Silent Hill is a great horror series (so far I've watched Let's Play of SH1, SH2, SH3, SH: The Room, and SH: Shattered Memories). For those that don't know, Silent Hill is a town where your fears come alive (or at least the fears of the people that you're playing as). It seems like a simple enough concept to do.
You need a character with a jaded past and then you place him in Silent Hill where the monsters reflect his/her inner demons and he learns from his/her experiences. But the comics in the Silent Hill Omnibus (no, Sinner's Reward isn't included and I still need to hunt that comic out) seem to not grasp what Silent Hill is.
What about the artwork? Some of it is a little odd but I'm not too picky about artwork in a comic. As long as it fits with the story and I can tell what's happening, I am fine. The artwork varied a lot. I know others might disagree with this: but it didn't bother me. With everything that was happening the artwork was the least of my concerns.
There were monsters in the Omnibus but none of the situations felt like Silent Hill. One big part of the Omnibus was the fact that Silent Hill was drawing people into the town so it could take over. Through the Omnibus the town called people to make videos of it, an artist to draw its monsters, and tried to make a killer of a man all to bring Silent Hill's terror to the world.
Before I end, I will say my favorite part of the Omnibus is when Cheryl (a Cheerleader Captain) says to Ike (the artist) that leaders have to make hard choices and then leaves him to die. That part made me laugh out loud. The story is "Paint It Black". That was probably the best story in the Omnibus. And by best, I mean so bad it's funny.
So, if you're a fan of Silent Hill, stay away from the Omnibus. Stay far FAR away!

The Host Rant (Part 8)
In this part of my rant about The Host by Stephenie Meyer I look at Wanderer contradict herself, discuss my dismay at the fact that Jamie is the first person that she would die for, and a melodrama laced scene.

Jeff Gordon and Superman
Now I am not a big comic buff but I think that Superman attaching himself to Jeff Gordon just sounds silly. It'd be like if a T-1000 joined up with an organization helping the homeless. It just sounds like something from a bad fanfiction.
But the comic I am talking about is real. It is called Superman & Jeff Gordon First Issue: The Race is On! I am forgoing my usual review style since I am probably going to miss about a million things.
What is the comic about? Jeff Gordon has refused to be sponsored by by Lex Luthor. Luthor gets so pissed off at Gordon that he sends Metallo to beat Gordon in a race. You hear that sound? That's your sanity dying. Hope you didn't need that.
For those that don't know who Metallo is, the comic explains him as one of Superman's most feared enemies. Why is Luthor doing this? Why, Superman has to fight someone in the comic.
Something you might be wondering is why the comic was made. At the end of the comic Gordon shows Superman/Clark Kent his new car. Well, for those that don't know about racing, sometimes drivers will have their cars painted in a different way than normal. In this comic's case: showing a Superman Returns logo.
This raises any interesting point: If the Superman movies exist in this timeline, why doesn't Jeff Gordon (or anyone else) realize that Clark Kent is Superman.
Of course you can tell me to be quiet about that point. The reason being: Was anyone expecting this comic to make sense?

One Year Anniversary Blog Post
It is a good day. It is my One Year Anniversary of serious blogging. A year ago I decided to post my first YouTube video and later I did blog posts. Though I really did start video reviewing things before that starting with The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I reviewed some good things, some bad things, and some things that really left an impact on me.
In this one year I have changed my setup. I have gotten a symbol, changed my blog, and other things. Some things were changed because people wanted them changed, but mostly things were changed because I wanted them changed.
I want to thank my friend Retsam who has supported me from day one. He has supported me in not just my blogging ventures but in my personal life. He is a good friend.
I also want to thank Zack who does the symbol for me. That symbol wasn’t supposed to be as big as it is now (talked about it in a video). He is also a very kind and understanding friend.
For those that wonder if I know about TGWTG (www.thatguywiththeglasses.com) since I don’t mention them or do any of their jokes: my purpose for that is that I’m being my own internet personality. I’m not part of TGWTG so I want to be known as my own person. I don’t mind some people that make references to TGWTG but it’s not always needed.
In place of these TGWTG references I make Terminator references. I have even made videos about the series and my opening (as of this blog post) is made up of Terminator clips. In December I did a series of articles about the Terminator series and I was very happy to do them.
Going back to thanking people:
I want to thank Crysy for being a very good supporter. While she hasn’t helped with my blogging she is still a great friend.
I also want to thank Jessica for being my oldest friend. She has stuck with my craziness throughout all these years.
What can you expect from me this coming year? I want to one day do a review on all of the Terminator movies starting with The Terminators (an Aslyum film). The Host Rant will continue and what comes after that? I am thinking of doing a rant series on my most hated movie, as of now: Tideland.
I want to thank everyone for their support and here is to another great year of blogging!
