Once again, Hasbro has outdone themselves with their new line of Marvel ~ The Avengers series of toys. The IRON MAN Mark VII is a really nifty toy, he's very durable, easily handled and my kids just loved him. They have been using their imaginations a lot with these toys, with my son going off into his own super hero world where IRON MAN was saving the world from zombies...hehe...we adore zombies in this house, so we are always combating them in our imaginations~!!
I felt the combat sounds weren't as groovy as I was expecting, while my kids had no worries over them, I was thinking..."With today's technology, they are STILL using this model to create sound for toys?" I mean...with how small we can make micro chips and how much information we can put on these things, I want to hear sounds that are COOL. Okay, so yes, the movie Small Soldiers really ruined it for me as to the art of toys being created, cuz I truly don't know why they aren't doing more interactive activities or at least activities that are believable. However, this is a wonderful toy and the joy my children found playing with it is always worthy of great praise. I am always for imaginative stimulation than say video games, so if toys can keep my seven year old away from the box, then they are groovy by me~!!
The Armory Wars In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 #8
Written by Claudio Sanchez, Peter David Drawn by Chris Burnham SC, 24pgs, FC, SRP: $3.99 A Prise warrior demands that Claudio starts looking ahead of himself, to his destiny. But maybe he should look over his shoulder too…because Al the Killer is lurking right behind him! At the same time a greater evil will arise, one that will play a major role in Claudio’s future. Another not-to-be-missed issue from Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez and comics legend Peter David! Al the Killer is on the hunt for Claudio when he realizes his special powers. The dynamics of the plot make for an interesting story. The artwork is a wonderful addition to the story being shared. I was quite fascinated with the details found within each page of creation. I haven't had the opportunity to read this series but I was impressed with the amount of emotion found within. The cliffhanger was a delightful surprise that I wasn't expecting from a comic, my overall fondness for this book makes me wish I had read the series from its conception. The lives of the people in the comic are believable in their depictions and some of them have truly decent characters while others blend well with their evil schemes. Overall this makes for a great read and definitely one you'll want to begin from the start, I would give The Armory Wars a five out of five stars.

Get your hands on these damn dirty Apes!
Beginning an all new series that takes place before the original 1968 Planet of the Apes movie in the continuity of the first five films.
Ape society has reached a new golden age. But there are ripples of dissent in both the ape and human ranks. Tensions will rise and soon all will be caught in chaos! And amidst all this uncertainty, what is the fate of...The Lawgiver?
Written by award-winning novelist Daryl Gregory. Illustrated by Carlos Magno.
I love The Planet of the Ape series and couldn't wait to get my hands on this comic book. I was quite pleased to find that it was an enjoyable read with enough dedication to the storyline that a diehard fan will not find themselves too upset with the plot's enhancement to the overall story.
The details in the illustrations make for an impressive display of the author's thoughts, though I wasn't all that impressed with the overall depictions of the Apes themselves. I found them to be cartoonish and somewhat unbelievable in their depictions. However, the backgrounds and humans are wonderfully created and the overall quality is remarkable.
I loved that the comics are designed to take you back before the movies we have come to know and enjoy. Giving the reader another outlook on what occurred during the time that led up to them. I felt they did the original works justice in their capacity to draw you into the pages where your imagination is finally shared.
I thought the dialogue was well placed through out the pages. It was easy to follow and immerse yourself into the narrative and I would give The Planet of the Apes Vol. 1 a four out of five stars. I shared the comic with others who also shared the same expressions as I did about the dialogue and character depictions. Great effort and looking forward to ingesting more from Boom! Studios.
Elric: The Balance Lost Vol. 1 ~ Michael Moorcock by Chris Roberson and Illustrated by Francesco Biaginia. Afterword by Neil Gaiman.
Paperback: 128 pages
Publisher: BOOM! Studios; Original edition (February 7, 2012)
Language: English
Signs appear throughout the Multiverse that the Cosmic Balance is in peril, and the Eternal Champion is caught in the crosshairs! Across worlds, Elric, Hawkmoon and Corum begin to face the force that threatens to overpower them all, while Eric Beck, a modern-day video game designer, must acknowledge that his reoccurring dreams of a Pale Prince aren’t all in his head...
Join New York Times bestseller Chris Roberson (SUPERMAN, iZOMBIE, STAN LEE'S STARBORN) as he teams up with legendary fantasy author Michael Moorcock to bring Elric back to comic books in an original ongoing series!
