Ultimately Off-Topic V: NemeSinx

I finally got Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates vol 1, hardcover...it's fantastic, now I finally know what you've all been talking about. I can't wait for the next volume, I definitely think I'll tradewait, though- the story was really fast-paced and seemed like it was better as one story read together.

Yea I just get the issues individually, read those, and then read the whole arc again once it's completed. Stuff does read a lot better when it's like that though.

Those Dark Knight Rises screens are pretty cool. That movie is going to be so awesome.

Sinx, that Season Pass is now available for Legend of Korra on iTunes, I'll be getting it sometime this weekend, hopefully.

Also, to anyone else...the first two episodes of Legend of Korra are available for free on iTunes, as well...

The Cabin In The Woods is freaking fantastic and the super secret cameo is up there with Wolverine in XM:FC and Bill Murray in Zombieland. I was disappointed that I was able to figure out the whole film 1/3 of the way in, but it's also kind of SUPPOSED to be predictable due to it flaunting the cliches in typical Whedon fashion, however I wasn't supposed to figure it all out that fast. Drew Goddard my be new to the industry, but he is definitely someone I'm going to keep an eye on because he's got some talent. If you are a fan of horror films this is a must see. If you want a good laugh I would also recommend this film.

Anime DC Women title & Digital Batman Comic coming:

Joining Smallville, Justice League Beyond, Batman Beyond, Superman Beyond and Batman: Arkham Unhinged will be Ame-Comi Girls, based on the DC Collectibles line of Japanese manga-style statues, and an out-of-continuity Batman series.

Brian Truitt nails the lede here, saying “DC Comics aims to make every day a new comics day.” Ame-Comi Girls, written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, will come out on Mondays, while Batman–which will feature tales of the Dark Knight by Ben Templesmith, Steve Niles, B. Clay Moore, Nicola Scott, Joshua Hale Fialkov, Damon Lindelof and Jeff Lemire, among others–will come out on Thursdays. So the weekly line-up of digital-first series from DC looks like this:

Monday: Ame-Comi Girls
Tuesday: Batman: Arkham Unhinged
Wednesday: The Beyond comics
Thursday: Batman
Friday: Smallville: Season 11

“Our goal has always been from the very beginning to have something for everyone. The opportunities that digital opens up, it really allows us to go for as wide an audience as possible,” Hank Kanalz, DC’s senior vice president for digital, told USA Today. “The Lindelof thing will really appeal to tons of fans who don’t read regular comics, obviously. Hopefully when they come, they’ll see what an amazing medium this is and stay.”

Update: Via press release, DC has announced more details on the Ame-Comi Girls series. “AME-COMI GIRLS, launching in May, is based on the best-selling product line from DC Collectibles that brings the distinct Japanese influence of anime and manga to DC Comics’ female heroines and their foes. In the new series, the heroines must unite to stop an invasion by the female Braniac, who is aided by a group of ‘bad girl’ super villains. Initially, there will be five individual character arcs with multiple chapters, leading up to united, Ame-Comi girl series. All stories are written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray with Wonder Woman art by Amanda Conner and Tony Akins, Batgirl art by Sanford Greene, Duela Dent art by Ted Naifeh, Power Girl art by Mike Bowden and Supergirl art by Santi Casas.”

They also announced the creative pairings for the Batman digital comics: “BATMAN digital, launching in June, will take place outside of DC Comics – The New 52 continuity and feature a series of stand-alone stories by various creators that chronicle different cases handled by The Dark Knight. Confirmed creative teams include Damon Lindelof and Jeff Lemire; Jonathan Larsen and JG Jones; Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott; Ales Kot and Ryan Sook; B. Clay Moore and Ben Templesmith; Steve Niles and Trevor Hairsine; Joe Harris and Jason Masters; TJ Fixman and Christopher Mitten; Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman; Joshua Hale Fialkov and Phil Hester; David Tischman and Chris Sprouse; and many more!”

Also Haywire was such an awesome movie, heck i think the Blu-ray is coming out really soon.

Oh what a surprise, DC copying Marvel.

Oi, wyo! What's that movie about?

I can't tell you without ruining the movie. I know that sounds really bad, but IMDB has the best description "Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin in the woods, where they get more than they bargained for. Together, they must discover the truth behind the cabin in the woods". Even though I figured out the whole thing early on, it's still freaking genius and original.

Could you tell me at least in a PM, please? I'm short on money so I won't be going to the movies for a while. Hopefully I save enough to watch at least Dark Shadows and The Dark Knight Rises this summer (and that's if I go to the morning matinee).

Sounds like Nightmare on Elm Street based off the commercials. I will probably watch it tonight.

It's nothing like Nightmare on Elm Street. Shockingly though so many horror films are referenced and NOES wasn't

This is the BEST Superman costume I've ever seen!!!

It is from the Smallville Season 11 comic book.

It's better than Jim Lee's, but it need's red trunks, it still has WAY too much blue.

The red of the cape and boots balance out when it comes to the ratio of color. The red trunks are ridiculous. Anyhow, I like the double tones of blue.

Difference in opinion is all.

30 Days of Night keeps getting better and better!

Difference in opinion is all.

The first part of my comment, "The red of the cape and boots balance out when it comes to the ratio of color," was actually a valid statement from a Graphic Design minor. Apart from personal opinion the reason it works is that it effectively balances the two colors, thus the mention of ratios.
