DC Comics Flashpoint series rolls on...

Just picked up issue number 3, with a big cliffhanger @ the end of #2 - I am anxious to see where this leads in the 3rd book. Barry Allen tried to re-create the incident that gave him superspeed as The Flash. Lightning, chemicals and a prayer was the formula....the result was depicted in a splash page where Barry was a smoldering corpse! As Batman looked on (Thomas Wayne!!!) we were left wondering if he had survived...I plan to catch up tonight, look for a new post tomorrow, details to follow. Looks like DC has big plans for our heroes' future!

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 05/07/2011

Check out the link to see the free goodies offered today: (@ your local comic book store/retailer)

FREE COMICS!

Update**** The gems I managed to pick up on FCBD were - DC's Green Lantern Special - Shows the "secret" origin of Hal Jordan - which is what the upcoming movie is based upon...also a Flashpoint preview as an extra.

Super Dinosaur by Robert Kirkman, Image Comics. Just a fun read...!

The Young Justice/Batman Brave and the Bold freebie was a good look into the kids side of the DCU, and even made me interested in the YJ animated series as well.

The Darkness II - Top Cow Productions/Image This book is a tie-in to the upcoming video game and the artwork sets a great tone throughout. I thought this was the best release of FCBD!!!

Mass Effect 3 Delayed Until 2012 - News - www.GameInformer.com

Mass Effect 3 Delayed Until 2012 - News - www.GameInformer.com

Today, on the BioWare forums, the company's community coordinator Chris Priestly started a thread called "2 new screenshots and new release date information." His initial post revealed the earth-shattering news that two new screenshots have been added to the Mass Effect 2 screenshot gallery...oh...and the fact that Mass Effect 3 has been delayed until 2012.

An official quote was also presented:

Today we have confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012. The development team is laser focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone’s expectations.” said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer Mass Effect series.

While this is heartbreaking news for the millions of gamers that have been waiting for ME 3, the fact that BioWare is making the move to ensure that the game is of appropriate quality is promising.

The company said it will have more specific details about the new release date as the time approaches.

For more exclusive information, exclusive intereviews, podcasts, and video on Mass Effect, head on over to our hub page.

Total Recall Sequel hits stores soon!

Press Release:

Shipping this May, Dynamite Comics, inspired by the hit 1990 science fiction movie TOTAL RECALL starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, presents the story of what happens next in its new comic series: TOTAL RECALL.

The series begins with the death of the Mars mining colony chief, Cohaagen, and the creation of an atmosphere for the planet. Douglas Quaid, the undercover agent known as Hauser, and the man responsible for releasing the colony from the grips of Cohaagen, simply wants to live happily ever after with Melina the woman of his dreams. But with Mars in chaos, new enemies invading the red planet, and a mysterious stranger in their midst, will Quaid have his happily ever after? Check out issue TOTAL RECALL #1 to find out!


“Being given the opportunity to create a sequel to one of the coolest action films of the 1990s was too great pass up,” says first time comics writer Vincent S. Moore. “Resonating with one of the themes of the original movie, this is a dream come true and a great benefit for me. In order to fulfill my dream, I simply had to turn around and make the happy ending for Douglas Quaid on Mars into a new nightmare and show him to be the hero once again. It was easy and tons of fun. I threw everything I could think at Quaid, keeping with the flavor of the movie. I hope all of the readers enjoy the ride. My thanks to the folks at Dynamite for giving me this chance. And to all those fans of the original film, I hope you like what we came up with enough to give it a shot. Just remember: get your asses to Mars!”

Total Recall is an original Sci-Fi Carolco Pictures thriller, released in 1990. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone and is based on the Philip K. Dick short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.” Directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Ronald Shusett, Dan O’Bannon, Jon Povill, and Gary Goldman, TOTAL RECALL won a Special Achievement Academy Award for its visual effects. The Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack earned the BMI Film Music Award. The rights to publish a TOTAL RECALL comic book series were obtained from StudioCanal S.A. under a licensing agreement negotiated by The Licensing Group Ltd.

The story line is centered on an unsophisticated construction worker, Douglas Quaid (Schwarzenegger), and the aftermath of his visit to REKALL, a company offering vacations for the mind. The Rekall vacation triggers a mind plant in Quaid’s brain, leading him to discover that he is a freedom fighter from Mars who has been relocated to Earth. Quaid attempts to restore order, and reverse the corrupt influence of commercial powers, despite multiple challenges, not the least of which are his wife’s multiple attempts to kill him, attacks from thugs who want him dead; and his own confusion as to who he really is. Quaid conquers the corrupt hold of the Mars based mining company restoring order to the Mars community.

