Comic Reviews: Daredevil: Born Again

Another classic Frank Miller story that does this character justice. Frank Miller is slowly becoming one of my top 3 comic book writers and this story is another great example of why. I'm currently trying to read his entire Daredevil run while also reading some other stuff. Daredevil has always been a character I've been interested in but after reading Frank Miller's 'Daredevil: The Man Without Fear' and this 'Born Again' story he's becoming someone I want to read a lot more often.

Ghost Rider Convo Turns Into DC vs Marvel

AdeTheScholar's first post let's goooooooo. So me and my boy Kendall(Comic Book Nerd) were having our daily conversation about random comic news when he brought up that washed up skeleton on a bike Ghost Rider, who was played by other washed up actor Nicholas Cage in the 2007 and 2011 theatrical releases. However, this conversation quickly changed into a brief debate about my beloved DC and the idea of a few heroes going against some from Marvel. Read the whole convo below:

Major Comic Book News from Comic Con on Thursday 7/21

Today Comic Con panels released a bunch of info, and it's hard to keep up. A lot of comic book news came out today so I'm going to do my best to give you a list of some of the major news and my opinions. I can't believe that there's three more days, I can't wait to find out more news.

Comic Reviews: Daredevil: The Man Without Fear

Frank Miller does it again! I can now see why he's held in such high regards, after reading a handful of his most famous work. I do have to admit my main motivation for reading this was the Daredevil tv show. It was well worth the read. The tv show definitely takes some notes from this. I really did enjoy it as its own thing though, and would recommend this to someone who wants a good story or to start reading Daredevil. It's an origin story, but the way it's told and the way Frank Miller gives life to these characters make it feel brand new. It's got a lot of Daredevil mythos in it, with Electra, Fisk, and of course Foggy Nelson his best friend and business partner. This story and Frank Miller live up to the hype and reputation this story have earned.

Marvel NOW Upcoming Comics

Marvel NOW is the newest upcoming revamp of the Marvel comic books. This is going to take place directly after Civil War II ends and will become the new status quo for their comics. It will also give new readers a great jumping on point, because Marvel NOW will bring a bunch of new changes to the Marvel comic book world. The cast will include characters as you've never seen them before and a focus on the younger characters. I'm very excited, this new direction could bring a bunch of new fun stories and maybe connect more with the people who go to see the Marvel movies. Plus it's nice to see new faces get stories. After so many years some things just feel repetitive or just aren't interesting. For example, Marvel is getting a lot of backlash for their Captain America: Steve Rodgers books because of the newest twist of Steve being Hydra. I personally really like the story and think it'll be a fun one once they finish out the story arc. I also can see the frustration that some people have because here is one of the greatest heroes of all time becoming a bad guy. If you read the story it's actually really well thought out and presented in a way that makes sense. This latest twist, in my opinion, is the product of a character being around for such a long time it's hard to really come up with original stories. I mean how many times is Steve Rodgers gonna be young, and then old, and then young again? I mean he was a warewolf at some point....a warewolf. Just after a while you just need a reset button, and do some completely different things with new characters. That's one reason I'm really excited for Marvel NOW.
