When talking about film you tend to bring up movies that were complete and utter brilliance. You mention in detail films that changed the way we look at how the art form is done today. You probably even go on copious amounts of rants and tangents explaining how said film has inspired you in various ways.

I on the other hand, do the exact opposite.

To me these conversations tend to lose their interest. I do in fact enjoy them, but I feel you end up spewing same points and bullets over and over again. Why not bring up films you enjoy for the sake of enjoying? Whether they be good or bad bring them up. That is exactly what I'm going to do.

I have for you all a list of the top 5 films I like that most people tend to hate. Check it out HERE:

Our Turtles Have A New Look

ComicBookMovie.Com just released to the public what may be the final design for our new Ninja Turtles.

The design seems fairly close to that of the original, but with a bit more of a kick. To me they actually look a bit too realistic that it's scary. 

Don't you worry though. As far as I can tell they will not look as bad as the Halloween costume that was released a week back.

Story/Premise

Review of the Book

With this issue of Superior Spider-Man being the final in the Darkest Hours story arc, I feel like I was expecting a bigger, and bit more complex ending to the arc then what we got. This issue was not bad by any means, but I can't sit here and say it was a 10/10 book either. It was a fun ride and we finally got the "return" of *spoiler warning* Peter Parker! Well, kind of. I was happy yet annoyed at the same time because, well, IT'S PETER! I was annoyed because it's somewhat of a plot hole. How did Peter's conscious come back when in issue #09 he completely forgets who he is? *spoiler over* Most of this issue consisted of us seeing an all out brawl between the Avengers, and "The Superior Venom" which was epic and crazy! Finally the Avengers get called in, and they're finally doing something about Spider-Ock! But yet when the dust settles, they still think everything is fine and dandy once Flash has the symbiote? The issue ends with the Avengers as well when we see Tony looking through the files and finding something out about Spider-Man that we all don't know and Captain America saying "That's it. Time to bring in Spider-Man." Okay? Wasn't that supposed to happen in this issue? I'm kind of irritated with the fact that most of the MU's character's intelligence has had to be dumbed down in order for Spider-Ock to continue on. Even when Stark was going through the avengers files, Spider-Woman was trying to tell him that he isn't a Skrull so there isn't anything to worry about. I don't know if it's just me, but I really think that they would realize something is still up. Which, they somewhat did after the fight, and THANK GOD Tony Stark still thinks something is up. So I'm expecting that the next issue we will see the Avengers really confront Spidey while Hobgoblin and Green Goblin are going at it. Speaking of Goblins! We see the introduction of a new Goblin! It's a certain little police lady turned Goblin and I think it'll be interesting to see how big of a role she plays in the upcoming Goblin arc. We may have also found out who is behind the Green Goblin mask because he nonchalantly said that he's Norman Osborn. Do I think he really is? No. I don't think it's Slott's writing style to just put something out there, and as he said in a recent interview, "there's always a twist." The best part of this issue in my opinion is definitely the development right now going on with all the Goblins. Kingsley, and the Goblin Army are an awesome side story going on, and next issue it all comes to a head and I cannot wait! Slott is doing a fantastic job of developing that side story! Overall the writing in this issue stays constant with how the writing has been in the entire Superior Spider-Man series. Absolutely AMAZING at times, and just average or below average at other times. I think the only reason I'm disappointed in this issue, and somewhat in the arc, is because I was hoping we would see an all out brawl between Agent Venom and Spider-Ock, but hey! It was still fun seeing Spider-Ock bond with the symbiote. The art by Humberto Ramos in this issue is standard Ramos art though I think it felt a bit rushed in some parts of the issue, but is still very well done as it usually is. Overall, the Darkest Hours story arc was one of the better arcs from this series so far and with the ending of series coming up, I'm interested and excited to see what the final chapter has in store for us!

WHY TO BUY!

Nova #012 - Comic Review

@4theFanMovies

title: Nova #012

price: $3.99

publisher: Marvel Comics

writer: Gerry Duggan

artist: Paco Medina

Story/Premise

Hot on the trail of the missing Nova Corps, Nova and manages to save the lives of some new friends in deep space.

Review of the Book

I started reading Nova back on issue #07 because of the Superior Spider-Man appearance but ended up loving the character of Sam Alexander, and loved the way the book was structured. I then picked up the book during Infinity because two of the issues were tie ins so I wanted to see exactly how much it would actually tie into the story. THEN I found out that Gerry Duggan(current Deadpool writer) was going to be taking over the series so I decided to read it monthly as it would come out. I have to say, I believe that Gerry Duggan does a great job, especially in this issue, of characterizing Sam and further developing him as a young hero, and just a person in the Marvel Universe. Issue #012 was a fun ride that takes place completely in space and to me, felt heavily like Sam had entered the Star Wars universe. There were tons of aliens, a large space battle, and that perfect amount of sci-fi and super hero realism. One of the issues I had with this issue though was in the very beginning when Sam encounters the Nova hunter, Cadivan. Based on issue #11 I expecting Cadivan to play a large role and there to be some crazy battle between Sam and Cadivan. Instead, we got, what I felt was portrayal of what could have been something epic. In issue #11 Cadivan was shown to be almost as a Kraven the Hunter type of character, but in this issue, he seemed very timid and weak. It could quite possibly be that way because Duggan wants us to feel like Cadivan doesn't  care about Sam, but when Sam proves himself sometime down the line, the hunter realizes that Sam's helmet is an applicable and good trophy to have. Or, it just might have been mis-representation, or me expecting to much. The major part about this book that I really enjoyed was the scene where Sam finds the old broken down Nova ship, that turns out to be *spoiler warning* a space pirate ship *spoiler over* and ends up helping them escape from the good guys. I felt like it was a great twist and sets up the encounter with Beta Ray Bill, which is set to happen next issue. The art in this book has consistently been good and has a total Marvel-esque feel to it. Nothing special, but definitely not bad and fits in with the universe.  As I said earlier in the review, Gerry Duggan has really brought a new charm to the character of Sam Alexander and I can't wait to see how much Sam learns, when he comes face to face with Beta Ray Bill!
