The Pull List #7 - Pull List Goes Hawaiian [Review]

Did you know there was at one time a proposed sequel to Tim Burton's Beetlejuice titled, I kid you not, Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian? I don't know about you, but I'm not sure if Beetlejuice would've benefited from a tropical setting.

(What does this have to do with the 3-month gap between installments of The Pull List? Nothing at all.)

Buh-WHAT?! A Trailer for a Deadpool Game?! [SDCC 2012]

The trailer for an upcoming Deadpool game was released durning Comic-Con yesterday, and it is nothing but pure awesomeness. Be warned, though... it's a bit NSFW.

Fox is Ready for a Fantastic Four Movie Reboot, Director and Writer Sign On

With the success of Amazing Spider-Man, the Avengers franchise, and Ghost Rider II: The Spirit of Vengeance (OK, maybe not that last one), it was only a matter of time until Hollywood took another look at "Marvel's First Family."

Reports surfaced earlier this week that Josh Trank (Chronicle) has been hired to direct the upcoming Fantastic Four movie reboot, but now it looks like Fox has found a writer as well. Jeremy Slater, who has two films in pre-production but no fiished film credits, is being looked at to pen the film.

Director Drops Daredevil Reboot, Rights May Go Back to Marvel

Reports have been circulating today that director David Slade has dropped the upcoming Daredevil comic movie reboot, due to scheduling issues with filming the pilot episode of NBC's Hannibal. This means that Fox needs to find a director and get the film into production before fall, or risk having the popular property revert back to Marvel (and therefore Disney).

With the not-so-great track record Fox has had with the Daredevil franchise, I wouldn't be surprised if they let this one go back to Marvel. The big question (at least the biggest one on my mind anyways) is how this will effect Marvel's tentative film plans leading up to Avengers 2, and whether or not Daredevil will be included in the major crossovers.

Marvel Vs. Capcom: Origins Smashes Two '90s Fighters Together in One Downloadable Package

Remember '90s arcade fighters (you know, when arcades were still a thing) Marvel Super Heroes and the original Marvel Vs. Capcom? Well regardless if you do or not, Capcom is bringing both of them back from the dead and selling them to you together via XBLA and PSN.  Wondering if there's anything new in the package? Well the press release has a little list of things.

"GGPO-enhanced online play with 8-player lobbies and spectator mode, HD graphical upgrades, dynamic challenges and replay saving."

So it sounds like they're adding online multiplayer, throwing some HD filters over the original graphics in an attempt to make them look "better" and adding some meta-game-y achievement style stuff (you can see them on the sides in the screenshots).  Anyway if this appeals to you and you love giving money to Capcom for their constant ports, hit the jump for a video and screens!  OK, I'm being overly snarky, MSH and MVC are both good games, but this to me seems like Capcom cashing in on the popularity of the Avengers and Spiderman movies but without, you know, actually making a new game.

The Pull List # 5 - Pull List Strikes Back [Review]

Hey everyone! Welcome back to The Pull List! Would you believe I started this article THREE WEEKS AGO?

Judging by my track record with this article series, I'd imagine that yes, yes you would believe it. But whatever, I have some good stuff for you this week, including a few new editions to DC's New 52 experiment (New-New 52? Sounds like a line from Dr. Seuss). So let's read some comics!

The Pull List #4 - "The One Where Pull List Fights The Russian" [Review]

Howdy everyone! I'm coming in under the gun with The Pull List this week, and so I don't have time think up a witty opening paragraph. Click the button and LET'S GET TO IT!

The Pull List #2 - “Electric Boogaloo” [Review]

 

I'm going to be completely honest, I almost skipped this week's installment of The Pull List. You see, I have been fighting a real killer cold for the last week or so. Headaches, neck aches, nose and throat full of gunk... it's really effected my mood in new and interesting (and when I say interesting, I mean mostly negative) ways. But here I am, ready to review six randomly selected comic books from my weekly subscriptions. And why am I doing this, when I could have just as easily knocked myself out with some cold medicine and fallen asleep while watching reruns of Family Matters? For you, dear readers. All six of you.

Anyway, you're here, I'm sick... let's get this over with.

 

The Pull List #1- “Pull List Begins” [Review]

[Editors Note] - Hiya, folk! Welcome to Pizza Xtreme Team's first weekly special column, one in which I take a look at six randomly selected comic books from my weekly subscriptions and do super-quick reviews on them. This article will run every Thursday (day after New Releases are out), and I'll also be rating each book as a Buy, Skim, or Pass.

Now, before I begin, there is one little point I'd like to make so that I don't get a deluge of e-mails later. As the weeks go by, those of you who read this column will notice that I will be reviewing more DC Comics books than Marvel, Dark Horse, Boom! Studios, IDW, Image, or any other publisher. No, I am not in any way affiliated with DC Comics. Yes, I enjoy Marvel books a great deal. Yes, I know that I may not read what are widely-regarded as “the best books being made at this time.” Finances being what they are, I simply can't afford to pick up and review a comic outside of my current subscriptions. I'm sorry, I just can't do it.

OK! Enough of the prologue, let's talk about some comics!
