Captain America: The First Avenger|Movie Review
Aug 05
Honestly, I wasn’t thrilled when it was first announced that Chris Evans will be taking the role of Captain America. I thought he was too young for the role plus I’m used to seeing him play less serious characters (case in point – Johnny Storm). To add to that, I wasn’t much of a fan of the costume either when the concept art first leaked on the web. Came San Diego Comic Con 2010, Robert...

Some comic book artists may have improved so much they want to bury their past works as if in shame. You don’t expect the same from Mel Casipit. This guy is bold enough to release his first-ever comics, unredrawn, unenhanced, un-Photoshopped and all. He’s proud of it and he should be.

When Amazing Spider-Man Brand New Day (written by Dan Slott with artwork by the amazing Scott McNiven) kicked in several years ago, Peter Parker was so broke he couldn’t even afford to pay his apartment. He tried looking for a good job but just couldn’t nail at least one -Â not even as a lab assistant! Out of frustration, this was what ran on his mind: Now I bet those who have...

With all the Captain America buzz we’ve been getting everywhere because of the upcoming movie, its a safe guess to say a comic book adaptation would be available sooner or later. In this case, its sooner! Been doing some browsing when I stumbled upon this new online release. Yes, this digital comic is free for download if you click the right button over at...
