Michael D Hamersky On Comics Announces That... Thanks to eBay, There Is A Year End Clearance Sale At ComicBooksCircus.com - The BIG TOP of Comics!  (December 30th of 2011 - January 5th of 2012!)       - Pics this column:  The logo for ComicBooksCircus.com - The Big Top of Comics! - and The Circus Train Is Coming to Town - Plus A Half Dozen Elephants are here to help move the comics / magazines / DVDs / toys / books / out for the 2011 Year End Clearance Sale! - Top Photo Left Column:  Michael D Hamersky & Tina LoSasso at the eBay Live 2005 event in San Jose! -

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3573:

I was going to post this tomorrow in my blog, which is the reason for using the 'Friday Newsletter' photo to the left... But I just couldn't wait to give my blog readers a special heads up that...

ComicBooksCircus.com is taking advantage of the three day listing sale for auction listings that eBay is running December 27th - 28th - 29th!

How?  By listing auction listings starting at only 99 cents on up for auction listings that are ending three to seven days after they are listed in the eBay Store that ComicBooksCircus.com's domain name is re-directed to!

So from December 30th (tomorrow!) through January 5th, YOU can take advantage of this listing sale!

Of course you can preview the auction listings right now, as they are 'live' at ComicBooksCircus.com!

Please note:  There is a 'shipping special' for raw unslabbed comic books!  $3.95 S&H is all that I ask for shipping 1 to 100 comics to USA addresses.  I repeat:  $3.95 S&H for raw unslabbed comic books only!

No CGCd slabbed comics for this shipping special.  Also, if you 'mix' comics with graphic novels, books, toys, DVDs, etc., I can still combine shipping, but the S&H charge would be more, as they are odd shaped with different page counts.  The total weight is usually heavier, and I have to use odd sized shipping boxes or envelopes to ship them.  Please message me through eBay's message program for S&H costs!

Also, due to a fraudulent claim with PayPal earlier this year, I no longer ship outside of the USA anymore, UNLESS the potential buyer pays for a shipping format that has tracking.  That form of shipping unfortunately is very expensive, so shipping inexpensive comics out of the country just isn't cost effective normally for the buyer.  I only ship via USPS, and the most current rates are shown at a special note page within my Facebook Fan Page for 'Michael D Hamersky On Comics'. Again, my apologies for the higher shipping charges shown there, but I can no longer afford to ship using PayPal as payment without abiding by PayPal's policy on chargebacks, after that major fradulent claim from a buyer in Argentina. 

However, for those of YOU that are in the USA, or are in Canada or Mexico with access to a USA shipping destination, now is the time to purchase those items you are missing from your collection, or didn't buy when they first came out to read!

Again, this is the link to ComicBooksCircus.com, where I invite you to shop our Year End Clearance Sale that is happening right now, thanks to eBay!

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season... Soon it will be 2012!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Wishes... Stan Lee, A Happy 89th Birthday!  (Born December 28th, 1922)      - Photo this column: Stan Lee at the August 1998 Comic-Con International: San Diego, aka San Diego Comic Con, signing my copy of the Comic Book Marketplace #61 that cover featured Stan in July of 1998! - Top Photo Left Column:  A close up of the Comic Book Marketplace #61 issue, that was cover dated July of 1998.

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3572:

It's my annual 'Happy Birthday' Blog Card to Stan Lee! 

Stan turns 89 this year, and is still going strong in the world of comics, as seen at the recent Nuke the Fridge Con held in the City of Industry, California, where I set up a book signing table.  As seen at this special photo album: 2011 Nuke the Fridge Con Photo Album.

In addition, I have Stan Lee meeting Mike Tyson in a video upload as filmed at the same Nuke the Fridge Con, as seen here before the meet, and here during the actual 'duking' it out!

Stan Lee has was the First of those who I've listed as being one of those... "Whom I Am Thankful For", along with Engineer Bill, Sheriff John, Fess Parker, Jack Kirby, Shel Dorf, and Annette Funicello, in my annual Thanksgiving Blog. As seen in this cumulative blog post #3553 from the 2011 Thanksgiving blog! 

Of course everyone by know should know who Stan Lee is... But if you don't, here's a pretty good background wiki on Stan Lee in the Wikipedia web site.

Plus here's a link to Google, where there are now over 2,700 listing of just this Blog referencing him! 

Talking about numbers... Are you aware that there are over 36,740 credits attributed to Stan Lee at the Grand Comics DataBase, (GCD)?  What a prolific writer Stan has been throughout the years!

I shared one of the photos from the 1998 SDCC above at the top right, and here's another one from 1998 where Stan was signing another of my Fantastic Four comics, which is my favorite title that he co-created years ago back in 1961!

I've been fortunate enough to meet Stan several times during the years, mostly at Southern California comic cons.

The sheer mass of people nowadays at these conventions that want to meet Stan keeps the one-on-one aspect to a bare minimum.  As the recent autograph session at the Nuke the Fridge Con entitled an attendee an opporutunity to have an item autograph signed, and that was about it.  However, Stan, at 88 years of age, didn't take a signing break, but instead kept signing away until the last attendee with an autograph ticket was taken care of!  Now that's Stan (THE MAN!) Lee for ya!

