Anyway, this time I have gone to the extreme people! That's right E.X.T.R.E.M.E.!! I have picked up a comic/comic series I thought I might never pick up in my entire lifetime! Thor: First Thunder! And I have to admit, it wasn't too bad, though it is just another re-boot of the old Journey into 
Mystery stuff that Thor first appeared in in the early 60's from Marvel. Though I have to say I was never a fan of Thor myself, many of the readers that I know who actually enjoy Thor told me First Thunder was not their favorite. Me on the other hand, never expect too much from another God/Superhero scene. So when I did decide to buy First Thunder, I actually wasn't expecting too much from it, come to find out, I actually liked it! Hmmmm....
'Oh well!' I say to thee who shalt not like my agreement with marvel that hath bestowed thy grace with thy Book of Comic!...haha, I have no idea what I am talking about? Do you? No, no! Please! Tell me what the heck just happened there! It was like...some God took over my body, after I found this really awesome twig, and all of a sudden I found I had the strength of a God....Wait....Wasn't that the plot in the book? Hahaha Ohhhh yeah! So it is...
See what I mean? Its kinda lame, though I love the art work that was done in this new re-boot of Thor. I can't really say how good the new movie is gonna be, so don't trust my judgment on this review if your looking for an opinion on the movie. If you are, then I say its gonna suck! Just like every Hollywood comic flick out there! Green lantern? Maybe...Captain America...Could possibly be good, but still, I'm not gonna see it till I can either watch it at a friends place, or get it for free somehow.
Great! Here i go again...Ranting about useless information
! Luckily, its not useless to some, such as myself! So ha! :P
And of course, here is some history of Journey into Mystery:

Great! Here i go again...Ranting about useless information
! Luckily, its not useless to some, such as myself! So ha! :PAnd of course, here is some history of Journey into Mystery:
Journey into Mystery was an American Comic Book series published by Atlas Comics, and later its successor Marvel. It featured horror, monster, and of course, science fiction stories. With the start of the Silver Age of Comics, Marvel switched the feature to Superhero stories and in issue #83 introduced Thor, inspired by the Norse Thunder God and by writer Stan Lee's musings that comic books were the mythology of the modern day. Journey into Mystery primarily featured Thor stories through issue #125 and Journey into Mystery Annual #1, at which point the series was retitled The Mighty Thor.
Of course, not only did Thor just have his own brand of comics going for him, but he was later inducted into the Avengers, Marvel's way of slapping their DC competitors in the face by creating a new fighting force much like The Justice League of America. Though they are just as cool, I like the JLA much more. At least...In my opinion...
ANYWAYS!...Moving on...

ANYWAYS!...Moving on...
I also picked up an older Batman Comic today. Even though it is a bit older, I still enjoy reading ANYTHING written about the Gotham Knight. In this one, he is faced up against the deadly Ra's Al Ghul. A fierce warrior from the lands of...Well...From Asia I guess?
In Batman: Death and the Maidens, Ra's has now been suffering from some illness, and is looking to Batman once again to join his 'great' empire of 'honor and duty' an all that B.S.
Even though Ra's wants something good in this world, he ALWAYS tries to go about it the wrong way. Much like what Batman wants, Ra's wants as well, though killing millions to save the lives of thousands is not the way Batman would ever go about doing it, but Ra's Al Ghul would.
Also, what some don't know is that Wayne had a 'thing'....Yes, a 'thing' for Ra's Al Ghul's daughter. And Ra's of course knew this, and also knew about Wayne's alter-ego and knew that Bruce would play a very important roll in the 'recreation of the world' scenario if his daughter was to marry into the Wayne family. But when ever Ra's brings up this importance to Bruce, he deny's anything between his daughter and himself. Bruce would never, CAN NEVER, mary into a family filled with a life of crime.
So in this Death and the Maidens, its practically all about Ra's Al Ghul and himself trying to take over the world for 'the good of the world'. And there is a little love/romance in it between Bruce and Nyssa Raatko (Ra's Al Ghul's daughter). I have yet to finish the mini-series, but I shall buy the rest once I get enough money to purchase them all. I believe it is about an 8 part series consisting of about the normal 20-30 pages in each comic...so it should be a great story line here for me. I'm excited, I just hope you all are as well? And if not, then who cares?
Moving on! About this new Bendis and Maleev Moon Knight coming in May...I AM SO EXCITED! I don't know about any of you all out there, but I pretty much peed myself when a friend informed me about it!
http://www.comicvine.com/news/new-moon-knight-series-by-bendis-maleev/142790/
As you all know, I am a HUGE Moon Knight fan, and I use that term loos. So loos its like rubber! I know, that was a terrible joke, I don't know what came over me...My bloo
d sugar was low or something? But anyway!!! MOON KNIGHT!
If any of you have read my last post, you would know that Marvel has canceled Moon Knight, and has been canceled since...I really don't know how long ago....But still! He is due for a re-boot! And I am excited to say, May will release the drop of this new Moon Knight re-boot!
The even better part is that Bendis and his crazy team of awesome is going to be writing/drawing/editing and everything! Its orgasmic!!
Now, if you don't know already, but Bendis and his team of creativeness/awesomeness was behind the Ultimate Spider-Man series. One of my favorites of all time!! I am also a HUGE fan of Spidey and Ultimate was like God's gift to us nerds!
And if you are any sort of Moon Knight fan, you would be just as stoked for this as I am right now!! I soooooo can't wait to see what they are doing with him.
If any of this info was useless to you, then tell it to my face!! I'll personally kick your...Soccer ball!
I would give Thor: First Thunder a whopping 8/10, only because I am not a huge fan of the story, and there was not a good story line lined up for it...its all just the same thing talking about the same stuff and all that jazz...Though I like it better than any other Thor story thus far! I can't wait to get the next issue. And since its a 5 part issue, I am not too worried.
Batman: Death and the Maidens, I will give about a 9/10 because I love the story, but there wasn't that much in-depth background to it. The beginning started out as the same old Batman stuff...About Bruce remembering his parents and how they died when he was a child. TIME TO MOVE ON BRUCIE-BAT'S!
This has been another Comic Book review from yours truly!
