Guardians of the Galaxy #3, Astonishing X-Men #25, Iron Man: Legacy of Doom #4, and Other Face-Rocking Comics
July 14, 2008
I’ve been wanting to try out a couple of ongoing series these past few weeks, but looking at my pull list, I think I’ll wait for a few months before I add new titles to it. And with that inconsequential introduction out of the way, it’s time for some reviews!

Guardians of the Galaxy #3 - Continuing the energy and unadulterated awesomeness of the first two issues, this issue is full to the brim with action, suspense, mystery, and fun. I’m getting used to the “debrief log” framing device, and I’m getting used to the idea that this group of characters is an actual team. Sure, most of the awesomeness comes from a talking raccoon with huge ass guns, but the other Guardians contribute to the fun too. Add the mystery of Starhawk and Vance Astrovik, an attack force running on prayer power, and a fascinating cliffhanger to the developing group dynamics, and you have yourself a solid read.

July 9, 2008

GOOD NEWS Charice fans / Divanatics!
After her outstanding performances on Ellen DeGeneres Show, Paul McGrady, Oprah, and just recently in David Foster and Friends concert in Mandalay Bay, our very own Charice (OMG, I’m so excited about this) is set to make another Pinoy mark to perform alongside the most renowned concerto artists in Andrea Bocelli’s “The Cinema Tribute” at the Theater of Silence of Lajatico, Italy.
The concert is scheduled on the 20th of July. This once a year occasion is extraordinarily one-of-a-kind experience for the audience because of the attractive outdoor and magically ambient atmosphere established by the open air theater built in Tuscany, where Andrea Bocelli hails.
Andrea Bocelli’s “The Cinema Tribute” will feature some of the world’s most memorable cinema musicale to be rendered by Noa, Nicolla Piovani , Roberto Bolle and Maestro Andrea Bocelli. Completing this set of world class performers will be the 16-year-old international singing sensation Charice Pempengco.
The stage will be open to the public for their rehearsals on the 19th.
Go girl! Make your fellow Pinoys prouder! Mabuhay ka Charice Pempengco!

Watch The Middleman and Be ROCKED
July 2, 2008
The Middleman is a new TV series based on a comic book by Javier Grillo-Marxuach. It’s about a secret agency that deals with “exotic problems” like talking gorillas, evil terracotta warriors, and vengeful luchadores. It sounds silly, but it’s a smart amalgamation of comedy and science fiction. I totally loved the first two episodes, and after I saw the third one, it dawned on me: This is quite possibly the most awesome TV show in the history of all that you know. I suggest you all watch the show and be ROCKED. If you need to be convinced, let me spoil the aforementioned third episode for you:
The Middleman (Matt Keeslar) is one swell guy, but he does need a helping hand once in a while. That’s where his trusty hot sidekick, Wendy (Natalie Morales), comes in.

Thor: Reign of Blood, Ended Runs, and Other Face-Rocking Comics
June 30, 2008
Yes, I’m bringing the noise back into this blog. And when I say “noise”, I mean “comic books and other geeky stuff”. I bought a lot of comics last week so I thought now’s the best time to force some comics goodness down your unsuspecting throats. Also, I just closed Face Rockery, so, yeah. There’s that. And here we go:

Thor: Reign of Blood - The second Thor one-shot from my current man-crush, Matt Fraction, has everything I loved about the first one. Violence! Trickery! Cruel gods! Sexy goddesses! All-around awesomeness! Seriously, Thor piloting the Blood Colossus to smite the vast army of the undead while it’s raining blood? That’s so bad ass it should be illegal.
