Avengers/Invaders #1 was a good debut issue to what should be a great 12 issue series.

Today's comic began just a few weeks ago. The art of RADBOD is wonderful, very spare and graphic-novel style. I've always loved robot comics! Not much dialogue yet, but dialogue is not the feature here -- the artist, Barnaby Richards, is putting the meaning into the pictures.

The Revolution has been anxiously awaiting Avengers/Invaders #1 for quite some time. It is no secret that we have fell in love with the what Krueger and Ross have given us over on Project Super Powers.

Marvel continues to flood the market with Iron Man as we get yet another Iron Man mini-series with Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas. Jon Favreau, the director of Iron Man, is handling the writing duties on this title as Adi Granov handles the art chores. I am looking forward to Favreau’s story. Favreau gave us a fantastic version of Tony Stark and clearly gets Tony’s character. I’m confident that we

The Revolution really enjoyed the last issue of Mighty Avengers. Bendis did a fantastic job writing Nick Fury’s character and filling the reader in on the back-story about what Nick has been doing in connection with the Skrull invasion. Mighty Avengers #13 continues to follow Nick Fury as he attempts to deal with the Skrull infiltration. It also appears that we are going to get treated to an all new version of the Howling Commandos. I have a good feeling that Mighty Avengers #13 is going to be a fine read.

The Revolution found Secret Invasion #1 to be a slightly above average read. Bendis started off slowly, but he slowly gained some steam and delivered a pretty good ending to the debut issue of this big event.

It’s about that time again, time to pick the new leader of the free world. Just for the sake of clarity I would prefer to label the new president of the United States as leader of the pseudo-free world and annihilator of the less fortunate, just because it sounds cooler, and let’s be honest, what true freedom exists in the States when I can’t even say Merry Christmas without offending a Jew or two and probably ending up in shackles.So it’s time for y’all to decide who is gonna make the rest of the world hate your guts for the next four years. For what some might consider one of the most important decisions of the year, the American public seem to treat elections ever so immaturely. When choosing one’s leader, one must account for the decisions the chosen individual might make u

Striptease is not a stripper comic, despite the name. I've been reading it since the beginning -- it's gone through a lot of changes. The strip is about a comic strip artist, and the team producing the comic, but it's really a long-running soap opera. The cast of Striptease produces NEATO-PEOPLE, a comic within the comic, but NEATO-PEOPLE doesn't often make an appearance in the webcomic. It's just the character's job. Striptease is my guilty pleasure. I've stuck with these crazy characters through all their trials and tribulations, artist changes, and years of great comics. Now it's your turn!

Let’s go ahead and dish out The Revolution’s weekly awards.The nominees for the Che for the best read of the week:Action Comics #864DC Universe #0Legion of Super Heroes #41Immortal Iron Fist #14New Avengers #40The Winner: DC Universe #0Last week treated us to an excellent crop of comic books. This was a tough decision for me to decide which issue was going to receive The Che this week. Action Comics #864 was an excellent teaser issue for the upcoming Legion of Three Worlds mini-series. Johns does his job by providing enough back-ground information for newer readers while getting long time readers pumped up for a titanic showdown with the Time Trapper.Legion of Super Heroes #41 was another excellent read. Shooter continues to impress me with his work on this title. I was initially skept

The Revolution finally got over to the movie theater and saw Iron Man. Needless to say, I absolutely loved the movie. Of course, I knew that I would like this movie. What has stunned me is the impressive opening that Iron Man had last weekend and the overwhelming number of positive reviews from all the movie critics.Iron Man hauled in a remarkable $104 million in its opening weekend. That is the second highest opening ever for a non-sequel and the tenth highest opening of all-time. Overseas, Iron Man pulled in $96.8 million giving Iron Man a grand total of $201 million in its opening weekend. The reported production costs for Iron Man have varied between $140 million and $180 million. So, it appears that Marvel will be netting a nice profit off of Iron Man.Marvel will certainly be happy wi

Geeks of Doom met with a lot of great, hardworking independent comic creators during this year's New York Comic Con. Here is the second installment of our series of reviews for the nearly 20 lbs. of books we came away with after all the smoke cleared.

The Revolution rarely enjoys origin stories. And the last issue of Green Lantern was no exception. Johns is giving us the second installment of the “Secret Origin” story with Green Lantern #30. The fact is that most origin stories are a bit boring as the writer rarely gives anything new for long time readers to enjoy. Johns is basically just taking several issues off in order to catch his breath for the next story arc. I’m sure that Green Lantern #30 will be another average read.

