Film Review: Pacific Rim

July 29, 2013 by

pacific-rimPacific Rim feels like a breath of fresh air. Not that you’d notice from the trailers, which depict the robots vs monsters pitch more akin to a Transformers film than that of the final product. In fact, Guillmero Del Toro’s latest effort feels less like the modern, Western blockbuster than it does a live action love letter to Japanese anime, something sorely missed in Hollywood today. While it certainly draws on the best parts of the large scale kaiju-inspired films, providing some awe-inspiring action set pieces, it manages to also find itself beholden to some of the more negative aspects of the genre in as well.

Pacific Rim is set in the far future, where through a portal in the ocean known as “the Rift”, a race of giant creatures known (not so subtly) as kaiju have begun to assault our shores. In response, humanity creates a legion of massive piloted robots known as Jaegers to counter this threat. The Jaeger’s only caveat – they require two pilots to sync their minds together to work, because the mental strain is too much for one mind. One such pilot Raleigh Becket (Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam) finds himself grounded after a tragic loss, only to be brought back in by his old superior officer Stacker Pentecost  (Idris Elba) and the mysterious Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) to make one last effort to destroy the kaiju threat once and for all.

This is where Pacific Rim both stumbles and succeeds. On the one hand, Del Toro has crafted a narrative that doesn’t worry itself with the same trappings of a post Christopher Nolan blockbuster space – no hero brooding on his loss, no dark and gritty take on a genre, just a good old fashioned tale of humanity overcoming the odds to succeed – instead it’s interested on how the film can put the characters through the paces against an army of monstrous kaiju. On the other hand, the story just feels like that is all it’s doing: moving pieces around the board so they can show us many ways of punching monsters, rather than any extended period focused on the main cast of characters out of their robotic suits.

The film also has no unique characterisations to speak of – both Hunman and Kikuchi’s characters feel very one note and the rest of the cast seem more intent on fulfilling a stereotype than making them feel unique. Charlie Day and Ron Perlman both seem to be having fun in their sub-story (which I won’t spoil here), and Idris Elba serves well as the inspiring leader, but aside from that the characters and their dialogue remain very stilted and dull. One can not help but feel like that may very well be the point – why bother making these characters anything more than the basics, when what you’re really paying to see are beautiful action set pieces with stunning special effects. However, the interactions between cast members are prominent, so it becomes hard to ignore.

Where the story falters, the action soars, as film makes the most of both its size and scope for the fight scenes. Aside from a brief disappointment with the beginning of a set-piece in the film’s second act, Pacific Rim boasts some of the most beautiful and exciting fight scenes in recent memory. The film seems to top itself with how much more amazing it can be with each consecutive scene, all the while remaining both colourful and easy to follow.

The Jaeger and Kaiju designs are fantastic and fun to watch – as is expected by any film by Del Toro these days. Taking cues from famous anime like Gundam and a number of Japanese monster movies, the designs are bold, colourful and easy to distinguish. Were I a ten-year-old again, Pacific Rim would remain my go-to toy franchise for years to come.

Speaking on the use of 3D, it holds up remarkably well. In fact, I recommend watching this film on the biggest possible screen, with the best possible sound and in 3D. Despite a lot of water and rain effects obscuring the scene at times, the special effects look stunning, and the 3D adds to the experience rather than detract. This is a film made to be watched in a cinema.

Pacific Rim is something unique in the film space so far this year – a new film wanting to instil a sense of awe and excitement without being dragged down by the dark aesthetic of the modern blockbuster. Guillmero Del Toro has begun a franchise that reminds the viewer that they don’t need a dark hero or a twisted story. It reminds them to have fun.

Revival #12 Review – Tim Seeley and Mike Norton

July 24, 2013 by

Image_Comics_-_Revival__12Revival is a series I don’t find myself talking about very much. Not because lack of quality – Tim Seeley and Mike Norton’s horror mystery is a slow burning scare, broken up by a solid family drama that hits all the right notes. No, I am of the firm belief that the best horror is experienced alone, left to your own imagination. But how can anyone experience the horror if you don’t tell them it exists?

