Ghost Rider! The underdog of 2012!

 "Blaze as he rides into no box office numbers"

Let me Rant a Bit  
Let me get this out of the way 1st. I love Punisher Warzone its violently beautiful and exactly what Punisher needs to be. I also was one of the few people who on every X-Men First Class article was bashed and called various things due to being the only one to say "X-Men will blow you all away and top every CBM in 2011" I was also more hated when I bashed what many called "The Star Wars of comic Book Films"aka Green Lantern, everyone would just ignore any argument. WELL 2011 is on its way out and what sucked and what was amazing?


Now why did I say all that? To show you that its NOT just what's shown to us that goes into my decision and what u chose to love but many factors. please let me Explain


Compare and Contrast 

GL Can construct Anything Green Besides Money at the box office!

X-Men FC announced the return of Singer and also the man behind Kick Ass, to top it off they also announced a great cast and in every interview and showing knew exactly what they were saying. First Trailer is shown days after Super-bowl and everyone is all over how amazing it looks. Not to mention the 1st Pictures and Video Clips consisted of shots that looked good.




Green Lantern announces a director that not even the dumbest of fanboys were saying was good, then they announce the head actor and unless you ride the Ryan Rynalds is god blow train you automatically saw what was wrong with this choice. and to top it off Clips were shown and said to be "early" and ended up looking the same and fake.

Now what were the scores of each film on average?

 X-MEN First Class - 8.7/10
 Green Lantern - 2.6/10


Getting to the Point. Soon...

Finally here I go to Ghost Rider, we all know that Batman TDKR will be huge, we all know Avengers and Spider-man will be huge but almost no one is talking about Ghost Rider 2 e'er Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance, Sequel? Prequel? Requel like Incredible Hulk was? I don't care all I know is that this film will be great! HOW SO YOU ASK?

Nick Cage over acting?

Let me Start with the Actors, Yes we all know Nick Cage is not what he once was but he is still one of the best actors around and as bad at some moments were in the 1st film was he was good in what was given to him at the time. which brings me to part 2! the Directors Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor, the minds behind the amazing Crank 1 & 2 films, these guys are not just Directors they are stunt men and know how to direct a scene filled with Action which is what Ghost Rider needs if he is to be as he is in the comics, a BADASS. When i sat in on their NYCC 2011 Ghost Rider Panel you could tell that they are making this with  passion and heart, they spoke about the Character and how he should be shown off and what he is. At which point they showed us a Brand new Trailer which makes the one released to the public look like a joke.


Boom goes the Dynamite! 

So why am i writing this Article? Because i am sick of seeing this movie ignored by everyone, like i said we all know what will be huge next year but this is the movie that we NEED to be good and make good money to give us more. Punisher Warzone was EXACTLY what a Punisher film needs to be no BS emotion just Frank being a Killer and that film was as close to real Punisher and MAX comics as we will ever get. Ghost Rider SOV looks like it will follow in its footsteps and be a great film for Comic book fans but will fail in the money department if it keeps going under the radar and i for one do not want that. Tom Jane Bandwagon idiots GTFO no one likes your emo Punisher go cut your writs and diem but before you do that actually reed a comic book to be considered a comic book fan nut just watch the films and be a fake one.

He Pisses Flames! What more do you need?

Ultimate Comics Spider-man Re-cap/Review

Story
Eleven months before the death of Peter Parker, Norman Osborn re-creates the original spider that bit peter but it gets stolen by ultimate Prowler. Meanwhile, the series new protagonist Miles Morales, goes to a charter school lottery with his mom and dad in which miles wins. Later, Miles gets bitten by the spider that was stolen from Oscorp, when visiting his uncle Aaron(who we assume is the ultimate prowler), so now Miles has to become the new spider-man and learn about great power and responsibility.

Main Cast
Miles Morales: Miles is a kind-hearted, timid and reluctant hero. When he first discovers his powers, he doesn't want them because he thinks he's a mutant and he also just wants to live a normal life. I love this character for multiple reasons but one of them are the main reason and this reason being that when he won the charter school lottery, he saw all the disappointed faces of the other kids and said he wanted to earn his way into the school, not get accepted by chance, that to me shows how great Miles is as a character. He also has powers that peter never had like blending into his environment(Invisibility) and a Spider Sting.

Supporting Cast
Ganke: Miles' best and only friend, this character acts as comic relief but not the typical annoying sidekick type, his comedy actually works perfectly...so far. At times he even serves as the voice of reason or mentor to miles, for example, Ganke actually proved that miles wasn't a mutant(albeit using a news source but it worked) and he also encouraged Miles to use his powers to save people from a burning building.
Miles' Dad: Miles has a good and very much realistic relationship with his father. He is very loving and supportive person, someone that miles looks up to. He doesn't want Miles to hang around uncle Aaron because he believes aaron to be a bad influence and he's right since he knows for a fact that Aaron is a criminal(as young men, they both committed crimes together, something that miles' dad isn't very proud of).
Miles' Mom: Supportive. Not much on her to be honest.
Uncle Aaron: Despite being a criminal, he is a very cool guy and hell he even looks like snoop dogg for some odd reason.

Villians
Kangaroo: Appeared in Ultimate fallout #4

Art
IT'S F**KING BEAUTIFUL. Ok, in all seriousness, the art perfectly conveys each character's emotions and can even let the reader know what's going on and what a character is thinking although there is no dialogue to read.

Read/Need/Pass 
Definitely pick up the first three issues of this series since the fourth issue isn't out yet but overall I would give this series a 9.5/10. This is definitely the best spider-man series I have read in a long time and writer Brian Bendis knows the character very well, so find this, buy this and possibly have sex with it because you know I do.

Wait just one god damn second! Captain is worthy?

Remember when Thor was cool cuz of his hammer and how its iconic? Remember when Hulk took it and everyone was talking about it? yeah those were the times. Then Fear Itself finishes up and i pull out the Picard Facepalm. Yeah ok i will give Marvel that Fear Itself is a better event then Flashpoint was, yeah not hard to be better then i know. but The recent events really have me going wtf? 

If yout not up to date Captain America is now "worthy" and was able to wield Thors iconic hammer "Mjolnir" WHY? I get it. its icnic and people will argue that its because he is worthy, how is he any more worthy then the rest of the fearless people who fought alongside him?

And lets just mention that Thor died and thats how it was handled. exactly how i said it a throw away. So Thor is dead and no one cares Cap is worthy yet no one else is? And the mystery of who can wield the hammer is now just a throw out moment in the comics. Disapointing to say the least.
