Action Comic Books

Posted on October 1, 2011 by

Action comic books have been around for quite some time now. A lot of people have been collecting and reading issue after issue of comic books, it is a great way to spend time without having to spend so much or even travel. There are so many action comic book titles available in the market today; different themes for different audiences make it appealing to almost everyone.

Action comic books rely heavily on interesting stories, comic books after all are just short stories made more entertaining because of illustrations. It?s almost impossible to go through life without reading at least one comic book. There are so many publishing companies that produce so many comic book titles that there are literally so much to choose from. Chances are, no matter who you are and where you come from there is a perfect action comic book for you.

The comic book has always been an enduring element in the American culture. Comic publishing giants such as Marvel and DC comics have been around for decades spawning so many popular comic books that they have become a household name. The element of escapism makes comic books very popular, one can easily get lost in the bright colored pages of probably the most popular literary genre of modern society.

Action comic books are known for over the top story lines and adrenaline pounding events. Fans are dazzled by illustrations that seem to jump out of the page and just spark the reader?s imagination. A very persistent element in action comic books is a protagonist, usually a person with extraordinary abilities usually referred to as super heroes.

Super heroes in action comic books are very important in making the story more attractive. Throughout the years, comic books have given its audiences very popular names that went far beyond just comic book pages. Heroes such as Superman, Batman, and Spiderman have become iconic figures of the century. It is close to impossible to find a person who has not heard of these superheroes especially now that they are found in TV, movies, and even general merchandise.

The fascination with action comic books is not only a western trend. Almost all cultures have their versions of comic books that have their own twists on heroes and stories. A regional comic book genre that has recently attracted some global attention is the Japanese Manga. Manga are simply Japanese comic books, they are traditionally black and white and are usually released in weekly compilations called Jump. Japanese Manga has their own style of action comics with their own versions of superheroes that of course are more related to the Japanese culture.

Action comic books are a testament to generations of creativity, the evolution of comic books are also great historic references of the times they where created. People may notice that despite the over the top themes and story lines, action comics usually have deeper messages that talk about serious issues such as society, politics, and other pressing matters.

Comic Ghost Rider

Posted on September 30, 2011 by

The comic ghost rider is one of giant Marvel Comics’ most successful franchises. Since its release, the comic book has already spawned several hundred issues, different spin offs, and generations of loyal fans. It was only a matter of time when its success would attract the eyes of Hollywood movie producers and make a silver screen debut.

The comic ghost rider is just one of several Marvel comic classics to transition from page to film. Classics such as Spiderman, X-men, and the Fantastic Four have already hit the movie theaters successfully and already made enough impact to warrant sequels. Fan favorites such as the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man have also made significant box office hits. Other classics such as Thor and The Punisher also have adaptations in the works.

A very noticeable similarity behind these successful comic to movie adaptations are compelling story lines. The comic ghost rider has a very intricate and deep story with elements of action, horror, and the occult in just the right amounts to attract an enduring fan base. The advanced special effects movie makers are now capable of also add icing to the cake making scenes and visuals that were only possible in comic books a few years ago come alive in the big screen.

The comic ghost rider weaves a story around a reluctant motorcycle stuntman by the name of Johnny Blaze who strikes a deal with the devil so he can become the best in his craft. A few years of success later the devil comes back to ask for payment in the form of service: Johnny is now given the role and abilities of a ghost rider the devils collector of damned souls. Instead of accepting fate Blaze decides to go against the devil and begins to use his abilities to exact vengeance on evil elements of society.

Aside from the entertaining and exciting story line the comic ghost rider also does not disappoint in the creative’s department. When Blaze turns into the ghost rider, he becomes a skeleton garbed in biker clothes with a flaming skull head. As if the ghost rider isn’t intimidating enough, he also has a monstrous motorcycle with burning wheels as his ride. The ghost rider also has a chain as his primary weapon which usually seems like it has a mind of its own and can often extend far beyond what it looks like it could.

The movie adaptation features A-list celebrities such as Nicholas Cage, Eva Mendez, and Wes Bentley. The movie promises to be a motion picture spectacle of action and special effects which makes it a definite must see movie. Fans are definitely going to be satisfied with the motion picture release and surely a follow up of comic book spin offs would just be around the corner.

The comic ghost rider is a perfect example of one of the greatest past times the world ever had, comic books have persisted for so many generations and just like technology they grow more sophisticated and addictive as time goes by.

