So the Spider man movie comes out this week,friday to be exact.Even though I can't stand Marvel,i'll probably be dragged to see this film which looks good and bad.It looks like they relied to heavily on cgi.However,I do beleive if it does good the first weekend,it will be very good for the comic industy as a whole.It will get people into the comic shops more.Free comic day is the day after the movie and there wil lbe 4 free comics,and i'll be helping the guys in Hanley's,cause everyone knows that some people will come up with every comic in the store wanting it for free.But,like I said,if it gets people in the shops and makes them buy,it's good.The soundtrack for the movie is pretty solid as well,i've downlaoded a few of the songs already.Anyway,nighty night goes the FaNBoY.

Been a while, Yes I know,but it's not like anyone reads this anyway. But in the case some people do ,I shall go on. Spring cleaning is not fun, but it had to be done ,and i'm still not entirely finished.
There was no Alias on last night so that blew monkey chunks. Justice League was good, especially the end.
Comic-wise, JLA#65 was awesome, very well done, Even Mankhe's art was good. Superboy#99 was inresting. Not bad,but interesting ,gonna be a shame to see it go after the next issue. Action Comics#790 was kinda bad/kinda good. The Super titles have been real hit and miss lately. They need to keep McGuinness and Churchill.

I was watching the Justice League cartoon(which rocks)today. They had "The Justice Guild of America" on. Apparently the reason it wasn't the actual Justice Society of America is there was a small dispute between Cartoon Network and DC Comics. CN wanted the Classic golden age JSA, while apparently DC said it didn't want to go back to the cheesiness of the golden age .So we were stuck with things like, "Cat Man" in place of wildcat, and, "The Green Guardsman" instead of the golden age GL. Still it was a pretty good episode. But by far the highlight for me was after it was over. There was a Cartoon Network ad that made me laugh my ass off. It had the old super friends animation. Aquaman and Wonder Woman are tied up over a vat of lava. Aquaman says, "My ability to talk to fish is no use here!",While Wonder Woman gives a "What a fucking moron this guy is" eye roll. Suddenly the Powerpuff girls bust through the roof, making Lex Luthor exclaims, "It's the PowderPuff girls!" to which the scream at him "PoWerpuff!" After a quick battle with the legion of doom, they rescue Aquaman and WW. Aquaman thanks them, and they say "No prob,were really big fans of the old school".Wonder Woman then says "you three are developing into some heroes.",then they deliver this line,"Thanks! we hope we can be as devolped as you one day!" Everyone starts laughing and WW covers her boobs. Freaking classic.

Well..today was..intresting..sorta.I learned something.Always look at the label on the stuff you by.Case in point;I thought I was buying NesQuik chocolate milk.Turned out to be "Vanilla milk".Ewww.I still have the disgusting taste in my mouth.Not plesant.Just as bad as that was Adventures of Superman 603.I don't think I've ever read 4 pages of a DC book and threw it down and almost stepped on it.The story of a "superbaby"...wow...lame.The art was some of the worst i've ever seen.Luthor looked like the ate the kingpin.Everything else was pretty damn good though.Excpet for Batgirl picking on Spoiler,thats just wonr.Rest of the book was goood though.The "Bruce Wayne:murderer/fugitive" storyline is shaping up to be really damn good.Aparently,Vesper,who was found kakked in Wayne manor was knocked out before she was brought intot he manor.And Nightwing found some bug type things in the batcave,which means a few things..1]Someone knows Bruce's secret. 2]Someone knows what there doing if they broke into the cave 3 times.And 3]If someone broke into the cave,that means Bruce didn't do it...I hope.Impulse-Excellent as usual.It'sreally gonna be a shame if it gets cancelld.Green Arrow and Green Lantern were both good.And that's pretty much it.Oh,"that 80's show" ruled as per usual.

And there not even blurting out "Hash" on Hash Pipe! Score! I bet Britney Spears is backstage doin the hash.Speakin of Britney Speared,I was flipping channels the other day and saw one of her videos.Didn't watch the whole thing,but for a girl who says shes a virgin,she she does like getting humped by like 7 guys at once.If shes a virgin,then i'm gonna get laid sometime soon.Neither is true.
I just saw a preview for the movie "Changing Lanes" with Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Affleck.Looks good.But I was just reminded of something.Ben Affleck is gonna be in the Daredevil movie.Eh...ok.Jennifer Garner is gonna play Elktra.Eh..Better.But Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin is just wrong in so many way's.At least Sam Jackson as Mace Windu in Star Wars is a good choice.I hope he get's to say "Use the force,bitch!"

A&W is by far the best food on Staten Island.Just though i'd clarify that.Oh,and I broke with my usual way yesterday and picked up a Marvel book.Deadline.It's about some reporter girl who doesn't like superheroes or as she calls them,"capes".On my 1-10 scale,10 being really freakin good,I'd give this a 4 or 5.The art was hit and miss.The Cover artist,Greg Horn however was really good.If he did the rest of the art in the comic,i'd give the book at least a 7.

I woke up today,got dressed and went to Hanley's like I do every wednesday to get my comics.I checked the weather first,75 degrees and Sunny."Awesome",I say.So I decide to wear my Ghostbusters ringer.I got to the train station 4 blocks away,and just as i'm about to get on the train,I look up.Cloudy."Must just be passing over",I think to myself.So,i'm hanging out in Hanley's and I llok outside again.It's getting dark.I look at my watch and it says 5:00pm.Then it gets sick windy.Then it starts to rain.Then it stops and it's sunny,the it gets dark again,then sunny,then dark with a torrential downpour.Damn el nino.And I couldn't even get my comics casue the holiday delayed the shipment.It's good anyway,caus I don't want the comics to get wet.Anyway,I came home soaked.But it's all good in a few minutes cause "That 80's show" is on!!!! Kick ass!!
