Woot! This is the first time after being caught up that I can post photos I just took! XD We got the second Earth-Prime issue featuring Superman & Lois characters. The Wonder Girl issue is the penultimate issue of the Trial of the Amazons event. MTG gave Liliana her own title. Hulk I think will introduce us to a new character or Hulk persona. The next issue of the Gwenverse title dropped. And finally, the new era of Captain America has begun (with another title dropping next week, May 4th I think focusing on Sam being Capt again)!!

This is the wraparound over for this issue. I always enjoys covers like this.

This is these two connecting covers for Wonder Girl connected.

This is another fantastic variant by Jenny Frison.

Spring 2022 late issues

These arrived a few weeks or days late (two months late for the DWM issue). This Punisher issue is the start of a new run where he’s apparently joined The Hand. The two variants are a Carnaged Jessica Drew and then a David Nakayama 90’s X-Men TAS variant for the X-Men 92′ House of XCII issue 1. And the Flashpoint: Batman Knight of Vengeance issue is a collected edition for reprints of the origin of the Flashpoint Batman in case people didn’t know prior to the new Flashpoint event that just started. And the DWM came with a double-sided poster! ^__^

Finally caught up to present day!!

I started typing out all of these on March 22nd and today is April 19th. Wow, it took exactly four weeks. Started on a Tuesday and ended on a Tuesday. 371 (this is 372) posts later and I’m caught up with all my comic photos and movie reviews/reactions from 2016 to 2022.

I intend to posts comic photos every other week and movie posts when I get to see a movie I enjoy (and those will be posted minutes after I return to my car in the parking lot after seeing whichever movie it is, or if it’s an online release, from my room.)

Next steps – I will keep thinking about topic posts I want to type up and I will now continue to add to my comic panel Instagram so any of the comics I reference as having posts (in some of my comic photo posts on here) on said IG account, will actually be there.

I’m glad I could actually catch up after all this. Thank you for reading some of my content and I hope you enjoy whatever I have to come.

And if this is the first post you see, sorry, I can’t figure out how to create the function to toggle the organize by date. So, unfortunately, you’ll have to scroll down on each post section once you click the section title in the drop-down menu above. If anyone knows how I can do that, let me know! XD Also, my first post is in the Milestone/Important posts section, so you can just go it from there instead of scrolling down forever.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)

On By TheDanielWhoWritesIn Movie Reactions/ReviewsLeave a comment

April 14, 2022 – Back to the wizarding world we went!

I enjoyed Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore a lot. It was, as always, wonderful to return to this world of magic and fantasy.

The plot was clear and not overly complicated, we jump into things right away and everything flows well. There were still twists and turns but it was nice to not have anything too over the top.

All the acting was brilliant of course, new and old characters alike. And of course the creatures introduced and seen were wonderful too. The music was beautiful as one would expect with these movies.

We have two movies left of this story, and considering one thing that happened at the end, things can ramp up now. I certainly have high expectations for movie five when we get it eventually.

There were aspects of the HP books that were touched upon in this and I liked seeing those threads connect. Though I’ll be interested to see if that continues with the last two films.

The action was great, there’s always some new little bit of magic we’ve not seen yet that just brings joy. It’s just such a fun world. I’ll always love it.

I know Ezra Miller has been having some bad press recently along with the past year or so, we’ll just have to see what comes of it. He’s not been making great choices.

I would certainly say that this made me miss seeing the wizarding world more often like before, I wouldn’t say no to WB making a series out of something. But, with everything that continues to go on with Rowling’s backward views, I think WB is just trying to get these movies done asap. It’s a shame, but again, we’ll have to see what the future holds.

This is the last comic post till the week of April 27th. There are a lot of issues I’m looking forward to reading. This is the week Flashpoint Beyond starts. That is Electra’s 100th issue. And the biggest thing this week was that the new comic series based on X-Men TAS started. The premise is what if the Age of Krakoa happened in that 90’s X-Men animated series universe.

Movie next! And I’ll also be caught up on movie posts after I post it, till Doctor Strange 2 in a couple weeks.

This is a BossLogic variant cover. I love his art, you’ve probably seen it online and even on some packaging for some of the relatively recent marvel movies.

This was a huge surprise for me. I went to my LCS as usual, and when i called in to get my list and purchase, one of the owners asked my shirt size. I told him and wondered if there was another store shirt or something he could have for me, as that had happened before. When he cam down to give me my comics I saw a jean jacket with him. He told me the other owner had been cleaning stuff out and found it and they thought it could fit me and that I’d like it. It’s from the 90’s so the sizes were different, it’s a large and I’m a modern medium, so it basically fit. So, now I have quite a cool official Marvel brand jean jacket. I love my store. <3<3

Alright! I can’t believe this, but I’m actually caught up (with this post and the next post)!! I will probably make a general post about this accomplishment also.

