 Above is the Promo Image for the New TV Show!
  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3863 -    This blog could have been posted last week, when the trailer for the upcoming TV show was first released.  However, I've limited myself to blogging to no more than once a day at the most, and I have had a few other topics that came up for blogging before this one.

So... I first want to mention that the TV show that is written about in this Wikipedia entry, is one that I've already mentally bookmarked to watch during the 2013-2014 TV season!

That's because the trailer looks 'hot', and the info in the Wikipedia entry added to what the TV show should be about.

Being a long time comics fan of S.H.I.E.L.D.,  (started with Strange Tales #135 back in August of 1965), I've got to watch this show!  

Yeah, while I am not fond of Nick Fury being re-cast ethnically in the Marvel Films, (even though Samuel L Jackson did a good job in the films role), I've got a fondness for this strip when it was penciled by Jack Kirby, and then Jim Steranko!

So I'm suggesting that you look at the trailer, the Wikipedia entry, and whatever else you need to sell yourself into watching this TV show series!

Oh, and be sure to 'Like' the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Facebook fan page!

I should be back the beginning of the new TV season with my review blog on the Premiere episode.  The show is to be broadcast on ABC on Tuesday nights at 8PM.

Till then, Don't Yield... Back S.H.I.E.L.D!

~ Michael

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Shares His Take On The... 
 
Guinness World Records
Attempt For World's Largest Private Comics Collection That Took Place Saturday May 18th!
 

 
TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3862...
 
Well, I've got just a short blog to post today, on where my youngest son, Vinnie, and I travelled to on Saturday!
 
That would be in Orange County, California, where Bob Bretall lives.
 
Bob was last mentioned in my blog #3854, where I mentioned he was hosting a panel at the 2013 Long Beach Comic Con Expo on Saturday, May 11th.
 
The title of that panel was 'Building Your Comic Book Collection'. Bob mentioned during that panel that he was having an attempt to claim the Guinness World Records feat for having the largest private comics collection in the world.
 
Well, I just hadda attend that event!
 
So here are photos from that event on Saturday.  You'll see photos of his 89,613 different comic books collection here and at the special photo album I've posted at my Facebook Fan Page.
 
Bob also had 7 long boxes of comics that were duplicates of his collection that he gave away during the day to 43 attendees.  That amounted to approximately 33 comics per attendee!
 
Bob Bretall also has a new web site titled 'Comic Spectrum', which I invite you to check out. Here is the link to his blog post on what happened yesterday.
 
That should do it for this blog post.  I'll keep you updated at my Facebook Fan Page, Michael D Hamersky On Comics on the success of Bob's Attempt on making the Guinness World Record, after the authorities award him the record!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents Tina LoSasso's Review of The 
 
Star Trek
Into Darkness Film!
 
  
 alt=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3861 -    Today's blog is guest blogged by my wife, Tina LoSasso! (Pictured at the top left photo.)

Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

WARNING: if you haven't seen Star Trek Into Darkness, this review contains mild spoilers.

As the title indicates, this second installment in the J.J. Abrams reboot of Star Trek is darker. What exactly is darker? Is it the villian? Is it the setting? The events? The motivations? I leave it for you to decide for yourself. For me, it was humanity. But don't worry, this is after all, Star Trek and we still have the five year mission of peaceful exploration that is the Original Series ahead of us, assuming the timeline is intact. Of course after Abrams' prequel maybe I shouldn't even mention "timeline". My apologies, purists.

Unlike previous movies in the franchise, Star Trek Into Darkness pits Kirk and crew against a human threat, a bio-engineered one, but human nonetheless. After a terrorist destroys a secret Star Fleet facility hidden under the Kelvin Archives (a nod to J.J. Abrams' grandfather), the Star Fleet command convenes to deal with the threat. Apparently Kirk never saw Godfather III. He realizes too late that When you've been attacked, never gather everyone in the same room...in a high story building...with really big windows. In this case, a gunship manned by our terrorist villian does the job. Kirk and the Enterprise is then dispatched to terminate him in his Klingon hiding place.

This leads to a scene that will thrill Star Trek fans the world over -- Uhura conversing with a Klingon warrior. I've never heard so much extended Klingon dialogue since I stumbled into that Klingon play at San Diego Comic Con. For the rest of you, no worries, there are sub-titles.

I mention the Klingons only to point out that there's very little in the way of non-human characters in this Star Trek. Aside, of course from Spock, the aforementioned Klingons and assorted aliens of the Enterprise crew (it felt a bit like the  Star Wars cantina - forgive me, I had to say it), that was pretty much it for aliens after the opening scene. All of which serves to keep us focused on the emotional elements of the story.

The cast does a commendable job of reintroducing us to the younger versions of themselves that we met in the previous film. Not an easy task. The jokes already out. We've already seen young Kirk, Bones, Scotty, Chekov, Uhura, and Zachary Quinto's amazing Spock. Instead we see more of their mannerisms, how they bond, and how they become the crew of the Original Series. It's good stuff. For me, the most fun of the movie.

If the crew doesn't hook you, then this Star Trek movie's villian, well played by BBC Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch, will. I hate to name his character because that might ruin some of the fun for you. But suffice it to say, I kept wondering if that coat he ran around in was made of rich Corithian leather. Cumberbatch is fun to watch and his character is an interesting twist for a Sci-Fi villian and fun foil for Kirk.

