I swear to god this is like the Superman Returns of Bond films.  I think caboose said it best yesterday when we left the theatre;

"chase, fight, kill, repeat, chase, fight, kill, repeat, chase, fight…."

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!

If you haven’t been reading Justice Society of America then you might be a little lost. Basically, a much older Superman from a parallel Earth (the one from the most excellent Kingdom Come miniseries from 1996) has shown up on the DC Earth we usually deal with and has to come to terms that most of the allies he saw die on his Earth are very much alive on this one. This one-shot gives us some great moments that are wonderfully accentuated by the outstanding Ross art. He also wrote the thing as well. This is part one of a JSA Kingdom Come Special trilogy that adds to the great story happening in the regular JSA book. But, even if you aren’t following the story, pick this up for the art alone! Grade: A+

Marvel Comics: Wolverine #69 ( Old Man Logan part 4 )

Oh yeah, this story is still a lot of fun! Writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven must be having a great time creating this story. To catch you up, the Marvel Universe has gone all to hell and it’s 50 years later. The supervillains won and divided America into quadrants ruled by particular baddies. Wolverine hasn’t given up his violent ways and just wants to take care of his family. Low on money to make the payment on his land he takes on a job with the now blind ex-Avenger Hawkeye to deliver some cargo to the east coast. They have run-ins with the Ghost Rider gang, the Kingpin and in this issue, the Moloids. Just a straight up cool read that’s superheroes mixed with The Road Warrior with a touch of the western flick Unforgiven. Definitely a fun read for those familiar with the Marvel Universe. The twists on what we know makes this worth reading. Grade: A

DC Comics: Green Lantern Corps #30

This title remains one of the best comics on the stands today. This issue is a lot quieter than previous issues but still gives you some good bang for your buck. This continues the saga of the expanding groups of ring bearers from the emotional/energy spectrum. The GLC go to the planet Zamaron, home of the Star Sapphire/Violet Lantern Corps, to spy under the disguise of diplomacy. They don’t like what they find being done in the name of “love”. And Kyle Rayner and other Corps members have a run-in with Kryb, a Sinestro Corps member who is murdering GLC members and their loved ones and abducting their infant children. Peter Tomasi has been writing his ass off on this book and Patrick Gleason is an artist with a fantastic visceral style that always makes this book find it’s way to the top of my read pile. Like I said, the issue is quieter than it’s been but still worthy of your moolah. Grade: B+

Cover of the Week: Marvel Comics – Magneto: Testament #3

This cover actually makes me feel sorry for the murderous bastard!

Until next time– Peace…

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

Marvel Comics: Avengers – The Initiative ( one-shot )

I’ve stated before that the ongoing Avengers: The Initiative is one of the best titles that Marvel publishes and this one-shot is up to par. But I don’t really get why they just didn’t have this as part of the ongoing title. Written by Christos Gage with art by Steve Uy, this is a tale that concentrates on the romance between Initiative member, Hardball, and Komodo. Action, romance, origins and betrayal ensue. A good read. Grade: B

DC Comics: Trinity #23

This weekly series has been good most weeks and really good on some. This week’s issue….bleh! The cover’s cool though. Grade: D

Cover of the Week: A Tribute to Michael Turner (Aspen Comics)

RIP Mike…you are missed.

Until next time — Peace…

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.

I’m not going to go into how overrated I think writer Grant Morrison is. He’s got some fantastic ideas at times but often his storytelling isn’t my cup of tea. This issue is the first thing I’ve liked from him since his days writing Justice League in the Nineties. As far as art goes on this book, J.G. Jones rocks! His visuals always deliver even if the story isn’t really there. Issue 4 here picks up a month after issue 3 when the Anti-Life Equation has been broadcast across the globe by the evil minions of the god-like Darkseid. His soldiers have enslaved much of the world’s population and the superheroes, Green Arrow, The Ray, Hawkgirl, Oracle, etc., are the last bit of resistance. It looks like evil has won. But the heroes have a hail mary pass that will hopefully turn the tide. Since the last 3 issues of this book really left a lot to be desired I have to give credit and say that this issue did entertain me and didn’t leave me scratching my head. Grade: B

