I mean, how could a world news industry, run by middle-aged men who are lifelong readers, ingore this story? LOL! 🙂

This Voice of Morpheus……….
……will be the voice of the Silver Surfer in this summer’s live-action flick “Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Sliver Surfer.”
EXCELLENT CHOICE!
(I really hope this movie will go down as the greatest sequel of all time. 🙂 )
In response to this news, a poster on the Fantastic Four Message Board said James Earl Jones should be the voice of Galactus. A better choice could not be made.

No Words Necessary Here—Coming Attractions For May
Oooooooooo………. 🙂
Even Though It's Just Temporary……
…….I’ve got to admit I like the idea of this.
Yeah, I know that the picture’s too tiny. It’s an image of the Black Panther and Storm slumming in New York with two well-known Fantastic friends in a famous flying bathtub.
It’s a homage to this famous cover from the early 1960s:
I look forward to The “New” Fantastic Four in both Black Panther No. 27 and Fantastic Four No. 544.
Quick Review Of Black Panther No. 23: "Foreign Affairs," Part I of III
WRITER: Reginald Hudlin
ARTIST: Koi Turnbull
PLOT: King T’Challa and Queen Ororo are being drawn into the CIVIL WAR that has sharply divided the heroes of the Marvel Universe. One hero, Goliath, is a casualty. So it’s time for the Royal Couple to choose a side—and fast.
Goliath’s murder by a genetically engineered clone of Thor, The God of Thunder, was the highlight of Civil War No. 4. Some African-American fanboys—including moi 🙂 —were not happy about Dr. Bill Foster, one of Marvel’s few (!) Black heroes, becoming the Crispus Attucks of the superhero set.
VERDICT: I’m not a CW fan, but Hudlin is beginning to create well-crafted stories. I still can’t call myself a fan of this book, but I’m no longer a hater. I look forward to seeing the seeds planted here flourish in future storyarcs.
Quick Review Of Black Panther Nos. 20-22: "World Tour," Parts II, III, and IV of IV
WRITER: Reginald Hudlin
ARTIST: Manuel Garcia
PLOT: King T’Challa and his new bride, Storm of the X-Men, begin a global diplomatic mission. They have to discover who their friends and enemies are, now that they are a power couple on Marvel’s world stage. So they visit the Inhumans on the Moon, Prince Namor The First of Atlantis, and Iron Man in Washington, D.C. as CIVIL WAR continues to rage throughout the Marvel Universe.
VERDICT: I’m still not feeling the characterization of any of these characters, but Hudlin’s writing is improving. The conflicts seem contrived for action’s sake, which, in comics terms, is so mid-1960s. 🙂 But Hudlin is trying to tell a story. The flashback sequence with The Invaders in 21 was well-handled. The confrontation with Shellhead would have been interesting if I hadn’t read the far superior Enemy of The State II a few years back.
Anyway, the stage is set for King T’Challa and Queen Ororo to become major players in CW. And I guess you’ve heard by now that the Royal Couple will soon join a certain well-known superhero team?
The History Of The "N" Word………..
……….is summarized here pretty well. What happened to Michael Jackson that time, however, must have been in this artist’s mind, though, because the word “kike” is suspiciously absent.