My sincere wishes to Stan to have another great birthday today... And to keep it up!  You are truly loved by your Legions of Fans!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics & Tina LoSasso Review... Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol (aka M:I:IV!)      - Photo this column: Tina LoSasso & Michael D Hamersky outside of the Regal Cinemas Theaters after watching the Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol Film! - Top Photo Left Column:  An early teaser film poster... When it was set to be released May 5th, and known as M:I:IV!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3571:

It's Christmas Night... After we both took in a film on Christmas Day.  Which has turned out to be part of our annual celebration of Christmas for us.  No matter if we are home like this year, or on a year end vacation last like year!

This year, Tina chose the film.  Which was actually in the genre of films that she likes to watch this time of year.  Since there wasn't any 'James Bond' film out, she chose 'Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol'. 

My other choice was 'Sherlock Holmes -  A Game of Shadows'.  However, after seeing the first of this new series of films, she wasn't interested, even though it had Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.!  The first one was too 'Wild, Wild, West' like for her tastes!

Here's Tina's 'Take' on the film we just watched, which will be posted tomorrow, Monday:

Review: Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

Outside of the MI franchise, I haven't enjoyed Tom Cruise in a movie since 'The Firm'. Not a big  or even a little Tom Cruise fan. But I never miss the crazy ride of Mission Impossible and 'MI4: Ghost Protocol' delivers this Christmas.

These are the darkest days for Ethan's team since Mr. Phelps went bad in the first flick. Yet, this movie isn't bleak. In fact, strangely enough it has several strangely feel-good moments. I attribute this to the involvement of Brad Bird (The Incredible, UP). In particular, the end of the movie felt like the end of the franchise with all the summing up and pseudo happy ending.

If you've seen the ads, you know that the President invokes "ghost protocol" disavowing MIF when Ethan Hunt is set up to take the fall for the bombing of the Kremlin. With the US and former Soviet Union at the brink of nuclear war, Ethan and his new team are on the hunt for stolen nuclear launch codes and a mad nuclear strategist who's gone over to the dark side.

Why do we fork over our movie dollars to catch every MI movie on the big-screen? Action scenes, in particular, crazy Tom Cruise action scenes. If you're like me, you won't be disappointed. In fact, you'll probably yell out loud in shock at least once. And, possibly, claw your arm rest and be on the edge or your seat (literally) for several minutes as Michael was - technically, he was at the edge of my seat. Tom Cruise scaling the world's tallest building in Dubai is gripping stuff. Tom Cruise on crack, on Oprah's couch, crazy action stuff.

Ethan's new team misses the banter of the old team. Simon Pegg as Benji carries the load, here and makes the movie enjoyable. Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) lays an analyst (or is he?) who conveniently answers the mystery of Ethan's wife (or does he?).

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: watch this move on the big-screen. Don't think about it too much, just enjoy the crazy action.

My rating: 9.0 VERY FINE / NEAR MINT (VF/NM) out of a 10.0 comic book grading scale.

~Tina LoSasso

Okay... Since it was Tina's choice of film to see, I thought I would present her 'Take' on the film first.  Now it's 'My Take':

First... I knew from the trailers that if we were going to see this film, we would benefit from seeing it on the BIG SCREEN, even though we have a decent sized TV set at home.

We have seen all four of the 'new' Mission Impossible films with Tom Cruise, although the first one with Mr. Phelps disappointed me with the twists that came about.  But I didn't let that stop me from seeing this film with Tina!  Besides the first one was back in 1996!  Here is the link to the Wikipedia entry for the series... Be aware that are multiple spoilers in that wiki entry!

And yes, there are now plans for a 5th entry in this series... Due to the commercial success (so far) of this film!

I'm showing a film poster of actress Paula Patton as Agent Jane Carter for my choice of featured actor.  Yes, the other actors did a fine job in the film, but too often the lead female character is too pretty or too demure to have a good onscreen prescence as Paula did. She was believeable as an IMF agent, and looked darn good in evening dress for that scene!

Tom Cruise was fine once again as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, as he has been in the previous films.

Seeing Josh Holloway as Agent Trevor Hanaway was fun.  I enjoyed his role in the 'LOST' TV show series... Which is his tie-in with J.J. Abrams, who is co-producer of this film.

Jeremy Renner as William Brandt, IMF Secretary's chief analyst, did a fine job, and I liked the way he was used in the film. But no spoiler alert here!

(Addendum:  Except that at Christmas Dinner, that we just finished 7:15 PM Sunday night... Tina told me that Jeremy Renner plays Clint Barton / Hawkeye in the upcoming 2012 Avengers film!  WoW!  That makes me even more excited about the 2012 film, as I can see Jeremy playing Hawkeye now!)!

Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, an IMF technical field agent and part of Hunt's team was used quite effectively.

Vladimir Mashkov as Anatoly Sidorov, a Russian intelligence operative following Hunt and his team played a key role in the film.  Plus did a fine job of doing it!

