The 90s never looked so... uh... 90s. Mega cult UK series 2000 AD's signature character hit the big screen with a whimper, a star who still to this day does not understand the property, and with such stink that it would ruin the 2012 good version years before it was even a thought bubble... the almost beautifully camp- Judge Dredd. I know you knew I was gonna say that.
One of the most influential science fiction films of all time, a heady mix of social commentary on the consequence of technological advancement wrapped in themes of the nature of consciousness, the meaning of identity, and the imperative of leave some imprint of yourself on the future. A brain spinning, action heavy, cyberpunk noir- Ghost in the Shell.
How much Spider-Man would Todd McFarlane draw if Todd McFarlane could draw Spider-Man again? All of it forever. But since he can't we got our third 90s comic book adaption this week. The world's greatest black ops assassin is betrayed by future President Josiah Bartlet, goes directly to Hell where he is recruited to lead Scooby-Doo's Army of the Damned, spat back to Earth for reasons that I guess make as much sense as the Clown has for leaving him alone so much... anyway, it's Spawn.
Last and most likely least- Frank Miller proves that you can never be TOO incompetent to totally butcher a classic work of staggering genius by urinating on the grave of Will Eisner and in the eye of Robert Rodriguez with The Spirit.
