  Books I'm Reading: Graphic Novels

  

  Been reading a lot of Comic Book/ Graphic Novels and enjoying reading them and here are some i am reading them. I?m back enjoy reading graphic novels i am discovering some new stuff so that is good and i don?t just read the super hero stuff which is great but the non super hero stuff is always awesome. so here is what i have been reading -

  The Ultimates - This is a great series this is really a modern version of the avengers and a mature take on the avengers. And updates all the characters to the modern world and starting with thor is this kind of hippie character Also you have Antman And wasp are in this but antman hits his wife wasp and gets really messed up in parts. I have only read the first book and its great and the you have the ultimates version of the skrulls and you have the hulk issue and some great stuff with the modern stuff, Just an awesome series and have already ordered the 2nd book.

  Uncanny X-Force - I have read 2 books in this series and i am really liking it, its a team in the marvel universe and they don?t don?t always get on it makes it interesting with wolverine leading this team it is just awesome. Deadpool does add something to the team. This is a very cool series and really looking foward to read more of this series.

  Captain America: Winter Solider - I have been meaning to read more captain america and reading i just loved the story but the character you also the character winter solider in this story and what an awesome character i really want to read more on him now.

  The Boys - This has been a series i have been reading from the start this series is who it is gory and and full of sex to do with ?superheroes in the series' universe are corrupted by their celebrity status and often engage in reckless behavior, compromising the safety of the world. For this reason, a superpowered CIA squad, known informally as "The Boys", is charged with monitoring the superhero community.? i love the book because it takes the superhero genre over the top and its so fun to read.

  American Vampire - I have been meaning to read this for a while and just sounded awesome and it looked like a great vampire story and after reading i got to say i loved it and i was not expecting to love it. With stephen kings name on it and you get why because this is an awesome story and a great take on a vampire on story and it maybe a slow burn but there is this one character called Skinner Sweet who makes this book worth reading he is awesome but he has this great origin story in this book a must read book.

  House Of M - A very good event from the marvel universe ? in which the mutant superhero Scarlet Witch suffered a mental breakdown and tried to alter the fabric of reality to recreate her lost children. Scarlet Witch's father, Magneto, and her twin brother, Quicksilver, played major roles in the series.? I really liked this book a lot and i loved the focus on wolverine and seeing in this event how mutants are loved and it is a very interesting take if this was a real future. Its interesting what has changed for people and some great action stuff and they find out this isnt reality is great to see and there plan to get back to reality and dr. stange?s role in the book this is a great book.

  Y The Last Man - I finally finished this series and loved it, it has a very interesting end but overall the whole series is just awesome about the last man on earth with his pet monkey some great stuff in this series.

  Criminal - Ed Brubaker has become one of my fav writers and i have only read the first volume of this book and its so good i really want to read the other volumes and its something different because its not a superhero story. It is a great story but it is a slow burn and its very interesting read and the art looks really good.

  Batman: Court Of Owls - With the dark knight rises coming out soon i want to read more batman so i got this book and i found it really interesting and goes into the past of the waynes which is really interesting. And has robin and nightwing in the story whih is always good and some interesting stuff happens. Also i wanted to read more of bane i got Batman: Knightfall which i have heard inspires the dark night rises and is when bane famously brok batman?s back (will that happen in the film ?) and is the most famous bane story and i think nolan read this book and the trailer makes it looks like he has and i can?t wait to read it but its like 600+ pages,

  I have a big pile of unread graphic novels so im working my way through that because of the new spider-man film i ordered some book on the character and some more captain america to read some big marvel events like civil war and a book that has thanos in it. I have never read invincible but have wanted to so i got a thick book on this series so it should be interesting and some wolverine and more so i got a lot of graphic novels to read.

  Prometheus: Letdown Of The year ?

  

  (i don?t try to spoil it but i might so be warned and i didn?t see it 3D.)

  My First Thoughts:

  This has been a movie i have been excited for since we heard they were making another movie in the alien universe that wasn't another AVP movie. I was excited to see another movie in the alien universe and how it all started was good new and we got this big letdown but at least it was interesting. I was really hyped and then the reviews came out and said it was bad and i thought whatever and then i saw it and i have to agree the big problems with this movie was the story and the script and thats what the reviews were say and after seeing this movie this could have been a epic sci-fi movie but we got a letdown that was interesting in the alien universe. The big problems with this movie it doesnt answer the questions it asks and you just hate it for it there is not just one question it doesnt answer there are lot and thats what destroys it in the end and with the story as well which could have been better and with them wanting to do promethus 2 ??? they better not get the guy who wrote lost. The movie starts with asking question like who the hell is this alien thing and i got to say the better parts of this movie is the directing how good it looks. You see 2 people are looking for the hints to out creators and goes off to find them and rushing this part of the movie is something i disliked and really doesnt make sense they say something like this is an invitation or something and suddnley your on ship with people on the missions and sounds like they didn't even know what the mission was before i just don't get that, they could have set that up way better of the movie. You get introduced to the crew of this ship starting with the android played by Fassbender and who is awesome and maybe the best actor in the cast and you see him doing all this stuff on ship before waking up rest of the crew, but in the whole movie is awesome but some of things he does are not explained and would be so much better if they were. Idris Elba plays the captain he is the guy who drives the ship and he is awesome but i have always loved this actor since i saw him in the wire but has been great in other stuff like luther and even the new ghost rider film but in this this he does a great job and i love what his character does at the end. Charlize Theron plays Meredith Vickers who really is the boss and has twist that really didn?t need to do and like her a lot and she is one of the better actress out there and she is awesome as the mega ass in this movie and has some great moment like when someone is infected and there is this big standoff. Noomi Rapace is the lead actress in this movie and i just don?t buy some of her moments in this character and tried to hard to try and make her like ripley. you had the aliens or whatever they were called and i found them very interesting i wished they exlpored them more and gave us more answers and then there were these other alien things that i really didn?t understand but yeah.

  The movie had some interesting moments besides the bad things and some of the interesting stuff was the aliens and exploring who they are and i just wished they explored that more and gave us the answers we wanted. I loved the scenes when they first explore the area in the caves or whatever you want to call the area, it was interesting and liked seeing and what these things were and when you have 2 people alone down and some interesting stuff happen and i liked that but what the hell was up with the black goo ? The scenes on the ship were great and seeing the characters talk and that were interesting but i find Idris and theron?s character interaction were awesome something i liked a lot. But i found the movie more interesting even though everything didn?t get explained and i find that just a bad thing and what was wrong with this film. when stuff was getting messed up that was interesting people getting infected and dying and the added with that tension music was good but i founf the baby is an alien thing straight from the other movies but i liked how they didnt but just felt to much the same. The big action scene at the end was awesome even though she just ripped out an alien out from her i could not understand her running full on even with this injury and the death to one of the characters at the end which involves one of them crush was not a great way to go out for this character well thats what i thought. And a birth of a certain alien right at the end i thought was just there for fan service and didn?t like it or hate it but if they did more with i would have loved that scene and with one character going off with a hea of another character to find the answers really fustrated me so it like we have to wait another movie to get the answers which just pisses e off where we should of got them in these movies.

  
  overall: I found the movie interesting but it wasn?t what it should have been like something epic and at least as good as the first 2 alien films and this movie had a lot of problems which there were a lot to not answering the questions we wanted and i could have wrote more about this movie but there was a lot i hated and but found some of it very interesting and i wish this wasn?t part of the alien universe because of a bad script. This was just a big letdown for me which was something that sucked i just hope spider-man and the dark knight rises are not letdowns and i don?t think they will.
