"Ain't it cool news" website now has comic book reviews. The main purpose of this site is to preview and sneak peak movies that have not yet been released in theatres. I have to warn you about this site. This site is geekdom nirvana - foul language abounds as geeks try to "out geek" each other to be first to give their views. As popular radio personality Jim Rome might put it, they are trying to "out clone each other" in trying to be cool.

A comment on comic book reviews on the web:

There are not too many sites with free comic book reviews nowadays.

One of the few websites with current comic books is Cinescape at http://www.cinescape.com/0/Comics_2.asp . Comic World news has some mini-reviews by Michael May at http://www.comicworldnews.com/cgi-bin/in... and occasionally has full comic reviews. Comic Book Resources has previews at http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/n... and Comic Continuum is also a good site for its "First Look" section at http://comicscontinuum.com/

If you are a fan of graphic novels, a person who calls himself "The Masked Bookworm" has an excellent site for reviews at http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Study/4273... . Many graphic novels are collections of older comic book story arcs. Checking out the Avengers section they were really old story arcs from Avengers. Great job!

One disappointing web site is KDS Comics. There used to be a bunch at KDS comics at http://gnc.net/~kds/review.htm but they have been pared back to a handful of old ones.

That's all for today. God bless.
