So I got my good Superman movie

So, saw Man of Steel some time ago and I liked. I liked it quite a lot actually.

I just want a good Superman movie

Let's make this simple.

I like Superman and I am really looking forward to the upcoming Man of Steel-movie premiering this june. So I figure I could rant a bit about the live-action incarnations of Superman that are the most relevant to me. Because I'm a nerd and I like to rant about these things.

No clever title, I just wanted to tell everybody that Hannibal the tv-series is just really bad

No pictures either. I just really want to rant a bit and explain why I am utterly baffled why a lot of people are praising the new television series Hannibal, which acts as a prequel to Thomas Harris' book series turned into three pretty great movies where the titular Hannibal Lecter plays a big role.

Because if you ask me it's really really bad.

A most epic and entertaining journey deserving of a tribute

When you've been reading superhero comics for as long as I have it's almost inevitable that you'll get a bit jaded about the whole thing.

You think, a bit conceitedly, that - "There are only so many stories you can tell about men and women fighting crime with superpowers while wearing tights.". And while it's true that a lot of the stories throughout the decade share many of the same beats that doesn't mean that all superhero comics are just repeating themselves or that they're doing a bad job. But sometimes you just want something a bit more fresh, in lack of a better term. Just something that stands out a bit from the usual stuff and gives some variety oto your monthly reading.

For me personally that comic is the ongoing comic called Journey into Mystery (JiM) written by Kieron Gillen and publish by Marvel comics. So now, let's go for the obligatory pic before going into the background for the series.

A severe case of event fatigue

The first month of the new year is coming to a close. That naturally means that it's time to over-think stuff that's going to come out in the summer. For your average comic book buying Marvel zombie (I will never why any fan would call themselves that) that means it's time to buy this year's company crossover event comic and all the tie ins they can afford. That would be the case for me at least if the event fatigue had gotten a solid grip on me.

...I should probably explain a few things here.

That special feeling

I'm not much of a christmas person. Or rather, I'm not much of christmas person in the way conventional sense, as portrayed in western media that is.

Mumbly voices and imploding football fields!

It's been a slow and poorly updated year here. I blame myself for being lazy and pre-occupied. But I should be able to talk more about stuff that concerns my nerdy interest. So I'm gonna try to be better at that starting with the new official trailer for The Dark Knight Rises.
