Pick & Pull: July 31, 2013 - 3 Guns, Batman, Collider + More!

It's the return of the much loved weekly editorial for best comics to check out this week! Pick & Pull is back and just in time to see some great things in the making. This week we have Neil Gaiman joining Marvel in a way, 3 Guns is better than 2, and it's getting dark in here.

3 Guns #1 (of 6) - This is a sequel to 2 Guns (catchy title really). This time around they throw in a girl for you know more jokes and battles between each other. Looks pretty promising to be fun and action packed.

Batman Annual #2 - The first annual was pretty emotional with Mr. Freeze getting sweet and touching origins. So it's only natural to pick up the 2nd issue and see where we will go. This team has never really let us down in the emotional, action, or drama side of things.

Captain Midnight #1 - This is really part of the trend by Dark Horse to bring older characters back to life, but with Joshua Williams behind it, I have to pick it up!

Guardians of the Galaxy #5 - They are bringing one of Neil Gaiman's characters into the Marvel universe in a big way and it all starts here. Check out Angela in this issue!

Sheltered: A Pre-Apocalyptic Tale #1 - The title is just the cool strange part of it!

Collider #1 - This one snuck up on me and sounded so intriguing to sic-fi reader in me. It's like a mixture of Fringe and other sci-fi goodies.

DC Unveils "Justice League 3000" + Concept Art

DC Comics recently canceled the beloved series The Legion of Super-Heroes, and that left a void for future set heroes. So they are going to basically take us back to the 31st Century in a new ongoing series titled "Justice League 3000". Yes, DC is milking it's Justice League title with a more than few series out there titled it. Although this series is a little different because being set in 31st Century, the current team isn't alive.

The team will consist of a Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Lantern, and of course The Flash. These characters themselves have not been announced who will be portraying them, but expect maybe a Legion member here or there. You never know.

The best part, we will be seeing some familiar faces (names) returning to Justice League. Writer duo, Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis, and artist Kevin Maguire are teaming up again for this. You might remember them for their funny series Justice League International. This will be a very interesting take on the 31st century.

Howard Porter designed the new fresh costumes of the main 5 members. They look pretty spiffy and different. Did The Flash and Chamber have a child? OMG they gave Wonder Woman Pants? Crazy!

Check out the CBR exclusive designs of Batman, The Flash, Superman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman.

Man of Steel Review

Superman has been long overdue for a cinematic tale to show how amazing of a character he truly is, director Zack Snyder has finally given the world exactly that. This isn't your fathers superman and that is a great thing! Welcome to the 21st Century Superman.

When I first heard that visionary director Christopher Nolan was overseeing the production of a new Superman, I almost fainted. This was a huge fanboy dream, to have the Batman director working on Superman. The Man of Steel has been in grave need to be rebooted into something that has stable ground with the current world, so we can relate to it better. The Christopher Reeve movies are great in their own way and will always be dear to me, but as a fanboy, we needed a grittier man in (no) tights.

Man of Steel starts off with a bang I wasn't expecting but gleefully accepted. We were able to see Krypton in all it's glory and finally get to know Jor-El better than a few scenes in the fortress of solitude. Many fans will appreciate that because all they ever known was a select few Marlon Brando scenes. Hell, Russell Crowe is in the film almost a total hour! That is awesome. The early scenes help us see the world where Kal-El came from and what happened to the home world. It sets the tone of film nicely and was good to see.

The film didn't stop there with the surprises in storytelling and story itself. We see Kal-El doing his thing in the Alaskan area and than it gets weird. Good weird though, for most part that is. The origins of Clark Kent are basically done it flashbacks to important times that help us see what shapes his moral compass. Yes this film is not chronological, but riddled with flashbacks. It might be disruptive to some, but it was a brisk storytelling idea that helped us learn more about him than an hour of young clark growing up. (which we have seen time and time again.) This film is filled with surprises.

This film is about a young Clark Kent/ Kal-El growing into being Superman. The plot revolves around Clark finding out about his past, becoming something more, and trying to fit in. This film is very much a sci-fi film because it isn't just about Superman being here and us all accepting it. It is about an alien dealing with what he is in on earth. We see how the humans would react to him. This part we hardly ever get to see in a Superman mytho. It gives us a great "what if" scenario in the real world. This plot point was greatly accepted by me and you connect well with the film. There is a lot of plot points that aren't seen very often and especially in a Superman movie.