Interview with Greg Rucka - New Punisher Ongoing Series



Marvel has officially pulled back the curtain on who will be writing the new Punisher series under the "Big Shots" banner. That man is none other than Greg Rucka. Following the announcement at C2E2, we caught up with Greg to chat about his plans for the character of Frank Castle. We cover everything from how the project got started, to Rucka's return to mainstream comics, to the tricky task of making Frank Castle fit in the main Marvel U., to handling violence in a mainstream Punisher book, and much more.

IGN Comics: Thanks for taking the time to talk to us, Greg. Now that the cat's out of the bag and you have officially been named the writer of the new Punisher series under Marvel's "Big Shots" initiative, I guess the best place to start is the genesis of this project; how did you get involved in taking over the Punisher?

Greg Rucka: Well, I wasn't actually initially approached to be part of the initiative as far as I know. Steve Wacker and I worked together on 52 and he has been in touch over the last year. There was this short story that I did, which Mike Hark drew, for I Am An Avenger and Steve edited that. Then he came back around a couple weeks later and basically said, "Look, we're doing a new Punisher book starting at #1 and I think you'd be really good at it."

And, you know, other people have called me, or suggested books to me, but every pitch just wasn't for me. My initial plan was to just take a year off. I just needed the time off. But it was a combination of Steve coming to me with the right offer, the right project at the right time. It wasn't until we were well into the process that I understood other stuff was going on with the "Big Shots" initiative.

IGN Comics: So how long ago did The Punisher project get started?

Greg Rucka: Steve and I have been talking about it for like 3-4 months now. He originally came to me with the pitch in December. I told him I had to think about it. So Steve being Steve, he kept asking about it [laughs]. I was really leery at the start of this project because there are certain difficulties in putting Frank in the mainstream Marvel universe, especially after you've had these Marvel MAX runs, which Jason Aaron is wrapping up now, and Garth [Ennis] did before him.

So there was a lot of conversation that happened beforehand where I figured out how to make this work for me.




IGN Comics: You've been away from the superhero game for a while now, especially in regards to Marvel, so it must have taken a seriously interesting project to bring you back full-swing.

Greg Rucka: Yes, it was like a year ago that I stopped working in mainstream comics. But it's been about seven years since I did anything consistent for Marvel. I did a few issues of Daredevil, but that was by invitation from Ed Brubaker. And even still, that was less working for a publisher, more working for a friend.

IGN Comics: So what was it about the pitch for Punisher that was really appealing to you?

Greg Rucka: One of the things I love about Frank is that he's simple to the point of elegance, in that there's a lot of nuance to the character. He's not a terribly difficult character to understand at first look. You take a look at him and he makes perfect sense. He's got no secret pain. He's not carrying this deep, dark anything. He's exactly as he appears. He is at war with crime and everything he does is so beautifully and elegantly directed towards one end. And when a character is that clean they actually become this wonderful source for stories about their world and the people around them.

I have no interest in fixing Frank. He doesn't need it. My only job is to give him people that really, really need to die. [laughs] There's something really delightful to go into something as fully realized as the Punisher is.

But the complication is that as beautifully realized as he is, he doesn't really fit into a universe of Marvel heroes.

IGN Comics: That's a great place to go next. How do you plan to make Frank Castle seem, for lack of a better word, relevant in a world where characters like Thor and Galactus exist?

Greg Rucka: Well, frankly, I'm not sure he needs to be "relevant." I have no interest in doing a Punisher slaughters the Marvel Universe storyline, or Punisher vs. Galactus one-off. You know, eventually I would like to write a Punisher vs. Wolverine showdown because that's something people would love to see.

There's a basic story question that's, how long can someone like Frank operate in the Marvel universe before someone like Thor says, "What art thou doing? [laughs] You're killing bad people and this is not appropriate behavior for a hero and we're putting a stop to it." When that happens it will be its own story. And that's something Steve and I are still wrestling with how to handle. And we'll deal with it when the time comes. That's not where we're starting from.

IGN Comics: So we should expect some really gritty, street-level drama stories from the start of this new Punisher series?

Greg Rucka: Yes, and that's where he works best. That's also the reason why he can survive. If you think about it in the grander scale of the Marvel universe, there's Fear Itself going on right now, there's not a lot of time for the heroes to spare on Frank Castle for shooting people in the face who really had it coming.[laughs]

You know, the moon might be crashing down to the Earth, I think they have to deal with that before they turn around and decide they need to take care of the Punisher.

