Fantastic Four: Animated Series
May 31, 2007 | 1 Comment
Marvel and Cartoon Network launched an animated Fantastic Four series last fall. The DVD of Season 1 has been released. Season 2 will start on June 16th.
I found the first season only mildly entertaining. The animation is relatively modern with an anime type style to it. I would assume this appeals to many brought up on Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. The story lines are fairly involved and true to the characters and history of the Fantastic Four, the best part of the series. My biggest complaint, though, is with the voice acting. Specifically, Johnny Storm sounds like a complete idiot. Maybe it got better later in the season, I need to go back and watch…

Fantastic Four 2: Movie Posters
April 8, 2007 | 7 Comments
This new poster for Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer came out this week. It shows Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm, and Sue Storm standing in front with Silver Surfer flying in from the back ground.
It is definitely cool, but I like these two international posters better.
This one is simply the Silver Surfer bursting in on his surf board with the word RISE prominently displayed.
This other poster includes Sue Storm, The Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba) semi-transparent over the Fantastic Four logo with the tag line “They Will Return 2007″.
During Marvel Civil War, I really came to like the character of Sue. This has me additionally excited about this film. Hopefully the writers can capture the powerful character strengths I have recently come to appreciate.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance
July 30, 2006 | 11 Comments
Marvel Ultimate Alliance comes out this fall for all major consoles from Activision. The game will feature 140 characters from the Marvel Universe. Most important to me, this game will be available on the Nintendo Wii.
Here is a great trailer from San Diego Comic Con:
This is an older trailer that’s been around for awhile:
This trailer outlines the basic plot lines and shows quite a few non-playable characters:
This game is a four player RPG from the makers of X-Men Legends 1 & 2. Arguably, those games aren’t fantastic, but they can be fun when played in a group. Being the major comic geek, specifically as relates to the Marvel Universe, I am really excited for this game. Combine that with the fact that I’ll be purchasing a Wii on launch day, this will certainly be one of my first games for the new console.
Currently announced characters include: Spider-Man, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Thor, Blade, Elektra, Invisible Woman, Captain America, Human Torch, Iceman, The Thing, Dr. Strange, Nightcrawler, Nick Fury, Silver Surfer, Uatu, Lilandra, Dr. Doom, Black Bolt, Black Widow, Namor, Karnak, Corsair, Death Bird, Galactus, Heimdall, Professor Xavier, Scorpion, and more to come!