If Lois Lane is in a Superman film, we usually get a Superman movie turned into a Lois and Clark movie. We don't need that anymore. We had the 90s tv series to go through all that. Man of Steel takes a step away from the old love tale to be a minor thing that is just there. It works perfectly with the story they are telling. So if you are wanting a lot of Lois love going on, I'm sorry bud. Don't think Lois won't be seen in it, she is for sure here. By the end of the film you will see what direction the relationship will be going in later films. Amy Adams did a great job with her character. In fact, the cast was spot on everywhere! 

Superman is greatly known for his morals donned on him by his fathers both real and adopted, Pa Kent and Jor-El. These characters are quite possibly just as hard to cast as Superman himself. They nailed them dead on! The casting of Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner as Jor-El and Jonathan Kent, were hands down the best casting choices in recent movie history. Their performances were standouts and you just wanted to see more of them throughout. The scenes they were in were deeply important to us for understanding Clark as a person. We saw how he was molded morally by these men. To really feel the impact of that you must have a great actor portraying them. They greatly succeeded. 

Now, for the villains, we finally get to see the return of General Zod and his crew to the big screen. Their appearance in Superman II holstered a great cast of Terrance Stamp as Zod. So naturally thats what we compare any future ones too. Michael Shannon as Zod took a bold and dark take that gives a great commanding evil vibe. We see sides of Zod that we never have seen before in the scenes between him and Jor-El and learn why he is the way he is. Creepy and more layers than ever before can take a character long ways. Honestly, his sidekick Faora was a surprise because she has never had more than a few moments to show her evilness. She was greatly cast and scary as Zods right hand woman. 

The entire supporting cast was fantastic with only a few characters I wish we got fleshed out more. For instance, Laurence Fishburne's Perry White was an odd choice but worked great. Just wished we could have seen more of his comical side. Christopher Meloni was given a role he was born to play. Military. What else could you ask for from him? He did great and was given a few great lines. 

Director Zack Snyder is very talented with detail in all his films. Sometimes, so much he misses on story. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Watchmen and 300, but he has failed at Sucker Punch so bad I almost lost hope. Sorry for doubting you Zack! You gave great detail to Superman along with a briskly paced film that gives a different storytelling take on the character that works for most. We get to skip the moments we've seen more than enough before. Also, the idea to not use Superman's John William's theme was a big heartbreaker at first, but the new Hans Zimmer take gives it's on magical moments that just add depth to the scenes.

Man of Steel has proven itself to be a great take on Superman that many have wanted but many also are apprehensive towards a non "golden age" take on the character. The big climatic scene will push fans into a heated argument for the near future. I say it was a necessary take on Man of Steel to bring him into 2013 and give us a good idea where the DC connected film universe will be going down the road. As for origin films go, Man of Steel succeeds in many of the categories. It never slows down but is edgy enough to change some big set in stone factors and works for most people. The non-linear storytelling was a fresh approach to a comic book movie. The character development is pretty good though out on everyone except Clark kent getting his little quirky remarks to people. Maybe in future we will get more of that.

All said, Man of Steel was an accomplishment in that fact DC can make a hit other than Batman and with the world setting up a bigger shared universe, it is getting good for us. The origins of Superman have been told in this and will hopefully show repercussions in future films on his moral compass. We are heading in the right direction DC. Thank you!

'This is the End' Review

This is the End is on everyones radar because of the high concept of comedy stars (as themselves) surviving with each other during the apocalypse. You are intrigued, I know, but you are also weary to go further incase of let down. I must say you will be 'on cloud nine happy' how freaking funny this movie is! 

The film was inspired by a 2007 short film that Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel starred in called Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse. The short film was pretty promising and funny so it was nice to see they decided to expand upon it and go big or go home on it. 

The plot is strikingly simple: Jay Baruchel decided to come to LA from Canada to hangout with his buddy, Seth Rogan, and have fun together. Seth gets Jay, unwilling, to go to James Franco's house warming party. Jay doesn't like any of those guys and feels out of place and go out for cigarettes with Seth. Apocalyptic mayhem soon ensues. They are than forced to live with each other and other big name comedians like Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, and the awesome Danny McBride. Fun and messed up will for sure come from that mix of guys. 