Léa Seydoux as Sabine Moreau, a French assassin for hire, played a key role in the film, but didn't have much screen time, or so it seemed to me.

It was nice seeing Tom Wilkinson as the IMF Secretary again! I like the continuation of that character in the series!

The storyline kept me on the edge of my seat in the theater!

Seriously! As Tina could tell you! I loved the action scenes of the hotel in Dubai! Great!

So were a lot of other scenes in Europe, Dubai, and Mumbai in India! Beautiful photography, and no wasted scenes! Well, until the end of the movie... Which after a very fast paced film from start till that point... It seemed an awkward way of stopping the film. Good thing for the very final scene!

Due to the slowness at the end, except for the next to final scene, I'm giving this film a Comic Book Grade of NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) 9.2 out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale.

But... This film has to be seen in the theater on the BIG SCREEN to truly appreciate the work that has gone into it!

And yes, you may be wondering.. Where is the comic book connection to this film? Well, there isn't a 'direct tie-in', just that I enjoyed reading and collecting the Mission Impossible comics books that were printed years ago when the MI TV Show was on! Here's a link to those via the GCD (Grand Comics Database) web site. Please note, there were five issues published by Dell Comics from May of 1967 - October of 1969.

Plus, if you are okay with knowing too much about the film before going, to see what else in it, you could read the stand alone Wikipedia entry for this 4th Mission Impossible film.  But if not, the whole entry is a spoiler alert!!

Hope you all had as much fun on Christmas Day as we did going to the movies!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Reviews... Gopher-It Productions The Comic Strip Collection: Volume 1 Special Edition By Ambrose Quantilla IV      - - Photos this column - Top:  Ambrose Quintilla IV and son Ambrose V at their table at the 2011 Long Beach Comic Con (LBCC) with a copy of Gopher-It Productions The Comic Strip Collection: Volume 1 Special Edition. - Bottom: Michael D Hamersky recieving his sketch card as a gift for 'Liking' the Facebook Fan Page for Gopher-It Productions, and clicking the 'attending' link at the event page! - Top Photo Left Column:  A Close Up of The Front Cover to the reviewed comic book.  Right click on the comic to see a larger size pic!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3569:

I knew ahead of time that I wanted to stop at the Gopher-It Productions table at the 2011 Long Beach Comic Con (LBCC)!

That's because I had clicked the 'Like' button at the Facebook Fan Page, and clicked the 'attending' link at the event page.  Always nice to be rewarded for doing so!  So I made sure to have Ambrose's table number circle on my list to stop at!

In addition I checked out his Special Edition which is the print format from his web comic. Ambrose had made the decision to put into print what he had previously published on line for free. Which is one way to capitalize on all the hard work in producing an online comic strip.

So what's this comic book all about? Here's what the creator / publisher has for the promo info:

Written and Illustrated by Ambrose Quintanilla IV
 
Standard Comic
 Full Color
 Page Count: 32
 POD
 
Enter the world of cartoonist Ambrose Quintanilla IV as he takes you on a fun filled ride through his mind with five different comic strip titles based on Pop Culture, Corny Jokes, Funny Animals, Married Life and the adventures of a Dad & his son. The collection not only brings together the best of the first year of comics from the facebook.com/Gopherit fanpage but contains four exclusive full page comic strips as well as eight exclusive pages of material just for this Special Edition.

Gopher-It Productions - The Comic Strip Collection: Volume 1 Special Edition collects web comic strips from Ambrose Quintanilla IV's facebook fan page at facebook.com/Gopherit along with eight pages of bonus material.
 

So what did I think of it?

Well... The front cover definitely caught my eyes!  As there appeared to be quite a few features inside, judging from that cover!

Turning that cover over to the inside front cover showed that Ambrose had his act together... Because he provided an introduction to himself, as well as what was in store for purchasers of the comic book.

What would have been the 'splash page' of the comic book, was actually used as one of the strips for 'Me & The Kid' feature. The next few pages were from the same series of the strip.

Then there were four pages from the strip 'Hitched'.  Followed by two pages of 'Severe Head Trauma'.  Then two pages of 'Ferret Island', and other features.

With this as the 'Special Edition', there were eight additional pages of content.

I found this compilation of strips being published in hard copy to be a fun read!  I'm glad that Ambrose showed those features in special illustrations on the front cover, to give an idea of what was inside!

My comic book grade for this comic book is a VERY FINE / NEAR MINT (VF/NM) 9.0 out of a 10.0 comic book grading scale. 

Here is the link to purchase a copy of the 32 page Special Edition.

Here is the link to purchase a copy of the 24 page standard edition.

Here is the link to the Facebook Fan Page for Gopher-It Productions.

Lastly, this is the link to the web site for Gopher It Comics.

BTW, Ambrose used my photo of him and myself shown above at this blog post, plus others from elsewhere at his Long Beach Comic Con photo album at his web site, as seen here in this link.

My thanks again to Ambrose for bringing this comic book of his to my attention at the 2011 Long Beach Comic Con!  A great idea to have Facebookers come and stop by your table for a free sketch card!  I have used the same method for my clients this year also!
