Comic Review: THRONE OF ATLANTIS
Geoff Johns’ New 52 run on Aquaman created a lot of iconic moments and stories for the character. Perhaps the biggest is “Throne of Atlantis,” pits Arthur Curry and the Justice League against his half-brother Orm, the new king of Atlantis. Orm believes that the surface world is a threat, and he launches a huge assault. The comic was adapted into the 2015 animated movie Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, and elements are featured in the Aquaman film. Simply put, “Throne of Atlantis” is one of the best storylines in the New 52 era. It features strong writing from Johns and amazing artwork from Ivan Reis. The character interactions are…

Review: AQUAMAN Vol 1: The Trench (The New 52)
The New 52 was a bit of a mixed bag for DC Comics. This was a time where DC’s history and the universe got too bloated. This happens every decade or so in the comics industry. You keep telling stories of Batman in his prime over the course of 20 years things start to get lost and it’s hard for new readers to jump in. When this happens, DC would typically do a soft reboot. Some event or crisis that would help streamline things. Enter The New 52, a complete reboot of the DC universe. Again, the New 52 was a mixed bag. Some characters suffered from the change (Superman)…

Box Office Updates: Aquaman and Deadpool Go Into the Spider-Verse
Two superhero movies took on the domestic box office this week, while another continues its reign overseas and in preview screenings. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse opened with $35.4 million this weekend – a solid start for the universally acclaimed animated movie. The film took in another $21 million overseas, bringing its worldwide debut to $56.4 million. Into the Spider-Verse was produced with a $90 million budget (not counting marketing), so it should easily turn a profit, especially with strong word-of-mouth and holiday legs. Once Upon a Deadpool opened last week, and it has taken in nearly $4 million over five days. The film is a PG-13 recut for Deadpool 2,…

Review: AQUAMAN (2018)
“The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.” Warner Brothers You might remember when the reporters called the Aquaman footage they saw earlier as Indiana Jones meet Star Wars? Well, I can safely say now after watching it that I think their parable is pretty much a bullseye. It’s a thrilling ride in more than just one way. It’s action-packed, making you sit on the edge of your seat, while also…

Review: TIGER & BUNNY
In the world of Tiger and Bunny, you are only allowed to be a superhero if you get the most views, fandom points, as well as a sponsorship that sponsor you. In this story, we follow the hero Wild Tiger, an aging superhero that is close to losing his sponsor and therefore his job. One day, his heroic life changes when his employers forced him to get a crimefighting partner. This anime is what would happen if X-Men and The Boys had a lovechild (although not as graphic or violent). It tackles the question of what’s right and what’s wrong, self-identity and all that jazz, and every answer they have…

Batman Under The Red Hood
Chaos arises for Batman when a mysterious Red Hood is busting into Gotham. Someone that ends up being a harder opponent then he expected. If there is one storyline that I keep hearing Batman fans wants a cinematic movie adaptation, it’s Under The Red Hood. After rewatching it for I don’t know how long, I understand the hope for it. It’s a personal story, and stories like those (at least in my opinion) is when Batman shines the most. Just look at Mask of Phantasm which is another fan favorite. A personal story to its core which is what makes people so attached to it. While Under the Red Hood…

Review: AQUAMAN Rebirth Vol. 1: The Drowning
Back in 2016, DC Comics relaunched several ongoing series as part of its Rebirth initiative. Among these was a new Aquaman run by Dan Abnett, Brad Walker, Phillipe Briones, and Scot Eaton. The comic comes on the heels of Geoff Johns’ acclaimed New 52 run, which has popularized the character and made him a force to be reckoned with. (Still think Aquaman is a joke? Read any comic by Geoff Johns ever.) Vol. 1 of the Rebirth run, titled “The Drowning,” sees Arthur Curry and Mera working to repair the public image of Atlantis. Many on the surface world fear Atlantis and its people, so Arthur seeks to present his…
