ITS A PLANE! ITS SUPERMAN #700! Yeah yeah I know that was cheesy but can ya blame me? I am so excited for this. Not only does it mark the end of the last couple of year of New Krypton story, which I liked but thought it lasted way too long. It also marks the beginning of J. Michael Straczynski’s run on the book. This is something I’ve been excited about for quite a while. From how he has spoken about the character he seems like he has a good grasp of how Superman should be written. If you want a little something extra to prove how JMS has been “knocking out of the park” over at DC, track down Brave and the Bold #33. It was a story that featured Wonder Woman, Zatanna, and Batgirl. There is also a third story set in Superman’s past written by the man who killed Superman, Dan Jurgens!</p><p><br /></p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sea Bear and Grizzly Shark</span></strong></p> <p>A shark that hunts on land? A grizzly bear that hunts at sea? With a tagline like “THEY GOT MIXED UP” how can you not go wrong with a book like this. This book just looks like all sorts of fun and its brought to you by Jason Howard and local Utah artist Ryan Ottley. Ottley is best known for his work on the blockbuster Invincible series also from Image Comics. I’m going to go so far as to say if you don’t pick this up then you are not a fan of fun!</p> <p>As always my picks and everything on the following list can be picked up or ordered from Dr Volts Comics! So get your pen and paper and make your pull lists because here are the books that come out this week!</p>Dr Voltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354861024653481717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634702600626060142.post-85801798774122239962010-06-17T13:23:00.000-07:002010-06-17T13:27:38.885-07:00New weekly reviewsHey everyone, We are finally going to start the weekly reviews for the store. I want to thank Jeramiah and the folks at Big Shiny Robot for making and hosting these reviews. So here we go.<br /><br />New Avengers #1<br /><br />When this book was first solicited my first thought was, “We have 3 ongoing Avengers books coming out before this. Why do we need another and why do they have to restart New Avengers with a new #1?” Well I had a chance to read this last week and oh my stars was I bitching for no reason! This book is fun and gets into the super-heroing action right away as Luke brings the team together and something funky is going on with the former and current sorcerer supremes. As a first issue this has been my favorite of the recent influx of Avengers books! Go get this I say!<br /><br /><p><strong>Atlas #2</strong></p> <p>If you haven’t been reading Agents of Atlas over the last few years then you’ve been missing out on a real treat. In my opinion you can’t go wrong with a book that has a killer robot and gorilla with machine guns! And with the restart of this series in the age of heroics writer Jeff Parker has gone and made 3D Man a character that I actually care about. So if you like fun then give this book a try. And if you’re already reading it then you are doing something right in life!</p>Dr Voltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354861024653481717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634702600626060142.post-22667915606191345562010-06-08T15:33:00.000-07:002010-06-08T15:37:02.627-07:00Charity auctionThanks to everyone who bought items online and in store.

Its Avengers Day. What will be going on is that Marvel is sending us some special variant covers for the large amount of Avengers tie-in books coming out on May 19th. As well as a truly staggering amount of giveaway material.<br /> So to help celebrate the new Avengers #1 we will be giving out all that free stuff, as well as running some sales and specials to give all my wonderful customers a special treat.Dr Voltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354861024653481717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634702600626060142.post-54949997087964575142010-05-03T12:38:00.000-07:002010-05-03T12:47:14.196-07:00Free Comic Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwBSbmy2WghRZUArZnWP39zreNISJaKbgz5XDVw6lF4Gatoox7-39VI0wCRRSpbAIGK7iRtMWOh_1MYJRYdCM5EzYg9L8liqlXH_crsEQFnlRV9iDBNTDkW3uqKEbZ3ltkjUaIzw1YJJ5U/s1600/HPIM1635.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRM_qx02ta8_NJS7AALtuo2xGwYLZNvJexE_tOkRK__vPHIu0fIUOK4dkB0_d5BUtB7T8DS15W38Jmn1NLROK6o2e-ysFz8obToF6CiaS06O80SMwwltOrG5uH50ucb6UmMheGJRQuCRWr/s1600/HPIM1634.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRM_qx02ta8_NJS7AALtuo2xGwYLZNvJexE_tOkRK__vPHIu0fIUOK4dkB0_d5BUtB7T8DS15W38Jmn1NLROK6o2e-ysFz8obToF6CiaS06O80SMwwltOrG5uH50ucb6UmMheGJRQuCRWr/s400/HPIM1634.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467132271251679570" border="0" /></a><br />I wish to thank everyone who came out for Free Comic Day.

I think everyone loved the comics on display, especially the new DC Blackest Night. I know this because we ran out of almost everything in about 2 hours. Next year I order more. I want to thank everyone who came out to see us, most of all the new people who used this as their first intro into the greater comic world. We hope that everyone had fun and we expect to see you come in soon.<br /><br />Now as for Star Trek<br /><br />As usual for a Star Trek movie the actual science is murky and there are a couple of plot holes,<br />But I coudn't care less. This was the most enjoyable release from the franchise in years. Everything from young Kirk and Spock to the return of Nimoy to the films just made me happy. There was enough action and drama to make this movie fly bye. I just hope that we can get more films based on the new Star Trek reality.<br /><br />As always, enjoy your dayDr Voltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354861024653481717noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634702600626060142.post-47287728089707391742009-04-04T15:33:00.000-07:002009-04-04T15:41:45.994-07:00Welcome to the new websiteHello, and welcome.

I enjoyed it but I did feed that most of the Caprica flashbacks felt like fillers to pad out the episode. I am not going to go into a long rant about what I felt everything in the series really signified so don't worry about that. I did feel that the ending was fairly abrubt. Look they found Earth, lets give up all our technology and live on the land with the nice primitive peoples. They only thing I really would like an answer to is what ever happened to the cylons that went off in the base ship. <br /><br />I could watch a quick mini-series about that.Dr Voltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354861024653481717noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634702600626060142.post-55144306590195014912009-03-12T13:26:00.000-07:002009-03-12T13:33:07.004-07:00WatchmenI know this review is a little late, but I'm lazy.<br /><br />I thought the movie was incredible. It stayed true to the story in the book but changed enough to make it work in the theater. After all, would an alien really have worked at the end? Even though it was almost 3 hours I was never bored or temped to start dozing like with other movies that length.<br />The only downside I see is that if your not familiar with the book you won't enjoy as much as us comic geeks, and the hard R rating and run length will hurt it in the box office. <br />I can't wait for the extended DVD with the extra scenes and the Black Freighter story.Dr Voltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354861024653481717noreply@blogger.com0
