Yeah! The trailer is finally out… and let me just say, it looks dark.

Sickness… and the Comic books I’ve Read This Week — Week 3
Okay… so you know how I said last week that I would have a ton of comic books read/reviewed for this week?
Yeah, well, not really.
There’s been this terrible flu-type-thing going around… well, most of the U.S.
I currently have it. Okay, big surprise. Everyone’s probably gonna get it. Stupid ‘defective’ flu shots (which I didn’t get anyway, but whatever. other people did).
Anyway, I’ve been stuck in bed. And instead of reading the two-foot pile of comic books I have piled up on my desk, I decided to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Which I then proceeded to play for four days straight. I mean four days straight. I only stopped to eat and sleep. …And to watch Flash (which was a rerun) and POI (which was scary. o_o)… The library is never getting these comic books back. *evil smile*
Well, to be fair, I just got the game on Sunday.
So yeah. The only comic book I read was Death of the Family. Again. It never grows old…
Anyway, I still have the flu-thing, but I decided to take time out of my binge-playing AC:NL to post on the only thing that I have that’s actually scheduled.
This is terrible.
Comic Books I’ve Read This Week — Week 2
So!
Week 2! I read some of the Civil War comics, and have decided that I’m only going to read the main Civil War book. There are just too many, and I don’t think I’d be able to take it. Also, there aren’t that many this week. I keep starting books and never finishing them. *cough* bad habit *cough*
— Rating: 2/5
— I don’t really like the Civil War arc. It seems rather… disconnected. I really just want to get through it so I can have something to compare Captain America: Civil War to.
2. Batman & Robin: Vol. 2: Batman vs. Robin. [Classic]
— Rating: 4/5
— I haven’t read the first volume, so I missed a bit of the story, but altogether it was pretty good. The Joker’s back!
3. The Joker: Death of the Family. [The New 52!]
— Rating: 5/5
— Awesome. This basically all the issues in the series that pertain to the ‘Death of the Family’ arc. It’s probably my favorite arc ever. Period. I’ll probably end up buying this for myself.
And yeah. That was it. I have about five that I’m in the middle of, though, so next week will be bigger.
…And sorry that this didn’t get posted yesterday like it was supposed to. I didn’t have enough time…
Comic Books I’ve Read This Week — Week 1
So.
I figured that instead of making a post for each individual comic book, I’d just give names, ratings, links (to Amazon), and possibly a few comments. It’s just a way to incorporate comic books into the blog without them being overpowering. I don’t know.
1. Cable & Deadpool: Vol. 1: If Looks Could Kill. [Classic]
— Rating: 3/5
— It was rather dry. I love both the title characters, but I liked Cable better in Cable & X-Force (Marvel NOW!).
2. Cable & Deadpool: Vol. 2: The Burnt Offering. [Classic]
— Rating: 4/5
— I like the plain Deadpool comics better, but this is still pretty cool.
3. Deadpool vs. The Marvel Universe. [Classic]
— Rating: 5/5
— I read this before I found out it was actually the last volume of Cable & Deadpool… The book was very wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey.
4. Batman: Volume 3: Death of the Family. [The New 52!]
— Rating: 5/5
— The ‘Death of the Family’ arc is probably one of, if not, my favorites. It’s also got the Joker almost cutting peoples faces off…
5. Batgirl: Volume 3: Death of the Family. [The New 52!]
— Rating: 5/5
— The Joker wants to get married? This is probably my favorite book in the Death of the Family arc.
6. Nightwing: Volume 3: Death of the Family. [The New 52!]
— Rating: 4/5
— Sensing a pattern? Anyway, this one wasn’t as great as the rest, but it was okay. I don’t think I really like the Nightwing comics.
7. The Road to Civil War: A Marvel Comics Event. [Classic… I guess. It’s unlikely they’ll reboot and entire event]
— Rating: 3/5
— Honestly, I’m only reading this (the Civil War arc) so that I can have something to contrast against the upcoming Captain America: Civil War. It’s okay so far, but I like to keep my politics and comic books separate. Currently, my favorite character in the arc is Namor the Sub-mariner, if that tells you anything.
8. Deadpool Classic: Volume 2. [Classic]
— Rating: 5/5
— Honestly, Deadpool is probably my favorite comic book character at the moment (but I haven’t read any Gambit comics yet, so I’ll have to see). My library didn’t have Vol. 1, but at the beginning there was a synopsis of the first volume, so it’s all good. Weasel’s pretty cool, but I don’t know.
