Mark Millar's Superior Issue #1 Review!!!!!

Ok, ok, you can pick up that I'm one of the only comic geeks that like Mark Millar, yeah so what? Well Mark Millar again writing on the Icon Imprint/Marvel, starts to write something great again. Now lately everything has been very violent and vulgar and pushing the boundaries. But this time Millar promises us a more of a for everyone styled comic-book, we all know he loves superman, right? He Exploits the fact that a lot of us say that, Superman is too perfect, and not relatable, unless you're a illegal alien. I was more into guys like PRIME (ULTRAFORCE) or CAPTAIN MARVEL (SHAZAAM not Kazaam you asshole) because they were kids/teens who could transform into Superman styled characters. Well Mark Millar has been writing comics in the style of, how could it be possible for these things to happen in our real time.So he takes and gives us Superman and Shazaam Mixed.

Superior is about a young boy who has MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and has went from being a great athlete to being battered and handicap. We start by seeing a Superhero on the big screen, and two best friends watching it. Simon and his Best friend Chris are enjoying the movie, after the movie ends Chris speaks on how Superior is too Perfect, but Simon doesn't agree, he thinks he's the best superhero ever. While outside the theater some kids tease Simon for having MS, but his friend Chris takes up for him. His Hot Comic book Drawn mom later comes to help him too, but he thinks about how much his friend is a great person. It makes him think about what he can't do or be anymore, but as he goes to sleep a special character greets him. And our friend Scott Pooni is granted a wish that will change his life forever, he becomes THE SUPERIOR. This is a series I'm very excited about, especially because of how the story is written, and the art by Leinil Francis Yu is beautiful. I would give this series so far a 9.5/10 its amazing, I'm excited to know what is going to happen. It's a nice start to a series, it reminds me of what we'd love to wish for, if we were granted powers (Comic Geeks at least).

KICK-ASS 2 Issue #1 REVIEW!!!!

The moment we all been waiting for, the 2nd series to Kick-Ass!!! Now with the success of the first comic book series in Millarsworld, Icon/Marvel comics. Kick-Ass came into the comic book scene with a statement! Mark Millar gave us the concept of what if (yeah as usual Millar lol) someone who loved heroes and comics so much decided to become a superhero. With the success of it being a rare printed comic book in this day and age was amazing! With art done by the Great John Romita Jr. (Spider-man, Daredevil, and son of Legendary comic artist Romita Sr.) and the writing of Mark Millar. It became a instant hit, after being adapted to a movie it brought popularity into the series,well written movie that had a gross revenue of 96,117,224. This was a movie that kept up with The best hero movies of all time, from Batman to Spider-man, So Series two issue #1 finally came out.

If you haven't read Series one or seen the movie, do that before getting into this.We start off with Mindy (Hit-Girl) training Kick-Ass heavy in the Gym. We all know Kick-ass couldn't fight worth a damn in series 1, but now he's training to become a real KICK-ASS (Badum Ching). We also learn in this issue that Kick-Ass wants to start or join a real Superhero faction. We also pick up on the fact that there are now more heroes and villains walking around, since Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl Defeated a Crime-Lord. And with Red Mist being the main super villain now since we left off series 1, it's gonna get interesting. Hit-girl is now being forced into living a regular life, and Kick-Ass tells us events of the future as he's telling the opening story! The Writing is Millars Best in a while, because Nemesis is just a shocker, but awesome none the less. Kick-Ass has great Writing, and it feels like a Movie now, and this excites me for this series as much as BATMAN AND ROBIN. I give KICK-ASS Issue #1 a 10/10, Its F**KING AMAZING!!!! A MUST READ! And this series will get you guys excited into wanting for issue after issue. Its Better than Series 1 so far, and that was Bad-ASS, KICK-ASS (Badum Ching).

