Geek News: Next Captain America challenges Man of Steel 2

Marvel just announced that Captain America 3 will be releasing the same weekend as DC's new Man of Steel 2 that will feature Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.  We don't know much about Captain America 3 other than the release date.  About a month ago DC pushed the movie back not being able to meet the original deadline.  But it looks like Marvel is up for the challenge.  Either way it's going to be an incredible day on May 6, 2016 with both movies debuting.  Either way I am pumped for both movies, and as a fan of both DC and Marvel I can't wait for an action packed day of superhero movies.  And also with Free Comic Book day following the next day this is going to be an amazing comic weekend with great movies and comics.  Hopefully FCBD will feature comics with both movies and it will be an even bigger bonus.  Either way this weekend is going to be an amazing geek weekend.  What do you think?  Will both keep it at the same date or will DC move the movie date again?  Will you see both movies?  Let us know what you think and stay tuned for more updates on both movies.

Movie Review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Marvel fans across the globe have been pumped for Marvel's newest movie, Captain America The Winter Soldier.  Last night I watched the movie in 3d at the IMAX.  Naturally I was pumped for this movie because not only was I excited for another Captain America movie, but I loved The Winter Soldier in the comics an a couldn't wait to see his debut in the movie.  This was one of the most anticipated movies this year, and I can say that all the anticipation and excitement was well worth the wait.

Steve Rodgers has been trying to figure out who he is and how he fits
in with the World.  He is having a hard time making an adjustment how the world is today and he spends much of the movie trying to figure out where he fits in during a period of time that he is not used to.   But of course all while he is kicking some ass along the way. Right off the bat the Captain meets Falcon and becomes friends with him, and this ends up being one of the only people he trusts.    The first mission ends in a confrontation when Nick Fury gives Natasha (Black Widow) orders that don't follow the mission.   Of course, Black Widow and the Captain complete the mission but Black Widows orders puts them in some danger and the hostages that were being rescued.  Shortly after Nick Fury was crashed into by several police cars and chased and shot at for several miles.  He made an escape in the end, but not without injury.  He ended up at Captain's apartment and was severely wounded.  He handed the Captain the flash drive with the info that Black Widow got, and told him not to trust anyone.  Fury was taken to the Hospital and pronounced dead on the operating table.  Captain and Black Widow were of course furious and all they could think to do was to take down the people who killed Fury.  Then Captain finds out that Fury might have been working with the enemy.  The Captain followed Fury's orders and told no one and even tried to lie to Black Widow but she didn't buy it much.  Most of the movie continues on with trying to uncover who can be trusted and who can't.  Was it Fury who was working with the enemy or was he being set up by the new S.H.I.E.L.D. directors?  

Overall it was a great movie.   I would give this movie a 9 out of 10.  My only complaint would be that The Winter Soldier didn't follow the story in the comics and that was my most anticipated part of the whole movie.  My only other complaint would be that Furys death was a little too similar to Coulsons and easy to predict.  I knew from the moment he got hurt he was not only going to die but they would fake his death.   But don't let that throw you off I still loved this flick and would see it again several times.  One thing that was great to see in this movie was the close bond that Black Widow, Nick Fury, and Captain America grew.   Maybe it was the close call with furys death.  But I loved the relationship they grew.  It was great to also see Falcon and see him in action, and the close and trusting relationship that he and Captain grew.  Both men kicked some major butt the whole movie and I was pleased with the way they made Falcon's character. The thing I loved the most about this movie was not only getting to see The Winter Soldier in action, but also the non-stop action.  I was very pleased with the non-stop action scenes and the fact that this movie was almost three hours long and felt like it was only an hour.  This movie had no slow points, and I would say it was one of Marvel's best movies yet.  If this is the future of Marvel movies then I will say we are in for years of great movies.  One thing I always find interesting about the movie vs the comics is how much their real names are used.  Natasha was never referred once as Black Widow, and Captain was mostly called Steve most of the movie. Falcon was also never really addressed as his superhero name. And remember the #1 rule with Marvel movies is stay until the credits are over.  The theatre I was in about 70% of the people left before the credits were over, and they missed a great sneak peak and cast revelations for the next movie.  Make sure you stay until the credits are over if you haven't seen the movie yet.  After this I am even more pumped for more Marvel movies, and of course the next Captain America.

