Reviews featuring Space Iguanas and Oddly different GOTG(though I think I know why not the iguanas though)

Thanks to my best friend Tom for providing me with Guardians of the Galaxy .1 and 1 and Thanos Rising 1.



Now issue one is a good retelling expansion on the origin of Starlord. One weird thing about it is that the depiction of his father doesn't mess with the character in GOTG 1. There is also the fact that Peter suddenly has blond hair but I think there is a reason for that which I will get to next issue.


Okay issue one is mostly a team re-intro and Iron Man joining with his awful new armor.Groot,Raccoon,and Drax seem to be the same characters has previous. Gamora is slightly odd to me almost like Topaz from the Ultraverse right down to her weapons that might be unintentional,.I will get to Starlord in a moment but first the plot. Peter meets with his Father who is suddenly King of the Universe(which makes no sense whatsoever) and rules over Kree/Shiar etc lot of help you did there during those wars and stuff schmuck. So King Quill said Earth is off limits form aliens so he can conquer it huh? Yeah I don't get it either.
Now to Starlord he is back from the dead with no explanation,blond,and back to his original costume.On the letters page of both issues the word infinite is brought up when referring to Starlord. So I figured out that this Starlord and possibly his Father and the whole GOTG heck the whole universe in this book is not the 616 version. That or a wizard did it.

 

Thanos Rising expands on his origin gearing up for his appearance in some movie :) The weird thing about this book is the space iguanas that feature on Titan the Eternals home. I don't know if this was Jason Aaron's or Simone Bianchi's choice but it's really silly looking. Heck they may have featured years ago and I don't remember but they change other things why not that? This comic was well written and while Bianchi is a great artist I still haven't read something that his art fit. Oh and spoiler alert the girl talking to teen Thanos is Death :)
 Until the utter collapse of Civilization Make Mine Marvel,DC,Image,Drak Horse,IDW,Valiant etc

Geeze where have I been? bits and bits

So sorry for lack of posts if you are even still reading this out there. :)
Here is a bit of this and that ramblings about whatever comes to mind has I stare at the computer screen
Top Chef- I have been following Top Chef since the start and generally find it engaging and good for what is essential a cooking reality show. The last few seasons and more so especially this season they are getting me to be less interested in the show cause they are doing something that I would consider something that the show didn't do before. That is they are catering to the bickering reality show stereotype. Top Chef was one of the few programs that didn't feature constant arguments and bad guy characters sure there was Marcel but he was more of a weasel then a bad guy. Has of the current season though they now have a guy who was labeled the bad guy chef right from the start and it's aggravating and dumb. I watch Top Chef to see cool dishes ,how chefs work ,and occasionally cute female chefs (cause I am shallow and human,this season its Danyell by the way )

FF- so FF number one came out this past week I am still broke but I need to read this

Spiderman- Unlike other people I am not up and arms about the ending of Amazing Spiderman at issue 700 cause guess what Marvel did it already about 10 yrs ago when JMS run began or before that with Byrne's run. The spoilers I heard about sound pretty intriguing and I don't fear change in comics like certain "comic fans". Dan Slott is a good writer who get's crap for something he has nothing to do with though he did hold up the Sundays Comic panel from starting one year at Wizard World Philly but I won't hold it against him.

Chikara-this Sunday on smvod.com Chikara presents Under the Hood

Continue?- If I haven't plugged this show I don't know why but watch http://www.youtube.com/user/ContinueShow
This Sunday since I can't afford to watch Chikara also broadcasting from Philly Continue will be streaming gaming stuff http://www.facebook.com/events/135739993242048/

Arrow-I will do more later on this show but if you haven't tried it out yet watch this. Not for people who cry foul at changes to a comic charater just for the sake of complaining really good action and story and likable characters. I just hope we see Black Canary down the line
