joe mad ultimates 3

when i was a kid i wanted to be just like this artist after reading his deadpool and x-men stuff i thought it was an amazing blend of styles. i am so glad he is comin back to marvel to pencil the ultimates get in.

skots tattoo

a year or so ago my mate scott asked me to design his tattoo. so we have bounced ideas around in the pub for the past year, sketched stuff and finally it has been resolved. heres some pics of its development.

the ultimates2

finally issue 13 and the second installment is over, breathtaking. it would have been more so if it came out on time 2 or so months ago!!!!
still the art was great the story concluded nicely i cant wait till season 3.

We3

I was brousing borders and i came across a vertigo graphic novel by Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly, i was instantly pulled in and found that this is a wonderfully original comic book. covering the subject of animal rights in a compleatly out there and shockingly realistic way. the lead characters 1, 2 and 3 are stolen pets (a dog, a cat and a rabbit) pulled into an unethical military research program to create animal-weapons, they are fitted with powerful exo-skeletons and have their bodies and minds enhanced cybernetically although not too bright and still very true to their individual species and identities. and of course things go wrong. i found it to be a fascinating and moving story with wonderful visuals by mr Quietly, who employs an experimental paneling system alongside his wonderful style. very nice. think watership down mixed with frank millers hard boiled.

pokemon pearl/diamond

i have recently recived this game as an import for a suprisingly cheep amount. its very fun to play on the DS system. with lovely graphics and a more diverse range of crazy creatures than ever before including a burning monkey OH YEAH!!

Spiderman 3

Sam Rami delivers another installment in the spiderman saga. as a hardcore spidey-fan I enjoyed every minute of this film. i went into the cinema feeling sceptical after reading a review and hearing a few grumbles about too many villans blah blah... i found the story to be sound and the visuals wonderful. it keeps the audience very aware that they are watching a film this being the most ridiculous of the three films yet, featuring overblown cameos by Stan Lee and Bruce Campbell, the later playing a mental french waiter. i feel that this film is fantastic to watch, but not to be taken too seriously its a movie folks cheesy and well made with good badies, hilarious emo scenes and silly dancing.
as far as the complaints of others go about there being too many villans in the film i disagree entirely in the comics spideys batting them away left and right its about time they brought that to the films, if it was just venom then nothing would have happened till the symbiote was removed the others wre needed to fill the gap, in the comics he had it for a fair time (bless Tod Mcfarlane) wherin he ruined Brocks life giving him the hatred needed to become its future host. i wonder how people will feel if he fights the sinister six next now that would be alot of baddies. Nuff said.
