A well done parody of the Mac & PC commercials featuring Spider-Man and Super Man that I found on YouTube! Awesome.
Marvel Civil War Reading Order
September 29, 2006 | 11 Comments
Contents:
As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m a fan of Marvel’s Civil War comics. Like many, I’ve been buying up the comics and reading them as they come out, which gives an approximate reading order. When looking back at the Civil War comics released thus far, its difficult to remember the order that Marvel has intended. Checklists exist out there but are difficult for me to find (and I’ve had a number of searches come to BorkWeb looking for a reading order).

Marvel: Civil War
June 27, 2006 | 2 Comments
Zach over at NoSheep! recently brought me into the comic book fold with Marvel’s Civil War. For weeks his posts have been piquing my interest. It wasn’t until his post on Spider-Man’s identity being revealed that I broke down and read something.
I used Wikipedia as my source for the immediate chronological order of the comics leading up to and entering in to the Marvel Universe’s Civil War. If you haven’t been blessed by hearing what Marvel is doing this summer, then I’ll enlighten you with the overall plot (compliments of Wikipedia)
The series centers around a newly enacted Super-human Registration Act, which, when passed into law, would require all persons in the United States with superhuman abilities who wish to use those abilities to fight crime to register with the federal government and receive proper training as law enforcement officials. Such persons would not only be subject to U.S. law (including the prohibition of minors from participating in such activities), but would, according to the law, reap the full benefits of civil servants, including pensions, and so forth. Because the forced registration of persons would spark a civil liberties controversy, the Act splits notable superheroes within the Marvel Universe, resulting in two super-powered factions forming, one advocating registration as the responsible obligation of the super-powered living in society, and the other opposed to the law on the grounds that it violates civil rights. This conflict builds into the titular Civil War, into which themes from current events will be woven. Writer Mark Millar has noted “The political allegory is only for those that are politically aware. Kids are going to read it and just see a big superhero fight.” Some see this as a reflection of real world views on such things as Gun Control or the Patriot Act.
I’m officially hooked. I now have a pull list at a local comic-book shop.

Ghost Rider
May 23, 2006 | 9 Comments
The Ghost Rider teaser trailer is finally out. Even though I’m excited about the idea of a Ghost Rider movie, I’m still a bit iffy on the casting. Nicholas Cage is the Ghost Rider…Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy, but he seems odd in that role.
The graphics look decent and its bound to be pretty action packed, lets hope the story holds its own. I’m a huge fan of the superhero genre and the movies that have been coming out recently have been pleasantly good. My fingers are crossed on this one.
Now, its important to note that there are two trailers that were released…the international and the US version. The international one is by far the better of the two as the US version is missing: a run from the cops, a shot of Eva Mendes’ butt, and some extra melted objects. Zach seem to think its based on strict limitations to the trailer to keep it within the appropriate Trailer rating. Ah well…at least US version has text. Whoop-de-doo.
The scheduled release date for the US is February 16th, 2007. A little late to be a Valentine’s Day present for my wife…but I’ll see what I can do.
