Turok

Turok. And that's all that needs to be said. Words that come to mind when you hear Turok:

Badass, kickass, brutal, gory, glorious, awesome, killer, dinosaurs, dinosaur slayer. Haha, well, they at least come to my mind. For those of you who don't know who Turok is, allow me to introduce,

Turok is a fictional American comic book character initially in comics from Western Publishin published through licensee Dell Comics. He first appeared in Four Color Comics#596 (October/November 1954), then graduated to his own title, Turok, Son of Stone. Gold Key Comics and Valiant Comics later published the character.
When the character appeared in Valiant Comics, the concept and setting were altered slightly. Turok and Andar were now 18th century Native Americans. The isolated valley became the Lost Land- a cosmic anomaly where time moved in a self-contained loop (which meant that while millions of years passed outside of it, inside it, time barely moved at all). Unity, a line-wide Valiant Comics crossover, altered the concept even further. The crossover's main villain, a psychotic, super-powered being known as Mothergod used the Lost Land as the base of operations. She outfitted the dinosaurs with intelligence-boosting implants, turning them into "bionisaurs". In the aftermath of the final battle between Mothergod and Valiant Universe heroes, the Lost Land began to disappear. Turok wound up tossed into the jungles of then present-day Columbia. Andar landed in parts unknown. Unfortunately for Turok, a group of bionisaurs made it to Earth along with him. Since then, he became a ruthless bionisaur hunter. Valiant published a total of 53 issues before Acclaim purchased them, including Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #0-47, Original Turok, Son of Stone #1 & 2, Turok Dinosaur Hunter Yearbook in 1994, and the two-issue mini-series Turok the Hunted in 1996.

As a child, the stories thrilled me, and I was able to overlook flaws, such as calling herbivores "flesh eaters." It also seemed to me that the poison arrows worked a little too quickly, killing the targeted dinosaur virtually on contact. Flaws and all, Turok remains one of my fondest memories, and I've taken up collecting back issues of the comic.

Watchmen

Really lookin forward for this movie to come out TOMORROW!!! Me and Iulian are definatley trying to see this movie tomorrow while also trying to get a couple dates. I'm gonna ask this one chick tomorrow, hopefully she'll say yeah. Well anyways! HERES THE PLOT LINE!!

A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, the film is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union -- is permanatley set for 5 minutes to midnight.

As he reconnects with his former crim-fighting legion, a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom who has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... But who is watching the Watchmen?

The Punisher

I love this Marvel comic because it is just so dark. All the superheros always refuse to kill anyone because it is not true justice. But the "Punisher" finds a way around that rule and says it is their punishment. But Frank Castle or aka, The Punisher did not chose to do this out of the blue. His dark past haunts him every day of his undead life and fuels him to kill criminals with brute force and guns.The Punisher is a vigilante who considers killing, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, and threats of violence, and torture to be acceptable crime-fighting tactics. Driven by the deaths of his family, who were killed by the mob when they witnessed a gangland execution in New York, City's Central Park the Punisher wages a one-man war on the mob and all criminals in general by using all manner of weaponry. His family's killers were the first to be slain. A war veteran, Castle is a master of martial arts, stealth tactics, and a wide variety of weapons. The Punisher first appeard in "The Amazing Spider-Man". But he was an antagonist of Spidey as the Punisher always tried to hunt down Spider-Man.

X-Men Origins Wolverine

I just had to do a post on this movie. A couple years ago, my friend Justin told me about the Origins of Wolverine. He said he got a few books and videos on it from the comic store. Wolverine is probably my favorite X-men character of all time. Probably my favorite Marvel character as well with the Punisher. Well for those of you who don't know, Wolverine, or Logan, or James Howlett has been alive since the 18th century. He fought in the civil war, World War 2 ( where he saved Magneto) and every war since then. I mainly love this character because he just can't be killed. First he was able to heal himself and now he's filled with indestructable metal. so no killing Wolverine for a very long time. Here is the plot for the movie:

Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabretooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going through the mutant Weapon X program.

Gambit and Deadpool will also show up in this fantastic movie. I just can not wait for this movie to arive in theatres. The hype is just to great!! WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Tarzan

Here is a series that everyone should know. Of course, even Disney did his version of Tarzan. This is also a favorite of Mr. LaCombe's. The Lord of the Jungle is always fighting to survive in this wilderness and saving the damsel in distress known as Jane. Won't those stupid beast's ever learn they can't mess with Tarzan? Haha. Well I thought these were some great covers that Mr. LaCombe emailed to me. So enjoy!

TMNT!

Haha. I never new how many comics I see everyday. I woke up this morning on a Saturday to find that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was on the boob tube. Well this image here is the first issue of the comics of TMNT. This was created as a parody of Frank Miller's "Ronin". The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles originated in an American comic book published by Mirage Studios in 1984. The concept arose from a humorous drawing sketched out by Kevin Eastman during a casual evening of brainstorming with his friend Peter Laird. Here are the names of the four turtles, Leonardo, Raphael, Donetello, and Michelangelo. They were named after the four geniuses of the Renaissance era known as Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael Sonzio, Donetello the sculptor, and MIchelangelo Buanarroti.

Leonardo(Blue) - He is practically the brains of the operation. The big cahunna of the four. He has two swords and leads the four into combat. He loves to chill but mainly is always training hard.

Raphael(Red) - He's the badass. Raphael is pretty jealous of Leonardo because Raphael wants to be the leader. But Raphael is the strongest of the four muscle wise. The only difference between Leo and Ralph is Leo can think like a leader about situations while Ralph likes to use brute force. He uses weapons called a sai. They basically have three prongs on it with the middle being the largest.

Michelangelo(Orange) - He is the most laid back of the four. He loves to skate and surf until he can't no more. He's always screamin out kowabunga, or totally dude, or any surf phrase you can think of. Michelangelo uses nunchaku to fight his foes.

Donetello(Purple) - He is the smartest one. He is practically a scientist, inventor, engineer, and techenological genius. He prefers to use his intellect allibilities to solve problems but when he does fight he uses a bo.

This badass surfer dudes are all trained by their master Splinter. Splinter was mutated into a Rat but he still has his martial arts ability. Whenever there is a problem between the four they look to Splinter for guidence. They train in the sewers of New York and eat pizza's all day long. I loved to play TMNT video games on my SuperNintendo and ofcourse watched the television show as a kid. What is your guys's take on TMNT??
