THE COMIC ASYLUM #014 – RAMBLINGS OF A MAD MAN!

THE COMIC ASYLUM #014 – RAMBLINGS OF A MAD MAN!

Yes, it’s been a while since we have graced the blogging world but we thought it was about time we dusted off our thinking caps, put on our brainstorming gown and started smoking the imagination pipe (not a euphemism people, get your mind out the gutter!). A lot has happened since we have been away, Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel have hit our screens and divided opinions and I’m sure our thoughts on those two films will be made public soon. But for now, we have been brainstorming and over the next few weeks and we hope to have some really interesting debates with our readers. But I think the subject we have for you today is a cracking one to start with…………….VIOLENCE!!

THE COMIC ASYLUM #013 – THE FAN BOYS STRIKE BACK!

THE COMIC ASYLUM #013 – THE FAN BOYS STRIKE BACK!

Hello and welcome back to the Comic Asylum. You’re a lucky bunch of mother truckers this week as we have penned a double edition of our blog for you all to feast your lovely eyes upon. As you have already noticed this is the second part of our double bill as @Pete_the_Red wrote up a preview of Iron Man 3 in #012, if you haven’t had a look go check that out. So enough about Pete let’s get back to me (it’s all about me…) and what I have in store for you with #013. The title maybe a bit misleading today because this isn’t about Star Wars or galaxy’s far, far away. This is all about planet earth and a few species that occupy it called Fan Boys! (Cue the DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN)

THE COMIC ASYLUM #012 – IRON MAN 3 PREVIEW ‘THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS HEROES’

THE COMIC ASYLUM #012 – IRON MAN 3 PREVIEW ‘THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS HEROES’

Anyway, on to serious matters at hand (ha! Like I can be serious), this addition will focus on a film that is not so far away at all and a preview blog from myself was inevitable. This characters foundations lie in alcoholism, womanising and basically showing off but despite those ‘flaws’, he somehow manages to be one of the most loved and revered characters that have ever stepped off the page and has found a new home and a new audience on the big screen, he is…of course..Ol’ Tinhead…….Iron Man! (Cue the music)

THE COMIC ASYLUM #011 – ‘GENERAL YOU CARE TO STEP OUTSIDE?’ MAN OF STEEL PREVIEW

THE COMIC ASYLUM #011 – ‘GENERAL YOU CARE TO STEP OUTSIDE?’ MAN OF STEEL PREVIEW

Were back for the New Year and we hope that everyone out there had a great holiday season. I would like to say that I’ve been busy over this festive period but the fact is, I just haven’t. Unless you count being busy getting fat on turkey sandwiches since Boxing Day and spending quite a few hours with my friend Jack Daniels (This isn’t a cry for help! Honest!). In the meantime, I’ve never stopped thinking about what my next addition to the Asylum might be, I toyed with the idea of doing a ‘who could play who’ in the JLA movie and a piece about Wolverine and whether a new film could erase the terribleness of the Origins story that we were subjected to (Will.i.am was in it FFS!) but I decided to add them to my list of films to preview instead.

THE COMIC ASYLUM #010 – BATMAN #13 (THE MOST ICONIC COMIC OF THIS GENERATION!…)

THE COMIC ASYLUM #010 – BATMAN #13 (THE MOST ICONIC COMIC OF THIS GENERATION!…)

I asked how dark Batman would have to get to top the Dark Knight Trilogy earlier on. The answer lies within the pages of Batman #13 and I think it will be a long time before another comic can even be placed in the same bracket as this gem.

THE COMIC ASYLUM #006 – TOP TEN COMIC BOOK FILMS! (PART 2)

THE COMIC ASYLUM #006 – TOP TEN COMIC BOOK FILMS! (PART 2)

Another week has passed and yet another Comic Book film hit the silver screen. This time it was Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated the Dark Knight Rises. I went along with Pete on Friday with a few friends, was it worth all the hype surrounding it. Fuck Yeah! I now fully understand there is nothing to look forward to in life so I may as well try and find a girlfriend (EDITORS NOTE: Good luck with that!) have a few children (EDITORS NOTE: dear god not little you’s!!) and just give up now

THE COMIC ASYLUM #002 – A CONVERSATION BETWEEN FRIENDS

THE COMIC ASYLUM #002 – A CONVERSATION BETWEEN FRIENDS

“Is this era of comic book / superheroes being cool here to stay or is this just a fad?” Just a simple conversation starter between two friends and then I got his reply; “I think it’s a fad. Not for fanboys like us but everyone else. They did Batman and Superman in the 80s only to ruin it and it will be the same this time around”.

THE COMIC ASYLUM #001 – WHY TURNING DEADPOOL SERIOUS MAKES SENSE.

THE COMIC ASYLUM #001 – WHY TURNING DEADPOOL SERIOUS MAKES SENSE.

So this is where I ended up. How in the muddy brown rivers of England can Mr Wade Wilson be portrayed on the silver screen for him to generate revenue the likes of his pals at Marvel have done! Comic book movies now are dominating the big screen; I dare you to find someone not a little bit piss your pants excited for the Dark Knight Rises.