I read a lot of Deadpool comics this week, and that pattern will continue until I finish Classic Deadpool and Cable & Deadpool. Also, there are a ton of Civil War comics, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to stomach them.
Do you guys have any comic book suggestions?
Bye, y’all! (oh no. an exclamation mark. I must be unusually happy today o_o)
Suicide Squad Movie… and Author Note
So.
The Suicide Squad! I don’t actually know a lot about the Squad, other than what I’ve read on Wikipedia or seen in that one episode in Arrow. I’ve never read any of the comics. I need to so bad. However, I’m trying to get through the Marvel Civil War line so I can be prepared for Captain America: Civil War, and I’m also reading Classic Deadpool and Cable & Deadpool. Also, I really want to read some more of the New 52 Bat-family comics (the ‘Death of the Family’ arc is so good!), so Suicide Squad comics will have to be put on hold. 😦 But I am definitely going to try to read some, even if I only read some classic (or whatever they call the comics that aren’t the new 52).
I actually think the concept of the Squad is rather interesting. Villains outfitted like suicide bombers doing secret missions for the government in order to shorten their prison time. I guess it’s sorta like community service…. not quite. Some of the missions aren’t quite… legal.
But yeah. I absolutely cannot wait for the movie. I have high hopes for it, even if I don’t have a very high opinion of the DC movies. Okay, I can’t talk. I’ve only seen Man of Steel. I need to watch the Batman movies. I am soooooo behind. Ugh.
They picked the cast for the actual members of the squad, but I’m too lazy to actually type it, so here’s a LINK.
The release is scheduled for August 5, 2016.
Note: Lol. I haven’t posted much lately. I couldn’t (and still can’t) think of what to write. However, I’ve never really paid much attention to the Daily Prompts here on WordPress, so maybe I’ll start doing that. Cool.
Bye, y’all.
The Tenth Doctor — Christmas?
So.
Because my cousin knows me so well. *happy sigh* Anyway, my cousin crochets different things, and she made this for me for Christmas. If you couldn’t tell, it’s the Tenth Doctor.
…And it’s on a Deadpool comic for contrast.
Anyway, she has a blog. She posts when she makes crochet things. If you wanna check it out: annablog.azurewebsites.net
She also crochet-ed Loki for me, so I’ll probably post a picture of that later.
Bye.
Geeky Sculpey Stuff
So.
I made more Sculpey things last night. I was bored. Like, really bored. After that. I watched the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie for the first time. It was awesome. But, anyway.
More lightsaber pens! The original post for these is HERE. I honestly like these better than the ones I made originally. I actually looked at a lightsaber this time around. However, these are Christmas presents for people, so I am not going to use them. 😦
Next up: Yes, I made Loki out of Sculpey. I am burdened with glorious purpose and all that. I used and x-acto knife, and he looks a lot cooler in real life. I took all the pictures with my phone which has a terrible camera.
Flash and Deadpool earrings. This is not just one set. I made a Flash set and a Deadpool set, but I am wearing the Deadpool ones and didn’t feel like taking them both off.
Loki’s scepter and a leaf. I was going to turn the leaf into a pin and stick it on my bag (ya know. Like those cloak pins from the Lord of the Rings), and I still might, but it didn’t turn out how I wanted it to, so yeah.
So yeah. I’m pretty sure that was it.
Bye.
Updated Marvel Movie News
I’m going to try to post all the upcoming movies. Okay. Let’s go.
Note: this will have some writing from my previous post on Marvel movies, but there has just been so much since then!
The Avengers: Age of Ultron — May 1, 2015
So. Age of Ultron. Have you guys seen the trailer? If you haven’t you need to! It looks so creepy… Though, Ultron looks amazing!
Ant Man — July 17, 2015
In my humble opinion, I think they should’ve made this movie before Avengers 2 because of Vision and Ultron, but whatever. It seems, this movie is going to be about the second Ant Man, Scott Lang, rather than the first, Hank Pym. I haven’t done much with Ant Man, though, so I won’t be able to tell if the movie is comics canon or not.
Fantastic Four — August 7, 2015
This is going to be a reboot. I ‘m kinda happy about that. I mean, it was obvious, but still, it’d be creepy after Captain America.
Deadpool — February 12, 2016
Deadpool!! I have been waiting for this FOREVER!
Captain America: Civil War — May 6, 2016
Okay. So, they’re starting the Civil War timeline. I am super excited about this, even though it’s kinda sad. I’ve only read about it on the wiki. Supposedly it will be more about the government overseeing the superheroes rather than the superheroes forcibly revealing their secret identities.
