Secret Wonder con footage of the up coming green lantern movie. Wondering what the movie will look like? All that space? All the aliens? WAH everything looks awesome. Yah agreed there's some interpretations of the lantern and the costume, but that's not the point. Visually looks awesome. Story well we'll see but I think Reynolds will do a good job. He did nail the oath at the San Diego Comic-con when asked at a live Q&A. Credit goes to him for getting right into the character.
Enjoy the next 4 minutes, it's going to be pretty glorious and awesome.

GREEN LANTERN OFFICIAL TRAILER #1 FIRST RELEASE!!!
Hey Fans I know it's been waiting and here it is the first Green Lantern Trailer From DC Comics.
Enjoy and Leave your thought. I think it looks awesome. No Story so far, but it looks great. Even the space scenes. At this point story doesn't matter because the real question is... how would a space based superhero play out on the big screen and look real. So far looks awesome. Hit Play and enjoy.

Absolute Batman Hush: Jeph Loeb, Jim lee, Scott Williams. DC Comics
Bet you didn't notice the Smiley face in Jokers eye |
Absolute Batman Hush is the collected edition of Batman issues 608-619. By far some of the best looking art work and one of the best stories in the Batman series. Thanks to Jeph Loeb it's a great ride in to the depths of Batman with pretty much every Gotham villain showing up and even Superman all the way from Metropolis flying through the pages. Scott Williams does an incredible job of making the pencils come to life. If you like art and a story this is one to read, now on to the product.
The Goods what you care about.
The slipcase. Well I have to say the slip case isn't all to impressive. It's a matte finish with the words HUSH in a gloss finish on both sides of the slipcase. I was hopping for some different artwork on each side. It looks cool but not overly creative.
As you can see the front and the back have the same image. Nothing to creative here.
The slipcover/dust jacket. One guess what the cover is....Yup the same image cover as the slipcase, only this time in color. The back has a small vertical bar of what looks like original art and that's it. So at the moment its hard to see whats so big about this and why I'm all excited. I realized the same thing once I looked closer at it.
I tried my best to keep the pictures interesting despite the lack of creativity. The front cover is still the same image.
The hardcover. Well another of what seems like lapse in creativity, the hardcover is wrapped in faux leather with the words HUSH embossed near the spine, also the spine has the credits embossed on it. Same style and font as seen on the dust jacket.
The hardcover a lot of the same image ad concept just repeated. Good thing the insides are what make the book.
The inside. I have to say this is where they had kept all the good stuff. Getting to see Jim Lees art in 8x12 inches is awesome. There's just so much there that wasn't seen before. The back has added commentary and additional drawings and cover art for the variant issues. Just take a look at the pictures and you'll understand why this absolute is so great. This time the inside pages are what makes this book a real piece to own, and well worth adding to the collection. This is the best way to read comics especially with art as detailed as Jim Lee's. I also had a special treat from Jim when he came to the local Comic book show. I knew he was Korean and knew he had a Korean name (also he referenced it in the Hush absolute commentary) so as an extra I got him to sign my book with the usual signature....And then I asked him if he could sign his Korean name too. To my surprise no one had ever asked him to do that before. I think I started a trend and the next time I see him it'll be Korean name and Signature together. Looks awesome see below.
So I think we have a new trend here. The Jim Lee Korean signature. (above)
Below a sample of the page with probably the 2 most favorite Jim Lee covers to date as well as the back cover.
The story. Well this was one of my favorites, and a must on my list to re-read. Every villain pretty much makes an appearance and is incorporated in a great plot. This is a must read and a must have for your collection. Whether it be in the single issue, trade or absolute format make sure you read this story. If you like the art then there is more incentive to read it, if you like the story read it still.
Final thoughts. At the original list price of $50USD this was a steal for 12 issues, a commentary section and a Jim Lee sketch book. Today the price still floats around $50-$80 so its still affordable. The absolute size does give you a better view of the art work and makes it a better read. Seeing the art up close brings all of Jim Lee's little Easter eggs to light. Take for instance Jim putting his Korean name on the head band of one of the sushi chefs, only known after reading the commentary and re-reading. This is a must get for all the content inside, and 12 issues for $50 in an over-sized format its an easy choice.
8 Batarangs out of 9 (due to the poor use of artistic creativity on the outside material, but who judges a book by it's cover anyways)

DC UNIVERSE ONLINE: The newest most amazing looking piece coming out of the DC VAULT
Like all great Comics, TV shows, Anime and other such great series that capture a worldwide audience, there are fillers. There will always be fillers. YES this is a filler post to help ease the tension of the next great blog review.
With the release of everything superhero just getting better and better. This has got to be the next level of where cartoons need to go and those cartoon/animation movies too. Finally a darker bad-ass side of the DC Universe comes out to play and oh do we love it. When you have all the character design by superstar Jim Lee... Nuff Said. The game unfortunately is only going to be released on PC and the Playstation 3, I bet it hits the xbox 360 just a few months after. The game is apparently a MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) Action Game. Not sure what that means, but who cares until the beta gets released. CHECK OUT THE TRAILER and the Website.

Absolute Green Lantern Rebirth: Geoff Johns & Ethan Van Sciver
Front Cover Slipcase |
Back Cover Slipcase |
The Goods (What You care about):
The slipcase has a sort of matte finish with certain accents finished in high gloss. Starting from right to left. Classic Green lantern pose with the power battery on the front. Back cover art is a green lantern fist, makes a strong powerful statement (it really embodies the rebirth aspect).
The slipcover has a high gloss finish with two very nice covers. One from the rebirth hardcover (front) and rebirth issue 6 on the back. The one thing that makes absolute editions so great are the over-sized pages, they really let you see the art for what it really is... AMAZING.
From left to right: front of slipcover, front of hardcover, back of slipcover, back of hardcover
Take the slipcover off and the hardcover has 2 more covers this time its finished in a matte finish. Here's a treat, I was at the local fan expo this year (2010) and I lined up to get a signature from Ethan Van Sciver. I asked him to sign my absolute edition and kindly asked if her would do a head sketch for me. It was funny he said "I dont know if it will turn out that good I don't have my good pens with me, would it be ok if i used this? (referring to a medium tip sharpie)" Here's the resulting... I guess mediocre drawing.
Ethan Van Sciver's Mediocre Green Lantern on the inside front page. Also thought to add the back inside back page. |
The absolute pages are on the left ad the comic book page is on the left. The size difference really makes a case for why absolutes are the new way to read comics. |
The Story: well tt's all about the return of Hal Jordan the "original" green lantern (don't count Alan Scott or Abin Sur) of sector 2814 (Earth). Won't say much else just read it, it'll give you a better understand of Geoff Johns blackest night and brightest day and pretty much everything important in the DC universe right now.
Final Thoughts:
Read this story arc. READ IT, its good and well worth getting an overview of most things Green Lantern. If you can get your hands on the absolute get it and read it that way.
This would be considered a buy if the price tag wasn't $75, GET IT IF AND ONLY IF you can get it for a huge discount, its pricey but satisfying if you get it for a discount.
