated Justice League series is in the works from DC Entertainment, Warner Bros., and Machinima.

    Variety reports that Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles will hit in spring of 2015 and will “revolve around a newly conceived reality in the DC Universe where Justice League members Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are much darker versions of the Super Heroes that people think they know.”

    Every Warner Bros superhero adaptation is going to be "darker versions than you think you know" until they're just 120 minutes of a completely black screen
