'Man of Steel' Full Trailer

Now I grant you, this posting is a few days late, but that is what happens during finals time, things get a bit crazy and hectic and little wacky. Regardless, I am here now to dialogue about the full trailer for Warner Bros. and DC Comics new summer release, 'Man of Steel'. Ok, lets a go! 

To start out, I really like that we get a full glimpse of Krypton, and Russel Crowe and Ayelet Zurer as Jor-El and Lara. They both look amazing in full makeup and costume, and the scenery for Krypton is much cooler and more alien looking than, dare I say, the Krypton of the classic Christopher Reeves film. Yes, I went there. Maybe it's because as a writer I think a Krypton like this is way cooler to envision than a ice world. But hey, that's just me. 

The rest of the trailer, showing Clark's young life, his search for who he is, then full coming into his own as Superman, it is really quite fantastic. And I love the hinting's we get at the true scope of his powers, they are like tiny tasty tidbits of awesome. And the few bit's where we see Michael Shannon as General Zod, oh man oh man that is some good stuff I tell you what. 

All in all, I'm very excited for this film, and for all the great films coming out this summer. Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, Star Trek Into Darkness, The Great Gatsby. As man who loves all things comic book based, as well as literature, I look forward to each of these films with great anticipation. But for now I must get back to work, finals are next week, and I have lots to do. 

For all who have yet to see the full trailer, here it is! Enjoy and keep those calendars marked, those tickets pre-ordered and if you are dressing up in costume for the event, keep the costumes clean, neat and wrinkle free!

Four Months...Dear Lord.

I officially have become the laziest guy ever. Four months, four months since my last posting. My only excuse, college just got really crazy busy. So I am going to make this a general post about, well all sorts of things.

Comic Book Updates 

So where to start. I guess I can't really take all the stuff that has happened, and condense it into one post. A series of posts maybe. One thing I can talk about, is the digital comic that popular podcast group Decoder Ring Theatre has been putting out via Comixology, published by MonkeyBrain Comics. 'Mask of the Red Panda' is a terrific series (albeit a short one) but it really exposes people to the Red Panda universe who have never listened to episodes of the show before. Hopefully, it will actually get people interested. The story is written by Decoder Ring founder and chief bottle washer Gregg Taylor, with art by the incredibly talented Dean Kotz. Here's a look at a one of the covers, and if that strikes your fancy, head over to Comixology and search 'Mask of the Red Panda.



Movies 

Oh wow, now this is a huge one. Ok, I'm just gonna break it down. There are so many amazing and incredible films coming out for the summer. So for those who actually do not know when, Iron Man 3 comes out May 3rd, Man of Steel comes out June 14th, and Star Trek Into Darkness comes out May 17th. Oh and for a piece of new movie news, the first piece of movie concept art for Captain America: The Winter Soldier (hits theatre's April 4, 2014). This piece of art alone, looks fantastic, cause you have Bucky rocking the bionic arm and the long-haired look, and I mean that aside, I have always been a huge fan of Captain America, so this movie is one' that I'm looking forward to so so much.


Ok so, the post is a short one, but I covered two things today. That aside, I'm back in the saddle, and with the films coming out, there will be much to write about. So keep reading loyal followers, keep enjoying life and keep being awesome people. Excelsior!
