Here are a photo from June 15. That's Viv, Ziad, me and Mike. Enjoy. Finally, my profile pic updated.












Well, I have been watching some FIFA World Cup Football 2006 lately. Who to cheer for? Not sure, I really hope England gets through. Looks like France won't.

Spider-Man revealing his identity in Civil War #2. I hope Marvel Comics makes it good. There seems to be a good and bad point to Spidey revealing himself.

How Wonderful

Well, another comic talk this week. The comic I like to blog about is Wonder Woman #1. DC relaunched it this week and so far, it has been "wonderful." The writer on the helm is former OC writer, Allan Heinberg. The art is drawn by Terry Dodson.

Well, here's the response I had with Allan Heinberg from MySpace. I gotta say, thank you George Strumboloupolos for plugging MySpace like crazy. I have been using MySpace for awhile, but I never realized that celebrities are using it. Here's my response.
"I got a chance to flip thru it and I gotta say that it's "wonderful." :)
Oh yeah, I bought 2 copies. One for myself and another for a friend who doesn't know he's getting it. :)
I kind of regret not getting Young Avengers due to being skeptical, but gave it to my friend. My friend totally loved Young Avengers, plus he's an OC fan as well.
I read Young Avengers before giving it to my friend. I gotta say that it's great. At least, I hope Marvel puts it out on oversized hardcover, then I will be happy instead.
The sad part is that my friend is going off to Boston for law school in August. So, I will be picking up the slack and getting your comic work. :D
Looking forward to Young Avengers Season 2 next year.

Last thing, I wanted to get the Adam Kubert variant, but it could be expensive because the owner prices it at over $10 or $20 Canadian. "

Here's Allan Heinberg's response:
Dude, you're too nice to me. (I love it.) :)

And I'm hoping for that oversized hardcover, myself. I'll let you know via MySpace if it happens.

Thanks, man.

-- Heinberg

Last point, I am soooooo sad that CBC News: The Hour with George Strumboloupolos had it's "season finale." I also "wonder" if George picked up Wonder Woman #1.

What A Wednesday

Oh boy, I missed The Hour on Wednesday. For some reason, I had to record Gameshow Marathon. Hey, it's the Price Is Right and I grew up watching it.
On Tuesday night, I went to the Canadian Museum of Civlization for CBC's Foreign Correspondent Forum. It was great and informative. I just hope I am not shown in the crowd for tonight's airing on CBC Newsworld. I was able to get Peter Mansbridge's signature. I wanted to ask him about George Strumbo, but I couldn't think of a question linking to George. I only asked him if he uses an iPod and he does. LOL
I missed Wednesday's edition of The Hour and George talked to Adrienne Arsenault as part of CBC's Foreign Correspondents Week. Damn, I missed it.

Comic picks for me are Runaways #16, Ultimate Fantastic Four #30 and Superman/Batman #26(got 2 copies, I hope my friend is not reading this blog)
Plus, I picked up Son of #6 for my friend as well.
What's special about Superman/Batman #26? Well, it's a tribute to a boy who passed away in 2005. It was Jeph Loeb's son, Sam. He had a 3 year battle with cancer. I know I have been talking to an employee at The Comic Book Shoppe and he told he's not really a big fan of Jeph Loeb(for non comic fans, he did Teen Wolf starring Michael J. Fox) because his storytelling is awful. I never knew that Jeph Loeb is an awful writer. I kept that thought for so long with the notion that he is a bad writer. His son wrote a story featuring Robin and Superboy, but he was not able to finish it up because of his illness from cancer. What I liked about that issue is that it features 26 people on the comic. 11 writers and 15 artists on it to help finish Sam Loeb's story. It was a nice and fitting story. I won't criticize or be negative on it, I bought for what it's worth, the notion of reading for enjoyment.
I hope my friend will understand it when I give him that issue. Don't worry about the money and etc. Just keep it. No matter what, I am still getting you some comics as a surprise before you leave to Beantown, I mean B-Town, I mean BosSox Nation, I totally mean Boston.

Short Update

Sorry for the lack of updates. Still haven't recovered from not catching up because my friend didn't get his comics(ie. 52).
I only picked up a graphic novel, Loveless Vol. 1 from Vertigo Comics for May 24, 2006.

Lost season finale. I wonder what will happen. Before Lost, I hope to watch CBC News: The Hour. Just hope it does not conflict my tv watching schedule.

X-Men: The Last Stand, I can't wait until Friday, although I'm worried it might be not good. *crosses fingers*

Just in case you didn't know, I updated a previous entry, here's the link http://wildworks.blogspot.com/2006/05/choosing-sides-updated-may-24.html Just comment who you choose, since there is a "bigger" playing field. :)

Summer Movies Have Started

OK, it's not Summer yet, but the hype of certain movies have started. I watched "The DaVinci Code" and my response is not excellent, nor bad. I had no clue what to say about the movie. I felt there was not any excitment.
Up next will be X-Men: The Last Stand. Yes, I am a big X-Men fan and I wonder what comic is based on. Since, the 2nd movie was based on "God Loves, Man Kills", which people did not know much about. It's an obscure comic from Marvel, based on their Graphic Novel series back in the 1980s.
I'm finally back in full swing with movies because last year, the only movie of 2005 that I watched was Batman Begins.
So far, The DaVinci Code did not excite me. I hope X-Men: The Last Stand will excite me.

Sorry for the lack of entry because my plan in meeting up my buddy(you know who you are) was changed and pushed back. So, I didn't want to leak out DC's weekly maxi-series, 52 to him.

