Comic Books > Fantastic Four Linkage

I was a comic book fiend as a kid, so I invariably watch the movie adaptations. I haven't caught FF yet, because with the baby I don't see a lot of first-run movies, but I'll see it sooner or later.

Ace of Spades has a well-written review. I really liked his review of Star Wars Episode III, also. I thought then that he knew an awful lot about drama for a conservative blogger with a smarty-pants schtick. Turns out he's using his blog and nascent right-wing radio show as a backdoor into Hollywood scriptwriting. That's a new way to get your screenplay read.

National Lampoon's Jay Pinkerton has the Fantastic Four re-imagined comic, a panel of which is at the top of this post.

I've plugged his blog before, but check out Dave's Long Box for great comic book blogging. His M.O. is to pluck a comic book from his collection and critique it. Dave has a weird sense of humor, but I like it.

I didn't read Fantastic Four as a kid, but I did read Marvel Two-in-One featuring The Thing. Dave reviews this issue from the awesome Project Pegasus series, which lasted like half a year. I had that very issue. Hey, I had this Daredevil, too, written by Frank Miller and with Bullseye as the villain. Good stuff.