Revival tells the story of a small Wisconsin town, which for one day found its dead brought back to life. These aren’t the usual zombies that we know, for these undead – known as Revivers – act like any other human for the most part. Known for incredibly violent outbursts, these Revivers cause the small town to become locked down by the US government. Revival follows Dana and Martha Cypress, two sisters, one a cop, the other a university student turned Reviver, as they deal with the enormous fallout, and the overarching mysteries of this new event.

Revival #12 is essentially an epilogue to the third large story arc, picking up right after the bloody and violent events of issue 11. One thing that can be said about Revival as a series is its incredible accessibility. Now is a great time to jump on to the series, as many character conflicts are resolved, but as always if you wanted to follow each and every detail of the story, head back to the beginning.

This issue, while having less gore than the previous ones, does instil the overarching creepiness the series is known for.Dana’s son Cooper writes his own comic inside a comic this issue, acting as a simple recap, as well as a solidification that not only the reader is aware that something is off. His representation of his Aunt as a monster confirms that these characters are beginning to notice something is off with Martha, rather than the reader becoming more and more frustrated at the idea that they are unable to see what is going on. Combined with Martha’s odd behaviour throughout the issue (and series in general), it makes the reader wonder whether this is something she is aware about.

Ibrahaim Ramin’s side story of the fallout with a racist farmer from last issue is also a great touch. From a town steeped in a strong Christian religion, and with many spouting the end of times, he deals with a religious crisis – both internally and externally. Seeley likes to explore any of the possibilities in this event that science can’t explain, and for religious fanatics to blame it on their heretics makes for an interesting turn of events that look like they will play a bigger part later down the track.

Norton’s art is great as well. While he doesn’t reinvent the wheel, his clean lines and great detail help with a sense of place, as well as his realistic looking figures help to make it feel real. I’m also a huge fan of Mark Englet’s colours, which help with the drab, cold, but colourful palate of small town USA. And while the cover this month isn’t done by the brilliant Jenny Frission, Skottie Young’s cover is both fun and asks an interesting question about the mysterious ghost stalking about the town.

Revival is a series best read alone, in a dark place, and at night. While it doesn’t throw relentless horror at you like recent attempts in not only comics, but film and gaming as well, when it does become violent and spooky it stands out. Throw in some great world building, and a cool art style and you have yourself a title that no horror fans should miss.

Webcomic Wednesday – Batman ’66

July 24, 2013 by

Holy atomic pile Batman! It’s Webcomic Wednesday, the day I trawl through the digital space to show the readers something new and exciting. This week I’m checking out DC’s latest digital effort Batman ’66, courtesy of writer Jeff Parker, and the various artists he conjures up each issue.

batman

Batman ’66 is a continuation of the 1960s live action Adam West Batman television series, complete with its camp, silly attitude. It  follows the antics of Batman and his trusty sidekick Robin as they deal with the everyday threats to Gotham City. This series takes almost all of its cues from the television show, right down to the character designs. But you don’t have to be familiar with the original series to have a good time.

Parker’s stories are all suitably silly and fun. The first issue finds the Riddler crashing the Lady Gotham Awards ceremony to steal the award for himself. Why? Because he’s a bad guy. And how does Batman recognise that something is wrong? Because he notices that the plane is flying below FAA guidelines. It’s the silly dialogue, lack of any proper motivations and the POW! BIFF! BANG! that makes this series a certified hit.

It also helps that the series is taking a cue from other successful digital comics like Moth City and the Marvel Infinite titles and utilises the format to help create the motion comic. This allows the full effect of the onomatopoeic sounds to work within the confines of the comic.

If you needed any more reasons to read this series, but you don’t, each issue features covers by the great Allred team who are working away over at FF as well. Check it out here. A dollar a pop for something that is both visually impressive and a huge laugh is well worth your time and money.

Review: Young Avengers #7 – Kieron Gillen & Jamie McKelvie

July 17, 2013 by

youngavengersFull disclaimer – I have never read the much-loved original run of Young Avengers from a few years back. It slipped right past me, and I have always intended to pick it up. So without this preconception, I picked up the first arc of Young Avengers a few weeks back, and haven’t looked back. This title is absolutely fantastic, and with issue 7, it looks like its only going to get better.

