From the Archives: Star Trek: Countdown -- A Review (from 2009)

Today is my birthday!!!  And I was hoping to put together a fun (and quick) list of all the myriad things I would like (HCs, Legos, Action Figures, etc.).  But the hard cover list alone was so huge it was depressing.  Plus we had THREE concerts this week at various schools, which left no time to prepare.  The point was to have a "skip day" as a present to myself.  Anyway, it didn't really work out and I didn't want to use my buffer post because then I'd lose my security net (forget the fact that its very existence is to be used in just such an emergency).  Fortunately, I saw STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS yesterday, and that reminded me of the review I once wrote about the Countdown prequel comic originally posted on the Cosmic Comix website back in 2009.  Thankfully, my comcast account has a good archive system.

So enjoy the cool possibilities from the new Star Trek franchise:


Matthew’s Opine:  Earth Date 2009-05-14

I saw the new Star Trek film last Friday and I loved it.  Yesterday, I got to read the prequel comic, Star Trek Countdown and it was AWESOME!!!  I haven’t been this enthusiastic[1] about a comic in quite a while.  The story really enriches the movie by telling you “Where One Man Has Gone Before!”.  That “one man”[2], of course, is Spock[3].  Now, if you haven’t seen the movie yet, don’t read any further.  See the movie first, then come back.  I’ll wait…

From the Archives: Amazing Spider-Man #600 -- A Review

This was originally posted on the Cosmic Comix website back in the summer of 2009.


I found my old review of ASM #600, which I referenced in this morning's post.  Enjoy!
