What A Super Hero Book Cover Is Supposed To Look Like!





I always thought that one of the most under-appreciated comic book series of the early '90's was L.E.G.I.O.N.! The art was always excellent, the Keith Giffen stories of Vril Dox and his rag tag band of outer space super hero rogues were always entertaining and the cover art was constantly as awesome as this cover. When Lobo decided to inject himself into this universe, the stories really got crazy.

Never read L.E.G.I.O.N.? I would seek out this 70 issue series, if I were you. And make sure you buy the Annuals. too.

Oh, and who do you think came out on top in this conflict? I'll say this... Superman is the MAN he is suppose to be in this book.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier -- Mind Blowing Marvel Escapism!



I will tell your this, world...
I love me some Captain America.
I will take him just about anyway I can get him.

Now, 
I was not so much a fan of the Winter Soldier saga in the comic books.
But,
I never disrespected the effort.
And now Marvel/Disney has given us the  fantastic:
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER!

I will not give away any spoilers.
But I will tell you about this bit of derision choking my mind.
When the movie credits began to roll,
3/4 of the people in the theater got up and walked out.
I wanted to stand up and say,
"People! Sit your butts back down in your seats. 
There is more movie to come!"

But,
Here in the Northern Virginia theater I attend,
As usual,
I am the only black dude in the theater...
So,
I just painfully watched them go out the doors.

There are two clips after the credits roll.
You need to stay to the VERY end of the credits.
There is information in these clips that might blow your mind...
If you are a TRUE Marvel fan with a wide Avengers knowledge.

This movie earns an "A" rating all the way!
I just might have to go back and give the Winter Soldier saga comic books another look!
