Chili Pepper Chris’s Comic Cave: Reviews for October 29, 2008
DC Comics: Final Crisis - Rage of the Red Lanterns ( one-shot )
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+
Dark Horse Comics: Hellboy - In The Chapel of Moloch ( one-shot )
For the first time in years creator Mike Mignola does the art duties on a full sized Hellboy tale. It’s your basic Hellboy goodness which in many, many ways is better than anything on the stands today. Creepiness abounds in this tale of an artist in Portugal under supernatural influence with Hellboy out to save the day. Buy this one too! Come on…it’s Mike frickin’ Mignola!! Grade: A+
Marvel Comics: 1985 #6 ( of 6 )
This mini, to me, has been a lot of fun. It’s all about the Marvel Universe’s characters in the real world circa 1985. Havoc ensues. This issue has the big confrontation between the villains and the heroes. Since issue 3 I knew where writer Mark Milar and artist Tommy Edwards were going with this but it’s still been a cool read with the nostalgia of the 1985 Marvel Universe. Not a fantastic read but definitely a fun one. Grade: B
Cover of the Week: DC Universe - Decisions #4 ( of 4 )

Admit it, you would so watch a movie that contained all these characters.
This year we are going to get treated to several more movie adaptations of comic books. For those of you out there that haven't been paying attention, two of those movies that will be released this year will be Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk.
Ok so I know I haven't been around much lately, what with me working hard on haleyred.com, but thanks to the folks over at The Onion this little bit of info didn't go unnoticed.
Hello there again ATE readers, it's me nanye remember?
Even though the movie is still over a year from being in theaters the first image of Hugh Jackman ...
After several months of sub-par storylines in this book we finally get one that delivers on several levels.
The events in this comic continue to build in epic proportions now. Like I've said, the first 25 issues of this were decent but the pacing was slow.
HOLY SH*T!! The two main Avengers titles as of late have been pretty mediocre if not sucktastic but this issue was good.
