A Few Thoughts with JT

Hey blog readers, JT here with a quick post on a few things I wanted to mention and inform you guys on.

Numero Uno, as you guys know, our good buddy X has burned himself out due to doing a ton of reviews, a ton of comments and working a crazy ass Vampire schedule. Due to that, I told him I'd help out here more so the blog doesn't get stagnant, he doesn't overwork himself, and you guys have something new to read/discuss. I'll be back later on tonight (Friday) with a review for the Batman Annual and tomorrow with a review of the Amazing Spider-Man Annual. That leaves us with pretty much nothing from me on Sunday-Wednesday since I only grabbed three books this week, so if X doesn't wanna review America's Got Powers, I'll do that as well, just wanted to let you guys know what to expect.

Secondly, I know a few people were worried that Rick Remender is leaving Venom soon and Cullen Bunn will be taking over, it appears the book is in good hands according to a recent tweet by Remender himself. "Remender: Just finished reading @cullenbunn 's first solo issue of Venom. It's smart, insane and everything I love in comics. Book is in great hands."

Now that all that stuff is out of the way, I can post the thing I REALLY wanted to tell you about, the upcoming fighting game featuring DC Comics Heroes and Villains!!!!! That's right, there's a game coming out next year starring all DC Comics characters including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Harley Quinn, Solomon Grundy and more, and you can see the first trailer below and read more here. Feel free to let X and myself, HUGE Gamers, know what you think! And with that, I'll catch you guys later today with a new review, JT signing off!

  1. I can't wait to see what OTHER characters will be announced. Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Nightwing, and you know who would be really cool to see??? DAMIAN WAYNE. Black Manta, etc. This game is gonna be GREAT!

  2. Sweet, since JT posted something, I don't have to! :P I'll probably do another post like I did yesterday(that lame-o two sentences per comic deal) and try to get some real reviews up towards Monday or so. Oh, and I'll be very interested to see what type of score you gave that Batman Annual, JT... VERY interested indeed...

    As for the game, I wish it would have dropped a few years ago back when I was crazy into DC! Still, if it promises a slew of characters(like 30-40+) I'll be there, if only to beat the living hell out of Saint Barry! Oh, and one more thing, CAF please.

  3. Caz, I'm really hoping we see Nightwing in this game, hell maybe Hood since it seems to have a New 52 art style and he has a book... well I can hope anyway. I'm sure the rest of the league will make it, and Joker and Deathstroke of course. Here's hoping we get some people like Lobo and Sinestro.

  4. Ah, I ignored you X, lol. Posted too quickly. I forgot how out of love you are with DC at the moment, but we BOTH know you're gonna get this game because it looks awesome, you'll need something to play next year when you FINALLY get tired of Skyrim and most importantly, you can literally knock Barry into orbit... although a Create a Finisher would be awesome.

  5. I doubt Remender would say anything bad about the writer taking over his series. Does anyone have anything good to say about Bunn's writing? His first arc in Wolverine has been lousy, Fear Itself: The Deep sucked, and Fear Itself: The Fearless was mediocre at best. The new guy has a lot to prove, and Remender has some big shoes to fill. I fully expect to be dropping the series after Remender leaves.

  6. I was actually going with a Create a Fighter feature ala Soulcalibur. Create a finisher? Meh. And hey, maybe by next year I WILL finally be tired of Skyrim... Although I already have three other characters I want to play as after this(my third) one... So maybe not...

    And I kind of agree with TRobb here. It would be weird if Remender wrote, "Just read the new guy's script, and boy did it suck!!" I doubt Marvel would like that! I will say that I liked Fearless until it dragged too long(plus, you know, Hellstrom's idiotic heel turn) and am(mainly) enjoying Cap and Hawkeye, which I think he's connected to. Obviously Marvel is high on him since he was allowed to work on so many big books, but it still remains to be seen what he can to with a series like Venom.

  7. Trobb - Sadly the only thing I've read of Bunn's was the FCBD preview of Spider-Man Season One, but I DID enjoy that enough to have my shop order the trade... here's hoping Venom is in good hands. Can't be worse than what I've had to see happen to Jason with Lobdell...

    X - Come on dude, you know im always in SVR mode, so CAF is automatically Create a finisher lol. Creat a fighter would be pretty damn awesome though... that game looks awesome though.

  8. That's true... I should have realized that before I typed in CAF. Imagine a CAF that's good enough to let you make Marvel/Image/whatever characters? THAT would be the greatest game EVER!!

  9. Damn right you should've! And that would be awesome as hell if you could make Invincible, Hulk, Thor and such.