Hmmmm, I wonder what George Strumbolopoulos of CBC News: The Hour would think of the movie come Monday on The Hour. :D Just a shameless plug and easy search if The Hour gang will find.
I also wonder if George watched any of the May sweeps...season finale and series finale of shows like Will & Grace and That '70s Show.
Short update: I am wondering if George watched "The DaVinci Code." What would be his thoughts of the movie. I totally wasn't pleased by it. That's all I can think because I had an idea on my blog on what to say about The Hour and my mind just went blank.

I have been watching the season finales of tv shows like the Law & Order series, Crossing Jordan, and etc. Am I hooked? Probably not, just bored. :)

Tried Out 2 New Chips

Even though, I was not feeling well on a Saturday, I managed to go out for grocery shopping. Being a curious consumer, there were 2 new chip flavours. One was Dorito's Sweet Chili Heat and the other was Miss Vickie's Roasted Red Pepper Grill.
Both of the chip seemed alright, but it wasn't good for my tongue since I can't stand HOT or spicy.
The Doritos tasted sweet in the beginning but burned my tongue. The Miss Vickie's Red Pepper almost burned my tongue. All in all, they were alright, but hot flavours cannot be good for me.

Choosing Sides - Updated May 24

To anyone reading this, which side do you choose? Updated with added silliness. Found it on a message board. Sorry for the "stealing" :)

Old Event, New Event

Since one "big" event has ended, another new "big" event has come. That's right, Infinite Crisis #7 from DC Comics concludes while Marvel brings in their Civil War.
So far, I don't know what to say about the two comics. It's very difficult to explain since a friend is sick, while other buddies are occupied and one is away.
I need...assistance....please.
Just read The Exterminators #5 and boy, it was hilarious.
Well, there will be Free Comic Book Day this Saturday. That should give me some good motivation if I meet with my friend if he's well.
Second last point, I still haven't figure out how to theme my blog. It has been more about comics. So, I hope to mix it once in awhile.

Last point, it was shown on BKV's forum, here's the image I took on Tuesday. From the convention. A sketch from Runaways artist, Adrian Alphona

In Toronto

Yep, I am in "hated" TO. :)
So far, the first day of the Toronto Comicon was pretty good, but the size is left to be desired.
I got a chance to get autographs from Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner and etc.
It was pretty heavy having to carry books. Ugh.
I'm kind of tired. Phew.

Civil War....Countdown

Tick tock to Mr. Kevin C.....it is coming.

No video update for this week.
Comics I got this week are Astonishing X-Men #14, Runaways #15 and Ultimate Fantastic Four #29.

Off to Toronto on Friday for the Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon.

Happy, Crazy Monday

Even though I ended my final exam and I want to not think about it. All in all, I had a good day after the exam, I was listening to CRHK(881903.com) and the DJ got my question to ask Taiwanese singer, Lee-Hom Wang. I was happy that he answered.
Then at night, I was watching CBC News: The Hour, I sent a message to George Strumboloupolos about Marvel Comics and he responded right away. I was like, "Whoa!"
I'm just happy that I got things responded all on Monday. :)
(Update April 26): I thought that no one was probably watching The Hour back on Easter Monday. I'm surprised that George knows and is interested about comics. The rumor I wrote to him, George said it with enthusiam. That was mighty cool. I also know that George is 'rasslin fan. I am still a wrestling fan. George seems to be a fan of everything.

Spider-Man to possibly reveal his identity in 'Civil War' has not sunk in my mind yet. I don't think it's important to me, but it's a "wait & see" approach.
Last thing was knowing about superheroes and religion gave me a better perspective on the character, except for Superman. Several days later from The Hour broadcast, I had a discussion about Superman's religion. One person told me he's not, it's based on the writer's perspective.

Update April 26: Somehow, I am linked on The Hour's website, http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/ Thanks George and The Hour team.
Please have the video up soon.

Monday Exam...Last One

Live@Carleton April 5 Final Edition for the Season

This is it! I am writing this entry for final time in the regular school year. Writing at the tunnels near the Carleton U Library.
I dunno if it's bittersweet, but I have one more year of Carleton to hopefully finish up.
The odd thing about today that it's still snowing. It's suppose to be Spring.
Comics this week, lots of it. Infinite Crisis #6, Planetary #25, and The Exterminators #4. Whoa man, lots of good reads.

Remembering Leslie Cheung - April 1, 2003

It's been 3 years since Leslie Cheung left fans throughout Hong Kong and all over the world. Everytime I listen to his song, I would feel sad because he is no longer around. I still remember that morning where I was woken up by my brother and I thought it was a joke, but I later realized it was true. Here's some images that I wanted to put up.
On Thursday, I was listening to CRHK(881903.com) and their overnight program, the DJ played Leslie Cheung songs and interviews. He also read messages from people on the message board on the radio station's website. Somehow, he read my message and I was just happy.
Sites to look up are http://www.lesliecheung.cc/
Leslie Cheung Profile on IMDB.com.

Live@Carleton March 29...Second Last Edition For The Season

This is probably the second last entry of the season since the Winter term at Carleton University is finishing up.
Alright, it's a very nice day today.
Comic talk. My picks are All-Star Superman #3, New Avengers: The Illuminati and the mighty hardcover, Alias Omnibus.
I hope to do a short write up on the comics.

New Pics

I posted up new pics on my brand spanking new webpage. Here's the link, http://wildworks.googlepages.com/
