Frank Cho’s variant cover for The Ultimates 3 #3
Is she going swimming? Is she going to an awesome rave party? Does she have a date with a stripper dance pole? Did she accidentally say “No more clothes”? Is this Marvel’s way of rewarding me for pre-ordering the whole Ultimates 3 mini? How did they know I’m a sucker for redheads in skimpy scarlet attire? One thing’s for sure, though. Frank Cho draws lovely wimmens.
OK, I give up. I tried it weekly. I tried it monthly. It’s just a hassle forcing myself into reviewing comics on a regular schedule. So to my self-imposed system of blogging about new comic releases, I say fuck you. I’m winging it from now on. Blogging shouldn’t feel like work. It should be fun, especially if it’s about comic books. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here’s a few notes on storylines that ended/started during the last month:
I wouldn’t be a comic book fan if it weren’t for the X-Men. It was Xavier’s merry mutants who brought me to the dance. I loved them. I hated them. I abandoned them. I came back to them. And now, I love them again.
I was a huge fan of the 90’s X-Men animated series. The quality of the animation was just so different from all the other animated shows at the time. I bought bootleg X-Men trading cards every single day when I was in my late grade school years to expand my knowledge of the whole mutant universe. Then I saw Marvel comic books at the mall I used to frequent, and an addiction was born.
That’s basically Marvel Comics right now in the context of Spider-Man’s recent overhaul. OK, first, if you haven’t heard of One More Day, you’ve been living under a rock in a non geeky planet in another dimension.
Last year, I unleashed the 2006 Awesome List. Since I already have Face Rockery this year, I think a name change will be appropriate. The 2007 Face Rocking List will showcase the things in comics and pop culture that totally rocked my face this year. In no particular order:
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
