Nightwing Issue #1



Knowing me, I had to do a review on one of our favorite sidekicks known to man. Nightwing, formerly known as Robin as Batman's little red masked crusader sidekick butt buddy, who is also known as Dick Greyson.

A little history about the little birdie, that isn't so little in his own comic "Nightwing".
Nightwing is a name that has been used by several fictional characters in the DC Comics Universe. The identity was created as a Kryptonian analogue to the character of Batman, with Nightwing's frequent partner Flamebird based on Robin. Both before Crisis on Infinite Earths and after it, the Nightwing persona originates with a Kryptonian vigilante taking the name of the "nightwing", a bird native to Krypton. Pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths, the identity is created by Superman, when he and Jimmy Olsen act as vigilantes during trips to the bottle city of Kandor. Post-Crisis, the name is attributed to a historic Kryptonian crime fighter. This hero serves as an inspiration for Dick Grayson when he sheds his Robin identity and assumes the name and a new costume in Tales of the Teen Titans #44 (1984). Although the moniker originated with the Superman mythos, Dick Grayson is the character most associated with the name Nightwing.

After I read this issue of Nightwing, I liked him more as Nightwing than Robin, I don't know why, but he seems like he is more brutal (like a Batman figure) than he was as Robin. I loved how Greg Land (Penciller/artist) drew the cartoons, and his costume. I liked the overall story of the comic, and the villains in it where pretty neat, but as the story continues, and you buy the later issues, they get even better, pulling you in more and more.

Overall, this was a great little mini series of comic's. And I enjoyed it. If any of you are like me, you will as well.

I will give this a 100% work ethic, and a pay raise. Just because I can, and I don't care what any of the other employees think.

The New Teen Titans Issue #24


The New Teen Titans, need I say anymore? YES! because this issue blew me outa the water! It was amazing! I am gonna give it a 10/10 right now! because it was great!

The Teen Titans, also known as The New Teen Titans, New Titans, or The Titans, is a DC Comics superhero team. The first incarnation of the group unofficially debuted in The Brave and the Bold #54 (July 1964), with the group making its first appearance under the name “The Teen Titans” in Brave and the Bold #60. As the group's name suggests, its membership is usually composed of teenaged superheroes. In the group's first adventure, the team was a junior Justice League of sorts, featuring Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West) and Aqualad, the sidekicks of Leaguers Batman, the Flash and Aquaman, respectively.

In its second appearance, the group branched out with the introduction of Wonder Girl, a character introduced for the group to serve as an analogue for Wonder Woman. In Donna Troy's wake, many additional new characters were introduced into the Titans team, many of which were not teenaged sidekicks to adult characters, most notably the college-aged heroes in the 1980 New Teen Titans revival Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven.

In issue #24, the Teen Titans have to overcome an obsticle, and that is, SAVE THE FREAKIN PRINCESS!!!...Yes, thats right, a princess...And the worst part about it is, the princess's sister is the one who kidnaps her, and gives her to the cytidel, because her sister Komand'r is a douche!

Also in this issue:
You will see some people talking about the JLA, (Justice League of America) and you will see their little meeting table. I love how in some of the Teen Titans comic books that they make little side comments about the JLA. To me it seems like the side kicks where angry that their "Masters" got to make this cool organization, and leave them out, so they decided to make the Teen Titans. Damn ignorance. I give the side kicks an F+!

The New Teen Titans, is another all time favorite of mine, because it is a mixture of some of all my favorite mutants, from Wonder Girl (A.K.A. Wonder Woman), to Robin. And I still stand by my grade on this paper, an A+!

A must see and read for any comic nerd reading this because they have no life, like myself.

Eastman and Laird's: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, issue #9


Just like many of you people, I am a huge fan of TMNT, and I have been wanting to do this review for a long time now. So, listen up, and gather around, and maybe take off your glasses, because this is a TMNT review by myself, "The Comic Book Nerd!"

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an American comic book published by Mirage Studios since May 1984 and still current in the present. Originally conceived by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird as a one-off parody, the comic's popularity has gone on to inspire three television series, numerous video games, four feature films, and a wide range of toys and merchandise.

So, this comic is about a couple of brothers (turtles) who have to save the city as usual!...But this time, some random Ninja dude comes outa no where! and starts tearing them new ass holes!

But then Master Splinter gives them a prep talk and then they end up going back and kicking this ninja right in his smoke balls.

over all I love the TMNT, they are awseome, and the newer comics just suck because they don't even kill anyone like the old ones...(its much better when there is killing involved!)...so over all I would give it a 10/10!

Another must read for any Comic Book Nerd!

Ultimate Spider-Man #1


Ok, so you are probably wondering, "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU POSTING ALL THESE CRAZY COOL AWESOME REVIEWS OF ALL THESE CRAZY SUPER HERO DUDES?", right? well, its because i am just that crazy Cool myself! :)

Speaking of witch, brings me to The Ultimat Spider-Man Issue #1.

I am reviewing only issue #1 probably because I loved that one so much, and yes, there are many other sweet Spider-Man comics out there, but I always thought this one was one of my favorites, only because its the first one I myself actually bought with my own pocket change.

Ultimate Spider-Man issue #1, is a modernized re-imagining of Marvel's long-running Spider-Man comic book franchise as part of its Ultimate Marvel imprint. Ultimate Spider-Man exists alongside other revamped Marvel characters in Ultimate Marvel titles including Ultimate X-Men, Ultimate Fantastic Four, and The Ultimates. I love it also because I have liked Spider-Man for a long while, and the new change of artwork is a huge step that Marvel was willing to take, and I thought it was a great change for them to mix it up a bit.

Another 10/10 for any Spider-Man lovers, and maybe all The Comic Book Nerds like myself out there :)

Iron Man


This next review is a special one. Iron man, just of late Iron Man has been made into a movie, witch many of you probably know, was just all around, kicked ass!.

The character first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963), and was created by writer-editor Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby.

Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark, he suffers a severe heart injury during a kidnapping and is forced to build a destructive weapon. He instead and of course creates a really freakin powerful crime fighting suit to save his life and help protect the world as the superhero, Iron Man. He is a wealthy industrialist and genius inventor who created military weapons and whose metal suit is laden with technological devices that of course enables him to fight crime like a bad ass!

Over all I feel he gets a 10/10 just because of bad assness, and kick awesomeness...and maybe some originality...another must have and read for any Comic Book Nerd :)

Groo the Wanderer


Ok, I had to do some sort of review of this comic. It has got to another one of my favorites, since I have been reading it for ever! Groo is based in the Midevil times, and Groo is the main character of course, he is a barbarian that is not so much all that smart. But all throughout his adventures, he finds himself in these really bad situations that he somehow seems to always get out of.

Sergio Aragonés, rewritten, coplotted and edited by Mark Evanier, lettered by Stan Sakai, and colored by Tom Luth. Groo is a parody of the Robert E. Howard character Conan The Barbarian. Conan the barbarian's art work was created by Frank Frazetta.

It is so funny, I never get tired of reading the graphic novel, another must read for comic Nerds.
