Month: October 2022

just like whatever associated to the Zack Snyder-led DC prolonged world of movies Superman as depicted by Henry Cavill seems to be controversial. A hashtag in support of the actor’s turn in the iconic blue tights trended on Twitter this weekend, after TNT drama sent a tweet that got a great deal of response. The reaction, however, seems to have ruffled some feathers as well as the tweet is now gone from their timeline. Yet, it was up long sufficient for fans of the Henry Cavill version of Superman to get the topic trending on the social network platform. almost all of the tweets in the top results extoll the virtue of the latest handle the characters. Yet, not everybody was pleased.

Some fans didn’t such as this version of the character, since he was not as much of a boy scout as he’d been in the past. instead of being greeted with open arms by his embraced country, America reacted to Superman with fear as well as anger. (As did Ben Affleck’s Batman!) Still, the tweet was sufficient for fans to demand Henry Cavill return as Superman in DC films. worth noting, this wasn’t the only tweet about this Superman as well as his black suit.

Since Comic-Con in 2019, we understand that Henry Cavill is thinking about playing Superman again. In fact, reports broke in may that he was in negotiations to return to the function however in a supporting function in other heroes’ films. Yet, in July, (when he last spoke about it) he seemed to reject the rumor that any type of active negotiations were happening. Yet, with Michael Keaton back as Batman as well as the exploration of the multiverse, it seems like actually anything is possible.

Currently, Henry Cavill is wrapped up in shooting season 2 of The Witcher.

What do you think? Do you want Henry Cavill to return as Superman? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

UPDATE: A practical visitor informed us that the hashtag was really started, like almost whatever with the DCEU, by fans.

by Wayne Markley

I love westerns and I have no idea why. I can spend an entire day watching TV westerns from the ‘50s and ‘60s, and to be honest, very few of them are good. They are all very formulaic. Yet I still watch them for hours on end. I have the same issue with comics, but fortunately (?) there are far fewer western comics than there are TV westerns. and on the other hand, the comic book westerns are excellent, at least the ones I am going to discuss here. There are two new graphic albums that came out recently I really enjoyed even though one is based (a sequel really) on a movie and the other is a reprint of a comics from the1970s. Plus, I have thrown in a couple of recommendations of books you may have to make an effort to find.

Rawhide kid #26

In the 1950s there were all sorts of western comics. DC had a number of titles including All star Western and All American Western. I would love to see DC reprint these books as they are filled with great art by Alex Toth, Gil Kane, Carmine Infantino and many others. marvel had the Rawhide kid (with lots of Kirby art in the early issues) as well as Two-Gun kid and, in the ‘70s, the Mighty marvel Western. There also all sorts of books from other publishers, most notably The Ghost Rider from magazine Enterprises. This was the western Ghost Rider, long before Johnny Blaze got a flaming skull and rode a motorcycle. plus there were tons of comics based on TV Cowboys, such as Roy Rogers, Tom Mix, Annie Oakley, Dale Evans, Jimmy Wakely, etc. Again, these were published by a number of different publishers, (Mainly DC) and featured art by Alex Toth and John Buscema among many others. By the early ‘70s, there were not many left. DC had All star Western (a revival of the ‘50s title) which introduced Jonah Hex, one of my all time favorite comics, and marvel still had their two western reprint anthologies and a few ongoing titles. over the years there have been a variety of westers comics, some revivals like the interesting Joe Lansdale/Tim Truman Jonah Hex series, Alejandro Jordorwsky’s Bouncer (which is excellent), and Marvel’s revamped Rawhide Kid-Slap leather that came out in 2010, and was better un-revived.

The Sons of El Topo Vol. 1: Cain

Speaking of Alejandro Jordorwsky, who happens to be one of my favorite writers, he just had the first volume of his graphic novel series, The Sons of El Topo Vol. 1: Cain come out from BOOM! Studios. This is a full color hardcover book which is a sequel to his 1970 film called El Topo. This story was originally written as a sequel to this cult classic which is sort of a magical surreal western (it has to be seen as no description would do it justice), but for some reason no one wanted to finance the sequel, so Jordorwsky made it into a graphic novel instead. He got the remarkable Jose Landronn to draw it. This first volume is mostly set up as it introduces and explains who El Topo’s two sons are and their life stories. As the title suggests, the story revolves around two brothers, one who is attempting to kill the other, and from there the story just gets weird. If you are a fan of the film or of Alejandro Jordorwsky’s work in general, then you will love this book. If you like beautiful art, then this book is for you. If you are looking for something different from the traditional superhero fare, then this is it! If you just like non-traditional westerns, then you will love this. (I would highly recommend this book for fans of Joe Lansdale & Timothy Truman’s Jonah Hex: shadows West trade collection).

