Still prefer the original over the sequels tbf.

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

Can't really read much of the article because of the paywall are we headed for a soft reboot of the Alien franchise much like the recent Halloween films? www.thewrap.com/sigourney-we...

At best this whole storyline is going to be like a version of Superior Spider-Man and yet I don't want to draw comparison my guess is that Sam will return and possibly a new incarnation of Hulk too.

It was passable fare, the cast were alright. Much like legacy films, it just hinged on nostalgia.

I honestly think he's to going turn up Infernal Hulk too you know..

The only thing about recent Amazing Spider-Man books is the brilliant Lee Bermejo variants, it's the sole reason why I'm getting them. I don't think the creative team know what to do with him.

Hey if you’re going to octocon in Dublin this Saturday I’ll be there and doing sketches (a4 headshots €50) and talking comics. Or if you fancy a preshow commission (slightly more time taken) and I can it before I go down!

Your mileage may vary but I'm not really interested in any of those Marvel Legends NYCC reveals.

Neil Patel. @officialneilpatel.bsky.social · 2d

It wasn't the best of comic to live action adaptations, but I think showrunner Kenneth Johnson distilled the core elements quite well, the pilot episode still has it and the two parters still stick out.

They didn't have social media back then so Bruce took a selfie of himself.

Neil Patel. @officialneilpatel.bsky.social · 2d

Straying into the murky waters of politics, I never liked that Nick Clegg bloke anyway.

Neil Patel. @officialneilpatel.bsky.social · 2d

I think Bruce and Betty are meant to be together, it is one of the tragic romances in comics.

Neil Patel. @officialneilpatel.bsky.social · 2d

You're 100% right. Al Ewing gave him a definitive ending.

Neil Patel. @officialneilpatel.bsky.social · 2d

Against my better judgment, I've just ordered 1 in 25 Variant comic. Sigh.

Reading this brought back all the old feels. Back then the stakes were high. @gregpak.net still knows how to write a compelling Hulk tale. Greg is one of those writers who understands the psychology of the character. Great to see Carlo Pagulayan back on the interiors too. #comicsky
