Greetings!
Hello! Welcome to my blog page! This is a page dedicated to comic books, comic book movies, pop culture news and other stuff that I find interesting. I will try to update this page as much as possible with the junk I find interesting. I hope you find it interesting too.
Why the name Lowbrowcomics?
Well, while comic books can be compelling, imaginative and extremely well written, they aren’t exactly Shakespeare. Even though I love reading them, the title of the blog serves as a reminder to just have fun with them.
Ok, cool. So what about you? Who are you?
I’m glad you asked!
I’ve been reading comics for more than 35 years! I remember the day I started pretty clearly. When I was about 3 or 4, my dad came home from work and among the little treats he usually brought home, he brought an issue of the Incredible Hulk, Daredevil and Power-Man and Iron Fist. It was all over after that. All night long we laid on the floor, reading these comics and even though I was too young to read them myself, I listened intently while he discussed and explained Daredevil’s powers, what happens when Hulk gets mad and Iron Fist’s prodigious use of Kung-Fu.
From then on out, I wanted to read as much as I could (not limited to comics of course) everything from the Marvel and DC universe. From then on out it was Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends on Saturday morning, Batman birthday cakes, Fantastic Four bed sheets, watching Superman movies and on and on and on.
At age 7 in 1984, I was at a birthday party and while most of the kids were playing with toys with the birthday boy, I noticed a TV on in the other room. I poked my head in to see what was on and noticed something strange on the tube. Something I had never seen before. Strange machines were walking across a frozen wasteland shooting lasers at peculiar looking ships, a man clad in all black with a deep raspy voice strode through frozen hallways looking for someone called “The princess”. Yep, you guessed it. The Empire Strikes Back. Thus began my second great love affair.
So there you have it, I’m not going to go through all my major milestones with comics, there just isn’t enough bandwidth available :) I just hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy making it!

The only thing I don’t like about this is that it pretty much rules out Kyle Katarn’s involvement, being someone who still enjoys the Jedi Knight video games, but the games will always exist for me to go back to. This looks pretty intense in the right ways, and there’s already a lot of implied room for Felicity Jones’s character to grow as a person through the movie. Also, Donnie Yen smacking Stormtroopers around with a quarter staff. Do I even need to say how awesome that is?
Yeah I really hope that Donnie Yen has a big part in the movie with equal parts speaking and action.
And you never know, Kyle could pop up somewhere (probably in name only). I was researching the cast and there are many actors who still don’t have character names attached to them yet. So maybe there is still hope!
I’m kind of joking with Kyle, but it would be kind of awesome. They have talked about taking in at least a few Expanded Universe characters, even if details about them will be changed.
Yeah I hope so too. In the back of my mind I keep hoping I don’t see any lightsabers. The Star Wars Universe is so rich they don’t have to always fall back on Jedi/The Force etc.

What characters did they talk about taking in?

So far mostly Old Republic Sith, but that could very well just be a start.