IDW Publishing: G.I. Joe #0

IDW Publishing has taken over the comic side of this beloved 80’s franchise and here we are with a zero issue priced at 1 dollar that gives you a taste at where they are headed with the further adventures of G.I. Joe. You get three stories here previewing three Joe titles coming to your comic shop very soon and all three stories center on the popular character of Duke. I’m enthused to see what will be done with this and this issue is definitely worth picking up…the thing is only a buck! That’s great for these recession laden times!! Grade: B+

DC Comics: Superman – New Krypton Special one-shot

The last issue of Action Comics tied up the storyline that had Superman meeting the real Brainiac (not his robotic probes) for the first time and had a final page that was a punch in the gut….the apparent death of Pa Kent. I really thought that he was just injured and we’d see him recovering in the next few issues. Well, he’s gone. This one-shot begins with the funeral of Pa Kent and it is incredibly moving and beautifully rendered by master artist Gary Frank. You feel the pain of loss to Clark and Ma Kent as well as the rage felt towards Brainiac, who had launched a missile at the Kent farm in the final moments of the battle with Superman in Action Comics. Along with the family tragedy, Superman also has the issue of the Kryptonian city of Kandor. The city was a minituarized captive of Brainiac but during the battle was liberated by Superman and placed near the Fortress of Solitude before it expanded to normal size. Now, there are thousands of Kryptonians on Earth and Superman and some military types are wondering how to handle this new world-changing situation. Writers Geoff Johns, James Robinson and Sterling Gates and artists Gary Frank, Pete Woods and Renato Guedes give us a hell of a tale that lays the groundwork for where the Superman mythos is headed for issues to come. Very well done! RIP Johnathan “Pa” Kent. Grade: A+

Cover of the Week: DC Comics: The Family Dynamic #3 ( of 3 )

I know nothing about this comic but this cover caught my eye with it’s beautiful animated style!

Until next time– Peace…

Now this was a great read! Written by Matt Wagner with ethereally beautiful art by Amy Reeder Hadley, issue 4 is the continuation of the medieval adventures of the magical fortune teller Nimue as she tries to prevent the explorer, Marco Polo, from being framed for rape in the kingdom of Xanadu, under the rule of Kublai Khan.

You’ve got ninjas, magic, action, romance and even The Phantom Stranger (from The Books of Magic/DC Universe fame). The story being told here is fascinating but if you buy this for only one thing then it’s the art. Miss Hadley’s style is incredibly pleasing to the eye and I forsee her to be a very hot commodity in the future of comics. Grade: A+

Marvel Comics: The Ultimates 3 #5 ( of 5 )

Writer Jeph Loeb used to be one of my favorite comic scribes on the stands but lately the guy has been one of my least favorite. His run on Hulk sucks and this run on Ultimates has paled in comparison to the mostly fantastic run by Mark Millar. This issue ties up the 5 issue “Ultimates 3″ and is supposed to be a prequel of sort to the upcoming “Ultimatum” series for Marvel’s Ultimate line of books.  It’s got some really cool moments, mostly thanks to the still wonderful art by Joe Madureira, but overall the story just doesn’t thrill me. The tale has been all about who murdered the Scarlet Witch and why and….hell, if you want pretty art, pick this up. Just don’t expect that great of a story. I’m just not feeling it. Grade: D+

Dark Horse Comics: Hellboy – The Crooked Man #3 ( of 3 )

This was a f#cking great finale for this mini-series! Full of creepy Hellboy goodness with just enough Hellboy action. Written by Mike Mignola with very effective art by Richard Corben, this finds Hellboy and Appalachian magic man, Tom, trapped in an old decrepit church in Virginia, 1958 by The Crooked Man (a manifestation of the Devil) and his undead minions. The Crooked Man wants Tom’s soul due to a deal he made many years ago and that’s where the action and creepiness ensue. Mignola and Corben work wonders with this issue, especially with scenes involving preacher Jeremiah Witkins as The Crooked Man tries to convince the man of God to turn over Tom. This issue (and the whole mini) are worth every penny and you’ll be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t pick it up. Grade: A+