IGN Comics: Now you mentioned earlier that when you and Steve were drafting up this Punisher series, you didn't know about this whole "Big Shots" initiative with the other street-level characters like Moon Knight and Daredevil. Now that you are aware, are there plans to cross-over the titles?

Greg Rucka: I think everyone is staying the hell out of each other's way. With all the people involved and knowing who they are, I think we're all giving each other enough room to run. It would be interesting to see if there's a time and place for that later though.

Honestly, I think it's kind of a cheap thing to do to your audience. You know, introduce a new book and tell them they need to buy all these other stories to get the whole picture. You should be able to buy Punisher #1 and know that, for at least the next half dozen issues, that the story will be told in full right there. You are not going to be required to pick up other books.

Comics to Video Games: Nick Fury
Added by Ray "StrongProtector' Carsillo on March 24, 2011 from COMICVINE.COM




Nick Fury's appeared in games before, but what could he do in his own stand alone title?

Nick Fury is one of the Marvel universe’s most important movers and shakers and his history is a long and storied one. World War II hero. Longest ever tenured director of SHIELD. Master manipulator of heroes and villains alike. But Nick Fury has never been the most dynamic of characters by his lonesome and is best known, especially nowadays, as working with a large group of people, whether leading a group of heroes or pulling strings behind the scenes in order to get to what he feels is best for the security of the world. So how could we make Nick the centerpiece of his own game while still playing to this strength?

The easy way out of an article like this would’ve been to just make this some World War II first-person shooter. But we’ve all seen that before and it’s not like Nick has some super powers to mix things up a bit. Plus, you move away from the group dynamic that I think Nick needs. No, this game would have to take place in the modern era and so I recommend featuring the Secret Warriors and making a hybrid game that combines RPG and gameplay elements from a game like Mass Effect 2 and action elements from a game like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

The first problem we would need to consult is the plot and that Nick doesn’t typically leave one of his many secret bases unless it is a severe threat or he is meeting with someone in person (and even then it might just be a Life Model Decoy). Luckily, HYDRA and Leviathan have been pretty busy lately in the comics and keeping Nick active and so this could be our reason for him to have that more hands on approach.
Baron von Strucker would be a logical choice for an antagonist in Fury's game.


I’ve never been good at coming up with a great conspiracy theory, but I’m sure Jonathan Hickman would be willing to lend a hand on fleshing out the plot since we’re using the characters he’s currently writing and could help come up with an original story since we know all the players who will be involved. We have the Secret Warriors, Leviathan, and HYDRA all mixing it up once again for the fate of the free world. Contessa and Baron von Strucker would have to make an appearance somewhere I’m sure.

Now to get back into the gameplay. Much like Mass Effect 2, we’ll have Nick take point of a three-person party with the other two party members being chosen from the Secret Warriors. What would be interesting about this dynamic is while Nick is taking headshots at HYDRA agents, depending on whom you chose from the team, you could have Quake stunning enemies with concentrated seismic tremors while Druid acts like a mage from a fantasy based RPG boosting powers or casting spells from a distance to help strike down the foes of freedom. I’m still not sure if we’ll have Phobos or Hellfire available since they’re technically dead at this point, but this would still give you five Secret Warriors for Fury to choose from as he hops around the world quelling threat after threat.
The Secret Warriors would assist Nick in most of the game's missions.


It wouldn’t be an RPG though if there wasn’t a leveling up system. I still might include a morality meter like in Mass Effect 2, at least for how the team reacts to Nick, but the traditional leveling up system will be very different. Sure, you can upgrade powers, health, and weapons depending on what character is leveling, but Nick Fury is known for having many pieces in motion at once on his worldwide chessboard. So instead of there being a shared XP system like in most RPGs and everyone leveling up rather evenly, team members who are not with Nick on certain missions can be assigned various secondary tasks, much like your assassin trainees in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, and in only that way can they level up while you’re out performing your plot required duties. For example, if you always use Slingshot and Stonewall on your team, but then a mission comes up where Eden Fesi's teleportation powers might prove interesting and you haven’t been sending him on secondary missions, he might not be able to pull his own weight on the plot’s primary mission you want to use him for.
Nick will do whatever is necessary in order to complete the mission.


