Angry Web

Last night, fans across the country gathered at their local comic book shop for the midnight release of Justice League issue #1. This issue signifies the relaunch of 52 series by DC Comics slated for release this month including Batman and Superman.

I took part in the festivities at my local shop, Collector’s Paradise, where there was a raffle and a 52% off sale on DC graphic novels. I didn’t have a chance to read through Justice League #1 until this morning and I have to say, it was a pretty good read.

Like most comics, once you skip through the ads, there isn’t too much content but the early character development was a good read. JL #1 starts off with the police in pursuit of Batman which eventually evolves into Green Lantern and Batman meeting for the first time. Their interest in Superman segues them into Metropolis where they start their search for the Kryptonian super hero.

Though there really wasn’t too much of a story yet, the stage is set for the first meeting of the members of the Justice League. You can feel the character development oozing out of this issue and though it has become the center of some criticism, I enjoyed it.

The art was amazing and the back and forth between Green Lantern and Batman was fun while they learned a little more about each other.

I personally don’t think I will be able to follow the whole 52, and I thought that I wouldn’t be on board for the Justice League series, but the way issue #1 ended, it leaves me curious to see how our team of heroes will band together in future issues.

I highly recommend fans of the DC heros to check this out (assuming you haven’t already) and let us know what you think. You can find the dates of the next releases of the New 52 below.

Well, if you thought the greedy bastard that is George Lucas was done ruining his franchise, guess again. These videos have been floating around the internet to an angry audience of Star Wars fans that are quickly losing patience with the changes being made to the original trilogy.

As if it wasn’t enough he made Greedo shoot first by jerking some film of Harrison Ford around or added Christian Haydensen to the end of “Return of the Jedi”, now we get blinking Ewoks and Darth Vader screaming “nooooo!” again while the Emperor beats on Luke.

Check out the videos below if you feel like being pissed off and here is my open letter to George Lucas:

Dear Mr. Lucas

Please retire.

Sincerely,
Angry Web

No, not really. A couple weeks ago, it was announced that a live-action “Captain Planet” movie was in development and that it would be geared towards younger audiences.  I for one was not happy with this direction as I would’ve preferred to see a more badass Captain Planet actually kicking the crap out of our planet’s waste problems. Like this…

We are happy to feature Victoria this week as our girl of the week because she has a way of standing out. Her costumes are not only phenomenal but there is a certain darkness to her that I absolutely love. Whether it is the black lipstick in some of her shoots or the macabre tone to others, Victoria goes from gothic princess to Disney princess in the blink of an eye. Her dark complexion and light eyes make Victoria an exotic beauty but let’s get down to the real reason she’s our Angry Girl this week…she’s a geek.

Victoria knows her comics and is a well rounded gamer. She has also been featured on G4 TV, in an advertisement for Dark Horse Comics, in Rolling Stone magazine and much more. She is a bit of a celebrity in her own right but by day teaches preschool. Victoria’s interview is an interesting read and we are proud to feature her as our Angry Girl of the week.

Name: Victoria Centeno

Age: 30 something

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a cosplayer, professional model and preschool teacher. I study Ancient Egyptian history, collect dolls, am a writer and enjoy meditation. I was named “The Queen of Cosplay” by Axiom magazine. I was the subject of the Entertainment Weekly article “Slave Leia: Some Assembly Required”. I’m featured in the 2011 September issue of Latina magazine and am an official Slave Leia model for Gentle Giant studios. I am a model for the comic book “Terminal Alice” by Big City Comics. I was named the 28th ‘Most Famous American Cosplay Model” by www.miccostumes.com

I have been featured on The Hollywood Reporter, G4 TV and in a national ad for Dark Horse Comics (as Buffy the Vampire Slayer). I have been interviewed by Newsarama, Supergirl Forever, Major Spoilers and Impulse Gamer. I have been featured on Rolling Stone, MTV, Esquire, local news and media, am a model for the Preston and Steve Show (the #1 morning show in Philly), PlayStation magazine and have been on countless websites.

What do you like to do for fun?
Conventions and shows are always a blast as well as shopping. I also love going to the movies but nothing beats spending time with my two niece’s. That’s the absolute best thing in the world.

What do you want to do for a living?
I am very fortunate to have two careers right now but if I could pick one, I would love to model full time or be a full time writer.

What type of video games, music, TV shows and movies do you like?
My favorite video games are Kingdom Hearts 2, Tomb Raider Legend and Alice: Madness Returns. For music I like everything from meditation music to Disturbed, 30 Seconds to Mars, Micheal Jackson and Coldplay. TV shows I love Spartacus, The Big Bang Theory and Robot Chicken. My favorite movies are Pan’s Labyrinth, Beauty and the Beast, Gone with the Wind and the Harry Potter films.

What is your favorite comic book?
I’m a fan of story arcs such as the first Wolverine Origin series, Batman Hush, Blackest Night,  Identity Crisis and The Supergirl from Krypton.

Tell us something interesting about yourself.
When I was nineteen years old I was in a car accident and was in a wheel chair. It took me nine months to learn how to walk again. I have a titanium rod in my right leg.