MARK MILLAR'S NEMESIS ISSUE #3 Review

Well As You Read my Issue #2 Review which if you notice, I don't really give in depth to ruin the storyline for you, or try to make you have my view. I just give my opinion, time after time I read or watch Reviews on a Comic or a Comic series, and if they hate the series, they bash you with why they hate it. Never do they just say their opinion and let you choose to go read it, so here we go( Heath Ledger Joker Voice). So We Last Left off with Nemesis getting captured by every form of law and soldier possible in America, and now we go to him in Prison, as a press conference states that they now have him under custody and under control, and stating that his henchmen are not smart enough to do any damage. This statement is true if...................It wasn't all part of the Plan(Heath Ledger Joker Voice). Nemesis shows them that he can't be contained and breaks out of Prison, with one of the most Bad-Ass Fights in a comic book ever, he fights 100 guys! And the surprise he has in store for the great Chief Inspector Blake Morrow can't hold him. This was a big pick up and excited me for Issue #4 and shows how much power that Nemesis has. I Give Issue #3 a 9/10. This is a Must Read Series, some will like it, some feel Mark Millar is Overrated, I Personally feel he's pretty damn genius.

MARK MILLAR'S NEMESIS ISSUE #2 Review

So Last time I posted a review about this, it was NEMESIS #1, I explained that the best description Mark Millar could give us is. What if Batman was a complete Asshole, or what if Batman had everything that he has, from his training, his wealth and everything, but was a Villain with the mindset of the Joker. Well we finally learn that Nemesis comes from a wealthy family, but wants revenge for his parents being humiliated and arrested for crime. In this issue NEMESIS takes everyone on a High speed chase after they tried to set a trap for him, after getting Addressed he claims that it was a part of his plan. The action is very cool, the writing for this book is kinda Parody, everywhere, and just over the top pushing the limits for a comic book. Mark Millar since writing Kick-Ass and making a major Motion Picture hit, has been trying with this new Branch of Marvel known as ICON (EYE SEE YOU). He has given us What IF Regular people in our world did this, and it was successful with Kick-Ass Storyline wise, it was good. With Nemesis, I feel that I am just being taken on a crazy action ride, kinda like how he wrote WANTED. I recommend you check this series out with no doubt, if you're into very violent and over the top comics (I Love Me some Punisher Max). Overall with the Storyline so far being kinda Blah but yet edge of your seat, action pack, wanting to know more about the Mysterious character and his motives, will make you want to read more. I gave issue #1 a 9.5/10, But I will be giving Issue #2 a 7.0/10 OVERALL. I Say Check this series out from #1 up to when 4 comes out.

New Must Reads (Comic Books)

NEW COMIC BOOKS THAT ARE MUST READS!!!!

Hello TeamTerry, Welcome back to the Samurai Comedians Blog. As you all know imma huge comic book fan/geek, and I want to let you know about a few series of comics that are must read.

1st up is the New Batman and Robin Series, after "The fight for the cowl" Dick Grayson(First Robin/Nightwing) Takes over as the Dark knight, and Batmans son Damien Wayne is the new Robin. I know what you're thinking, Dick Grayson as Batman will never top Bruce Wayne. Don't hate me for this but uhhhhhh, Bruce Wayne is in trouble because they wrote Dick Grayson as a amazing Batman! He has a sense of humor, he's more fun, he's still just as Bad-ass, he fits the Suit well. Now as for the new Robin Damien, just like Damien from the Omen, he's scary as hell. Imagine if Bruce Wayne was Robin, but a kid Bruce Wayne that actually doesn't care if he Kills people or not. Well thats Damien, after the "Death" of Bruce Wayne (Darkseid shot him with beams that sent him back in time) Someone had too take over. Tim Drake (The third Robin) is now RED ROBIN, who is on search to find Bruce Wayne all over the world. The Joker is lost without his Batman O______O, and Superman had to get adjusted to Dick Grayson being Batman. With so much going on how can you not read this story line!? Everything is leading up to the Return of Bruce Wayne. Batman fans must read this! I feel like I left many holes and Gaps, oh yeah that's right, I don't wanna ruin it!