Writer Kieron Gillen has managed to create a superhero team that doesn’t feel quite so self important like the other Avenger crews. Too often in those larger titles the world feels like it’s the only thing at stake, and everything is written with that in mind rather than a more closer threat. With Young Avengers this isn’t the case. Their enemies, while equally universe-spanning, feel a lot more personal rather than an attempt at destroying the planet – and with the events of issue 6 setting up a fairly terrifying villain who has taken one of their own – it feels like these heroes are merely trying to get by rather than looking for danger. It makes the series feel more realistic, with the threat being a danger to the team, not some mustache twirling super-villain’s attempt at a new world order

Gillen’s more grounded storytelling transfers over well to the characters. Each individual character acts like you’d imagine a group of 18 year olds battling personal dilemmas like having sense of worth and managing powers. Not only are their issues real, but the dialogue feels real also. These are a bunch of teenagers who react to each other, and the language reflects that –  these are kids who are stuck with one another, so it’d make even the most quiet of people want pick on one another.

The story in this issue is mainly about having the pieces fall into place. The team is approached by Prodigy, who gives Wiccan information about his brother, who is seemingly absorbed by an inter-dimensional being. As they move to stop him, they find themselves about to pass through other dimensions to do so. There isn’t a great deal going on, but if Young Avengers can be this good on a slow issue, it’s even more brilliant on a better one.

Speaking on brilliance, Jamie McKelvie rivals Hawkeye‘s David Aja in art duties and panel design. From his impressive work on his Tumblr-esque recap page, his breakfast menu credits page, or his Facebook photo reel, each page brims with smart design and great art. His character designs, while were initially a bit too realistic for my liking, and felt like a Saturday morning cartoon, have grown on me and I take back all of that. I absolutely adore McKelvie’s work.

In fact I adore the entire series. Gillen and McKelvie’s smart design and storytelling have elevated this series to one of Marvel’s best, and one of my favourite series so far. Lets all hope it lasts longer than its predecessor.

Webcomic Wednesday – The Private Eye

July 17, 2013 by

Hello and welcome to Webcomic Wednesday! Each week I trawl through the digital space to bring something new and exciting, and share it with you, the dear reader. This week I return with one of my favourite writers, and his pay-what-you-want digital series. I’m talking about The Private Eye, courtesy of Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin.

the_private_eye

Seriously, those names should be all I need to say for you to pick up this series. But, just in case, The Private Eye is the story of Patrick Immelman, a private-eye living in the far future. Set after an event where every single person’s entire digital self was opened up for everyone to see for forty hours, The Private Eye is a classic film-noir story set in an interesting, weird, and at times completely plausible future. To say anymore would ruin the fun.

The writing is top-notch, which is what you’d expect from the calibre of names such as Vaughan’s, but Martin’s art is also fantastic. Both abstract and colourful, thanks to Muntsa Vicente’s varied colour palate, it really helps to set the tone of this neon-lit future where everybody is intent on hiding. Its bright-lights disguising a disgusting world and it plays out beautifully.

Really, there isn’t much more I can say without spoiling anything. If you were ever a fan of Vaughan or Martin’s other work, then this should be a no-brainer. For everyone else, this should be a no-brainer too because it’s high shelf stuff for whatever you want to pay for it. Seriously, check it out.

You can do so here. It’s three issues in and it is a treat.

Webcomic Wednesday – Prodigal

July 10, 2013 by

Hello and welcome to Webcomic Wednesday! Each week I trawl through the digital space to bring something new and exciting, and hsare it with you, dear reader. This week I’m returning to take a look at a series that has found it’s way to being free online, courtesy of Geoff Thorne and Todd Haris – Prodigal.

prodigal01_01_016-1100x825

Prodigal, which has existed in some form for a while now, has made its way to Thrillbent, joining the ranks of Moth City and Insufferable in being an entirely free digital comic. It’s the story of a pair of hired hands – one is an indestructible man, and the other a deadly assassin woman – who are tasked to retrieve a religious artifact from a group of thieves. It’s standard comic stuff, but from what I’ve read of the first issue, it sets up something quite fun.

The fun extends along the art, which is both suitably animated and violent, and the dialogue, which Thorne manages to make a lot of nice back and forth between the two leads, Pae Mae Jacinto and Byron Lennox. It reminds me of a good odd couple show – and based on the credits of the two creators, whose work extends to almost every other entertainment medium, expect to see some of those sensibilities to shine through.

