Stark Industries Wants You!

We’re still nine months away from the release of Iron Man 2, so you know what that means: marketing time. What better way to get fans crazier than they already are than with some good ol’ fashioned viral marketing. Marketing strategy has always been a creative venture when it comes to Hollywood, and what was [...]

PREACHER: From Page to Screen

After Watchmen finally hit the theaters, comic book have been asking themselves what’s next? What’s the biggest, most revered comic book that could be adapted into a movie?

The answer is simple, it’s The Dark Knight Returns. Duh.

But creeping up right behind Dark Knight Returns is what is widely considered one of the greatest self-contained stories ever told in comics, the story of Jesse Custer and his search for God. Literally. That story is the hilarious, violent, gritty ride known as Preacher, created by comic book mainstays, writer Garth Ennis and artists Steve Dillon.

[REVIEW] Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I’d like to take this opportunity to give a large round of applause to Michael Bay. Congratulations, Sir, you’ve pulled the ultimate prank. You have managed to make the longest, most-expensive, highest-grossing spoof movie ever. I admit, I chortled pretty hard after the 58th explosion in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I caught the subversive [...]

Pull-List: Wolverine 74 Review

First I want to say sorry to all the readers out there. I’ve been gone for the last couple weeks and just now am catching up on my comic book reading. I’ve missed it quite a bit and have been ready to write for the past few weeks, but they just been a little crazy. [...]

The Flash: Rebirth – Status quo

The Flash: Rebirth No. 3
Written by Geoff Johns
Art by Ethan Van Sciver
I’m not that hard to please. As a matter of fact, you can churn out the same old schlock time and time again and if I liked it the first time, chances are I will like it next. That’s why I keep buying Nintendo [...]

Pull-List: Wolverine 73 Review

So here’s the deal, because of the whole Dark Reign arc going on, they’re throwing two Wolverine issues at us this month to catch up. Wolverine 72 is going to be a double sized Mark Miller spectacle that will conclude the Old Man Logan story, which once is done I’ll review. Old Man [...]

Pull-List: Eminem The Punisher 1 Review

Ok, so this is a bit different from the normal comics I review, but after getting this today I couldn’t help it. Eminem’s new album comes out in two weeks and as a marketing scheme they put him in a comic book with who better then The Punisher. When I saw it I [...]

Mastodon’s Latest A Feature Film?

I don’t normally tend to delve into the music world here on GKS, as that’s a whole other beast, but this little musical morsel wet my appetite enough and is pretty relevant to the type of thing we’re all about.

Apparently Brann Dailor, the band’s drummer (and responsible for the album’s story/lyrics) has hammered out a screenplay based on the album, with an unnamed director. The article also says that more than one director has expressed interest.

Pull List: Sub-Mariner Comics 01

There is something about the Sub-Mariner that’s just plain fun. He’s a man from underwater that fights Nazis, which is always cool. Again like the Captain America 70th Anniversary we celebrate Namor. Namor I always thought to be a misunderstood character. We know he’s been in love with Sue Storm forever, that he went [...]

3-D: The Gimmick Lives…

I remember when big-ticket summer flicks first started showing on select IMAX screens. Oh… you didn’t see Matrix Revolutions in IMAX? Well, no wonder you thought it was shitty. Sarcasm aside, let’s be honest with ourselves – if the scenes aren’t shot specifically with an IMAX camera (The Dark Knight, Transformers 2), then who really cares; most regular theaters have pretty fair digital projection and sound systems. But with IMAX, apparently seeing the movie in theater on opening day isn’t enough to brag about around the water cooler anymore.

Pull List: Captain America 70th Anniversary Special

Cap has been around for 70 years. That’s a long friggen time when you think about it. People picked up their first issue of Captain America 70 years ago and here I am today enjoying Captain America as one of my favorite super heroes.
We all know that Captain America is not longer the [...]

The Pull-List: Deadpool Games of Death One Shot

I know Deadpool is a beloved character to many, and recently I have to admit I have grown to be a fan, but this book was really just ok. I was excited about it when I saw it was coming out and really wanted to like it, but it just didn’t meet Deadpool standards.
The [...]

Pull List: X-Men Noir Series Review

“Listen up, bub. From where I come from…them’s fightin’ words.” –Wolverine
Think Sin City meets X-Men and that is what we have here. This story is a great little noir tale the takes all the X-Men characters we love, strips them of their powers, and puts them in a world of corruption and [...]

Iron Man 2 – And Black Widow is…

Wow, hot on the trail of the confirmed casting of Mickey Rourke for Iron Man 2, Deadline Daily Hollywood once again reports another juicy addition to the seemingly endless stream of stars on board for the sequel. That person is Scarlett Johannson. The role is the super-cool and deadly Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow.
