What Is This, The High Hat?

I know I haven’t posted in a long time but here’s a movie review. Oh and if you want a comic to read pick up The Umbrella Academy which is surprisingly amazing. More on that later.

Black Sheep was not quite what I expected. I had thought this was a pg13 horror comedy but I was mistaken. This was definitely deserves it’s R rating with plenty of delightful animal violence. Black Sheep is about some sheep who are genetically enhanced and then just start attacking people. If that sounds like an acceptable movie premise to you then you will love this movie. Black Sheep was very funny and is now one of my favorite horror comedy’s. It doesn’t quite make it into the Dead Alive, Evil Dead 2 caliber of movie but how can you not like killer sheep. If horror comedy is your fancy this is highly recommened.

I know I’m doing this a week late but I’ve been reading Y The Last Man trades so at least I was reading an amazing comic when I should have gotten this stuff reviewed. Ok start off with

This was surprisingly good. I’m getting kind of tired of mainstream super hero comics and was expecting this to be average. I was happily surprised.

Suicide Squad #1

I’ve never read Suicide Squad before but I could definitely see people liking this comic. I don’t know what happened I just couldn’t get into it so #2 is a no for me 

Daredevil #100 

Issue #82 of Daredevil came out Feb. 2006. I probably got it in March or April after the cool dude at the comic shop recommended it. Ed Brubaker had just started writing Daredevil and after these early issues of Brubaker was one of my favorite writers. Brubaker has consistently made Daredevil and Iron Fist two of my favorite comics. Daredevil 100 is super long with a four dollar price tag. It is oh so worth for just a little longer (than usual) Brubaker story and about 5 guest artists with 2-4 page spreads. It also has 2 previously published Daredevil comics which I didn’t even read. So amazing issue of an amazing comic

 

America’s Next Top Model started today and I already have a favorite. Heather looks very promising and I hope she makes it very far. More on that next week when I can really look at everyone more closely. Thursday is new comics day for me so even another excuse to not blog until next week. So bye loyal reader(s) filled with enthusiasm and anonymity.

Man I was supposed to be back on here last week but I have a perfectly good reason. The new comics didn’t come out until Thursday. Well I didn’t end up buying any new comics but one comic from last week. Avengers: The Initiative #5 I know I know generic mainstream Marvel but this is actually pretty entertaining. This is the best Marvel I’m getting besides Brubaker so if you want a fun team title definitely pick this up. Oh and here and here are two Joss Whedon myspace freebies.

I only have three comics to review and I probably could have put this up faster but I didn’t read Mice Templar until about five minutes ago, seriously. And I was totally busy this whole week playing Bioshock which I really need to beat. Oh and I was reading the Demo trade which was 12 one-shots by Brian Wood. Maybe I will do a full review on that but it was excellent if you were wondering. On to the reviews.

Punks The Comic

This will be quick. This comic is strange. I think strange is sometimes bad but strange can also be oh so good. If your open to something out of the ordinary this is a must read.

Mice Templar 1

I don’t know what to think about this comic. The art was good and the story was interesting. You can’t really go wrong with sword fighting mice. If that sounds like a fresh idea to you then you will love this comic. It just never crosses the line from good to great in my opinion .

Bye I will be back on by this Friday for sure but go read Punks the Comic.