I enjoyed Star Trek Into Darkness. It was much less Sci-Fi than the previous prequel. At the same time, there were plot points I could see a few light years ahead. (Although they did fool me with Kirk insisting that Chekov change into a red shirt; I kept thinking he'd be a goner.) Happily for me and perhaps you, Star Trek into Darkness focuses on the human element in Sci-Fi which makes us care about what happens to the crew and manages to set us up nicely for the Original Series.

Rating: 8.5 (Very Fine Plus) VF+ out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale.

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On... 
 
Star Trek Into Darkness!
 
  
 alt=
 Above is just One of the many film posters that the Star Trek Into Darkness film has out! Featuring (l-r) Captain Kirk, Lt. Uhura, 1st Officer Spock & Commander John Harrison!
  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3860 -    Tina and I just got back from seeing this film at our local theater!

Tina's review blog will be posted later this weekend...

In the meantime, here is My Take on the film:

First of all, here is the link to the Wikipedia entry for the film.  If you don't want to see spoilers... Then don't click on the link!

Secondly, it has been four years since the first Star Trek reboot, (film #11).  Here is the link to to that Wikipedia entry for that film.  I for one just saw most of that film earlier this week on TV, and didn't remember most of what was shown.   It has been that long since the first one was released!  So, I wasn't overly excited to go see this second film.   Matter of fact, it wasn't even in my list of events for 2013 I was going to.  But I did 'bug' Tina about going to see it this week!

Oh, and also while I say I wasn't that excited about seeing this film, I have already seen the first eleven (11) films of the Star Trek franchise, as seen in this link.  It was just that this film kind of snuck up on me when laying out the films I wanted to see on the Big Screen this year at my 2013 events blog.

Thirdly... Here's what I thought about the film...

Storyline:  This film dove right into the story... No stopping to introduce the characters at all.  Which if you have already seen the 11th film of the Franchise, you didn't need any introductions!

The storyline was presented in what I believed to be episodic mini-features, which was okay with me! The storyline didn't ramble though, and went from scene to scene pretty smoothly.  The writing was fine, and the characters were voiced properly.

I still can't get over the 'romance' between Uhura and Spock though...

The CGI in the film didn't overwhelm the storyline, it all fit in rather seamlessly.

The ending was pretty good too... And the film didn't feel 'overlong' at 2 hours & 3 minutes.  However our theater showed 25 minutes of 'previews' of upcoming films, sheesh! 

Characters:  The characters were repeats from the first film in this reboot.  I liked them all, but some more than others.  Quinto as Spock was so darn right on it wasn't funny!

Chris Pine still didn't seem totally right for the Capt. Kirk role though.  By the end of the film he was better, and maybe a third film with him would fit him properly into the role.  But then again, I grew up with William Shatner as Capt. Kirk.

Zoe Saldana was better as Uhura... And was actually more believable in this film in the role.

Karl Urban as Lieutenant Commander Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, chief medical officer, was even better in the role in this film, and he actually received more film time, I believe.

John Cho as Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu, third officer and helmsman, had a good scene in the film, when he took over the Captain's chair.

Benedict Cumberbatch as Commander John Harrison, later revealed to be someone else, couldn't have matched up to the original actor that played the role... but did a serviceable job in the role.

Anton Yelchin as Ensign Pavel Chekov, navigator, was kind of out of the role for this film, but he did play in a different arena of the ship, so I won't be too hard on him.

Simon Pegg as Lieutenant Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, second officer and chief engineer, played a good role in this film.  More believable in the role.

Bruce Greenwood as Rear Admiral Christopher Pike, was good as always.  I like this actor, and he did the Pike role very well.

Peter Weller, as Starfleet Admiral Alexander Marcus, Dr. Carol Marcus' father, did an okay role in the film, which was expanded at the end of the film.  I liked him better in his two RoboCop film though.

The characters in the film fit pretty smoothly into the storyline, and it was worth the money paid to see the film on the Big Screen!   

My comic book grade for this film is a Near Mint Minus (NM-) 9.2    out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale.

If you enjoy Star Trek, or JJ Abrams work... Then you gotta see this film on the Big Screen!

Oh, and as soon as Tina has her review ready... I'll blog it!

~ Michael

October 20th                  So Cal Comic Con - to be held in Oceanside, California.  The Con's promoters have set up the date, as of this blog's re-posting on April 15th.  I've attended the first three of these cons.  Even sat up a table at the 2nd one!

November 1 - 2 - 3          ComiKaze Expo in Los Angeles.  This is a possiblity. I've attended the first two cons held at the LA Convention Center.

 Also, if you are a Facebook member, I would have liked you to send me a 'Friend Request'. However, I have reached the maximum limit of 5,000 Facebook Friends and Fan pages already, so I've added a New 'Facebook Fan Page' so that even more of YOU can 'Like' what I am doing, and be interactive with me and others there.  Here is the link to that 'Facebook Fan Page': Michael D Hamersky On Comics! Please click the 'Like' button on that page!

In Addition, I started a YouTube Channel just before the 2011 Comic-Con International, where I am slowly uploading videos from conventions or other events that we attend that are also pop culture related.  You are invited to 'subscribe' to that channel also!  As found at 'HamerskyOnComics'!