The Walking Dead: Recap and Review of Season Finale

Last Sunday we all engaged in watching the Season Finale of one of our favorite shows to this date, The Walking Dead.  This season, this show has gotten more intense and compelling than ever before and this episode was the perfect way to end the season.  Here is a recap of the show this week, and my thoughts on the episode.  And as always, I have included some of my favorite zombie books to give everyone their zombie fill until next October. 




The episode starts with Rick having several flashbacks, most of them of the prison and the some what

happy times.  After the first flashback it shows Rick beaten up by a truck, and then later approaching the truck after escaping a run in with the zombies.  They made a camp there, and the first thing I can think is "this can't be good since it shows Rick beaten up in front of this truck before the episode."  Rick and Michonne have a lot of conversations then all of a sudden the men with Daryl show up and each one of them has a man with a gun pointed towards their head.   They have a bone to pick with Rick for killing their friend.  They wanted to kill him and Michonne since Rick killed their friend.  Then one of the men appeared to have been turning Karl over to rape him.  Rick then lost it and beat the head guy who had him in a hold then bit a chunk out of his neck like he was a zombie.  Michonne then busts out her normal bad ass moves and kills off half of them and Daryl killed the rest.  At the end Rick absolutely hacked the guy to pieces that was getting ready to rape Karl.  After that Rick had some more flashbacks and mostly of Hershel giving him Karl and how to raise him in the apocalypse.  Then Rick and Daryl had some great conversations, both bloody and sitting by the truck.  There were some pretty compelling moments with Rick and Daryl.  One moment where even Daryl (who is usually very reserved) even opened up to Rick.  Daryl first explained to Rick what he was doing with those men, and then also explained his fear of them and not knowing what he was capable of.  Daryl knew they were looking for the man who killed their friend, but didn't know it was Rick until last minute.  Daryl felt guilty for agreeing to tag along with these men, and felt he took part in having Rick and the rest of them in danger.  One of the greatest parts in this moment was when Rick called Daryl his brother.  They both were helping each other get through everything that had happened and it was a great family moment.  After this we see another great family moment when we see Carl dealing with some emotional issues with everything that had just happened.  Michonne as usual, gets Carl out of his funk and makes him believe that he can trust her and his dad at the very least.  She continues to tell him about her past and the apocalypse starting (as she started doing the past few episodes), which is something she didn't even talk to Andrea about.  Michonne and Carl have developed a great family love, they trust each other with their deepest and darkest secrets.  And we see another great brotherly/sisterly moment with Carl and Michonne.  Rick and the rest then approach one moment we have been waiting for several episodes, and that's entering Terminus.  Seemed all fine and dandy until they walked in and saw the rest of their friends belongings on people at the camp.  Right away, Rick and the rest of the group knew something was not right.  Things seemed great when they walked in but then as soon as they saw their other loved ones things they knew Terminus was not what they had hoped it to be.  Then the people at Terminus shoot bullets to chase Carl, Daryl, Michonne, and Rick into a trailer.  The shooters could have easily hit them but it was clear that they were trying to chase them into a trailer.  And who is waiting for them locked away in that trailer?  Maggie, Glenn, and of course their new friends that helped Glenn and Maggie find each other.  The group is back together and they are ready to fight like hell to get themselves out of Terminus alive.    It looks like Rick is ready to lead this group again and fight like crazy to get out of the crazy camp that they just entered.  I know that now most of them are back together, the people at Terminus better be ready to put up one hell of a fight. 

Overall, it was a great finale, and just like most episodes I rate this episode a 10 out of 10. Even though it took up some extra time I was happy to see the flashbacks with Hershel, and to see his wise words again that affected the group so much and helped them grow as a family.  Although anyone coming close to getting raped was not a great moment, I was glad the show touched base on it.  One of the most compelling parts of the whole episode is when Rick has the flashbacks with Hershel.  It shows that not only the great moments we had with Hershel, but also showing that no matter what is going on in your life you have to fight back and move on for the things you care about.  The advice he gives to Rick about Carl was one of m favorite Rick and Hershel episodes and I think it was a very important aspect of Rick accepting the things that happened and moving on for Carl's sake.   The moment that Rick lost it (and finally snapped out of it), could not have been more perfect.  Not only did we get to see Rick go walker style on someone, but finally Rick and snapped out of it and started fighting back like he should.  It may have been a combination of the men trying to hurt his family and friends and also the flashbacks of all of Hershel's wise words of advice.  As always, it was great to see the classic Michonne bust out and go crazy on everyone.  It was also great to see one of our favorite men of the show kick some ass, Daryl Dixon.  The finale was packed with tons of action, and so compelling as The Walking Dead always is.  One thing I love about this show is showing people that no matter what is going on in your life, you just have to pick up the pieces and move on.  There are so many lessons to learn from this show and that's what makes it more amazing and compelling than other shows out there.  I can't wait to see what the writers of the show have in store for us in the fall, and to see what turmoil the group will face next. 