Just one more quick aside – having seen the first few pages of their original run of Prodigal, and then seeing it translated to the digital form it is in now, I am impressed at how well it has been handled. Pages have been rearranged and details that were once hidden behind the other panels have now come forward – so fans of the previous run will still be able to get something new out of this one.

If you’re interested in checking out Prodigal, and you should because it’s fun  (and free), check it out here. It’s updated every Monday, and it is just kicking off so you can get on the ground floor.

Review: Superior Foes of Spider-Man #1 – Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber

July 10, 2013 by

The-Superior-Foes-of-Spider-Man-1Another double header review from Sean and Shawn – enjoy! – Ed.

Sean Robinson’s Take

Superior Spider-Month kicks off over at Marvel Comics on an interesting note. Superior Foes of Spider-Man #1, is actually anything but Superior – in a good way. Taking a leaf out of Hawkeye‘s book, this story of the new Sinister Six (minus one) focuses less on an overarching threat, or a long form tale involving the team’s titular nemesis, and instead on the day to day lives of this band of C-listers. While it doesn’t seem to come out swinging of the gate quite as well as Hawkeye did, it still manages to be a good time.

Nick Spencer decides to focus on Boomerang AKA Fred Myers for the first issue, and if you have no idea who that is don’t worry. Spencer sets out to tell everyone who Boomerang is, and in turn makes him that little bit more human. It’s an important, and easily overlooked concept that if handled badly could make this book about villains hard to get into. Granted, by focusing on Boomerang it then overlooks the other members of the team which doesn’t necessarily sell the issue as a team based book, but it doesn’t hurt it here.

The story at hand, with Boomerang trying to get his team a job, is fairly straightforward. It does give a bit of an insight into the team dynamic, and positioning the team as a matter of necessity rather than a close knit group of friends does set up for some fun banter, and the dialogue elsewhere, especially in the flashback, makes for some truly funny moments. It even gives the story a Lucky-esque dog character that I hope has more play in future issues.

Lieber’s art is also pretty good too. His use of symbols in the speech bubbles, for background noise  or the animals is a particularly neat design choice, and he manages to express characters well. His art style is well suited for a mainstream superhero-comedy title, realistic but exaggerated enough to portray humour. While not as visually impressive as other titles out there it does serve it’s purpose.

Superior Foes of Spider-Man #1 gives the reader – aside from the long-winded title – a fun comic. While I have been throwing that word around a lot, especially in regards to Hawkeye or FF, it manages to get up there in being a title that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is something that Marvel has been doing a lot lately. But while this issue does manage to channel the right emotions – it doesn’t quite reach those two in quality. Hopefully when the team dynamic gets underway will we see another truly great title from Marvel.

Shawn Warner’s Take

Another Marvel team book is not so news worthy in these “Uncanny” days but when that team consists solely of villains, that can generate some interest. Throw in the fact that these villains are all enemies of The Superior Spider-Man and Marvel just might have another hit on their hands. Not since Norman Osborn headed up Thunderbolts and Dark Avengers has there been a true villain-centric title at Marvel. In fact, Jeff Parker recently wrapped up Dark Avengers and the current Thunderbolts though made up of characters like Deadpool, Punisher and Venom cannot truly be called a team of villains. The success of Secret Six at DC is indicative that there is a fan base for a book like this. The only question I have is what took so long?

Superior Foes of Spider-Man is a bit of a misnomer; these guys are only superior in their ineptitude. They are Marvel’s answer to the cast of Seinfeld – they are a team of D-listers and that is where this disarmingly charming book comes into its own. Boomerang is a down and out ex-baseball player cum swindler who from his current locale behind bars, runs a team of equally bumbling miscreants. They have dubbed themselves the New Sinister Six despite the fact that there are only five of them as yet. Speed Demon and Shocker shoulder much of the comedic load and they do so with the savvy of a seasoned Vaudeville duo. Beetle is more concerned with social media than what’s going on during “team meetings” and Overdrive is the consummate wheelman. These two team up to knock off a comic book store in one of the books funniest scenes full of Nick Spencer’s razor-sharp dialog.