The film gives you a sense of realism to a certain degree of those guys being themselves at a party filled with so much current talent it was awesome. You had a hilarious, I mean hilarious version of Micharl Cera than Kevin Hart, Emma Watson, Rihanna, Paul Rudd, Jason Segal, and a few great others. They were so funny in the scenes they were in. I will say there are a few brilliant cameos that will literally make you tear up laughing so hard. It made the movie go up +5 points for being so random and hilarious. The guy behind me was stomping laughing so hard. I won't spoil it for you I promise. *as I type the name and deleted it because I want to tell the world!!* 

The film is hilarious on its own accord, with the concept being funny, but the individual characters improvising is where the gold is. Director Evan Goldberg did a fantastic job of keeping the ball moving on the film with letting these guys literally be themselves and do their own sense of comedy. Surprisingly, all the jokes work great going off one another and will make you laugh just watching it. I know they are playing highly fictionalized version of themselves, but that is where they fun comes from all the way. I'm not really sure Jonah Hill is that overly nice, but I do believe that Danny McBride is that D#$% version of himself that is so fun to love to hate. Serously though Danny you are awesome if you ever read this review. He really did shine in the scenes he was in and almost stole the show.

I can't give all the credit of being great to Danny McBride because the whole cast did some of their best roles in a longtime. James Franco was hilarious, and Seth Rogen was actually really likable and couldn't have been better. I can't complain about any of the characters being so horrible they turned from being likable a-holes into straight up a-hole territory. It doesn't exist. 

So you have a film about end of the world, comedy, action, adventure, whats missing..oh wait..there is an actually bromance part to it that fits perfect. The film is a few sketches sewn together to make a hilarious film, but a big factor from beginning to end is the relationship between good friends Jay and Seth. The relationship is rocky and the beginning and gets worse than better. You really start to like these guys and want them to live. They did great on keeping the film grounded enough so you could get to know these guys better than a few great jokes. 

The only problems I could have with the film was one of it's best parts too. It really is a double edged sword. The simple plot gave room for times where it felt things needed to move on a little bit but they did great on trying to avoid it. The gore will make some uneasy because it was unexpected but it fits so well together it was meant to happen.

This is the End had an amazing cast, special effects, ideas, and cameos to make it a really fun film that will surpise a lot of people. It has its sweet moments, it's scary freaky moments, and its gut busting hilarious moments. If you are a fan of these guys previous films and humor, then you will greatly appreciate this film as one, if not, the best in their career to this point. And just think it was all without Judd Apatow behind the camera. If you coudn't care less about their usual humor than you will have trouble liking the running gags and few random jokes, but will likely find something you enjoyed a bit. 

B+ 

I will tell people I gave it an A because of the one fantastic cameo I promised I wouldn't tell. *I typed it again and deleted it! It's killing me!*

Full Trailer for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' is Here and it's Epic!

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures debuted the last and fullest trailer for Guillermo del Toro's baby Pacific Rim. This thing looks epic, like really epic epicness. It has amazing people behind the scenes and a fantastic cast that includes Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, and Ron Perlman.

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Hunnam) and an untested trainee —who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

This will be Epic!

New Full Trailer for Vin Diesel's 'Riddick' Looks Awesome!

Vin Diesel is a very complex man. He is huge and manly in every single way but he's also a huge nerd. He is a D&D Master since way back and has passion for sci-fi. Nothing proves that more than his Riddick Trilogy. This is his baby and I have to say with the budget raised independently with a pretty modest budget for a sic-fi epic of $38 million, it looks fantastic! I'm pleasantly surprised all around by this films look. 


In the film, the infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy.

Riddick hits theaters and IMAX on September 6th 

First Trailer for 'Arrested Development' Season 4!!

It's been seven years since the amazing 'Arrested Development' went lights out, but thats not keeping it down forever. Netflix decided to breath the life back into the Bluthe family for a 4th season that will stream all 15 episodes at midnight on May 26th. I recently decided to start watching the series on Neflix a few weeks ago because I've never seen it really (I know I'm crazy!!!). The show is pure comical genius and by the look of the trailer, it will still be a high point for the series. Check it out below.

The trailer is after the jump! 

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's 'The World's End' Trailer Arrives!

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are comedy duo gold. They always have been and always will be. They do their best work with fellow friend and director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz). They are now going to complete what they say is the final chapter of their stories together with a film called "The World's End". It looks hilarious and will likely be just that.