But, that means that this is the first week that I haven’t read the issues, and therefore, I can’t type up what I usually do about them. It will be like that from now on unless for some reason I am unable to post but still read issues. But I can comment on some of these. Batman Beyond got a new run and I got issue one to try it out and see if I’d be interested in the plot. This was also the week of issue one of the Earth-Prime miniseries that is connected to the Berlantiverse/Arrowverse on the CW. I liked that variant for Black Widow just because the shades design works well for a comic cover. Also, Marauders and X-Men Red started new runs. I think this is all post-Inferno. And there’s the Devil’s Reign finale which I’m excited to read.

Photo two is there because I forgot to add them in the first photo again. A DWM issue from Feb and the second issue of Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons. Since reading the first issue, I have been looking forward to issue two of this book. I can’t wait to read it and be in awe over the art.

Morbius (2022)

On By TheDanielWhoWritesIn Movie Reactions/ReviewsLeave a comment

March 31, 2022 – Morbius

Well, first thing’s first, it wasn’t horrible. The plot was simple, and thus a little predictable, it was okay but not great. And my knowledge of Morbius came from the 90’s Spider-Man animated series and the various times he’s showed up in the comics that I’ve read, so it’s not a lot. I did do some extra reading yesterday just to get a little more acquainted. And other than many stories with other marvel characters (mainly, of course, Spidey), there wasn’t a lot of stuff just on him besides his origin and then what it later became. So Sony basically had free reign. It basically was 5 ish main characters. Maybe 3 proper main ones and 2 side characters.

One thing that I did enjoy were the special effects. I think they were well done. The use of color and smoke was a nice touch.

I do wish there was a little more character development with the antagonist though. The actual antagonism of them came out of no where and wasn’t explained or hinted at. Maybe they were just a naturally violent person? Who knows.

I think Jared Leto did a good job here, Michael Morbius is a man of science but he doesn’t generally lean towards violence even in his vampiric form. Everything he does is about a cure.

There were a couple decisions at the end where I was a bit confused about. Though one of those things maybe less confusing and more, I don’t think that needed to happen. And the second thing I don’t understand why it happened (unless it’s because of the first). So, maybe we’ll see.

I really haven’t said a lot here just because it’s such a simple plot, I can’t really dig into it. It was a sequence of 10 ish plot points in all. Maybe 11.

Since there’s not a lot about Morbius when not interacting with other marvel characters, this movie doesn’t need to be judged against the comics much. It was nice to see Morbius on screen even if this is Sony. But this didn’t really “wow” me. Not that I expected it to. It’s an okay movie. Though I think I do have to put it below both Venom movies only because I liked the humor in the venom movies more than anything else in those movies XD.

Oh and another odd thing, the animated credits were so random. It’s was like a 70’s theme or something. It didn’t match the movie at all whatsoever. It just felt jarring.

Mid-credit scene: Yes. There are two, both during the animated credits. Both related. At first I was confused as to why what was happening was happening, then I guess I figured it out and was like eh, alright. The second one suggests more to come.

End-credit scene: No.

Dark Ages had its last issue, Captain Marvel started a new arc, Silk battled the witch and things didn’t go as planned, Banner was still doing some crazy stuff, Miles and Shift were thrown into the multiverse to look for someone, Peter and Ben weren’t on the same page as Ben still had lost memories (this led to a big change for Ben), Johnny Blaze had to figure out what was going on and who trapped him, the new Iron Fist had much to learn, we got a new title with Immortal X-Men, Spider-Woman had its final issue and Shadow War had begun.

Photo two is there because I forgot to include them in the first photo. One SWI issue and a Black Label title focusing of the rogues of Flash when they’re older.

Photo three is a special that I wasn’t sure I needed so looked it up to make sure. so I got it two weeks later.

and photo three is a poster of issue one of the new run of World’s Finest.

Movie next!

The Arkham Tower arc ended in Detective Comics with lessons learned, Clark began to make his moves since Midnighter started the ball rolling early, Rose and her new friend wanted Slade’s attention and got it (this would lead into the upcoming Shadow War event), Damian’s issue also would lead to that event, we got the next issue of Trial of the Amazons, we got the final issue of Demon Days (though apparently we’re not done with this world!), Maestro headed for Atlantis, Tony had to work on some things after he literally tore things apart, Kamala had problems with her doppleganger, Emma Frost played her hand perfectly (Fisk should have thought thrice before going after her), we got Thor’s granddaughters from Jason Aaron’s run back in Avengers Forever, and Sabé returned in Vader’s comic.
