Red Hulk 

Who is he?

The Red Hulk was introduced in Hulk #1, written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Ed McGuiness, a monthly ongoing series started following the World War Hulk crossover. Marvel also released a one-shot King Size Hulk (June 2008) in which Frank Cho, Arthur Adams, and Herb Trimpe supplied the artwork.
Crossing the Canadian wilderness, the Red Hulk encounters, and kills, a Wendigo before reaching Russia, where he murders Abomination. Red Hulk is next seen in New York, where he attacks S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Tony Stark, She Hulk and others investigating Abomination's death and erases all files on the Hulk, using a sophisticated computer virus before destroying Stark's newly commissioned Helicarrier. After this, Red Hulk travels to Gamma Base in Death Valley, squaring off against Rick Jones, and his A-Bomb persona, before facing android Harpies and the original Hulk. Thor interrupts the confrontation between the two Hulks.
Red Hulk's identity has yet to be revealed within the comic series, but in an interview Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada suggested it was Ares.

Marvel editor Mark Paniccia has described Red Hulk as "absolutely uninhibited, tactically intelligent", while writer Jeph Loeb states "The Red Hulk is the kind of Hulk we haven't seen before - a thinking, calculating, brutal weapon-toting kind of Hulk." To further distance the character away from the original. "Everything the Green Hulk isn't, the Red Hulk is."

Son of the HULK 

Born in fire. Raised by monsters. Destined to destroy. On an alien planet shattered by war, no one is stronger than Skaar, the savage Son of Hulk. But as a Fillian warlord, an Imperial princess, and a mysterious Earthman spread chaos through the wastelands, will Skaar save the puny survivors -- or smash them? Another epic fever dream from Greg Pak, writer of "Planet Hulk" and World War Hulk".

Kolchak: The Nightstalker 

The original paranormal investigator

Before X-Files, there was only one major paranormal investigator, reporter Carl Kolchak.

Kolchak was originally two made-for-TV movies (starring Darren McGavin..RIP) that aired in the early 70's, and featured the adventures of Carl Kolchak, a reporter who ran up against a vampire in Las Vegas and an alchemist in Seattle. These movies proved popular enough that they were spun off into a series, which placed Kolchak in Chicago with the Independent News Service. Each week for 20 weeks he investigated various supernatural creatures, ranging from aliens to vampires.

Although it only lasted one season on ABC, Kolchak has remained a cult favorite and been kept alive through the efforts of creator Jeffrey Grant Rice, and the folks at Moonstone Comics, who have two ongoing Kolchak comics.

As a fan of the tv series, it's good to see Carl back in action. The stories are very well done and do justice to the character that Mr. McGavin brought to life. You can almost hear Kolchak's narrative as you read. Anyone familiar with the original tv series will appreciate that.

Another short lived Nightstalker television series was introduced in 2005 on ABC and can be seen occasionally on the Sci-Fi channel. But there is no comparison to the original.

Pick of the Week 

TERROR INC.

Centuries ago the man who was to become Terror Inc. killed a gruesome demon. Of course, by doing this he was cursed. His body began to decay.On the plus side he also got the demon's ability to merge the limbs of others with his own body. He has since, taken the name Terror and started a detective agency..Terror Inc.
Terror has the ability to replace body parts with parts or organs taken from others, a process which he must continuously do since he is constantly decaying. Any body part he assimilates will immediately start to decay.
He also gains memories and eventual skills or super-powers from any body part he assimilates. It is not necessary that the body parts he assimilates is human, he could add wings or a tail to his body if he wanted. Terror has even replaced his head with another persons to gain their knowledge and memories.

CYBORG #1 

This issue gives the new reader everything he or she needs to get a good understanding of where Cyborg has been and a decent hint to where Cyborg is going. The only thing that really bugs me is that they never mention Cyborgs real name once in the entire story (It's Vic Stone by the way) which is kind of weird since the issue deals almost exclusively with his origin.

Indiana Jones 

and the Darkhorse

It's been nearly twelve years since Dark Horse last published the continuing adventures of Indiana Jones, and in 2008 we see the good Doctor return in high style.

First up is the Indiana Jones Omnibus, the first of two massive tomes collecting the entirety of Dark Horse's Indiana Jones miniseries and one-shots, also featuring some truly amazing covers from the likes of Hugh Fleming and Alex Ross. Much of this material has not been previously collected and has been long out of print, so for many Indy fans this will be like unearthing lost treasure. The Indiana Jones Omnibus Volume One is on sale now with the second volume to follow in June 2008.

X-MEN Origins 

WOLVERINE

After being the breakout character in three blockbuster mutant flicks, Logan will try and set a spin-off blueprint that could eventually yield a "Magneto" movie and more. "We are dealing with a character who is probably one of the darker comic book characters ever created," Jackman said of the flick, which co-stars Liev Schreiber, Dominic Monaghan and Ryan Reynolds. "The movie has a lot of fun elements, but there are layers of pain and darkness to this character."
"Tonally, I would put it more in the 'Batman Begins' sort of realm," he said, distancing the flick from past "X-Men" movies. "That's sort of where we're headed."

Blood: The Last Vampire 

Awesome Anime movie that spawned the Adult Swim series

Now in production ...LIVE ACTION
Plot Summary: On the surface, Saya is a stunning 16-year-old, but that youthful exterior hides the tormented soul of a 400-year-old "halfling." Born to a human father and a vampire mother, she has for centuries been a loner obsessed with using her samurai skills to rid the world of vampires, all the while knowing that she herself can survive only on blood like those she hunts. When she is sent onto an American military base in Tokyo by the clandestine organization she works for, Saya immediately senses that this may be her opportunity to finally destroy Onigen, the evil patriarch of all vampires. Using her superhman strength and her sword, she begins to rid the base of its evil infestation in a series of spectacular and elaborate showdowns. However, it is not until she forms her first human friendship in centuries with the young daughter of the base's general that Saya learns of her greatest power over Onigen may well be her ability for human connection...

Superman 

The man of steel

It's been nearly two years since the world was introduced to Brandon Routh when he became the latest actor to don the big red S of the world's most iconic superhero for Superman Returns. Though Bryan Singer's film itself prompted a wide variety of reactions, one thing everyone seemed to praise was Routh's spot-on portrayal of both Clark Kent and his Kryptonian alter ego, a role Routh expects to reprise early next year in Singer's follow-up Superman: Man of Steel.

Witchblade in 09 

Platinum Studios announced they are bringing Top Cow's comic book franchise Witchblade to the big screen. Even though no actress has been announced for the lead role, the company has already released a teaser poster and has launched a teaser site for the film. The comic book introduced the "Witchblade" mythology, which centers on a jewel-encrusted gauntlet that gives extraordinary powers to the wearer, a specially chosen female from each generation.
