Iron Man 2 Trailer

There have been a lot of DC Comic reviews on this blog, but in our household we are Marvel fans. . .and more specifically even I am a big time Robert Downey Jr. fan. The combination of Iron Man and RDJ playing Tony Stark is just great. I have all of the Iron Man comics on my computer and read a few of them as a child (thanks to my Marvel loving brothers). Although there are some changes to the story, I can't help but love to watch Iron Man over and over (my husband is just as bad with it which is nice, and even my older son loves it - but he has more of a Spiderman fascination).

Since the start of the filming of Iron Man 2, I have made sure to keep updated with director/actor Jon Favreau's Twitter and all the news articles released. The trailer has come out!! I thought I'd share it. Let me know your thoughts (whether you know the comics or not).

Buffyverse

TV Show/Comic of the Day: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Website of the Day: Much Ado About Buffy

Buffy has never been a normal girl. That much is obvious. She has been chosen to be the one to pretty much save the world in a matter of hours.

I first saw the movie in 92 and thought it was pretty funny. But the show is the way it should have been done. It still has moments of humor, but it is much like a horror movie put into a tv show.

If you still can't get enough of that, there is always the Angel series. It shows you what happens to Buffy's ex-vampire love. It even has singing demons. Now, demons aren't all bad in the Buffy/Angelverse. I guess you have to watch it to understand.

Now, if you still can't get enough, there are the comics. Dark Horse continues to tell the tales of Buffy in Season 8 (which is in comic form rather than tv) and you can also catch up with Angel in his series.

Oh yea, there is a musical episode of the show. Who can say no to that?

Comic Book Days

Job of the day: Working at a comic shop

Website(s) of the Day: G.E.N. & Graham Crackers Comics

What does Monday night mean to me? It means me going to bed earlier so that I can wake up early on Tuesday morning. Why? It's because I help out once a week for store credit. I dig and sort through long boxes of comics that I have no interest in (umm Punisher) to obtain the ones I am interested in. I get to drink a funky energy drink while listening to movie scores on the speakers. I hear Kriss and the manager talk about figures, comics, movies, etc. I actually enjoy being there. It makes me feel like I am behind the scenes. Today I grabbed a copy of the new Emily The Strange and an issue of Previews. Previews is a catalog of what is coming up in the next few months in the comic book world.

Anywho, time to take a nap and then read some comics of course!