See why Neil Gaiman called Moorcock “my model for what a writer was” while Warren Ellis said he is one of the “eight core sites in my creative genome.”
The cosmic balance is in disorder across the galaxy and three avatars or incarnations of the Eternal Champion are being tapped to fight whatever is causing the turmoil and struggle.
Eric Beck, a games designer, in our time, constantly dreams of events that occur in other dimensions. He is slowly coming to realize that his dreams and the three avatars may be connected.
The story is a build up for the world that is being created, which I am sure, will feed a long and successful comic book series.
My son was most impressed with this comic, as was I. The graphics are beautifully illustrated and the story is shared in a very engaging way. The hero's are worthy of reading and likeable and you cannot help but want to know of Elric's fate, but, it will take time for his story to unfold as you follow this new comic book series, featuring Elric and the fate of mankind.
I would give Elric: The Balance Lost a four out of five stars. I did find Eric was a little cartoony in his overall creation but was very impressed with the battle scenes and the depictions of Elric as the Pale Prince and Hawkmoon was exactly how I had pictured him.
The ebook is filled with humor, comics and art by John Garrett!
You may never have noticed this, but did you ever catch onto the fact that whenever good normal people are trying to live their lives, have a good time, or just plain get some work done…there’s always some STUPID CLOWN around to ruin things?
Dealing with difficult people is hard enough in life -somebody should write a book on these clowns, or something.
Waitaminnnit…
Good news! The answer is here!
STUPID CLOWN SECRETS…REVEALED!
Unfortunately, I’ve been witness to the antics of stupid clowns for
too many years. One day I realized that I’d seen all their tricks, and
they just couldn’t get to me anymore.
The very next instant I knew I had to reveal that knowledge to the
world!
Marvel and revel as the antics and methods of Stupid Clowns everywhere
are revealed -in written, comic and art format!
About the Author...
John Garrett is an artist, writer, web designer and all around capital fellow who prefers his food in sandwich form.
Comics, Sci-fi, Fantasy and tech stuff are what hold his interest and also get him in trouble on a daily basis!
Hi all, I'm John Garrett of Hypertransitory.com, author of "How to Deal with Stupid Clowns who Don't know what the Hell they're talking about!"
Say, did you guys ever notice that when you try to go through your daily life without hassles, accomplish something routine, or just do your job there's always some stupid clown around trying to make a simple task difficult?
One thing I can practically guarantee: Whenever you try to strive for something great, make a huge change in your life, or just try to better yourself -if you take a look over your shoulder you'll inevitably find some stupid clown running their mouth and offering their ignorant, ill-informed, annoying and flat-out wrong opinion on what you should do with your life.
I got so fed up with it I decided to write a book about it. It's called How to Deal with Stupid Clowns who Don't Know What the Hell They're Talking About!
This is the culmination of many years of hard experience. I've suffered through countless hours of exposure to stupid clowns and I finally decided that all that torment should actually amount to something at some point.
So to that end I've compiled this handy book of lessons in order to help others learn how to deal with these ruthlessly annoying people.
First free TIP: How to spot a stupid clown?
To many people, stupid clowns and regular clowns are usually lumped into the same group. These people could not have it more wrong.
Good old regular clowns have taken it upon themselves to entertain us and bring joy to our lives, sometimes at the risk of their own health (think rodeo clowns).
Stupid clowns, on the other hand, don't really think of anything except themselves, and the satisfaction/amusement they get from meddling and interfering with decent, hard-working people. It's like their job.
Here's the problem: Unlike in this book, most stupid clowns don't walk around with big red noses, gaudy suits with big floppy shoes and flowers that spray seltzer-water on you.
Many of them try to blend in so they can hide the evidence of their stupid clown-osity. They're working alongside of you, going to school with you, walking down the street or sitting on the train next to you.
Sometimes these stupid clowns can be in your own family.
They can't completely hide, though.
You can usually spot one by checking their mood and facial expression. When things are going good and people are happy, these guys will be in the background scowling and mean-mugging, wondering how they can screw it up.
You see, it's their mission to prevent happiness and smooth-sailing, so they feel like they failed. No one likes to fail, not even stupid clowns.
Unfortunately for them, we're going to deny them victory. Check out the trailer for the ebook. It has these clowns cowering in fear!