Oddly enough for a Spider-Book debuting during Superior Spider-Month, there is not a single panel featuring Spider-Man, Superior or otherwise. This did not present a problem for me. I thoroughly enjoyed this book much in the same way I enjoy Hawkeye. Now before I get crucified for blasphemy against Hawkguy, let me explain. Both books are very stylish in design – Steve Lieber’s artwork is slick and his old school page layouts have a retro sensibility not dissimilar from Aja’s work on Hawkeye. As for the writing, Nick Spencer and Matt Fraction have taken characters otherwise overlooked by most comic book readers and thrust them into the spotlight. The stories are full of excellent dialog and quirky characterizations written at a snappy pace, with lots of action to boot.

This is only the first issue, but there is so much potential and so many unmined plot gems to be discovered in these vastly unexplored characters – Nick Spencer has his work cut out for him. The team dynamic for a group of cutthroat backstabbers is going to be a joy to develop I’m sure. Then there are the countless solo mis-adventures for each of these characters. I look forward to Shocker and Speed Demon crossing paths with just about any Marvel hero but Deadpool immediately comes to mind. The quips, one-liners and obscure pop culture references boggle the mind. Then of course there are the inevitable run-ins with Superior Spider-Man himself, who just happens to be the former head of the Sinister Six.

I have become a big fan of Nick Spencer, his work on Secret Avengers is something I look forward to every month, so I am extremely happy that Marvel has given him another ongoing monthly series. This book is fun and full of all the things that make comic books thrilling and engrossing. Spencer has the unique opportunity to move these characters from obscurity to centre stage in the 616. Although the events do take place in continuity, this book is not bogged down by that fact. It exists alongside the world of big events – Infinity is even referred to when the Origin Bomb is mentioned.

Steve Lieber is a perfect choice for this book. His style is polished and very hip. He has an eccentricity that comes through in the way he renders a scene right down to the posing and anatomy of the characters within a panel.

I found The Superior Foes of Spider-man to be wildly humorous and absolutely enjoyable. Visually and textually relevant, I whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who likes some criminal hijinks and first-rate writing and artwork with their laughs.

So until next week, see you at the comic book store.

Review: Batman & Superman #1 Greg Pak, Jae Lee & Ben Oliver

July 4, 2013 by

batman-superman1I am in complete agreement with a whole lot of sentiments being thrown around the Internet. We need another Batman or Superman comic just as much as we need another X-Men title – they just keep coming, and there’s going to be a point of over-saturation. So when Batman\Superman #1 dropped into stores, I merely bought it because I felt I should check it out – and I’m glad I did. Greg Pak and Jae Lee (with Ben Oliver on art duties for the last few pages) have begun something that while it  doesn’t entirely break the mold in the written sense, is still a good story in among some of the most unique and impressive art I have seen in a while.

Firmly rooted in New52 continuity, Batman/Superman #1 sets up the first time the  two met. While it doesn’t initially address the continuity issue of their apparent first time meeting back in Justice League #1, Pak decides to instead have Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne first meet as Clark investigates the murders of Wayne Enterprise employees. Their initial meeting is great, as it reaffirms each of their own personal philosophies, while also pointing out the flaws as well. It’s not new ground whatsoever, but it does help to highlight that this pairing comes from two very different people.

Pak also brings back the signature double narrators that was made popular during the initial run. I’ve always been a huge fan of this form of storytelling – if it’s used correctly. Too often it can appear cluttered and noisy, but Pak doesn’t fall into this trap and manages to control this aspect well. He makes sure each character gets their due, before moving onto the next one. It works really well.

The real star of this issue is Lee’s art though. Each panel is absolutely beautiful – a soft watercolour effect mixed with a muted colour palette making the work look stunning. It’s a shame that he doesn’t do the entire issue however, as Ben Oliver steps up for the final few pages. Oliver isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination and his work manages to hold his own against Lee, but it does feel a bit jarring when we move to a more pencil drawn approach. Just give Oliver his own title to truly show off his work and that’ll make everyone happy.