Usually we would include a preview for next week, but for now we are at a halt until next fall.  We will still be doing tons of Walking Dead comic book reviews to fill all of our Walking Dead cravings in the meantime.  We will include news updates with any trailers are released next fall, and also an all season review, just as we did last year.  For now we are left craving one of our favorite shows until fall.

Geek Movie News: Preview for Lucy

Scarlett Johansson has been all across the movie scene lately and has been our favorite characters in many movies.  From Black Widow to doing voices in Robot Chicken she has always been one of my personal favorites.  Her newest film that is due to be out in August, Lucy looks like it will be just as great as any of her other movies.  This new Sci-Fi flick is one that I don't think you will be disappointed with.  It looks like as always, she is back to kick some major butt and this film not only looks like a great Sci Fi Flick, but it also looks like a great movie packed with action.  Her character is faced with some very dark complications, but it looks like she is not ready to go down without a fight.  Check out the trailer and let us know what you think.

The Walking Dead: Recap and Review Episode 414 The Grove

Lastnights episode of The Walking Dead was the darkest episode of anything I have seen on television.  It was emotional and just when you think it can't get any more crazy, the show just takes you further and further into darkness.   One thing I love about this show is they always have something gut wrenching and mind blowing in store for us and this week the writers gave us just that and much more.  This weeks episode was not only dark, but also just as compelling as any episode of The Walking Dead.

The episode starts with a very far glance at what looks like a child playing with a zombie.  When this

was happening I was thinking to myself it was Lizzie but then thought "no way maybe she's not playing and she's runnning".  Then the episode proceeds with Carol and Lizzie talking, and they discuss several things like Sophia and Lizzies weird obsession with the zombies.  Then in the morning Carol and Lizzie get some kind of medicine out of a tree for the cut on Tyreese's arm.  Tyreese and Carol have a discussion about the girls and Lizzie's weird obsession with the zombies and not being able to see them for what they are.  Carol also talks about her concern for Mika's inability to hurt anything, even when her life is at risk.  We see Lizzie's struggle more and more as the episode goes on and we see how she gets more and more disturbed when zombies are killed.  Tyreese wants to kill a zombie, and Lizzie stops him and says that he didn't need to kill it.  Meanwhile, Carol is talking to Mika about killing people or zombies when she needs to.  Carol is very concerned that Mika cannot defend herself, even when her life is at risk.  Mika and Carol then find a house, and Mika says a very important thing that her mom said that really applies to the entire show and that was "everything works out exactly how its suppose to.  After this, the episode starts to pick up and get beyond disturbing and gut wrenching.  First starting with Mika having to shoot a zombie inches from baby Judith because Lizzie would not run from the zombie.  Then we see the part where Lizzie is playing tag with the zombie as I suspected in the beginning.  Carol sees Lizzie playing with the zombie from the window and then goes outside to save her and kills the zombie.  Of course, Lizzie freaks out again like Carol has killed her best friend.  Carol and Tyreese then decide that they are not going to Terminus and that they are going to stay behind and live at the house, at least for the time being.  Lizzie then decides to feed the zombie that Tyreese did not kill down at the train tracks and starts talking about getting changed.  Then a herd of zombies comes, and Mika talks her into running.  Carol, Tyreese, and the girls do a pretty good job of taking out the small herd of zombies.  The next day Carol and Tyreese are talking about their final decision to stay at the house and not go through to Terminus.  When they come back Lizzie has crossed the ultimate thresh hold of crazy and stabs her sister to change her into a zombie.  Then Lizzie proceeds to talk about killing Judith as well to turn her into a zombie.   After this, Carol talks her out of harming Judith and to give her the gun that she was pointing at Carol and Tyreese.  She talks Lizzie into going with Tyreese and

