Incredible HulkSometimes grey, sometimes green, the Hulk debuted in 1962, but soon faced cancellation. The character did not enjoy a successful solo run until the 1970s. How High Can Superman Comics Soar?As far as movies go, Superman Returns was not one of the best. Not only did it receive so-so reviews from the critics, but it panned at the box office – barely able to make back its budget, especially after Warner Bros. dropped a mountain of marketing the box office gross couldn't hope the overtake. Heroes Without PowersWhile there are far more super powered heroes flying, swimming and running around, there are a good number of heroes with no powers, but a heart and determination to do the right thing. From Comics to FilmComic books and film go hand-in-hand, and always have more or less. They are both forms of visual entertainment that tell fantastic stories, many times about things that can only happen within the confines of their respective mediums. Roger Daltrey, the Prototypical Front ManRoger Daltrey had always been busy outside of the group, with both musical projects and film roles. He not only appeared as the title character in the film adaptation of ‘Tommy’, but he also found parts in films completely unrelated to music. Rock and Roll Fans are Dazzled by Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta LoveFor British blues metal pioneers Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love was the track that launched their careers into the stratosphere. Already riding on a wave of popularity stemming from the rousing success of their first album, the band returned to the studio in 1969 to record their follow up. Reaching Across the Universe Beatles Resonate Even TodayAt the time, the Beatles were in their Indian guru / meditation phase, which accounts for the inclusion of the ‘Jai guru deva om’ mantra, spoken in Sanskrit in the chorus of the song. Green Lantern – Part TwoWhen Earth’s sun was threatened by a sun-eater, Hal redeemed his evil ways by nobly sacrificing himself to save Earth. Still not earning his rest, Jordan came back as the Spectre, the Spirit of God’s Vengeance for several years. This would change in the storyline Green Lantern: Rebirth, during which Hal Jordan came back to life and was freed from the influence of Parallax. Green Lantern – Part OneThe first Green Lantern, Alan Scott, made his debut in All-American Comics in 1940. Alan became a superhero the day he discovered a magical lamp that instructed him how to fashion a ring from its metal. Donning a bright purple, green, yellow, and red costume, Alan claimed he wanted to create a costume “so bizarre that once I am seen I will never be forgotten.” Green Arrow – Part TwoIn 1987, with the release of the Mike Grell storyline The Longbow Hunters and the series that followed, Green Arrow took on an even darker edge than before. In the storyline, Dinah is captured and tortured to the extent that she loses her famous sonic cry and is made sterile.
