Quick Review: The Incredible Hulk

June 13th, 2008 · Comments

Wow. Marvel knows what its doing.  I thought it wasn’t going to get any better than Iron Man, but guess what, it did.  Okay.  Maybe they are both about the same.   Once again they give you hints of the Marvel Universe, and they tie the two movies together along with setting up other elements of [...]

This issue is a perfect starting point for a new reader.   Reed Richards and the gang get a visit from Namor, Dr Doom and the Black Panther from the future.  They  traveled through time to stop Idea #101 that Reed came up with during ”Civil War”.  The issue is light on action but Dwayne McDuffie’s snappy dialogue and superb plotting move the [...]

Iron Man XBox Game Screenshots

October 29th, 2007 · Comments

We don’t cover video games much here. But screenshots from the Iron Man Xbox game have appeared. I must say that if the game play looks this good, I might have to get an Xbox if the games not going to be available for PS3.
