Watched last night it's okay I liked it alot I remember when the graphic novel came out what if superman was raised in Russia and become a communist version of superman which I thought was a good concept for a comic book Now I've watched the animated movie it's just as I pictured it to be I liked the way the story took characters like bat man wonder woman and slightly change them to what were used to from them overall not bad movie

Amazing Spider-Man animation

A great bright, colourful and technical amazing animation film. It's hard to describe the style, quite often a mix, but almost like a 3D comic book at times. The story is good and suits an animated film better and the voice cast is very well chosen. Along with a great soundtrack and plenty of funny moments. I can imagine more films in future taking this visual approach.
Absolutely awesome, go check it out! Currently on Netflix.

This is hillarious. If your a fan of Impractical Jokers, Comic Book Men or just life in general then you need to listen to this. The fact that it's been running for nearly 10 years now credits the guys on their ability and enthusiasm for what they do. Even when they have things happening in their personal life they still manage to deliver their blend of uncensored humour, quirkyness and anger.
Be warned you need a sense of humour and ability to not get offended to listen

I'm calling this a graphic novel because that's really what it is - it's not a comic, though. Each spread of pages is a mixture of text and oil painting - sometimes just a painting.

If it was just the text, it would be a very lackluster book. There are aspects of the story that are unexplained, and aspects that are explained only by the accompanying paintings. It's really the paintings that make this book unique. It's almost like - an adult picture book, I suppose. It actually reads more like someone found the series of paintings and constructed a story to support what they imagined was happening in the pictures.

Regardless, it's a unique experience. Manchess is a remarkable artist. The paintings are gorgeous, and the book does that thing where the text and art play around each other on the page, creating unique formatting that helps tell the story on its own, like when a full two-page spread of a painting has two lines of text to emphasize them.

Fascinating, beautiful book.

Dana (24 KP) rated Batman: Arkham Asylum in Books

Mar 23, 2018

I have not read too many of the DC Comics, but this one was really good. Batman is one of the few DC heroes that I like, so it was cool to see this side of him through the Joker's eyes.

Okay, so in this comic, the Joker is trying to turn Batman crazy by exposing him to all kinds of horrifying things, namely the villains he has put away.

We get Arkham Asylum's backstory. We learn that the owner, a man who had lived in the house before turning it into an asylum after his mother had died after going insane herself. After many years of trying to help those admitted into the asylum, he ended up going crazy as well and locked himself inside one of the rooms scratching a story into the ground with his fingernails. Gruesome, right?

I really enjoyed getting to see the patients in their natural state and seeing them trying to fight Batman and make him feel as they felt was strange, but really interesting.

The artwork is what really set this comic apart. It set the mood perfectly, capturing the creepy, haunted, and ominous tone of the asylum while still keeping a sense of beauty to it. All in all, it was absolutely stunning, if not unnerving.

I enjoyed the story, even if I was a little confused at first, but it all comes together in the end.

There will be some spoilers in this next bit. This comic comes full circle in the fact that it, the comic, the asylum, and the old Doctor Arkham, all foreshadow Batman's involvement in the asylum itself. He is the one to bring people in, deeming them insane, and bats are what drew Old Arkham insane. It was very well thought out.

Overall, I really enjoyed this comic book and I want to see if there are more that are told in this style!
