Why We Need A Justice League Video Game


SPOILERS FOR COMICS, MOVIES, AND GAMES AHEAD!!

We live in an age where not only are comics once again a big deal, but video games are also a major part of our lives. Perhaps one of the most widely known and adored video games out there right now is the Arkham series. Now that the series is over, Rocksteady needs to go with this new idea for a new series/game. We need a Justice League video game! If Rocksteady (or any company for that matter) used the right formula it could possibly be the best game of all time. One of the first things that needs to happen is to capture the characters right. Superman needs to be the hero everyone knows and loves. Batman needs to be the vigilante, the Dark Knight. Wonder Woman needs to be the amazing hero that she is. Same for the heroes. We also need the locations of each hero and each one of them needs to be open world. Imagine having Batman fight crime in Central City? Or Superman flying into Gotham? This game writes itself. Story is where it gets tough. I would rather have an original story that brings the League together. I'd love to see some of the best League stories all kind of honored and possibly used. Like elements with the Tower of Babel. It could be a story where the villains frame the heroes and try to get them to turn on each other and the League has to stop them. Or perhaps you could see the story line of New World Order with the League already being established. Or maybe skip  story lines all together and go straight with an original story like Arkham. I'm sure with the right amount of time they could figure out the play scheme but I think single player mixed with co-op if you wanted to, that would be amazing so you could go alone or with friends. And with improved graphics, destructive worlds, and multiple worlds to play in, they could win the world over. Will we ever see a Justice League video game? Who knows, but I would certainly hope that it is in the near future. Comment your thoughts and let me know what you think!

Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde #1 Review

SPOILERS TO FOLLOW

To say that I have been waiting for this comic to release since Secret Wars began would be an understatement. I've been waiting for this comic since the ending of The Black Vortex storyline. Perhaps my (and the internet's) favorite comic couple, Starkat, star in their first comic together but not all is as it seems. Peter Quill is on the run and Kitty is working for Doom, so it's nothing like the Starkat we all love and remember. I can't wait to see where this story leads, especially with the new Marvel series launching in the fall! But for now if you love Starkat, Disney songs, and a great story with great art to go along with it, PICK THIS UP NOW! Don't even consider skipping this one! 

(PS: on a side note this is my official tenth blog! I'm super happy to get here with this comic being the subject matter. Please continue to check back for blogs, reviews, etc. and remember to tell your friends. Thanks again and happy reading!)

Archie vs Sharknado #1 Review

MILD SPOILERS AHEAD

If you picked up this comic and didn't enjoy it then you missed out on a good one! With all the humor of Archie comics and all the ridiculousness (but greatness) that is Sharknado, this was a winning combo. The comic tied right into Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! but was in its own right a great standalone. There are also some fun cameos to look out for, but all in all this is a great comic with a great art and a great story so I recommend you pick it up!

Justice League #42 Review

SPOILERS

With #42 The Darkseid War reaches part 2 with some rather interesting consequences. Without going in to deep of spoiler-y territory perhaps my favorite part was when Batman jumped onto the chair and became a new god. Now knowing a lot of information he asks who killed his parents and of course got the answer he already knew, perhaps testing the knowledge. He then asks what The Joker's real name is and he is shocked to find out who he is. Of course it is not shown to the reader but it can't help but make the mind wonder. It was a good comic but just a little messy but I look forward to #43 coming out soon!

What I Don't Like in Batman: Arkham Knight: Part 2

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

In Part 1, I talked about what I liked in Batman: Arkham Knight. Now it's time for what I think is bad (or rather annoying) in the game. This post will be relatively shorter because there isn't much annoying with the game. One of the first things to mention is how the Batmobile is basically abused in the game. There are some missions that could've been done without having to use the car but rather it seems like you use it more often than not. Also, a lot of the boss battles using the car are ridiculous. Seriously, 45 tanks vs me in the car!?! It wouldn't be so bad if the weapons were more stable to use but maybe I'm just complaining about nothing. Also the side missions in the game start feeling more like chores rather than fun side missions. One of the last complaints was something I said I would talk more about here. (FINAL SPOILER WARNING) I did like how the Arkham Knight turned out to be Jason Todd but I also didn't like it. With the title Arkham Knight, that could've easily been Batman himself and Red Hood the villain. Another thing I think would've been cool would have been a Hush type story with the Arkham Knight actually being Thomas Elliot. The armor would've been him trying to be Batman and then taking off the mask and being Bruce Wayne. Imagine what Batman would've felt!?! Alas though these are in a sense nitpicks cause this game was one of the best games I've ever played. Rocksteady, the next game you make is gonna have big shoes to fill! That's all on Arkham Knight for now, feel free to comment what you thought of the game or what you didn't like!
