Justice League of America #50 Review
IGN reviews Justice League of America #50.
League America
One of my other hobbies is paintball. Its such a rush to be running through the woods and shooting close friends with air powered paintball guns. I play with a paintball team in the NW called OK Company and have a lot of fun with these guys and gals. Being a comic book fan I've often thought of combining my two hobbies with a costume, maybe for a Halloween game or something like that. Turns out some guys from Gloversville, New York beat me to it. They have a paintball team called The Avengers and so far their roster includes Captain America, Venom, Hulk, Ant Man, and Iron Man.
You may laugh at these guys showing their comic colors on the battlefield but I applaud them. Comic fans often use Halloween or conventions as the excuse to put their comic costumes on, but there are other ways to dress up and have fun. My callsign in my group is Captain A and I still plan on making a Captain America costume one of these days. Have you ever found a way to incorporate your love of comics into your everyday life or hobbies outside of conventions and Halloween? Post below.

I have been out of the comic book world for 15 years and a friend recommended Josh Whedon's Astonishing X-men vol 1 - 4. I loved it and looking for more comic books that are just a fun read with great art. What do you recommend?
ComicsPRO, the new retailer organization that has been working to band together comic book retailers all over, has announced that they are going to do an Industry Appreciation Award to honor two groups of people. One for those that are in the comic business and helping to make the comic industry a better place and a second to posthumously award those that have gone before and aided the world of comics. The 2010 nominees are:
The 2010 nominees for the ComicsPRO Industry Appreciation Award:
o Neil Gaiman
o Steve Geppi
o Paul Levitz
o Dave Sim
o Bob Wayne
The 2010 nominees in the posthumous category for the ComicsPRO Industry Appreciation Award:
o Will Eisner
o Carol Kalish
o Phil Seuling
o Julius Schwartz
It's great to see movements to better and solidify the industry, making the industry stronger and work for fans and retailers alike. You can find more information about the awards at the ComicsPRO website. The awards will be given out at the annual meeting on March 25-27.

Comic books still relevant in contemporary entertainment
One of my favorite things about going home is catching up with the months of comic books I have not read. My days of covering my ears whenever I hear “Hal Jordan this” or “Batman and Robin that” are temporarily over.

I'm taking a class right now entitled, "Advanced Studies in Children's Literature," and one of the assignments was to look at some of the classic illustrators of early children's book works. The thing that caught my eye was how detailed these artists were. Many of today's children's illustrators have a more cartoony style but these artists drew lavish pieces of highly detailed art depicting elements of the story. These illustrators really reminded me of some of today's comic book artists. One in particular was L. Leslie Brooke, who illustrated classic nursery rhymes and fables in the book Golden Goose. When I saw his art, I swear I saw an uncanny resemblance to the work of Frank Quietly. Check out this picture from The Golden Goose and this one from All Star Superman. I think the resemblance in style is great and remarks to the detail that these current and classic illustrators are putting them into their work.
