Fanboy Factor Comic Book Reviews of the week! 10/26/16 by Anthony Andujar Jr

      Hi guys, I hope everyone has had or is having a productive week in addition to having a safe early halloween weekend with friends, family, colleagues, poets, writers, artists , associates to varying degrees. As usual I've been busy with my art classes and other projects which I've often mentioned in my other posts. I Have some stuff in the works, and also, I'll be reviewing a special screening of Doctor Strange two days before its release date, which I'm as excited as any genuine comic book fan, Marvel fan, MCU fan, casual movie lover and genuine fan of cool , conceptual stories. But that's not important right now, what's important is the reviews that I made sure to post for those interested in my thoughts on the comics mentioned. I've enjoyed some of these recent reads, Unfortunately I didn't to get a chance to review The Flash issue 9, but I'll be reading it on my down time as a fan who likes Joshua Williams run thus far since it began during the current DC Rebirth line. So, to cut to the chase, here are the comics I've been reviewing for this week, I hope you enjoy my thoughts on the issue, and I hope for my fellow readers, I hope you guys also enjoy the comics that I've been reading as well. Even If you're not fond of certain said runs, writers, characters, or stories, feel free to engage in conversation. I'm interested to hear your thoughts as much as my own. Any who, here the comics that I reviewed: 

Detective Comics # 943 (DC Comics) Batman related title : http://fanboyfactor.com/2016/10/comic-review-detective-comics-943-dc-comics/

Action Comics #966 (DC Comics) Superman related title :http://fanboyfactor.com/2016/10/comic-review-action-comics-966/

Bloodshot USA #1 (Valiant) http://fanboyfactor.com/2016/10/comic-review-bloodshot-u-s-a-1-valiant/

These are the titles I've reviewed. I'm really digging Dan Jurgen's Action Comics as much as I am Patrick Gleason and Tomasi's current Superman title. In addition Tynion lV is really continuing his Detective Comics with great strides, balancing out the Bat Family members (new and old) in such an organic way that makes it as refreshing, mysterious, suspenseful, and fun. Bloodshot has been by Jeff Lemire who as of late, has been one of my favorite writers as of late, especially based on his work on Moon Knight, and Old Man Logan. I may not dig his Extraordinary X-men run as much as those other titles, but its okay, just not as strong as those two titles, especially Old Man Logan. Despite this, Lemire has an extensive resume and he's making great progress with most of the titles he's been writing for other companies. I hope he manages to continue his fun work on Bloodshot as he is with Old Man Logan. At the end of the day, my opinion is my opinion, you may like what I reviewed, you may not, at the end of the day, it's good to find things that we as readers and as individuals can talk about, and maybe even diplomatically disagree with, but have a reasonable conversation seeing where each of us as readers, or up and coming writers and illustrators are coming from.      
  You may like everything X-men but not Brian Bendis's run ( I know I don't but he's a great writer when he is mainly writing solo characters more than group characters. Although his Avengers run was cool give or take how you prefer the Avengers). Point is, this is a medium, and an extension of literary medium that is at the moment making good strides, and whether or not this era of comics will come to pass and take a back seat like it once did before, no matter what, a good story regardless of any medium is a good story. Be it film, play, script, novel, comic book, comic strip, videogame, tv show, etc. If an audience can find a way to connect with a story or have a narrative that can change their perception on life, or inspire ideas of their own, or even take people out of their misery for 13 episodes per binge or two hours or even 10 minutes, it means a lot. Human history, mythology are all bridged on stories, and despite all of the world's cultural, political, economical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual differences, we all as people and readers have similar experiences or story beats that are portrayed. Anywho, enjoy your halloween weekend, drive safely, drink safely, be around good and positive company, and enjoy some good reads folks. Enjoy and I'll see ya around next week with more reviews, and other projects that are in the works. 

New Fanboy Factor Comic Book Reviews of the week 10/19/16 by Anthony Andujar Jr

Man ,I've completed some assignments and the comic pages for chapter 1 is finally completed. The writers and colorists are beginning the text and coloring stages. Still, I'm preparing some pieces for a November Exhibition. I'm almost done with the final piece I've been working on but thus far I'm making progress. Also, man, the CW is doing a fantastic job with their shows. Obviously The Flash is my fave show, but Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow are holding their weight as well. Among all the news, some teasers were released. One Teaser trailer is basically the final Wolverine solo film released by Fox (Hugh Jackman's final wolverine role) called LOGAN just released.  Another teaser that was also released is Marvel Studios and James Gunn's Guardians of The Galaxy vol 2 was released, and it was humorously sweet. Anywho, here are the comics I reviewed for this week! If you want to check out my art work, you can find it on Instagram: @antdujar94 . Anyway, Here are the Reviews:

New Fanboy Factor Comic Reviews 10/12/16 by Anthony Andujar Jr.

As usual I've been pretty busy with some of my own art projects and classes. But I'm happy to report that I've completed my comic (at least Chapter 1) that I've been working on with my co-writers. We'll be adding text and digital colors very soon. Also as of late I've been working on some pieces for an exhibition that a friend of mine wanted me to be apart of , so here is a bit of the images next to some of the links of some of the comic books that I reviewed during this week.

Dragon Ball Super Ep 61 thoughts by Anthony Andujar Jr

When Super started, I knew they would recap the first two movies that was released prior to the series. But I knew that once they would get pass those arc's that that was a perfect jumping on point. and man, I'm glad that they really stepped their game up from the Universe 6 stuff to now. I hope they give the series a satisfying conclusion when they do end this series in the future. for now, I just hope they give us some solid arcs, and keep black goku around, because it would be so great to see an all out death match between the powerfully new DBZ villains against the heroes (goku and vegeta). I only hope that piccolo gets an upgrade in this series, and we see goten and trunks get a bit older since this series is based in between the time frame of the end of the buu saga and the first encounter with Uub.

Either way, I love how Ep 61 displayed Trunks as he exploded into his new form, emitting a bit of blue aura in his regular golden saiyan aura. I also like that there is a bit of a Broly appearance to him, but better yet I love how his transformation is very reminiscent to Gohan's transformation during the Cell Games arc. You really felt the power and rage in his transformation. Aside from the whole Trunks new form stuff, what I really liked is the fact that we got a glimpse of Goku being serious again, which hasn't really been seen, or felt in terms of rage since the Frieza saga, which I missed a lot. When Zumasu and Goku Black (Past Zumasu) reveal what he did to Goku's family prior to Trunk's own timeline, It was great to see Goku go Ki Blazing in fury. I've been really enjoying this arc, and I hope it gives a satisfying conclusion and make a good transition into the next arc.
