Civil War update **SPOILERS***

I have been back in comics for a months now. Dave and I went to the comicon, met Brian Bendis, saw and bought tons of comics and heard about the beginings of civil war. We have even done an episode and a half of our podcast, THATS GOOD TO KNOW, shamelss plug, about it. Civil War has been good so far. I mean Captain America surfer a fighter jet from shield headquarters, disguised himself in order to free the Young Avengers from custody.....ohh and SPIDERMAN REVEALED HIS IDENTITY!!!! Now in the movies, these things happen on smaller scales. Spiderman on the subway car in Spiderman 2, and the end half with Peter and the Goblin and the dinner scene. But this was in front of tv cameras. Now I know it can be erased with some time warp, a new earth being formed...wait thats DC, or with Infinity Gems,,,,REALLY? I just hope that whereever they take this, its intresting. I will always be a fan of Spiderman just like I will be a fan of X-men, comics and movies. I just hope that the story continues to twist and turn and make me crazy waiting for the next months issue. This and New Avengers Disaassmbled are two of many comics I am looking forward to in the next few months.

Comics are one of the greatest things ever created. When can you get all the coverage on one thing like the Spidey identity thing did when it came out. Where can you get people in an uproar that a person is now a lipstick lesbian. And where can you have a story that becomes one of the funniest stories on The Colbert Report I have seen in a long time. If you want to see it go to this link fromifanboy.com and watch the clip. Its great.

Keep reading and keep listening.....THAT's GOOD TO KNOW!!!

Need for Speed Most wanted finally falls.....NEXT!!

I finally finished NFS: Most Wanted. It is a great game for anyone who likes racing games with a little bit of a story to go along with it. My only problem is what to play next. Do I want to stick with racing (Forza, Burnout), move on to an RPG (Morowind, Fable) or move on to a shooter (Graw, Battlefield 2, Far Cry Instincts, or good old Halo 2 again). I also have xbox live now so playing on there is an option. Its hard to choose after having so much fun with NFS. I think my future holds a little Halo online against people like Kittylicker, *yes that is someone's gamertag* and some mlb 2k6 online.

oh and by the way, one of the kids who played in the same game with me and Kittylicker thought he/she was an animal abuser. Things like that are what makes xbox live an interesting and wierd experience.

Your name in lights

Everyone wants to have their name in lights, or their name on the spine of a book, somewhere that will show that they did something big. Some people get their name in lights and its the happiest day of their life. A big Hollywood premiere, a major book release or a newspaper byline may be a person's turn to have their name up there for everyone to see. Some people seem to have their names up there all the time.

Sometimes people have their names in lights and its a moment of sadness and happiness all wrapped into one. That is the story of Issue #26 of Batman Superman, written by Sam Loeb. Most comic book fans out there know his story (if you don't click on his name and read his story from Newsarama's and his father viewpoint). He is the son of Jeph Loeb who finally got his name in print just like his dad. He worked on a story that brought Robin and Superboy back together for one last time. It gave fans of Superboy another chance to see him in action even after his death in Infinite Crisis. The story was written by a boy who fullfilled many comic book fan's dreams, to have their name on the cover of a comic book. Its something that no one can take away from him. He will always be known as Jeph Loeb's son, the author of issue #26 of Batman/Superman.

One of Sam's favorite characters, Superboy, died trying to save the world and his friend Robin. Sam died living a life that made people smile, and wrote a comic that did too.
