Chili Pepper Chris’s Comic Cave: Reviews for October 3, 2007
IDW Publishing: Beowulf #1 (of 4)
Comic book adaptations of movies usually suck but IDW Publishing gets it right with the first issue of Beowulf, based on the Old English poem and the upcoming cgi film from director Robert Zemeckis. This is a 4 part mini-series with a new issue coming out weekly through October.

I Wanna be a Pop Star
Now normally we don’t cover such things as a certain “former” pop princess losing custody of her kids, but after I saw this I had to put it up as I thought that it was very timely and appropriate.
Enjoy.

Wayback Wednesday: Hey Jealousy
Hey Jealousy is a song by the Gin Blossoms - an alternative rock band formed in 1987, in Tempe, Arizona. They took their name from a photo of W.C. Fields which bore the caption “W.C. Fields with gin blossoms,” referring to the actor’s gin-ravaged nose.

Games You Should Play: Halo 3
It’s been one week since the people at Bungie/Microsoft dropped a little gem known to the world as Halo 3 on the gaming public. In that time, token and myself have spent somewhere in the realm of 30+ hours in the universe of Master Chief and friends, and that doesn’t even include all of the extra/special features the game comes bundled with.

There is one reason you should buy this and it's Alex Ross. The man is an unbelievably talented artist and he does the interior art in this thing front to back, not just the cover which he's been doing mostly for a long while now. This book is beautiful!
Written by Jimmy Palmiotti with art by Phil Noto, issue 1 of this 5 issue mini starts off with a Female Fury named Maelstrom who wants to become the queen of the evil ruler Darkseid and plans to do it by killing Superman. When she shows up on Earth she first encounters Supergirl and the aftermath of the battle takes a tragic turn. Pick this up. It apparently takes place before all of the Final Crisis crap, is devoid of excess continuity and has great art. Grade: A
YES WE CAN!
....'nuff said. 
Totally scare the shit out of your neighbors and then take their candy! Bwahahahaha! 
Wow! Just freakin' awesome and if you are not onboard with all things Green Lantern related then you are missing out. Geoff Johns writes one heck of a tale here that formally introduces us to the Red Lantern Corps, rage powered individuals who are sure to give the Green Lantern Corps one hell of a time. Shane Davis pencils this issue and the guy is unbelievable. There's a splash page in this issue that rivals what Ivan Reis is doing in the main ongoing GL book. Buy this one! Grade: A+
So far I haven't cared much for this series. This is DC's big event book for 2008 and the big completion to their "Crisis Trilogy" started with Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1986 and continued with Infinite Crisis in 2006. This one has been a little hard to follow and frankly, a bit boring, but thankfully this issue kicks it up several notches.
Conflicted hitmen and a coked-up racist dwarf equals dark fun! 
May 8, 2009 we get to go for a ride on the U.S.S. Enterprise one more time. Well, beam me up, Scotty...
