BITS AND BOBS #1

Here's a little feature for all those things I watch or read that don't get reviews but still deserved to get talked aboot.


ONE PIECE VOL 9. 10. 11

Oh the EMOTIO ! That's what One Piece does best, it makes you feel! Makes you shed manly tears for a boat! See the air itself is SUPERCHARGED with emotion. Now I dini mean with angst or with emo but with pure awesomeness. Pure HOTBLOODED AWESOMENESS. We all know what One Piece is and that it's the best of the big three shonen. Don't deny it you know it to be true. These volumes deal with nami's tear jerker back story with the fish man pirate captain Arlong. It makes want to see Luffy beat the crap out of Arlong and it damn well delivers. AWESOMELY.


BATMAN GOTHAM KNIGHT

Six anime stories aboot Batman but the first story is 3 stories. So this has been out a fair while but this was my first time seeing it. It's just like the animatrix but for Batman. It was pretty fun sorta not linked stories that are actually linked that don't fit into the Nolan-verse but might actually do. And robot Batman makes an appearance which is always nice to see.



EUREKA SEVEN : GOOD NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT, YOUNG LOVERS. THE MOVIE

See that's a hell of a title. That's a title just crazy enough to work. Sadly that's all I want to remember aboot this film. See I was hyped aboot this film. Not hyped enough to buy it for £14.99 when it first came oot but hyped enough to but it for a fiver in the sale. Thank funk I did cuz this sucked man and it saddens to say that. Yeah I was kind of expecting it too but it still hurts dudes, it hurts me deep in my manly heart. See Eureka Seven is an anime that's basically aboot sky surfing mecha and eventually Johnny Yong Bosch saving the world with the power of love. This movie is set in an alternate continuity and its kinda a clip show. I say kinda. It reuses old animation to tell a new story. See I could get behind that sort of thing but this story was just not worth it. People die man. Yeah in this movie they were a bit shady but they were real cool dudes in the TVshow. It's sorta grim too and I didn't leave it feeling happy. :(



PRINCESS MONONOKE

So I picked this up from Gamestation which was odd. This was mighty awesome, pretty much what you want from a Ghibli film. I've seen bits and pieces of it before but this was the first time I've seen it all the way through. So how the HELL is this a PG rated film? The sheer amount of limbs that are lost! It's like the people are made of plasticine. And vast seas of blood! Well maybe not that much blood but still. The hero was a damn bad ass but unfortunately I don't remember his name so I'm just going to refer to him as the hero. So the hero is cursed and is all walking the earth to find a cure before he dies getting involved in a war between animal gods and humans along the way. The whole thing is pretty grey in that that both the humans and the gods have some pretty cool dudes on both sides and no-one's that evil. Not my favourite Ghibli film I'veseen so far but still a damn fine film. Really gotta love Ghibli films dudes they're like proper film films.



GREEN LANTERN THE MOVIE

I didn't think it was that bad. Really I had fun watching it. Was the CGI suit really that bad? I didn't think so. Remember when Hal Jordan killed those 3 guys by punching them through a brick wall when he first used the ring? Cuz he totally killed those 3 guys by punching them though a brick wall. Not really that gid film anyway but I don't think it was as bad as everybody else thinks it was.

comic book quickies 11/8/11


More mad hat filler !

Teen Titans #99
written by JT Krul art by Jose Luis

Clones are awesome ! Yeah this was way cools , super boy primes team of psycho rangers fight the the titans one on, one as you do. The highlight being beast boy fighting beast wars megatron as the the mighty oozaru. And there's like 3 other super boy clones and there dressed like super boy from other earth's, yeah . AND THEN ONE OF THE PSYCHO RANGERS BUILDS A MEHCA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!
then loads of other teen titans turn up cos next issue is #100

War of the green lanterns aftermath #2
written by Tony Bedard art by Ransom Getty and Andy Smith

This was filler but there were bits of fun here and there. Nothing really happens but its nice to see that the guardians are at least trying to do something

Batman Beyond #8
written by Adam Beechen art by Chris Batista

This issue was about the back story of Inque the venomy looking woman as it trys to make her a sympathetic character. But I don't really care and it all just feels forced. I get what the writer was trying to do but it just feels unnecessary. Inques a bad guy thats all she needs to be.

Fear Itself #5
written by Matt Fraction art by Stuart Immonen

Ill keep saying it , the main fear itself book has been much more awesome than the main flashpoint book . Sure flashpoint is the more important book and its the one that will have the bigger impact BUT it is slightly dull and nothing much happened the the first two issues. Fear itself on the other hand has been action packed from issue one focusing more ACTUAL fights. Gotta love Thor in this series dudes mental , he killed the Thor thing. He gets better but still.

Batman and robin #26
written by David Hine art by Greg Tocchini and Adrei Bressan

FUCK THIS SHIT. I did not like this comic. I'm sure its well written its just not for me.

comic book quickies




BRIGHTEST DAY .24
swamp thing is back ! Anybody care ? Not me . This was a weird last issue.all the swamp thing is the true defender of earth thing just felt bolted on and the green message felt kinda preachy . This should have been awesome I mean at one point 2 giant swamp things fight it out ! but the rest of the issue is too annoying for me to care . the white light its just taking the piss at this point , bringing people back just to kill them off and bring them back again . Now don't get me wrong iv been loving brightest day over all and as a bi weekly series it been bloody awesome but like I said weird last issue.


THE FLASH .11
Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler was kid flash always this whiny ?Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler


BATMAN INC .5
yeah not sure what happened this issue. something about a meta bomb, a crazy old villain something about the first bat woman, was the 80s team of British super heroes killed in the 80s or was it recently ? Mater spy was sent to infiltrate batman inc or was it the new bat woman ? I dont know BUT IT WAS AWESOME ! The art was awesome the fights were awesome everything about this book from issue 1 has just been awesome .

GREEN LANTERN EMARALD WARRIORS .9
were six parts into the war of the green lanterns cross through event and I'm not sure what to think of it. While I don't like the hoal thing of thing of the event being spread throughout the different gl books , it means that the main green lantern title is ware every thing happens and the rest of the books are just padding and filler . However you cant deny that that this event has momentum and that's one of the best things any event comic can have . And this issue of filler dose feel the least fillery of the filler issues . I still think the idea of the mind controlled gl corps to be a bit weak but hal Jordan leading a team of this point power rangers makes up for it . John Stewart still looks silly in his action pimp gear though.



THE AVENGERS .12.1
this is a strange one , the point one series of comics marvel have been bringing out recently are meant to be jumping on points for new readers and this issue was certainly that a grate jumping on point actually the story was grate the art was amazing it was a fun starting point for people to pick up and start reading. And that would be fine but next issue is the start of the tie in issues to marvels fear itself summer event. So it feels less of a jumping on pint and more of a prelude of things to come. My only real problem with this comic is Tony stark I just don't understand why he's written to be such an unlikeable character since all the heroic age stuff was meant to white wash away all the stuff he did since civil war , last issue had him lie to almost all the active avengers in a big way now this issue has him whining about how much smarter ultron is than everybody on the the planet.
Yeah its not like ultrons been beaten a hundred times before or anything .

I said filler a lot didn't I ?