In "The World's End", a guy gets all his old friends back together to complete a pub crawl they weren't able to finish years ago. Well, things are quite different in their old hometown. Things go unexpectedly bad. scariness and hilarity are sure to come from that scenario. Just watch it and see for yourself.

The World's End opens in US on August 23

First Trailer for Elysium is Amazing!

TriStar has released the first trailer for District 9 directors new film Elysium on Yahoo and I must say I'm geeking out like any other sci-fi fan out there. Neil Blomkamp knows his expertise is sci-fi and he has another film up his sleeve that is star powered (Matt Damon, Jodie Foster) and full of so much awesomeness.

In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined planet. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the crime and poverty that is now rampant throughout the land. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that pits him against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.

Here is the trailer for Elysium that hits theaters on August 9th

Pick & Pull: April 3, 2013 - Age of Ultron, Thanos Rising, Uber + More!

You know the drill fellow nerdisters (thats a world right?). Pick & Pull time is here and this week is very Marvel sided and independent sided. That isn't a bad thing at all. Marvel has some big stuff going down for the next few months and its all here now and its big. Also, we get a pretty decent sized new series. Check them out!

Highlights:

Age of Ultron #4 - Marvel has quite a big story on their hands with this series and its getting more epic every week. This week has some big turns and will likely start some fan fighting!

Thanos Rising #1 - with Ultron being a major book, why not give other publishers another punch with Thanos? He will have a huge part in Marvels future in comics and movies. We know that. Although, do we know that much about him? I think not. So Marvel has this sweet series to get us better aquatinted with the purple guy.

Uber #0 - I don't like how books do a #0, but this series made up with having a oversized issue that is very nice. All you really need to know is you have supersoliders and WWII.

Abe Sapien #1 - We love Hellboy and the whole universe he is in. We all love Abe. Great Idea give him his own ongoing series. Oh wait! They are doing that this week and it will be awesome!

Action Comics #19 - Here is a DC book that was in need of a lot of help. It has a new creative team behind it that hopefully can turn this forgettable series into a greatness and the first issue is shaping up nicely with them.

Paramount Pictures Wants another G.I. Joe Movie in Near Future

Paramount Pictures announced they want to do another sequel in the G.I. Joe franchise after the second film G.I. Joe: Retaliation did exceptionally good at box office opening weekend with the second biggest opening in March with $51 million. Also, it had a smaller budget than the first ill-fated film with $130 million compared to $175 million and it made back it's budget worldwide opening. So of course Paramount wants some more muscles and ninjas in the future. 

So expect the third outing sometime likely between 2015-2017

The whole original cast including Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Maya Rudolph, Salma Hayek, and Nick Swardson are set to return without Rob Schneider anywhere in sight. Either they thought he wasn't funny or Rob knew something about how bad it could turn out. Smart man Rob.

Lenny (Sandler) having relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises: the last day of school.

Read Over 700 Marvel First Issues Now for Free!

UPDATE: The servers through Marvel's app and website to get the free issues seems to be down most of the day because all of us fans are stocking up on this pretty sweet promotion here, I'm assuming. So keep eyes peeled for when they come back. I just want my comics Marvel! (pretty smart to market this and not be able to give the people the product due to "issues" with server…sure Marvel *wink wink*)

Marvel announced that they will letting over 700 first issues ranging from the beginnings all the way to Marvel Now books, which are very recent. This is a pretty big marketing tool Marvel is taking and pretty smart one too. It will draw old readers back and draw new readers in to the dark side of geek world.


“This is the perfect way to show everyone how much we believe in our material by letting them try the first issues for free, because we’re sure once they start, they won’t stop,” says Marvel SVP – Sales, Digital & Print David Gabriel. “Week in and week out we ask fans to come check out our new releases—both in print and digitally—with the promise that we’ll bring them the best comics made by the best talent and managed by the best editorial team in the industry. Now, existing and news fans [alike] can discover the heroes they know and love and learn about new ones all at the same time.”


There is a great mix of recent comics—such as UNCANNY AVENGERS, ALL-NEW X-MEN, CIVIL WAR, AVENGERS VS. X-MEN—in here alongside classic #1’s—AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, FANTASTIC FOUR, CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS—so I’m confident in saying that no matter the era or the character you’re going to be very happy.

