Bill French, your friendly neighborhood Fantom Comics employee, here to fill you in on a superhero book you may have missed in the confusion of Infinite Civil Crisis: Archie and Veronica.

DC Comics has been missing something in its teenage heroes for quite some time. I like to call it the “What the Heck” factor. Superboy was a clone of the Big Blue Boy Scout. Robin is a smart-aleck who sought out the creepiest cuss ever as a mentor. All of these adolescent heroes have in some way strived to emulate or replace their predecessors. Thankfully, DC used the backdrop of last year's Infinite Crisis to breath much needed life into the “kid-on-the-street” theme with Blue Beetle. The first trade of which – Blue Beetle: Shell Shocked – is now available.

Following the destruction of the Rock of Eternity in Days of Vengeance, the Scarab idol owned by the two previous men to claim the title of Blue Beetle was flung onto the streets of El Paso, Texas. While walking home with his friends, Jamie Reyes stubs his toe on the little token. Taking the scarab home with him, his life changes forever as within the week he is shot into space to battle Brother Eye with legends such as Batman and Green Arrow.

Although suffering from some unfortunate art inconsistencies due to a guest artist for the second and third issues, the trade is a strong opening to the series. The dialogue is crisp and snappy, with a certain quality of innocence to it. Melding a style reminiscent of Ed McGuiness (Superman/Batman) with a smart sense of humor, this series reminds me of early Spiderman books: a normal kid thrown into a situation completely above his head who manages to keep afloat with a good sense of humor and a well-developed supporting cast.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Blue Beetle: Shell Shocked a strong 8.5 out of ten.

Every Friday you can expect a new review of comics you may not be reading but are worth taking a look at.

A NOTE FROM MANAGEMENT:
Fantom Comics would like to apologize for the lateness of this review. While this review may no longer apply to the movie in theaters (if you were going to see it, you probably already have), perhaps it will help when the DVD is released.

Also, Fantom is trying to put more original content on its site. If you have a review from comic book related movies or books, please feel free to email it to us. We might put it up.

REVIEW OF GHOST RIDER
by: Christopher Patriquin

Ghost Rider is one of the worst films in recent history. It's difficult to know where to begin with this review, as Ghost Rider cannot be explained easily. The failure of this film cannot be ascribed to any single flaw, but rather a whole mess of them coming together into one giant cinematic fecal explosion. Since the plot of the film is ridiculous in and of itself, it seems appropriate to begin there.

Ghost Rider follows Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage), a stunt biker who sells his soul to the Devil (Peter Fonda) in exchange for curing his father of cancer. Blaze leaves behind his childhood love, Roxanne, to keep her from being hurt by what he's done. This is all the audience gets for the first 40 minutes of the film.

Cut to the future, and Johnny is now a famous Evil Knievel-esque figure, performing death defying stunts that sometimes result in horrific crashes. Because of his "condition," these crashes never scratch Blaze, but soon the Devil's son, Blackheart (played by Wes Bentley, who played Kevin Spacey's brooding, pot-slinging neighbor in "American Beauty" but whose career is apparently going nowhere), eventually comes to Earth to try and overthrow his father and end the world. The Devil calls upon Blaze to assume the mantle of the Ghost Rider, a flaming skeleton with a range of fiery superpowers, to hunt down Blackheart and his army of fallen angels. That's really it. The rest of the plot is filled in with Blaze's eccentricities (i.e. drinking jelly beans out of martini glasses), bad jokes and fight scenes that are mediocre at best.

Half the people in this film have no business being anywhere near it, especially Peter Fonda. Fonda is a great actor, and he tries to do well with what he's given. It almost works, but his efforts are futile due to the movie's mediocrity. Sam Elliott is in a similar situation. He is a fine actor but his character is utterly wasted.

Eva Mendes does no better. Her role is as empty as her head appears to be every time she's on screen as Johnny Blaze's former love interest-turned-reporter. Her role has no visible purpose, and she contributes absolutely nothing to the plot. Ostensibly, she's meant to give Blaze inspiration to be good and take control of the curse placed upon him, but she really could have been anyone.

Cage has wanted to do a superhero movie for a long time. His performance is rocky at best and definitely not up to the level of greatness that he reached with Face/Off, The Rockand Gone in 60 Seconds. There is little that can be said about his performance other than it is dull.

Beyond the actors, the script is absolutely terrible. The dialogue is hackneyed and stilted, and the film is nonsensical at times. The director must have decided to blow the entire budget on special effects, and it shows. The fire effects are actually impressive and the transformation sequence was interesting as well. The effects and the Fonda/Elliott quotient are the only redeeming features of a movie that was long, badly written and absurd. However, no special effects in the world can save a movie that was doomed from the start.

To be blunt, people should not see this movie, even if potential viewers are fans of the Ghost Rider series. It is an utter bore and a waste of money.

What an AWESOME shot! I guess this dispels rumors that Venom won't have much more than a cameo in this film.

While this comic might first strike you as a shameless gimmick, designed only to make easy money by slapping two popular franchises together, it is in fact a funny, clever, well thought out story.

The comic seems - by all appearances - to take place in regular Marvel continuity...or the regular continuity involving the Marvel Universe in which earth gets invaded by zombies, anyway (you following...?).

Ash, popping through yet another inter-dimensional vortex, still on the run/pursuit (it gets blurred sometimes) of the Deadites, lands in New York City on Marvel Zombie earth mere hours before Zombie Sentry/Superman lands. After getting his bearings by reading the Daily Bugle, he realizes he’s landed in a “dimension full of these costumed clowns." He tries to warn the Avengers of the coming Deadite invasion but they won't listen, and the story develops just as we know it must...zombie infection begins.

The best line in the comic belongs to Ash (of course). Having made a nuisance of himself, he gets carried away from the upcoming battle by Spider-Man. Ash tells him: "That newspaper was right! You really are a menace!"

Very much looking forward to issue #2 of this 5-part series.