promises Lizzie that she will not try and revive Mika.  It was too late for Mika, and Carol knew it so she couldn't really try and save her.  Think that's crazy?  Well it gets even more gut wrenching than a little girl stabbing her own sister, and talking about stabbing a baby as well.  Carol and Tyreese are absolutely lost for words, and they don't know what to do.  The only thing they do know is that Lizzie cannot be around the baby, and that the ultimate goal is to keep the baby safe no matter what.  But Carol also knew that Tyreese would not be able to survive alone since he needed a few kids to save his life.  Regardless they knew that Lizzie could not stay with them.  Tyreese also tells Carol that Lizzie was the one feeding the zombies at the prison, and that he thinks Lizzie might have killed Karen and David.  Carol tells Tyreese that this is impossible because Lizzie would have waited for them to turn.  Carol then takes Lizzie for a walk and Lizzie is begging Carol to forgive her and asking her if she is mad at her.  Carol tells Lizzie to look at the flowers and then raises her gun and shoots Lizzie in the head.  Then back at the house Carol tells Tyreese that she was the one who killed Karen and David and that he could "do what he needed to do".  Tyreese was upset, but told Carol that he would forgive her, but not forget.  Carol and Tyreese then decide after the events that happened at the house that they could not stay there.  Too many bad things had happened and it was time to move on, and the place to move onto was Terminus where most of the rest of the group had decided to move towards.  


 

Overall I give this episode a 10 out of 10. This episode was gut wrenching in every way and had us

all by surprise.   Just when we thought the episode wasn't going to get any more dark it just keeps going.  The writers of The Walking Dead just took television horror to a whole new level, and we have seen the darkest horror that may have ever crossed television.  The Walking Dead has delivered us another amazing episode leaving us wanting more.  Just when we think the show has covered every possible aspect of grief during the zombie apocalypse they deliver us something more gut wrenching and dark than any show has before.  Not only did the writers do a phenomenal job with this episode, but the actors did such an amazing job as well.  Melissa McBride (Carol) did an incredible job with going through every possible emotion that Carol could have been feeling and was absolutely flawless. (Tyreese) also did an amazing job, and also expressed every emotion perfectly with Tyreese going through so much with the kids as well as finding out that Karen killed David.  Although the girls did an excellent job throughout the show I think it was time for their exit, and was glad the show followed right along with the comic.  As horrible as both of the girls deaths were it was still an amazing episode. The cast and crew could not have done a better job with this episode and I cannot wait for more next week and to see how this show will proceed throughout the next two episodes.

 

Every week I like to include the sneak peek for next weeks show.  Here it is and stay tuned for next weeks review.

There are only two episodes left of The Walking Dead and the show is only on for one hour every week.  I love getting my horror and zombie fix more than once per week, and by doing that I love reading some excellent zombie books.  Lately I have been enjoying the Walking Dead novel series.  It is such a great series and ties in with the comic and show so well.  It goes into some great character depth and I love it just as much as I read the comic book series.  If you are looking for another great zombie comic with more humor than I would suggest Dan Conner's, My Gal the Zombie.  Its a great comic with no gore, but some great humor and art.  The thing I love about My Gal, the Zombie is the great diversity that the book takes you through.  Another great zombie book that is a little more on the horror side is Brian Parker's, GNASH.  This is a great novel that I have been enjoying and its a great book.  Brian also has a children's zombie book that your little ones may enjoy.  Get caught up on some great reading material while The Walking Dead is not on TV, unfortunately the season is about to come to an end.

Event: Denver Comic Con Guest announcement #8

In the past week Denver Comic Con has announced more incredible guests, and if you haven't gotten your tickets already then you won't be able to resist after more amazing guests have been added to next years event.  There will also be a 2oth anniversary celebration that I cannot wait for.