Also, I know many of you can't read 700 comics within a day. Not everyone can be like Will Hunting (too old of joke?). So Marvel is allowing you to download them all and they will remain on your account that you create through their website at comicstore.marvel.com or through their mobile app to read on your own slow paced time.

New Iron Man 3 Trailer is Crazy Awesome!

The newest trailer for Iron Man 3 hit the net and it's pretty epic! The first trailer gave us the feeling of dread and darkness, which is new for the series. Naturally we were wondering if the newest trailer would continue that mood and I have to say its there. I love it!

Shane Black taking over the reigns of the franchise was a fantastic breathe of air because of his great dialogue and sense of humor. You have to love Lethal Weapon or Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. The man has put his action background into overdrive for this film as the trailer shows. I only hope that Stark and Rhodes have a Lethal Weapon partner relationship feel to them.

Check out the insane action driven trailer below

The CW Renews Arrow and Supernatural!

The CW finally listed off their first renewals of the upcoming season with giving new seasons to, well their biggest (best shows) Supernatural and Arrow. 

Supernatural is the longest running series on the CW with 9 seasons after this next year, premiering way back in 2005 on than The WB *tears I miss it*. The series recently saw an increase in viewers since being on right after freshman series Arrow.

Arrow, the youngling series, was a no brainer for renewal since it had the biggest series premiere on CW since 2009. Also, holding the biggest draw of viewers on the network every week. It's the golden boy of the network and expect big stuff for the 2nd season. 


CW is very excited about this releasing the statement: “We said last year that one of our goals was to establish building blocks to grow on," says Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW, "and now with our new hit 'Arrow' and fan favorite 'Supernatural' on Wednesday night, and the continued success of 'The Vampire Diaries' on Thursday, we’ve been able to do that. Not only do 'Arrow', 'Supernatural', and 'The Vampire Diaries' perform well on-air, they’re also extremely successful for us both digitally and socially. I’m thrilled to have all three shows returning to our schedule next season.”


Also, since CW is taking a cool trend into more of cool not high school soaps, we get a renewal of the popular teen vampire series Vampire Diaries. 

No News on other shows yet on CW, but who watches any of those? do you? 

Comics: Pick & Pull for February 6th, 2013

This is a new thing that I will be trying out here and there, but essentially it's a post to show you what comes out this week in comics that I (maybe not you) believe will be worth checking out.

All-New X-Men #7 - There are a lot of books featuring X-Men or members of it, but this book just takes the cake for being so great every single issue and a must read. We get to see how Mistique will interact with the original X-Team…very very interesting. 

Superior Spider-Man #3 - This series just created so much controversy from the beginning and how they are messing with spideys past relationships, but you know what? This series has pushed all the right buttons so far and created amazing dialogue and scenarios that makes it fun to read. 

Hit Girl #5 (of 5) - Finally! I gave up on waiting for this book to come out that I almost forgot to add it to the list. Hit Girl is finally getting the closing chapter it had been needing for quite some time now.

New Trailer for Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem

The new trailer for Rob Zombie's new horror film The Lords of Salem has arrived online and well it's directed towards more normal audience than the last trailer, but still very good. 

Rob Zombie has been working on this film for quite some time now and I'm actually more intrigued by this now, being I'm a huge fan of Devil's Rejects and sorta Halloween but still a big fan of this guy. 

Synopsis: From the singular mind of horror maestro Rob Zombie comes a chilling plunge into a nightmare world where evil runs in the blood. The Lords of Salem tells the tale of Heidi (Sheri Moon Zombie), a radio station DJ living in Salem, Massachusetts, who receives a strange wooden box containing a record, a “gift from the Lords.” Heidi listens, and the bizarre sounds within the grooves immediately trigger flashbacks of the town’s violent past. Is Heidi going mad, or are the “Lords of Salem” returning for revenge on modern-day Salem?

The Lords of Salem hit theaters on April 19th

Teaser Poster for Fast & Furious 6 has Arrived

This is kind of a cool teaser poster for Fast & Furious 6 (Holy cow! already up to 6 films) that was posted by Vin Diesel himself on Facebook. The poster arrives just before the 60 second Super Bowl spot hitting later tonight, which I will post later.

Here is the official synopsis that was posted online a few days ago.


Since Dom and Brian's Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. 

Meanwhile, Hobbs has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

Fast & Furious 6 drives into theaters on May 24th