DC Comics: Trinity #17

This weekly 52 issue series reaches the end of it’s first third and has me very curious to see where it goes next. There are 2 stories here as there have been throughout the series. Kurt Busiek writes and Mark Bagley draws the main tale involving the big confrontation between what I guess is the evil Trinity (Morgan la Fey, Enigma and Despero) and the good Trinity (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman). The result of this confrontation appears to be world changing. You get some wonderful art but not much story, which is neither good nor bad considering the weekly nature of this book. The second tale is about the incarceration and origin of a villain named Konvikt (I know, stupid name but it is explained) who Supes and crew fought several issues back. Overall, not a bad issue but not anything that will blow your socks off either. But there have been worse weekly titles *cough* Countdown to Infinite Crisis *cough*.  Grade: B-

Cover of the Week: DC Comics – Superman #680

Gotta love some Krypto!

Until next time–Peace…

This post really got it’s start the other day when I was at my local comic book store and the owner, a patron and myself got started talking about the news that Warner Bros. wants to relaunch the Superman film franchise and word is that comic book writer extra-ordinaire, Mark Millar (The Authority, The Ultimates, Kick-Ass, etc.), has written a script that has been well received and that it will be something that fans will love. Let’s hope.

My love for Superman all started back when I was 6 years old in 1978 and Superman The Movie starring Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel graced the silver screen across the world and people cheered the big blue boyscout for the first time in many years. At the time I was all about Star Wars and the only comic books I read were Star Wars/sci-fi related and anything with Godzilla. I liked Superman from the ultra-cheesy Superfriends cartoon but I wasn’t a huge fan until my father took me to see the movie. I was enthralled. The story, the special effects, the whole package had me and my father said he or my mother probably took me to see it at least 5 times in the theater. Thanks to that film I’m the hardcore superhero-loving comic book geek you have today (well, the film and my wife helping to feed my comic book addiction). In adulthood it was always a treat to see the flick on cable and reminisce about childhood. The film seems very cheesy to me now but still gives me warm feelings inside and watching Christopher Reeve’s portrayal makes me wonder if anyone will ever be able to pull the role off with the style he had.

But, that is unfortunately, and in my opinion, the only thing good about those Superman films. It’s all Reeve. He embodied the character. Upon reading the comics through the eighties, nineties and now I saw how corny the stories were compared to the comics and how most of the other characters are portrayed wrong. Okay, I’ll give you that Margot Kidder had the attitude to play Lois Lane but she just didn’t have the sex appeal needed for the role. The guy who played Jimmy was just okay. The guy who played Perry White was just okay. And damn it, I love Gene Hackman but his version of Lex Luthor sucks monkey balls! There is a lot of moments from these films that are iconic and fantastic but a collection of moments do not a good movie make. The first (and most of the second film) were directed by Richard Donner and everything I’ve read has me thinking that he really set out to make something fantastic but Superman was a victim of egos and the studio. And all of the films suffer for it. So, in 1987 we see our last Superman film for 19 years.

In the nineties through 2000 the Superman franchise started to get a lot of buzz around it. Directors like Tim Burton, McG and Brett Ratner all have their names being associated with ideas that never really get off the ground. Most of what I’ve read has me thanking the comic book gods that none of this ever worked out as they would have seriously fucked up the whole mythos. Scripts were written by people from Kevin Smith to J.J. Abrams and actors such as Nicholas Cage (ugh!) to Brendan Fraser were linked with the project and still nothing was happening. Then along comes director Bryan Singer who says he wants to do a loose sequel to the first two Superman films and has a script written by two buddies that Warner Bros. jumps all over. Singer had a lot of clout then being the director of the critically hailed The Usual Supects and the X-Men films. So, basically the studio gives him all the money he wants to make the flick and in 2006 we get a big letdown. Superman Returns sucked! Just like the previous films there are great moments but the story is disappointing and a lot of the characters are miscast, including Superman himself. Actor Brandon Routh really tried but he just didn’t have the gravitas needed for the role of Superman. Kevin Spacey brought a slightly sinister edge to the Gene Hackman modeled Lex Luthor but it still was off from what the character is in the comics. And Lois Lane? Kate Bosworth looked like a 17 year old trying to pull off the role of a sexy, gutsy, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter. And then the whole super kid thing? Ugh! Storywise you basically have the same storyline from the first film with some added details that actually make the story even worse. I loved director Singer’s X-Men movies and really thought the dude would kick ass with Superman but instead we really get Mediocre-Angsty-Metrosexual Man. Singer….YOU’RE FIRED!!!

