The Adventures of Karen Ross (Part 2)

My next to periods were the ones I dreaded. I hated math and science and could never fully understand how cutting up a defenseless frog was going to help me in the future. I had told Jeff before how I felt about the subjects and by his reaction one would have thought I had announced the apocalypse. Jeff was a total science nerd and was always talking to me about future inventions. I was happy when the two periods were over because that meant lunch time. Going to the cafeteria Jeff was waiting for me with a tray. He always helped me to get my food since my hands were preoccupied helping me to remain upright. Jeff helped me to get to a table and sat down next to me.

Batman vs. Superman: The Battle for Ideals

In the spirit of Batman Week lets take a look at two of the most prominent figures in DC Comics. There has always been the debate over who is the better hero Batman or Superman, but today we would like to take it to a more philosophical level. Who better stands up for their ideals and beliefs better? That is exactly what we are going to look at.

First lets take a look at how each character differs. Yes this may seem a little redundant, but it’s to help keep the focus as we move on. Batman is not so much a hero, but a vigilante who punishes those who need to be punished. Batman is not afraid to get on their level never crossing the kill line though. That is the one barrier that he leaves to separate himself from the villain scum. Batman has also spent years training and honing his body and mind to as near perfection as he can get it. Of course he also tends to boarder on madness from time to time. Although, he does seem to have a plan for everything.

Review by Stewart Loud

Judge Dredd proves once and for all that, no, he isn't frightened of anything when he goes head to head with science fictions most fearsome face biter in one of the best, and most obvious comic book crossovers since Alien and Predator.

2011: Superheroes on the Screen!

We, at Comic Addicts don't only review, interview etc. but also keep you abreast with the latest happenings in the comic world and 2011 is the year of superheroes on screen, when comic comes to cinema!

2011 started with Green Hornet which released on January 14. The movie was nice, but sadly not awesome. The next big thing came today, Thor and IT IS AWESOME.

Coming to future releases now, the nearest next release is Priest, based on the Korean comic. The comic's good, the trailer's nice and now we have to wait for May 13 to know whether the movie is good or not.

M Take : Why should you have picked up Nextwave when you had the chance..

-Created by Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen.

- By Manks

Nextwave is one of the most unadulterated fun title I have read in my entire comic reading life. Sadly however , like most fun comics out there, it met an untimely demise. After Transmetropolitan this is my second most favorite comic out there by Warren Ellis.  And he is not even the reason to check this book out. Stuart Immonen has done his career best work to date on this title. Yes true believer, if you missed out on Nextwave when it came out, its time you rectify your mistake.
