So That's the BIG Reason eBay has been promoting the new TRANSFORMERS movie on its' home page!
You'll see the connection right from the beginning of the movie which started yesterday! eBay has more than just product placement in the movie... but I don't want to spoil it for those that haven't seen the movie or comic book adaptation yet! This movie is rated PG-13. Steven Spielberg is Executive Producer of this movie... PLUS the Director is Michael Bay so there will be a lot of blow-'em-up action of course! The movie is a live-action theatrical film based on the 1980s cartoon about robotic aliens using Earth as a battleground! For those interested in 'Transformers' and other Toy based comics we have several of those comic books in our eBay Featured Comic Book Store ! Thanks for reading this popular culture / comic books blog post! Feel Free to Comment Below !! Michael
| The Transformers Had Many Comic Book Issues! |
In 5th Place This Weekend: Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer ! !
"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" subsided to the No. 5 spot at the weekend box office. The weekend's top films were: Ratatouille grossing $47.0 million Live Free Or Die Hard at $33.4 million Evan Almighty at $15.1 million '1408' at $10.7 million Fantastic Four 2 at $9.1 million
Note: Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is still hanging in there at #8 position with $5.0 million in ticket sales. Pirates 3 has been out for 6 weeks as of this past weekend.
For those that missed our earlier blog post when the FF movie first came out, I wanted to show those that were disappointed in the 'clouds' being the threat called 'Galactus' in the movie the 'real' Galactus. To the top right is the cover of issue #75 of the Fantastic Four comic book. The Silver Surfer is at the bottom right of the cover. Above him is the giant head of 'Galactus' who was personified as being a god-like being in the comics. Galactus was a couple hundred feet tall and not a 'cloud-like' being in the comics. Sometimes the producers or directors or writers of the movie just don't get it right or they think their audience will the comic book plot for the film is too 'comic-booky' !

| Overlooked Jimmy Olsen ? Jimmy Olsen, known as 'Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen' in the comic books has a long history! He first became a star in his own right when he received his own comic book back in Sept/Oct of 1954. The comic started as a bi-monthly but went to a monthly publication when better sales warranted. Jimmy, who we all know was 'the cub reporter for the Daily Planet', was also always getting into situations. Unlike Lois Lane who would get into serious trouble with Superman coming to save her.... Jimmy would get into a humorous situation, like the one in the comic to the left bottom below. He would be a Jungle Boy, a Boxer, a 'Superboy', an elastic superhero, a giant Jimmy, a turtle Jimmy, and on and on... Jimmy went thru that phase of comic books when they were sometimes bland, silly, and actually just fun reading with no change in continuity. However with the more realistic comics that kids later wanted, and then the grim and gritty era coming in, poor Jimmy just didn't make the grade anymore in his publisher's eyes! Poor Jimmy's comic book lasted for 163 issues until February 1974. His comic's title was changed to 'The Superman Family' where Jimmy was a role player... The 'Superman Family' comic book kept Jimmy's comic book numbering and ran from issue #164 to issue #222 ending in September 1982. The stories included adventures of Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Supergirl.... and even Jimmy! Today the mainstream public just thinks of Jimmy as that guy in the Superman movies with Christopher Reeve or the small appearance in Superman Returns, or the guy shown in the top left photo on the TV show Smallville, (Aaron Ashmore). Jimmy has come a long ways down in comic book status since the the late 1950's when he was a major star in his own right! For those interested in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen or other Superman comic books or DC Comics that feature Jimmy we have them listed in our eBay Featured Store !