Now it has been told that Warner Bros. wants to start from scratch. As I mentioned at the beginning, Mark Millar has a script that people love. I love the writing of Millar. He brings a contemporary take to superheroes without losing the mythology that we all love. But, Millar has had a property of his already made into a film, the comic book Wanted, and that film is a much different animal than what the book is. And that’s fine. Wanted is a very new comic and doesn’t have an iconic status. Which brings me to Superman. An executive at Warner Bros. wants a darker Superman. Since the very dark Batman flick, The Dark Knight, has made so much money the studio thinks that darkness is the answer for their superhero franchises’ sucess. Hey! Mr. Executive! Pick up a fucking Superman comic. The dude is not dark. He gets pissed at times and sometimes finds himself in dark situations but the guy himself is not dark. He’s the boyscout. A physical beacon of hope. Dark works for Batman. Keep Supes the optimistic superpowered farmboy.

I don’t know what Millar’s script is like and knowing the fickle nature of Hollywood this script might actually not even be used but those executives-in-charge should at least look at some of the other Superman material out there instead of the Reeves films. The only thing they should take from those is Reeves look and performance. For everthing else? Read some comics or at least check out the excellent Max Fleischer cartoons from the forties or the animated series from the nineties. That is what your film needs to be modeled after. Remember the source material.

What does the fanboy community want to see in a Superman flick? First, Superman does definitely need to be the boyscout as I’ve already said. He always does the right thing and is concerned for the innocents around him. And remember that he was raised on a farm by two very loving people who are his moral center. In the new film, Ma and Pa Kent should both be alive so Supes has a place to go back to so he can decompress from the stress of being the superhero. His alter ego, Clark Kent, needs to be the nerdy, clumsy but capable reporter with the heart of gold. Lois needs to be the epitome of a successful single woman and able to hold her own. Jimmy Olsen is likable and the perfect sidekick for Clark. Now, for Lex Luthor. Make him the ultra successful businessman who has tremendous influence in Metropolis but most look at him with a bit of disdain. Make him the polar opposite of Clark Kent without making him cartoonish. And Metropolis. This should truly be the city of tomorrow and not some knock-off of New York City. If this is going to be the relaunch Warner Bros. says it is then there is one thing they should realize and that is that most people know who Superman is. They know the basic origin. So, don’t make this an origin movie. You can do the whole Krypton and Smallville thing in the credits or in flashbacks throughout the movie. Get to the meat. Put Clark in Metropolis from the beginning. He could be the brand spanking new reporter to the Daily Planet sent to cover some big event put on by Luthor and something goes wrong, along comes Superman to save the day. But another thing, don’t make Luthor the villain or at least the only villain. Give Supes something that is a physical challenge. Somebody or something to hit. Bizarro, Parasite, Darkseid, Metallo, Brainiac or hell, even a giant fucking robot…the list goes on and on. And you don’t need to make kryptonite a plot device for the movie. There are other ways to up the threat level for Supes and one of the best is threatening those he cares about. The guy has a big heart and if a big bad guy hurts someone he cares about then you’ve hurt him worse than using kryptonite. Make the film huge with impossible action (but please, no lifting of giant kryptonite islands as we had in Singer’s film) and great sci-fi elements while staying true to the iconic nature of the character. People expect a certain thing from Superman. Give them a story that’s action packed and inspiring and the money will follow. But most of all Hollywood, do yourself and the fans a favor and read a Superman comic. You make a film with the same feel of the comics and I’m telling you that the people will see it. There’s a reason this character has stood the test of time. There have been costume changes and even death but we still want the original superhero that Superman is. He’s a true icon.

Truth, Justice and The American Way…

Damn, I love this book and I love the hell out of the cover above!