X-Men: Apocalypse — May 27, 2016
Apocalypse! Massive movie. I can’t wait!
Doctor Strange — November 4, 2016
Supposedly, Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Doctor Strange!
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 — May 5, 2017
Thor 3: Ragnarok — July 28, 2017
Ragnarok. 0_0 According to Norse Mythology, the Apocalypse! Scary.
The Runaways — 2017?
No one really knows what is going to happen with this. It’s likely, however, that the script may get turned into a TV show.
Wolverine 3 — March 3, 2017
Fantastic Four 2 — July 14, 2017
Black Panther — November 3, 2017
This’ll be fun.
Avengers: Infinity War: Part I — May 4, 2018
Oh, yes! I have been waiting for this for so long! I read the Infinity Gauntlet last summer, but I haven’t read the Infinity War yet. Is this going to be the Infinity Gauntlet in part?
Captain Marvel — July 6, 2018
Captain Marvel is going to be Carol Danvers, but that’s about all that’s known as of now!
The Inhumans — November 2, 2018
I don’t know much about this, so I’ll be reading a lot of comic books soon!
Avengers: Infinity War: Part 2 — May 3, 2019
The second part.
There are some Marvel TV shows coming out also.
– Luke Cage
– Agent Carter
– Jessica Jones
– Daredevil
– Iron Fist
While I was writing this, some stupid difficulties occurred. I’m pretty sure it’s my fault, but I don’t know. Anyway, if anything is wrong or doesn’t make sense, that would be why. I tried to go over it, but you know.
Bye.
‘Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe’ Comic Summary/Review
So.
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. Ouch.
Spoilers, Sweetie!
Note: If you’re super scared about our ‘hero’, this does take place in an alternate universe! *phew*
This comic is basically what the title says it is.
Deadpool gets taken into a mental institution where Psycho-man is trying to mind control everyone to take over the world. Psycho-man does something to Deadpool’s mind. However, Deadpool fights it, and another voice surfaces in his head, knocking out all the other voices. The voice tells him to kill all the other super-people (whether they are human or not), for they do not see the world as Deadpool does. The merc then goes on a killing spree; killing all the super-people (is there a better name for this?), even the cosmic entities. However, while this has been happening, Taskmaster was hired to kill Deadpool before he could kill anyone else. Deadpool kills Taskmaster, then opens a portal to the other universes. He goes into the one that leads into our world. It leads into a Marvel conference room where people are writing the Deadpool comic. Deadpool (Dreadpool) turns to the reader, and utters the words, “I’ll find you soon enough.”
Wow.
Okay, that was one of the first comics I’ve read that would be put in the ‘horror’ genre. (Does Batman: Vol. 3: Death of the Family count?) This is the first volume in what is called the Deadpool Killogy, which I am certainly going to read.
This one was definitely awesome, but was pretty gory. Note the parental advisory on the cover. LOL.
Bye.
Deadpool Vol. 2: Soul Hunter Summary/Review
So.
If you haven’t read my review on the first volume, you should probably go HERE.
Spoilers, Sweetie!
Soul Hunter. We left Deadpool with Agent Preston’s consciousness in his head. However, the first issue in this volume is an inventory story from way back in the 70’s or 80’s. Deadpool gets approached by a demon called Vetis trying to collect souls. Vetis wants the Merc to get Iron Man to re-start his drinking problem. However, when Deadpool sees Tony Stark, he gets around the deal by putting on the Iron Man suit himself and taking a drink of alcohol. The next issue, however, is back into the present. Deadpool goes to see Agent Preston’s son, but gets shot. Then, Vetis comes back and says that if Deadpool doesn’t kill four certain people, Vetis will kill the necromancer (called Michael) in the last issue. Deadpool starts killing the people while looking for a way to save Michael.
Then, some weird people come, drug Deadpool, and take his organs…
Deadpool kills the necromancer in order for him to get an audience with Mephisto. The Merc has killed three of the required four when he goes to Agent Preston’s house again and convinces her family that she’s stuck in Deadpool’s head. Deadpool then kills the required fourth person. Vetis comes and tells Deadpool he’s going to kill the necromancer anyway, however, as Michael is already dead, Vetis wants to kill Deadpool instead. Deadpool holds him off long enough for Michael (the necromancer) and Mephisto to come and restrain Vetis.
Overall, Soul Hunter was pretty good. The best part, for me, was the inventory issue. However, I liked volume one better. To me, this volume seemed to not flow very well. I don’t know.
It was cool.
Bye.
