Namor is back!

In recent years Namor has been one of my favorite characters in the Marvel Universe. Mainly because of his role in the New Avengers during the Marvel Now era. if you have not read the Hickman Avengers books from that era I highly recommend it. With the news today that Namor is back in the hands of Marvel for the MCU it makes me very excited for what is to come.

Lights, Camera ... Action!

I just recently picked up a light box, so I have been messing around taking a bunch of pictures. I am only using my iPhone 6 currently, I know not the most professional. As I do it more I will upgrade to a real camera, right now I am testing different backdrops and light set ups. Any advice would be great if you have any to offer. Anyway here are some pictures I have done, enjoy!

Thank you for creating this world

I find that many know of Hellboy, but have never read it. This is most likely due to the movies which did a decent job of capturing the heart of the book. I do feel that anyone who is a comic fan or likes the movies should give these books a shot. Not only is it a fantastic universe that Mike Mignola has created but his art is stunning and helped define the series. So why do I bring this up? Because Hellboy just ended / has been put on pause while creator Mike Mignola takes a break.

How Ratchet got his crosses back

Masterpiece Ratchet was released with a sticker sheet for different marking options. Sadly due to I believe copyright issues they could not use his traditional red crosses. There were crosses with Autobot symbols and ones with extra squares at the corner, so you had to mod one of the stickers to get the cartoon look. Unfortunately some were cutting there stickers wrong and ruining them, so there was demand for the proper looking symbols to be released. Thanks to the community a sheet has recently been released.

I have witnessed the Apocalypse and man was it fun!

I have been a X-Men fan since I was a little lad growing up on the 90's cartoon.Between that and the comics I spent a great deal of time with them in the 90's and onward. When it came to the movies there were misses but what you can say is what it did for the super hero genre in film. We finally got the material taken seriously and for the time they were great. You go back now and look at the originals and they might not hold up the best but they are still OK and definitely watchable for the most part. Yea we all know the failures that are X3 and X Men Origins Wolverine but since first class the X movies have been quite good. I would say this new trilogy is much better than the first even though it had to correct X3.

At what point should the story end?

This is a question the constantly crosses my mind for both television and comics. When should you just leave the characters alone and go to something new? Is it better to end Captain America or constantly change up the status quo for example, it is a tough call.

Greetings and news on the Man Without Fear
