Summer Movies: Man of Steel and the Man in Iron



Man of steel is opening this week end and I am actually looking forward to it. Generally I am not a super man fan but it looks like its going to have a good story and from the trailers is going to look awesome. DC is looks to be really stepping up its game when it comes to movies lets hope that this does good, because I a fascinated to see how a justice league movie would be handled. I going to try to see it opening night my daughter will determine if that is going to happen or not. I seen Iron man 3 and had to catch a matinee. While talking about movies

I might as well touch on Iron man 3 as well. Here is how I describe it. At no point during the movie did I think this sucks, I even really liked how they handled the Mandarin I know that others did not like that. One Ben Kingsley is not Chinese two they can always bring a real Mandarin later and four I don’t mind straying form the source material as long as it’s honored. But when the credits rolled I did not have the same awesome blown away feeling that I had at the end of the Avengers or even the last Dark Knight movie. So either I am building up immunity to awesome or it was lacking awesome to effect me. Very funny as always Robert Downy was as engaging as ever bringing more to the roll of Tony Stark than I think was ever written on a page. Out of the three I would put it second and only because the ending of 2 was not so great. Also I expected more from seeing all the armors in the commercial that was a little bit of a let down for me.


So with great anticipation I look for ward to a summer of awesome movies. And just in cause you think I over used it; AWESOME. Leave you thoughts and feeling on Iron man 3 below.

DC buildables

Here they are the DC buildables you may have seen my marvel series 2 buildables.  I talked the the vender who owned the vending machine and he hooked me up with 2 sets one of which I put up on ebay to try and get some of my money back in my pocket. One thing I like about this set is that the faces look really great the marvel set looked kinda off. The features did not quite line up if you get up close. The body however are kind of weakly air brushed. But they still look awsome.

Heroclix

When I started this blog I was getting a warhammer army together to play. Now any one who plays  knows its an expensive game to play and im not that close to a place to play, that coupled with most people where I live play 40k Im trying a new game. Seeing the price and the fact I work in a place where they sale heroclix was a good motivation to try it. One thing I do like is you can play online so even if you cant get a game going or you just need to get a hang of the rules you can play. There are simple and advanced rules so any one can play plus you can make make any dream team of super heros to play with. There so many pices to use and diffrent versions kf the same character you can spend some money here as well, but you dont have to with starter sets for about 20 dollars you and a friend can get with it quick and cheap. Most new sets also have a code to get the figures for the online game so you can practice with them. Over all a fun little game that has been out for a while and has a following.  You can check there site at heroclix.com to find a local retail location in your area.

Free comic book day heroclix

For free comic book day there was an Iron Man 3 heroclix. Its not a bad figure on the first clix you get running shot, penetraring shot, impervious and perplex. It has no extra abilities and after the first clix the abilities go down but you still get 3 attack for 150 points so not a bad figure.

Free Comic Book Day

Yesterday was free comic book day and the store was very busy, we also did some good business. There where people lined up at the door at both stores. Most people at the just came in and grabbed there free book and took off but we had a drawing if you spent five dollars or more and every time you pulled you won some thing. The other guys thought it would be funny to put on one of the pull tickets that they had won a date with me. My wife thought that was also funny when I told here about it after, especially because almost every one that pulled it was a guy. But the high light of the day was one of the friends of the store came in with a movie replica of the Captain America uniform from the movie. A lot of people where waiting for him to come in. It turned out that he had when to the Riverside store and since that was where the owner was he would not let him leave to come to our store. but he did finally make it.

Any geeks dream

I reasenly went into my local comic shop and the guy behind the counter asked me if I was still intrested in working there. I had talked to him and the owner months ago and didnt really expect anythingbto come of it. So I have been working as a float between his 2 stores. It pretty cool. There is a lot of busy work like making bags and boards but I get store credit and ghe work is not hard. And I get to talk about comics and read books off the shelves.
