The Pop Culture of Gus Lequerica

Recently reading about David Carradine’s death in Thailand; one thing comes to mind, there is a chance that it wasn’t suicide, but also it could be accidental because he was performing supposedly a bizarre sexual act with ropes. I think probably that David was experimenting with erotic asphyxiation. I don’t see other choice, because according to reports there were ropes around his body, the experience went bad and the nodes chocked him to death. It’s something sad because he was one of the heavyweights in Hollywood and sure he is going to be missed.

Exiles # 3 Volume 2: Simple as this, this reboot is not as as well written as the first volume of Exiles, probably the only good thing about this reboot is the art, but beside that the script is really disappointing and there is no reason to read the title if you are fan of Blink because this is not the mainstream Blink that readers were used to and admire. So far the first Arc, Long Live The King was some kind of disappointing because it lacked of any kind of action and the interaction of the characters seemed to be weak as the Arc progressed, and in a twist that in someway it was expected, the new team failed on their first mission and instead of being returned to the Phanoptrichon they went directly to their second mission on a world called Machineworld, from what it seems the Marvel cyborgs rule, I hope the series takes a stronger direction and some of the characters get killed to see if the proposed action boost the readers interest. In a personal opinion: if you liked New Exiles and Exiles Vol1, stick with those titles because this one is not worth it.

New Mutants #2 Volume 3: One of the titles that shouldn’t be canceled in the first place was this one; is really good no matter the incarnation we seen of the New Mutants and now that the title has been taken over some of the original characters of the franchise we can have an alternative title to the X-Men franchise and the readers can get a glimpse of the characters have developed into their adulthood or at least early adulthood because of the Marvel floating time line. The writing of Zeb Wells is quite superb and by giving few clues about the return of Legion he has know how to keep the interest of the readers so far (remember that some titles are dead by the second number) and the art it isn’t bad either is really retro like the art in the 90’s. Is not much what I can say about New Mutants right now, but at least the thing I can say is really positive about the revamp of this title.
