Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #3
Superboy Prime vs. The Legion of Superheroes? Having read the previous issues, this series has been action packed.After Infinite Crisis, Prime has become one of my favorite DC villians. In this, he wants to not just destroy the heroes of the 31st Century, but to destroy Superman’s reputation aswell.
The Man of Steel tries to reason with him by rediscovering his humanity, but to no avail. Which results in Prime shooting Kal-El in the hand with his heat vision.The climax is what the title says. Legions from the Multiverse come together to stop this threat that becomes too much them for them to handle. So the three Brainiac Fives resort to a contingency plan.
The cliffhanger is the deceased Bart Allen aka Kid Flash returning from The Speed Force to once again imprison the out of control teenager back into the extradimensional realm. Aside from Mark Waid, with The Red Lanterns and this, Geoff Johns is one of the best writers. Plus George Perez with his epic artwork.

Superbowl Spots
Despite the spots already up online, I’d rather see them during the game. Here the highlights.
The non-movie spots that had me cracking up. I think the guy after the older one throws the globe in vender says “What the fuck? Are you high?”
No spot for Wolverine though. Not that shocking to me Fox missed an opportunity for advertisement.

The Wrestler Review
Finally got around to seeing this film and holy crap, that was a very good film. It starts with Rourke washed up, but making his way the best he can with himself and the people around him. Especially on Marisa Tomei as the stripper. As the movie goes on he suffers a heart attack after a brutal match in a ECW fashion, taking the doctor’s advice decides to retire before a big rematch.
While he tries to get more work at the supermarket, he tries to make up with his lesbian daughter. As it looks like they’ve reconciled, his lifestyle gets the best of him and the second half progresses into a spiril roller coaster of emotion, sadness, and Randy going back to the only aspect of his life that gives him all the love. Ending with his final match.
Until the drive back home, the “going out triumphant” actually hit me. Cause again it was an emotional ride. The ending was absolutely depressing. This was the flipside of the last Rocky film. Very surreal. Nothing is sugarcoated, which is a good thing.

More Lana was painful, but the Toy Man saved it for me. Glad he’s on the loose.

Toyman looked like The Joker from The Dark Knight.
