Hi, Folks:
Not much news today… I flatted two pages, and they look spiffy.
Last night, I watched the Tom Cruise version of “War of the Worlds.” The opening was artfully done, but pretty much everything else about this movie left me cold. It was all right, really. What did impress me was the effects sound track—it was spooky, and exceptionally well done. It practically sounded like paranoia.
Today, I read World War Hulk. Such a cool concept, and a really interesting story. The ending was weak. I guess it had to be weak, because it was not like they would really kill of their key characters like they did Captain America… Oh, yeah… Scratch that. Anyway, the writing was quite good, and John Romita Jr. is the best action comic art since Jack Kirby. I just don’t see any living comic artist that comes close. Klaus Jansen inked, and did so beautifully, and even upped his game, it seemed to me. I’m glad I read it, even if the end whiffled out.
Have a great weekend! Scott.
