A Great Read #8: Previews Review Edition - Previews Issue 246 - PART 1
Mar 2, 2009 A Great Read, Comics
The new issue of Previews was released this past Wednesday so that means it is time to dive in to see what looks exciting!
I encourage you to get a copy of the new Previews catalog if you don’t already have one so you can follow along with this entry. It’s certainly not required, but it will help out a bit. The catalog is pretty thick, so this entry will be done in 2 parts to ensure that as many items can be covered as possible.

Trivia Time #5: Image Comics - The Early Years
Feb 14, 2009 Comics, Trivia Time
My mind has been thinking back to those early Image days during the 90’s ever since the announcement of a Youngblood movie earlier this week. So I decided to create a Trivia Time based on the exploits of superstar creators Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri, Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, Erik Larsen, Whilce Portacio and Jim Valentino when they decided to leave Marvel and strike out on their own to create a comic company. That company turned out to be Image Comics; a publisher still pumping out solid books today.
There will be 10 questions in total. I will post the answers to these questions on the Trivia Answers page. No peeking until AFTER you have taken the quiz!
Continue on to take the quiz and be sure to keep score and find out how you did when you finish. Each question is worth one point unless otherwise noted.

Rob Liefeld and Brett Ratner’s Youngblood Movie - What Say You?
Feb 11, 2009 Comics
As detailed in yesterday’s entry, Rob Liefeld and Brett Ratner plan to unleash a Youngblood film on the moving going public in 2010. This sparked a spirited debate on Newsarama’s message board between fans and Liefeld that has continued over the last couple of days. Everyone seems to have an opinion on Liefeld, so I have put together a Poll to gather everyone’s thoughts on the matter.
What do you think of the impending Youngblood motion picture? Will you be lining up for tickets on opening night, waiting for DVD or skipping it all together?
Continue on to add your opinion via the Poll.

Youngblood Movie Announced!!! Rob Liefeld and Brett Ratner Eye 2010 Release
Read the rest of this entry »
A new Shaft will potentially be hitting the big screen in 2010. Newsarama.com broke the news that Rob Liefeld’s creator owned Youngblood comic book series has been optioned by Brett Ratner to be made into a major motion picture. This announcement has definitely polarized some comic fans as the typical Liefeld bashing has already begun in the comments section under the recently posted article at Newsarama. Thankfully, there are Liefeld fans lending their support to help even out the discussion. Liefeld himself has actually replied to a few users comments with solid responses that don’t resort to name calling or flat out speculation. In fact, he has answered both his fans and critics with the same enthusiasm he applies to his work. Liefeld’s enthusiastic art is “fun” and I hope this movie will follow suit.