Another aspect of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood I want to incorporate is the parkour movement aspect. Many, if not all RPGs, can feel very stiff when it comes to movement. Nick Fury is a secret agent though in peak physical condition and has trained all the members of the Secret Warriors himself. So why not have it where you can pull the camera back a little and climb and sneak through various bases and scenarios with your teammates to give it that real espionage feel? Or even have sections where you can choose to have members of your team break off from the group. Have Slingshot race around to the side of a base and flank your enemies or provide a distraction while Nick climbs up and crawls through some ventilation ducts. These choices could really provide a deep strategy aspect to the game as you try to decide what teammates to bring and how to progress through a level.

Another staple of Nick Fury stories is that he has a lot of flashbacks so even though we don’t want to make it the focus, we could have a couple of World War II levels to set up certain missions where Nick teams up with Captain America, Bucky, and/or Wolverine. This could help draw people in with some more name recognition and provide some variety incase we only use the five remaining members of the Secret Warriors as team choices. Or maybe have a few levels where Nick's agenda could go against those of the Avengers or other heroes to really put a twist on things as Nick and the Secret Warriors could face off against friends and allies.

So what do you think of a possible Nick Fury espionage RPG with his Secret Warriors? What twists and turns could be made to the plot? Should Nick call in favors from some more well-known heroes in the Marvel universe for cameos?

Review: Streets of Gotham #21 from Gotham Knights Online


Review – Streets of Gotham #21

Title: The House of Hush Finale
Written by: Paul Dini
Art by: Dustin Nguyen, Derek Fridolfs
Cover by: Dustin Nguyen
Release Date: March 23, 2011

Official DC Snyopsis: The sequel to “Heart of Hush” concludes! The life of Tommy Elliot takes a shocking new turn as “House of Hush” reaches its final soul-searing chapter. Secrets are revealed, lives are torn apart and a deadly new villain rises to threaten the existence of Batman and his allies.

Review by: Cesar Rodriguez

Well, it’s here, the final issue of Streets of Gotham has arrived. All the characters and plots that Dini has been building over the last several months finally reach their climax in this concluding issue. Looking back at the entire series, if there is one character who stole the spotlight more than any other, it was definitely Hush. Dini obviously must have come to really love the character during his stint on Detective Comics, because it often felt like he couldn’t resist using him on this title repeatedly. Not that I’m complaining, because quite frankly he made Hush into kind of a bad ass. This chapter opens with Hush betraying his new ‘allies’, Judson Pierce and Doctor Death, only to then be captured by a very unsuspecting villain after trying to settle his own score by himself. Those friends of his really could have come in handy right about now. Pierce, while dying from a gunshot, then remembers how he came to this point by showing us in flashback just why he spent so many years in prison. After awakening Dr. Death, the two of them manage to escape but Pierce unfortunately has a little chemical accident, and if you read comics you know that for some reason strange chemicals always have a handy way of bringing out the most bizarre side effects, as opposed to deadly infection of course.

What’s great about this issue is that it really does feel like the final issue of a long story as many of the characters undergo some sort of change that wraps up their story for the time being. It looks like Pierce may have a future as a new addition to Batmans ever growing rogues gallery, and Hush… well, let’s just say that he won’t be posing as Bruce Wayne any longer. At the same time, it’s obvious that Dini had plans for many more issues as there were several subplots that were laid out but now abandoned (Catwoman, Bedbug) now that the book is being canceled. This certainly isn’t the end of Dini’s career on Batman, as he has a new mini series coming up, so there may be a chance that any future plans he had may be brought to another title someday. Dustin Nguyen’s art will probably be the first thing that pops into my head when I think about this book,as he brought his unique art style to render what is definitely the best rogues gallery in all comics, and while his work on Batgirl is great as well, I feel like his style just works so much better when dealing with the scummy and twisted villains of Gotham.

As a huge fan of crime fiction and film noir, I remember when Streets of Gotham was first announced and being quite intrigued by the street level nature of what at the time promised to be a successor to Gotham Central, a book I continually champion as being one of the best comic books ever made. It turned out that while Streets of Gotham was indeed a gritty street level comic, it chose to focus on the other side of the law, which I feel is just as interesting of a premise. I’m going to miss reviewing Streets of Gotham, especially considering that this was the first book that I was given to review for this website, and while not every issue was a home run, it sure was a fun ride. Obviously the adventures of Batman, and the various villains who appeared throughout this comic will never end, but with so many Bat-titles these days it is probably for the best to trim out a few.

Score: 3.5/5