El Mestizo

Then we have El Mestizo by writer Alan Hebden and drawn by the late, but great, Carlos Ezquerra. This was a western strip that appeared in the pages of battle magazine in England in the late 1970s. This story was so different than the typical fare in battle (war stories) that this strip did not last that long, so Rebellion was able to collect the entire run into one very nice hardcover. The story is set in 1862. El Mestizo is a former slave from Alabama who escapes and flees to Mexico during the American Civil War. While in Mexico, he sharpens his mercenary skills until he is famed gunsmith. He returns to the united states with a strong sense of right and wrong. From there he finds himself work for both the South and the North, with neither side realizing it, as he is really just fighting for what he thinks is right. He is armed with his guns and his bolo. as with most British comics, these stories run 3-4 pages long, which is to the benefit of this strip as if forces the action (and there is a lot, almost every panel) and the story to move at a breakneck pace. I really enjoyed this story and I thought it took enough twists and turns with El Mestizo’s constant double dealings that it is a real page turner. As always, Ezquerra’s art is beautiful and Hebdon’s stories were a pleasant surprise. This is by far the most traditional western in this blog, along with the early Jonah Hex run, and it is a rip roaring fun story that I am sure beau Smith would enjoy, being the western buff he is. Well worth going out of your way to read. My only regret is the story didn’t go on longer as it seemed as if there were many more stories that could have been told.

Jonah Hex: shadows West TPB

Jonah Hex had a long and prosperous run starting in 1972. He first appeared in All star Western #10 by John Albano and Tony DeZuniga. The title was changed to weird Western Tales with issue #12 and Jonah was the lead feature through issue #37. Jonah’s most famous writer started with issue #22 and his name was Michael Fleisher. Fleisher would write Jonah for the rest of his run in weird Western Tales and through his own titles run of 92 issues and the ten issues of a series called Hex where he lands up in the future. To me, the All star Western/Weird Western and Jonah Hex runs are the pinnacle of western comics. Unlike the comics of the ‘50s, these were tales of drama and violence. Jonah was a bounty hunter and as his back story was slowly revealed, he became more and more human. He is never a traditional hero, and he is very much in the vein of the classic spaghetti Western heroes, namely Clint Eastwood in the film The man with no Name; a killer with his own moral code. Jonah Hex was easily the most violent book DC published at the time, and perhaps ever, and I would argue it was only rivaled by Fleisher’s other tour de force of violence, the Spectre in the pages of adventure Comics. There was also a Jonah Hex Spectacular that came out in 1978 which to me is one of the greatest comic stories ever told by Michael Fleisher and Russ Heath telling the tale of how Jonah Hex died, and his legacy. These stories all told are an epic collection that deserves to be collected in a deluxe format. (Not that I am holding my breath for this to ever happen). Jonah also appeared in a series of miniseries by Joe Lansdale and Tim Truman and was most recently revived in a series written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin gray which ran 70 issues and was drawn by a variety of people and was quite good. It was replaced by a revival of All star Western that ran another 34 issues. While these were also good, I hated the direction the series landed up going in and I felt it was totally disrespectful to who the character was and undid so much of his history. There was also an original graphic novel by Tony DeZungia, Jonah Hex’s co-creator. almost all of the newer material and the Lansdale stories have been collected into trades. very little of the Fleisher material has been collected outside of two volumes of showcase which reprinted all of the original run of Jonah Hex from All-Star Western/Weird Western (1972 version) and the first 22 issues of his own book, Jonah Hex. Sadly, almost all, if not all, of these books are out of print.

Louis L’Amour’s law of the Desert Born

Louis L’Amour’s law of the Desert born graphic novel is adapted by Charles Santino and beautifully drawn by Thomas Yeates. This is a classic L’Amour story filled with vivid characters and non-stop excitement and is set in the wild west of new Mexico in 1887. I mention this book because it is such a beautiful book that slipped by most comic fans. It is available still from book sellers but no longer from comic stores. It is well worth going out of your way to find it. It is a 160 page hardcover that originally came out in 2013.

