ClareR (5726 KP) rated Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft in Books

Apr 11, 2018

I keep telling myself not to get involved with another comic series. This book (and the next in the series) is the result of taking my children to the library to while away a wet day during the Easter holiday. I thoroughly enjoyed it, too. It dives straight in to the action from page one. Bits are rather blood thirsty, and it does bend reality (he's his fathers son, and probably fed up with being compared to him as well, but there it is!). It's all about keys and somebody, who isn't particularly nice, wanting to get their hands on them. I don't want to say anything else! All I will say, is that it's well worth giving it a chance.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) in Movies

Jun 10, 2019

“Marvel has gone mad.” This was the kind of reaction that many film-fans greeted the news of a film adaptation of Guardians of the Galaxy, one of the comic-book company’s lesser known band of heroes.

Thankfully, the film is an absolute masterclass. With the best ensemble cast of the entire MCU, some crazy set design and a great soundtrack, James Gunn’s MCU directorial-debut is practically perfect in every single way. We even get a decent villain in Lee Pace’s Ronan the Accuser. Plus, it’s got Glenn Close spouting absolute nonsense and Vin Diesel getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to say three words over and over again. What could be better?

MCU Sequel

As we all know sometimes sequels can let us down. This one was par for the course. We catch up with Spiderman doing his good deeds, still being love sick with Mary Jane and now dealing with his friend harry wanting the death of spiderman because he thinks he killed his dad and he is the head of Oscorp. Our new villian is Dr. Octopus. A physicist whose experiment goes wrong cause a robotic set of arms graphing to his spinal cord.
We also see Spiderman faltering during this movie losing some of his powers cause he relies on them too much and not himself. Not bad for a sequel and it keeps with the comic book better than most.

A comic book written by a play wright? That's right.

In a world where two warring factions in another dimension are in a war for ages, their two future rulers have been placed on Earth to grow up. When they meet, they immediately feel a connection.
This is not Romeo and Juliet, as the issue immediately tells us.
I was absolutely riveted. For the exposition that this issue had To do, ithought it was done very smoothly. I also found I really enjoyed the characters especially the main two. My biggest regret isthatthere is currently only one issue out. I will be adding this series to my monthly pulls because I believe it warrants the support.
