Offworld
Report: Comics, Manga and Anime - Feb '04
An Alan Moore retrospective, another look at Tank Girl, and why
poor old Captain America is now awakening in a parallel reality
where the Nazis won WWII and control the USA ... hmmm, a bit of
politics, anyone?

X2:
Frank's Thoughts
Is everybody ready for a second helping of a particular mutant recipe
known as the X-Men? Apparently so since the first taste of this
action-packed delicacy mustered up an incredible $157 million at
the U.S. box office.

X2:
Mark's Thoughts
This second film based on the X-Men comic book is a better story
and a more atmospheric production. I am told it is a better adaptation
of the comic book. One does not come to this sort of film for a
deep statement of the human condition, but for a summer action film,
it is not too bad.

The
Film Without Fear - or Shame.
In Daredevil, Mark R Leeper finds an uninspired comic book superhero
film that borrows everything, while inventing and contributing almost
nothing. An uninspiring actor plays an uninspired idea for a superhero
in a familiar setting … one that feels like it was stamped out at
a factory.

X-Men
Sparks A Film Frenzy
The amazing success of the X-men has got every studio on the planet
rushing to produce a superhero movie. It's a crazed caped crusader
race to the box office the likes of which has never been seen before.

China
Worships Marvel Comics. It's Official!
Stan Lee used to be the King of Marvel Comics. Now the Chinese
authorities want to make him the King of Manga. Not bad for a 77-year
old age pensioner.

genre translated into celluloid? Ace film reviewer Berge brings

X-Men
The Movie - Are You X-Cited Now?
Superhero movies have had a mixed track record - from the heights
of the first BatMan movie to the lows of The Incredible Hulk. So
will the new X-Men movie beat Marvel's tendency to produce tripe
and set your heart racing?

Space
Is Dum
There's a new web-only cartoon SF series called Space is Dum. It
reminds us of Ren and Stimpy with a touch of South Park gross. Brush
off your browser's Macromedia Flash plug-in, & get your wobbly butt
over to the portal of pleasure that is our sci-fi & fantasy web
site directory.

X-Men
X-Travaganza
The X-Men comic is Stan Lee's best-selling title. Millions of kids
the world over thrill to the adventures of these mutant superheroes.
But will it be enough to break the 'Curse of Marvel' when it comes
to their attempts to cash in on Hollywood? Hey, can anyone say Incredible
Hulk.