That wraps it up for this blog. Do any of you still read and enjoy western comics? Or western TV shows for the matter? have you read any of the books I have written about here today? If you have I would again like to hear your thoughts. I can be reached at Wayne Markley on Facebook or at MFBWAY@AOL.COM. all of this babbling has been my personal thoughts and opinions and do not reflect the opinions of Westfield Comics or their employees. So, as always…

Thank you.

DC Comics announced several new Superman series, including Superman: kid of Kal-El, Superman and the Authority, and Supergirl: woman of Tomorrow. along with the continuing action Comics, which is going in a new direction, Clark Kent’s corner of the DC looks like it will have a bit of an overhaul. maybe we can call this Dawn of S? So, What do we have to look forward to?

In DC Future state Week One, Superman put Metropolis in a jar. That Superman? Jonathan Kent, kid of Clark Kent – also known as Kal-El – the star of the new series. In fact, the world Tom Taylor and the other Superman writers are building brings us dangerously close to Future State. In limitless horizon #0, the Spectre alerted Diana that Jonathan need to never become Superman. Well, it’s happening. As DC Comics describes in their announcement:

Jonathan Kent has experienced a lot in his young life. He’s fought evil with Robin (Damian Wayne), traveled across galaxies with his Kryptonian grandfather, and lived in the future with the legion of Super-Heroes, who were intent on training him for the day his daddy could no longer be Superman. There is a hole in the Legion’s history that prevents Jon from knowing exactly when that will happen, but all signs point to it being very soon. It’s time for the kid to wear the cape of his daddy and continue the never-ending battle as a symbol of hope for his home planet.

This new series is the beginning of the rise and fall and rise again of Jonathan Kent, kid of Superman, regardless of which name you choose.

Supergirl might Not Be the kid of Superman, but She’s the star of a new series Too

next stop: ongoing series. (Image: Supergirl: woman of Tomorrow #2, DC Comics)

First of all, some fightin’ words. Kara Zor-El is the best Super-pronoun, man, boy, girl, woman, nonbinary, transgender, etc. She is the best. and though she’s not getting a new series as big as Superman: kid of Kal El, she is getting the “all-star” treatment. That’s how writer Tom King describes Supergirl: woman of Tomorrow. Also, the new series stars Krypto, pet dog of Superman, so who needs the kid anyway. check out the description:

Supergirl, Krypto, and their new pal Ruthye find themselves stranded with no way to pursue Krem, the murderous kingsagent. Each moment this fugitive roams free, the a lot more beings come dangerously close to dying by his hand. There is no time to lose, so our heroes need to now travel across the universe the old-fashioned way…by cosmic bus! little do they know their journey will be a dark one, filled with terrors that not even the housemaid of might is prepared to face!

Action Comics #1033 Brings a lot more crisis (No, Not that kind of Crisis) and a lot more Pages

Papa Kal looks angry. Did someone steal his Werther’s Originals? (Image: action Comics #1033, DC Comics)

The one corner of the Superman world not getting a new series? The forever-running action Comics. If you’re not too thrilled about the kid of Kal-El or don’t want to bother with a new series, action Comics still stars the tried and true Superman. However, we have even a lot more ties to Future State. So, if you took pleasure in Superman: Worlds of War, this is where you want to go next. Per DC’s announcement:

Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Daniel Sampere keep Superman on the front lines in his battle to aid a group of Warworld refugees in action Comics #1033, on sale Tuesday, July 27. This issue takes the action to Atlantis and the Fortress of Solitude, where Warworld refugees have taken possession of hazardous Warworld tech, bringing it to Aquaman’s undersea kingdom and risking an all-out war that even Superman may not be able to prevent. Meanwhile, some of the escaped Warworld prisoners have found the Fortress of Solitude…and along with it, Lois Lane!

Oh, but that’s not all! one of the other terrific parts of Worlds of War? The Midnighter/Mister miracle backup stories. So, of course, those are back!

And in this 40-page blockbuster’s second feature, Midnighter has gone deep into the Trojan compound and found a very unexpected guest whose path he crossed in Future State—none other than Shilo Norman, a.k.a. Mister Miracle!