Written by Greg Pak with art by Clayton Henry we find our hero, Hercules, and his pal Amadeus Cho taking a little down time on an island in the Pacific that also happens to be a hangout for Amazon warriors. These Amazons are packing heat and are in heat, looking for a male worthy to sire their next generation. There’s great action and humor throughout the issue and, as I’ve said in previous reviews of this title, I don’t mind at all that Hercules has taken over this old Hulk title. Pak’s writing is fresh and makes this book one of the firsts I read the week it comes out. Henry’s art is fun and action packed and the man can draw some sexy ass Amazons. The only thing I didn’t like about this issue was that it seemed kind of short. But still very cool. Thanks to this book, Hercules is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters around. He’s as cool as Wolverine but without all the brooding. Grade: B+

Red 5 Comics: Atomic Robo – Dogs of War part 2 ( of 5 )

Man, I so want to see a team-up book with Atomic Robo and Hellboy. They would fit together so nicely. Anyhoo, this second issue of the second volume from writer Brian Clevinger with art by Scott Wegener is a super fun read with the WWII adventures of Atomic Robo, on a mission to stop the Nazis and their “Laufpanzers” –walking tanks. The action is no holds barred as Robo goes after Laufpanzer after Laufpanzer with help from the G.I.s around him. It’s nothing deep but if you want an entertaining read then you can’t go wrong with Atomic Robo. Grade: A-

DC Comics: Action Comics #869

Thank you comic book gods for giving us writer Geoff Johns! The man is a force to be reckoned with and knows these DC characters in and out and tells fantastic stories that showcase the characters strengths and weaknesses in perfect form. This issue is part 4 of the Braniac storyline that has Superman confronting the real Braniac, not the probes that he has dealt with before. In the previous issues he learned the details of the fate of the Kryptonian city of Kandor, how Braniac captured the city and triggered the destruction of Krypton and has been doing the same thing all over the universe. So, Supes went looking for Brainiac and found the real deal but now the evil bastard has brought his ship to Metropolis so he can do the same thing to it and to Earth that he did to Krypton. This issue is great as you see Superman face Brainiac head on all the while Metropolis residents panic and Daily Planet workers deal with the Brainiac probes in some, what I like to call, “OH YEAH!” moments. Artist Gary Frank is stupendous in this issue and I hope he stays on forever. Awesome awesome awesome! Grade: A+

Until next time—Peace…

Marvel/Icon: Kick-Ass #4

Writer Mark Millar and artist John Romita, Jr. just keep the “kick-assery” coming with the fourth issue of this highly entertaining and gloriously violent book.

In this issue, the book’s star – teenaged Dave, discovers that his emergence as a superhero is inspiring people from all walks of life to do the same, simply in appearance and/or action. The most prominent of these being a duo called Hit-Girl and Big Daddy who are targeting those associated with the mob and I’m sure we will see some beautifully gory stuff from this duo in future issues as we do in this one. The first five pages of this ish are grotesquely fantastic and, as always, Millar knows how to write some of the most realistic dialogue in comics today. If you haven’t picked this up then get off your ass right now and buy it before it sells out like the other issues have. The book is accessible and the art itself is worth it. This one has already been greenlit by Hollywood so be one of the lucky people who know what it’s all about! Grade: A+

DC Comics: Superman #679

Hmm. I’m not feeling it. Writer James Robinson has done two books in the past that I loved – Doom Patrol and Starman. So I’m expecting him to really do some wonderful things with the Man of Steel and partnered up with phenomenal artist Renato Guedes, how can they miss? Well, this is just a so-so book. We’re on the third chapter of this story involving a mysterious military figure using the mythological Atlas to seemingly destroy Superman. The guy seems unstoppable and basically what we get this issue is Atlas beating the snot out of Supes. There is a nice flashback scene with Clark and Lois but this whole issue is just a beatdown. The final page is pretty cool but I have my doubts about it. I’m pretty disappointed with this but maybe Robinson and Guedes are going to pull something off that will blow us away. I hope. Grade: C-

