As of late I've been busy with my studies for Urban Sociology, British Literature and Match classes, among a Mural project etc. This means I won't be able to put out a lot of content and slows down some of the personal Projects that I have going on. In the mean time, here are two comics that I enjoyed.

Iron Fist thoughts by Anthony Andujar Jr 3/11/17
I remember when no one knew who Iron Fist was. Now that there is a Netflix series, suddenly people want to act like a big time expert on the character of Iron Fist. If you ain't read a comic about the character, don't judge the show on that. Instead, judge the show in regards to whether the story, the sensibilities, and the choreography all do its job or not. Because if that's the case, then why aren't people talking about Shang Chi? They might as well have Shang Chi get a series , But if he had one, I wonder how people would claim it stereotypical in regards to the fact that's its an Asian guy who is the master of kung fu. Because it's a slippery slope when people who don't read source material try to shit on something that they have no knowledge about. There are characters of representation that get no spotlight because A) Either no one cared about them until a show is made or movie, or B) They don't even know that these characters exist. Anywho, you be the judge of the series when you see it, and judge it by its story.
Also, here is my thoughts on Netflix and Marvel's Iron Fist. Personally, I only saw the first 6 episodes out of 13 ( Since I wasn't able to have access, thus only judging / reviewing what was shown). It's too early to tell whether or not the rest of the series will fall victim to the criticism from early reviews. I wrote my own thoughts one episode at a time to try to see how each episode stands on its own and whether it helps to progress the series or not. http://fanboyfactor.com/2017/03/tv-review-marvels-iron-fist-episode-1-snow-gives-way-netflix/

Action Comics # 975: http://fanboyfactor.com/2017/03/comic-review-action-comics-975-dc-comics/
Detective Comics #952 : http://fanboyfactor.com/2017/03/comic-review-detective-comics-952-dc-comics/

Astro City #42 http://fanboyfactor.com/2017/03/comic-review-astro-city-42-vertigo/
Personally, I really enjoyed Action Comics and Astro City this week. Just solid stuff from Tomasi, Gleason and Busiek. I wish I'd have written more stuff, but unfortunately, class and homework assignments are in full swing. Either way I hope you enjoy!

Comic Book Reviews of the Week 3/1/17 by Anthony Andujar Jr
It is the first of March!!!!!!! Logan comes out this week (which you can read my review here: http://fanboyfactor.com/2017/02/movie-review-logan-fox/ ) the new Kong movie Skull Island , Netflix Iron Fist all come out this month! March Madness I suppose? okay, bad joke, bad "dad" joke, I can't help it. Can you blame me? (okay, you guys probably can blame me for my sense of humor hahaha). Here are the first slew of comic book reviews of the week for the first week of March.
Tom King is bringing the hits with his current Bane arc. It's interesting the kind of parallels that Batman and Bane have as two individuals who've had similar situations, yet distinctly different which lead to two different out comes. This issue explores some of that within this third chapter of the I Am Bane arc which you can read the rest of my review on Batman #18 here:
http://fanboyfactor.com/2017/03/comic-review-batman-18-dc-comics/
Speaking of firsts, I've finally taken the time to read Tim Seeley's Nightwing series and I fraggin Love it! (See what I did there? using the word 'fraggin'? Lobo phrases? pop culture reference went over your head and didn't land eh? I need to quit trying to be a comedian). In all seriousness, Tim Seeley really understands the character of Dick Grayson and truly channels the essence of the character in a way that make's you wish that he was writing a Spider-Man series. In Nightwing #16 a certain figure is looking in the shadows, tailing Nightwing in every corner, and in the midst of all of this, Damian has a score to settle with Nightwing. What kinda score does Robin want to settle with Nightwing? Simple: Who is the worthy successor of Batman. How is Grayson gonna sort out the madness? You can read my review here in regards to what I thought of the first chapter of the Nightwing Must Die arc here:
http://fanboyfactor.com/2017/03/comic-review-nightwing-18-dc-comics/
Peter J Tomasi and Patrick Gleason are coming in swinging with the Superman Reborn arc! What might be the connections to the seeds that were sewn since the beginning of DC Rebirth? WHo is the Doppelganger CLark Kent that has been roaming the pages of Dan Jurgens Actions Comics, and what is his connection to the events happening with the SUperman titles as well as DC Rebirth? There have been so many questions, and it looks like they may start being answered here, in Superman #18:
http://fanboyfactor.com/2017/03/comic-review-superman-18-dc-comics/
What have you guys been reading lately from Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, Boom Studios, IDW, Valiant etc? Sound off and have a good weekend!