Okay, now, the icing, sprinkles, and gooey center. The announcement that makes the new Superman series, kid or girl or Papa, look amateur…

Grant Morrison Is Returning for the new limited series Superman and the Authority

Coming soon: Tom cruise in Authority Report. (Image: Superman and the Authority #1, DC Comics)

You read that correctly. grant Morrison, author of All-Star Superman and the New52 action Comics.  Also, the designer of The Authority.The series didn’t do well when it came out but is terrific in trade. They’re bringing the two words together for the new limited series, Superman and the Authority, no kid needed.  Because, when it pertains to Warworld, there’s a lot more happening than even Superman can handle:

If Superman is to get to the bottom of what’s happening on Warworld, he’s going to need help, the kind of help that doesn’t yell “Justice League.”

…this new team will be led by Manchester Black, and combine original members Midnighter and Apollo with new members Enchantress and Natasha Irons, as well as new versions of Lightray and O.M.A.C. This new team will have to learn to work together, and fast, as the Ultra-Humanite has formed his own team of villains to take out the man of Steel.

So, which new series are you looking forward to most; Superman: kid of Kal-El, Supergirl: woman of Tomorrow, action Comics, or Superman and the Authority most? Actually, maybe I must ask, “Besides Superman and grant Morrison, which series are you looking forward to the most?”

But right here they seem to have produced something which provides a new meaning to a mad-genius. somebody who has a follow-up contingency plan to his contingency plan. somebody who has all the knowledge, skills, powers as well as stealth of Batman. as well as likewise has the no holds barred unpredictability of Joker.

Batman who Laughs might be one of the very best works in DC after a long time. Let’s dive deeper as well as see exactly how it unfolds.

HAPPIEST MEMORIES

From the very first line of the Batman who Laughs states “What is your happiest memory?” As a reader, you are required to believe about the happiest moment of your life. It is a flashback of Bruce’s youth as well as most likely his happiest moment. A unusual moment in the comic where you feel joyous as well as free as Bruce plays with his parents as well as Alfred. This opening is heartwarming however likewise unfortunate as well as heartbreaking since we understand what complied with these happy moments.

And this joy soon modifications to a high-speed chase, which turns extremely dark as well as sinister when Bruce discovers out the identity of the body smuggled by the grave-robbers. Both Alfred as well as Batman are shocked to discover that the body in the truck belongs to Bruce. later we discover out that this dead Bruce seems to have made different options at some point in his life.

Batman soon realizes that details of the body are designed to hurt him psychologically. It likewise adds a foreboding sense of dread since even before the Batman who Laughs enters the pages of the comic book, we have already established exactly how twisted he is.

THE BATMAN action BEGINS

The genuine act of this problem begins in the second half when a previously unknown as well as unseen evil Batman called the Grim Knight unleashes an assault on Arkham Asylum. when he starts gunning down Arkham’s staff, we recognize that this is a vicious character with some extremely horrible intentions. heavily armored, he breaks into the Asylum as well as soon torches Mister Freeze as well as seemingly kills Joker. That joker though is a decoy. The genuine one obviously conscious of the imminent catastrophe escaped a long time ago. We likewise get to checked out why Batman refuses to kill the Joker.

A few frames later the Joker returns as well as pulls off one more technique to bring a twisted prophecy into reality. The beauty of this specific comic is that even without completely introducing the villain, Snyder has put into movement a series of event which might have disastrous consequences. step by step this comic explores Batman’s inner demons as well as fears while still including a peaceful moment of introspection.

A visual TREAT

Even though the Batman who Laughs primarily works behind the scenes, when he does show up, he looks menacing as well as terrifying. contributing to the jarring feeling of reading this comic is the visual produced by Jock. As the action moves along in this comic, the drawing makes it really unnerving, particularly when you pause to believe about the mental element of it.

GOING FORWARD

Back to Snyder’s writing, frequently it feels like one is reading poetry. The wise as well as detective Batman is likewise a positive change, where he utilizes a disguise while he investigates the body. The banter between Alfred as well as Bruce is so refreshing since the rest of the comic is dark as well as moody. Going ahead my only hope is that the innovative team behind Batman who Laughs keeps the eerie tone going instead of considerable action. This is the type of stuff which makes you wait on the next edition as well as is gripping as well as intense.

In the end, I believe this story has a huge heart, great deals of action, its mental horror with a few drops of physical violence. It introduces a fairly less explored side of Batman. This is suggested for anyone who likes both mental as well as physical horror, for anyone who likes to navigate thedark alleys of the human mind. particularly if you desire to get into somebody else’s shoes as well as want to experience what they are feeling, then get BATMAN who LAUGHS #1.