Marvel Comics: Runaways ( Vol. 3) #1

Okay, I picked this up solely for Humberto Ramos’ art alone. I’ve always been a fan of his manga influenced style and then I saw that the writer of this was Terry Moore of “Strangers In Paradise” fame. The guy writes interpersonal relationships well and the Runaways, superpowered kids that are the offspring of supervillains, are perfect for his talent. This issue is actually a lot of fun and you really don’t need to be familiar with the previous volumes of this series to enjoy this. The story involves the group returning to L.A. after some time in New York (and timetraveling) to set up a new base in one of the old hideouts left behind by their supervillain parents. They just want to live and maybe do some good along the way. Unfortunately, one of the aliens of the group, Karolina, has some of her race hunting her in response to her possibly destroying their planet. This isn’t a great read but it’s got some fun stuff going on and artist Ramos is on fire here! Grade: B+

Until next time–Peace…

I actually considered bailing on this title since writer Joss Whedon and artist John Cassaday concluded their epic 24 issue run. I figured that the book was their baby, their vision and that someone else coming on this title would make it feel totally different. Well, it does…but that’s not a bad thing.

Writer Warren Ellis and artist Simone Bianchi start fresh and new with the team now based in San Francisco and has included Storm to the roster. This issue is a set-up issue but the characterization is so well done it doesn’t seem tedious like a lot of set-up issues tend to do. The most fantastic thing here is artist Simone Bianchi. He makes the X-men look incredible and crams so much detail and atmosphere into every panel that it will make your eyes bleed, but in a good way. This guy could draw a beaten and bloody Wolverine taking a shit and you would call it beautiful. I’m going to be picking this up mostly for the art alone and hopefully Ellis’s story will follow suit. Grade: A-

DC Comics: Trinity #5

This title is starting to get it’s groove finally. Writer Kurt Busiek and artist Mark Bagley (one of the best and most productive artists in the field) deliver some bonecrunching goodness as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman (The Trinity) along with some help from the Justice League as they take down the alien monstrosity, Konvikt. Busiek seems that he’s setting up an interesting tale as the mystical Morgaine la Fey and Enigma watch how the trio deals with this menace, how they each bring something to the table. There is something nefarious going on here and my guess is that it definitely doesn’t bode well for Supes since it’s seemingly magical in nature. The latter third of this book is a pretty mundane back up feature starring this dude named Gangbuster (*yawn*). For a weekly title though, it’s pretty good. Grade: B-

Until next time–Peace…

Written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Butch Guice, this is the first issue of the mini-series that promises to show us that everything in Marvel’s Ultimate Universe is connected. This is a decent issue.

We get some flashbacks to World War II that show us the birth of the super soldier serum that creates Captain America as well as the start of the Weapon X program that creates Wolverine. The art makes this work. Butch Guice has a realistic style that would be really nice to see on a regular series. Hopefully this will lead into that. For a mini-series, this is a nice start and thankfully it wasn’t over-hyped. Grade: B+

DC Comics: Trinity #1

Okay, the art in this is great. Mark Bagley brings an old school style with a modern twist with his art, as he has always done with Marvel, to the “Big 3″ of DC. But I’m not feelin’ the story here. Those of you who have read my posts here before know that I’m a big big BIG DC fan and really have a soft spot in my heart for all three of these characters, especially Superman, but this first issue falls flat. Supes, WW and Bats are all having variations of the same dream and meet to discuss what that’s all about. That’s it. Writer Kurt Busiek is one of the best in the field but I’m not liking this issue at all. Please make the next better. This is a weekly title but to shell out standard cover price you still expect quality, especially with all that’s involved here character-wise and creator-wise. Grade: C-

Marvel Comics/Icon: Kick-Ass #3

I’m loving this f#cking book! True to life dialogue, great art, violent, funny and more. Writer Mark Millar and artist John Romita continue the saga of wanna-be-superhero Dave with a great issue that finds the main character a YouTube sensation after he stopped a mugging in issue 2. If you haven’t checked this out then pick up this issue and have your comic shop owner get the back issue reprints for you but be warned — it’s violent, has foul language and nudity….and is awesome. The last couple pages of this rocked! Grade: A+

Until next time–Peace…
