A Spore Nerd Corner

Guardians of the Galaxy is Marvel comics latest romp into movies, and I loved every second of it. I'd never heard of the Guardians before the movie, never read a comic or anything else so, I went into the movie not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The Guardians consist of Peter Quill (Starlord), Gamora the beautiful assassin, Drax, Rocket Racoon, and Groot the giant tree person. All of them, rebel, loosers in their own right are brought together to save Xandar, the home of the Nova Corps from Kree Ronan and the Infinity Stone he has acquired. This movie was so much fun.

One thing I will say is that if you've been watching the commercials and the trailer then you've seen most of the movie. Even with that though I had a lot of fun.

This movie ties into everything from the first Thor movie, which in so many series they tend to forget past movies, to the Avengers.  They also continued the pattern of ending the movie with a little clip that will tie into future marvel movies, already getting people guessing on wh...

While  marvel is rebooting a lot of their heroes, they've announced that soon a new Ms. Marvel will be hitting their pages. So what's different? This Ms. Marvel is going to be a 16-year-old Muslim girl, Kamala Khan. That makes her the first protagonist to be Muslim and a woman in the Marvel universe. I guess this is making some people uncomfortable, but comics have always prided themselves on exploring the social issues of the day. Everything from war, race, and now religion. This is supposed to show an authentic perspective of what it's like to be a young Muslim-American woman, not only learning how to control the new power she's discovered she has but also the expectations of her family, adolescence, and how people respond to her faith. The new Ms. Marvel will be able to transform different parts of her body to different shapes and sizes and will apparently be able to actually shape shift herself later in the series. A special issue in January is supposed to p...