Several days ago after we learned about the incredible Batman lineup for next year there was also another incredible Batman artist released the next day.  Tim Sale was added to the guest list to this years event.  If you are not familiar with his work he has made some amazing contributions to:  Tim Sale is the Eisner Award-winning artist of:  Batman: Dark Victory, Batman: Haunted Knight, Batman: The Long Halloween, Catwoman: When in Rome, Superman: Kryptonite, Solo, and is also featured in the NBC hit television series, Heros.  Tim has also contributed his talents to many comic book series, and is a personal favorite of mine.  I cannot wait to see Tim at next years event and could not be more excited about such an amazing and talented artist being added to this years event.  Patrick Gleason is also another talented DC Comics and Batman artist that was added to this years event.   There are so many amazing Batman icons coming to Denver Comic Con this year, and I cannot wait.







The next guest announced was Gigi Edgely, and you may recognize her the most from the Sci-Fi series, Farscape.  At the moment Gigi is working on Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge.  Following the next day another actor was announced for this years event, and that actor is Karl Urban.   You most likely know him in the following: Judge Dredd, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Xena: Warrior Princess.  Both are excellent actors and I cannot wait to see them both at this years event. 







The same day there was also another talented comic book icon announced that is one of my personal favorites.  John Layman was also added to this years guest list, and you most likely know him for creating, penciling, and lettering the series CHEW from Image Comics.  There is a lot of amazing comic book talent that was added to this years events, and John Layman is another added bonus.  I can't wait to see him and get some of my books signed by him at Denver Comic Con this year.  Another amazing comic book writer was announced the same day, and he is also a personal favorite of mine and another amazing writer who has worked on Batman and many other titles.   His work includes but is not limited to:  Adventure Time, Adventures of Superman, Batman: Arkham Unhinged, Batman: Lil' Gotham, Detective Comics Villains Month: Poison Ivy,  Streets of Gotham, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the New Animated Series.  It will be great to meet such an amazing writer with work that we have all grown to love recently, and over the years.  

The guest announcement that I found to be most exciting this week was Denver Comic Con's announcement that they would be celebrating the Gargoyle's 20th anniversary this year by featuring programming of Gargoyle's and Bioware's game, Mass Effect.  There are have also been some amazing guests added to this years event to celebrate the 20th anniversary.  The guests joining us are actors Salli Richardson-Whitfield and Thom Adcox-Hernandez from Gargoyles and series creator Greg Weisman.   I had the pleasure in meeting Weisman at last years event and his panels and meeting him was amazing.  I am a huge fan of all of Weisman's work and stoked that he is returning again this year. To feature Mass Effect the event will also have a session with Kimberly Brooks, Mark Meer, and Raphael Sbarge.  You may also know Raphael from once upon a time and he also started acting in Seseme Street at the young age of five. Director of Denver Comic Con Dr. Chris Angel stated: “When we’re booking guests for DCC we try to provide a little something for every attendee,” said Dr. Christina Angel, DCC director. “Getting the ‘Gargoyles’ group together for the 20th anniversary and so many of the people behind Mass Effect provides synergy to the sessions we’re providing. What’s more, we’re always looking to add to these synergies—stay tuned for more ‘Gargoyles’ and Mass Effect announcements in the coming weeks, as well as other exciting plans still in the works.”   There will also be more guests announced to help celebrate this exciting celebration at the con. 
 

Denver Comic Con not only holds one of the best cons in the nation, but there are also some great benefits when you attend.  The main benefit in going to Denver Comic Con is the proceeds go to
Comic Book Classroom, a literacy program for kids.  Not only will you be attending one of the best cons in the nation, but you will also be contributing to what matters the most, our kids and future kids.  Comic Book Classroom has excellent panels and activities throughout the con, and we felt like all 4 of our tickets were easily paid for in the activities the kids participated in.  If you have kids, not only will they have a great time seeing some of their favorite celebrities, but they also get the enjoyment of participating in so many kids activities.  There are even several panels for the kiddos on how to make their own comics, and they also will get the fun joy in making comics of their own.  Even if you don't have kids, you have the excitement of attending one of the best cons in the nation and also getting the joy of contributing to little ones while you are doing it.  Comic Book Classroom arranges excellent after school programs at various schools across the state to help kids learn how to read, write, and write their own comics.  For more information on Comic Book Classroom please be sure to visit their website and Facebook page.  They also have excellent pamphlets you can print from DCC's website.  Please come and join us for all the excitement at Denver Comic Con next year and contribute to children just by attending
