I entered the Sex Criminals #11 cover lottery today, hoping to snag a signed and sketched cover. Unfortunately, I came up short and received the regular cover. I also bought the XXX Bryan Lee O’Malley variant that I mentioned on the latest Tuesday Night Comics Podcast. It is very NSFW and…in your face. Here are the back covers: I like that both back covers are different from each other. The regular cover is on the left and the Bryan Lee O’Malley variant is on the right. And here are the front covers: I really like how the Bryan Lee O’Malley variant is done to look like the box art of a classic NES game. It’s well designed, and has a lot of humor in it, but maybe don’t whip this cover out on the bus and start reading. But if you do, please tweet us a picture of yourself doing so to...
Ant-Man – Review...
posted by Billy Henehan
I’ve been a bit behind on my movie reviews. Looking over recent posts will definitely confirm this. I’ve actually seen a few movies that I just haven’t had to sit down to review. I’m hoping to turn the review train around with today’s review of Ant-Man. Ant-Man is the latest movie from the consistently excellent Marvel Studios. Think about the comic book movies you’ve liked best over the past seven years. Chances are they’re mostly Marvel Studios movies. Yes, Warner had The Dark Knight and Fox gave us X-Men: Days of Future Past, but by and large, the great superhero movies are coming from Marvel Studios. In the comic books, Ant-Man is founding member of the Avengers, but he didn’t make it into the first two Avengers movies. It’s safe to say that Ant-Man is definitely not a household name. Unlike Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man comics have not been met with much success over the past few years (decades?). That’s why I think it’s great that Marvel Studios has taken a B-list (C-list?) superhero and made an A-list movie out of him. Spoilers follow after the poster. You’ve been warned. Paul Rudd plays the title character in Ant-Man. Like in the comics, Rudd’s character Scott Lang is not the first to wear the Ant-Man costume. The first Ant-Man was Hank Pym, the scientist who discovered Pym particles, which allow things to be shrunk or enlarged. In the comics, Pym is a straight-up scientist turned costume adventurer. In the movie, a major change is made to his background. Pym is still a scientist, but also a secret agent of SHIELD. He’s like a tiny Winter Soldier – sent out on secret missions, with people thinking he’s nothing more than an urban legend among the...