Can you still recall the first time you ever owned or read a comic book? You probably read it from cover to cover then kept it away in some drawer and just plainly forgot about it. The value of comic books is relative to whether you have read it or not, right? If you already read it a few times then it isn’t worth anything anymore. Its very easy to assume that comic books loose their value after reading but this is not necessarily true.

The value of comic books can change depending on how long you have held on to it and at what quality you where able to preserve it. Comic books are in actuality novelty items that are significant icons of the time they where produced. In most cases comic books are even considered memorabilia, and these types of items increase in value as they age.

There are a lot of comic books out there that now would cost more than ten times the price they were worth when they were first put up on sale. Comic books can create massive appeal and popularity and this may bring up its initial value. Take the Bat Man franchise for example: No one really had any idea that the fictional protagonist of one of DC comics Detective comics issues would become an iconic figure in today’s society. Bat man has gone far beyond comics; it has been the theme of quite a lot of Hollywood’s most memorable action block busters and has made many television appearances as well. It is no doubt that the value of comic books that were printed during the early periods of the Bat Man franchise are now worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

Although it is true that comic books are like antiques that get more expensive with age, there are some factors to be considered when appraising or starting a comic book collection. Before you go and do some attic or garage treasure hunting keep in mind that not all comic books are worth a pretty penny. The value of comic books depends on several factors which cover quality in the sense of physical state and make.

If the comic book you have never gained any popularity, in other words a comic book flop, then it probably is not worth anything more than what you initially spent on buying it. If it was successful however like Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and other iconic comic book titles then you may want to check on the issue number and the date it was published. The value of comic books rise to exponential levels if you have limited editions, or first prints (alpha editions) or signature publishes.

A comic book will also cost more if the quality is pristine. The fewer amounts of dog ears, folds, creases, and discoloration the higher the value, Some collectors do not even read their comic books to preserve the value, they just buy it and stow it away somewhere safe where it can increase in value without any threats.

How much the value of comic books can increase makes it an interesting item to collect and make a hobby of. It is a great way of entertaining yourself and having an item of value as well.

Comic Book Superheroes

Posted on September 26, 2011 by

What makes comic super heroes special? Aside from the super powers, the spandex costumes, the secret identities, and their perfectly scripted lines, you would think that there would be a limit to how many super heroes there would be. Yet if you look around the various medias, you’ll find these super heroes popping up left and right like mushrooms after a thunderstorm. That must mean each one is fundamentally unique, right? Not really.

Each super hero has his or her own unique audience that waits with bated breath for the next adventure. Though each and every one of these comic super heroes is unique by their own right, they have common ties that bond them to readers. One of the most powerful bonds that tie a fan to the superhero would be the effect that good and evil has on the superhero, and how he or she interprets these moral issues.

Here are a couple of examples of how, exactly, these bonds are formed and maintained on a basis of good and evil:

The Paragon: The first hero that comes to mind for a Paragon would be Superman: the super hero that stands for everything that is good and just. People find themselves looking for an example that good triumphs over evil, and that these pro-social qualities that they value so much will eventually succeed in any endeavor. Even if the pattern is a bit predictable, it is this value of security and comfort that Paragon comic super heroes bring that makes them appealing to fans of this type of super hero.

The Broken: If Superman would be the poster-child of a Paragon, then Spawn would be the poster-child of a broken hero. A Broken hero is one who is bombarded by questions of morality in an attempt to find good amidst evil. If Paragons are appealing because of their solid conviction of good, broken heroes are appealing because of their moral struggles to attain goodness. Comic super heroes in this category provide a more diverse and unpredictable story, while bringing questions of how good can be strived for even in the face of the greatest temptations. Fans find this moral struggle refreshing and unique, especially for fans struggling with moral issues themselves.

The Antihero: If Spawn and Superman both believe in the concept of good, then a super hero like the Mask would be the poster-child of an Antihero. These types of comic super heroes are typically driven by self-interest, while maintaining enough positive traits to be called good. Though not evil or malicious by nature, Antiheroes are typically driven by personal agendas, rather than the pursuit of good itself. However, they maintain their mark as heroes by the nature of their interests aligning with good. This gives them a unique edge that sets them between good and evil, and keeps fans constantly wondering what they’ll do when faced with different moral situations.

Of course, the human mind is filled with endless possibility, and there always exists the possibility of mixing these moral stereotypes or even coming up with new moral stereotypes altogether. But it still helps if we could understand, even just a little bit, how we connect with our beloved superheroes. Whether they would be Paragons like Superman, Broken heroes like Spawn, or even antiheroes like the Mask, we’d be able to understand them a little better.
