  1. Man... Papa Midnite's accent is pretty awful. And I had to pause for a short bit when he started speaking Haitian Creole. Jeeez.

    Well he's Jamaican not Haitian.

     

    My boyfriend is Jamaican and even he cringed and laughed at how bad the accent was. He was saying, "It's like the actor couldn't pick which Caribbean accent he was suppose to do, it's a mess." And I don't know, I'd think as a Vodou priest who's suppose to be highly knowledgeable in Haitian Vodou, you'd at least be able to pronounce and speak the language pretty well. But eh, is what it is.

  2. I didn't read the run in full. Milligan is one of my top 5 favorite comic writers and I loved Scab. After that, things meandered a little bit and I was reading on and off until I finally dropped the book (mostly due to funds). I remember a lot of strange things in the India arc and I remember being highly taken aback at how Gemma was being written. I think I literally said out loud," What the Fuck?" while seeing how she was penned under his hand.

  3. So I'm in my very first calendar. I'm Mr. May for Hunks4Hope 2015. Hunks4Hope is an organization helping to raise funds to donate to charities and victims of domestic violence. I've been very fortunate to be a part of it. This is me with the amazing front woman of the cause, Lila Green, a survivor of domestic abuse.

  4. Didn't really care for it.

     

    Expound, son, if you've got the time.

     

     

     

    I didn't have the time to expound when I posted that but now I do! :laugh:

     

    I found it to be rather dull/mediocre and void of what makes Hellblazer a gripping series. I was nearly immediately turned off by Constantine coming onto the scene to save the day and having a calling card - or heck, even simply branding himself as an exorcist. One thing I grew to love about Constantine were the low-key subtle, subdue horror, the tone and mood, etc. And I loved him being a drifter, getting himself into these strange supernatural situations because he simply can't escape it. It's his every day life and if he can be there to help out, sure, why not. But instead he feels like a superhero. Everything felt so glossy and rather over the top and not in a charming way. (Example: That ending with the flaming hands. WTF??) Matt Ryan showcased some aspects of John that I know, but it still felt rather off in places. The fact that he can so easily be fooled by a demon at the climax disappointed me heavily. This is THE CON-JOB we're talking about here. I personally feel based on this one episode that this show was not created with me in mind, me meaning a fan of the Hellblazer comic series.

     

    I'm willing to continue to watch to see if this improves. But based on this episode, I can't say I'm into it.

  5. NYCC this year. Met up with some great chaps!

    Me: Can I take a picture with you?

    Black Panther: Sure.

    Me: Amazing work, man! How long did it take you?

    Black Panther: Oh, it took me a while. (goes into a bit of details)

    Me: Nice. I'm thinking of being T'Challa for Halloween.

    Black Panther: You should totally do it. Did you see the Hawkman from yesterday?

    Me: Bill? Yeah, I know Bill. I saw he was here yesterday.

    Black Panther: Yeah, he's here today too.

    Me: ... Bill?

     

    LOL

     

    And finally the living legend himself Bill Sienkiewicz!!!!!

  6. And then Marvel does something kind of cool that I like. Dammit.

    Uncanny Avengers will relaunch after Axis, featuring and...wait for it...Brother Voodoo! yes, he's back, baby! And written again by Remender.

     

     

    That's the only thing that matters.