With the introduction of a more magical based villain, drawing on the back-ups of Batman in recent months, Batman/Superman is off to a great start. While it doesn’t appear to be breaking any new ground story-wise – just a standard buddy story for two of DC’s biggest hitters – the choice of artist really makes it stand out. If Pak and Lee can keep this momentum going, those qualms of over-saturation will be soon forgotten.

Review: Superman Unchained #1 – Scott Snyder & Jim Lee

June 18, 2013 by

unchainedSuperman is getting a lot of love lately, and why shouldn’t he? He’s the superhero archetype, celebrating not only 75 years of his existence, but also essentially heralding the 75 years of  superhero comics as we know it. He’s got a new movie, new digital series, and now a new ongoing series – Superman Unchained. Courtesy of comics legend Jim Lee, and current superstar Scott Snyder (who we’ve established many times is killing it over on Batman), this new ongoing series is out to revitalise the otherwise decidedly mediocre current main title line-up. And boy, does it deliver.

Superman Unchained reads like a true Superman tale. We have flashy action, honest human (Kryptonian?) heart, and good old fashioned Clark Kent journalism. Following a mystery regarding satellites falling from orbit, as Superman exercises both his raw strength and journalistic skills – it’s standard fare for Kal-El and that’s a good thing. It seems like Snyder went out to make sure he hit all the right notes of  making a great Superman story and delivered. While it definitely doesn’t break any new ground, it’s 100% fun.

Snyder also manages to make it immediately accessible to new readers with only a cursory knowledge of the Man of Steel. Aside from needing to know that Clark Kent has left the Daily Planet, Snyder crafts a story that could be read by anyone, and stays true to the fiction. Lois Lane is smart and sassy, Jimmy Olsen is loyal, and Lex Luthor is… well, Lex Luthor. For the brief period each of these characters appear, you just get their character. Snyder’s grasp of the world of Superman is uncanny, and it makes you wonder why he hasn’t written him sooner.

Speaking of the world of Superman, this issue has a healthy amount of references to the DC Universe around him, not just the Superman family. Starting with a fun jab at Batman, Snyder treats this like a title within a universe, rather than just treating it like it’s own entity. It’s simple, but incredibly effective.

Jim Lee does not hold back for this issue, as we are treated to some of the more spectacular works I have seen from the artist. The issue comes with a large fold-out poster for print readers, which is treated like any other page for the digital crowd, and it looks amazing. Lee really seems to get Superman, and alongside making the New52 outfit look cool, really has a grasp of Superman’s character design. From the softly drawn quieter Clark Kent moments, to the more powerful “super” moments, Lee draws Superman brilliantly.

The only issue I have with Lee’s art is that at times it can feel a bit claustrophobic, with the more action packed sequences throwing a little too much at the page. This is only a minor quibble, as Lee absolutely kills it otherwise.

With a cool new villain set up, which leads to some interesting historical implications, Snyder and Lee have set the stage for Superman Unchained. While its first outing didn’t really break much new ground, if it is going to be this good I don’t really care. This is too much fun.

Webcomic Wednesday – Moth City Season 2

June 12, 2013 by

moth-city“What?!” I hear you say, “But Sean, today is THURSDAY. You’re a day late!” Well, sure I am. But it’s my show, so my rules and stuff. And besides, good things take time, so the extra day only makes it sweeter.

Speaking of good things, I’ve been meaning to return to Tim Gibson’s Moth City for a while. It was one of my first Webcomic Wednesdays I ever covered and I loved it then. So this week, just in time for the Comixology release, I decided to bring the spotlight back to it once again. So welcome back to Moth City.

Moth City is very much as you knew it from last time. The excellent use of digital space returns, with panels making themselves before your eyes. What’s new is that Gibson has taken to tackling a few more action scenes this time around and it looks great. The sense of movement as the panels switch between each other is great – no longer are you relegated to seeing the entire fight at once.

Speaking of action, the story has started to take on a different approach. Following the cliffhanger at the end of season one, it seems to have picked up on the small strands of horror and begun to run with them. Certain events are transpiring to ensure something bad is going to happen. We only get a sense of what is really to come, but without spoiling anything – it’s looking good, and it’s looking to go bad spectacularly.

You can check out Moth City here, on Thrillbent, and on Comixology. It’s shaping up to be something that horror fans should be keeping an eye on and it is a lot of fun.