After playing a Father in MY NAME IS ANTHONY GONSALVES earlier this year, Mithun Chakraborty would be seen in a different role this May. Now he would be changing gears and enacting the role of a Don, albeit the one who carries comic shades.Titled DON MUTHUSWAMI, the film comes from the house of Shakti Samanta who is the man behind timeless classics like ARADHANA, KATI PATANG, AMAR PREM and many more. However, it is not the veteran film maker but his son Ashim Samanta who has taken over the responsibility of directing DON MUTHUSWAMI, a comedy. Asheem's last directorial outing was AANKHON MEIN TUM HO which was a box office failure.Film's plot revolves around the character of a don (played by Mithun) who, in order to fulfill the wishes of his dying father, tries to go straight in life.

Not so long ago (Saturday), in a shopping center not so far away (Indiana West), comic book fans and collectors picked up free comics and baseball cards, got autographs from former Pirates' relief ace Elroy Face and hobnobbed with Star Wars storm troopers and other characters in celebration of national Free Comic Book Day at a customer-appreciation event at the Indiana Sportscards shop off Shelly Drive. Participating shops across the country handed out some 2 million comics.

I saw Iron Man yesterday with a few friends, and I liked it more than I was expecting to. Sure, it had a borderline-ridiculous plot, but Robert Downey, Jr. was brilliant. He’s has been one of my favorite actors ever since I saw A Scanner Darkly, and his role in Iron Man is the only [...]

Teen Titans continues to be an entertaining read. I concede that McKeever is treading very well worn ground with yet another evil version of the Teen Titans in the Terror Titans. However, the story has been fast paced with good action and solid character work. I fully expect Teen Titans #58 to be another quality read.

The Revolution always looks forward to Shooter’s latest issue of the Legion of Super Heroes. To be sure, Shooter does need to tighten up the story a bit and pick the pace up on this alien invader plotline. Still, I am in love with this title due to the character work that has been so enjoyable and the fact that for the first time in many years this title actually reads like a Legion title. I’m confident that Legion of Super Heroes #41 will be another quality read.

The Revolution was less than impressed with the Legion of Super Heroes story arc. It was dull and anti-climactic. Now that Johns has concluded a major story arc, I expect him to follow it up with a filler issue in Action Comics #864. We are also getting a fill-in artist with this issue. I am not expecting this issue to be anything special. Maybe Johns will surprise me with what he in store for us with this issue.

The Revolution has maintained low expectations for Secret Invasion. I am not expecting anything more than a story that is the equivalent of your typical summer blockbuster movie. And so far, this approach has served me well as I have been rather entertained by this Skrull infiltration. I am definitely looking forward to New Avengers #40 since it continues the story that we got over on New Avengers: The Illuminati #1 that came out way back in December of 2006.

It's Lucky again, and I hate it when Deej or Snuffles sit around reading comic books and don't talk to me or even forget to feed me and don't do the housework or the cooking or help around here at all.

This weeks comic is for the women in my life. Cathy Thorne gets the female perspective because, well, she's a woman. Everyday People is her attempt to clarify and expose what being a modern woman entails. Often hilarious, and consistently amusing, this comic isn't destined to be one of my favorites, but I do like the humor. Cathy was kind enough to let us post these two comics, and you can see the potential from these. The comic updates weekly, and there's only a few hundred comics in the archive, so dig in and enjoy! This second one reminds me of the ladies we had at open mic a couple weeks ago. :) Everyday People on Whidbey Island.

Justice League of America has lost much of its luster as DC has reduced it mainly as a platform to shill for storylines to be delivered in other titles.

I continue to be impressed with Morrison’s Batman and enjoy how Morrison is handling Bruce’s character.Mighty Avengers #12 was a great read. I was so impressed with how Bendis wrote Fury’s character. It is wonderful to see Bendis flexing his obvious creative talents and write a unique voice for Fury that didn’t read like a trademark “Bendis voice.” Mighty Avengers #12 proved two things. First, that Bendis can flat out write the hell out of Nick Fury and if old one-ey

The Revolution has found the Hulk to be a bit lacking in substance. I dig McGuinness’ artwork, but the writing has been unimpressive. Even though I wasn’t all that thrilled with much of the last issue, I have to admit that the ending totally hooked me. Seeing Rick Jones alive was a shock, but that was nothing compared to how stunned I was when Rick transformed into the new Abomination.

We are finally here. There were moments when I thought I would not be able to last to the very end. It has been a real struggle to keep chronicling this story as it simply sunk to all new lows with each issue. For as much a success as 52 was, Countdown has been an unmitigated failure. DC gagged up one horribly plotted and paced story with this title. Countdown was a flawed and poorly conceived idea from the start and suffered from lousy execution.And what really gets me is that there appears to be no purpose to this title. Morrison has gone out of his way to state that his Final Crisis has nothing to do with Countdown to Final Crisis. Huh, whaaaat? You mean a comic book entitled “Countdown to Final Crisis” has nothing to do with Final Crisis? That lacks any and all sense. That is eithe
