Carnage come back again in "Superior Carnage"

From Marvel.com, They just announce that Carnage will come back in Spider-Man family's life again.

Carnage has a lot of mini series during last 3 years

  • Carnage Family Feud(2011)
    • Vs. Spider-Man, Iron Man
  • Carnage U.S.A. (2012)
    • Vs. Avengers
  • Minimum Carnage (2012)
    • Vs. Venom(Flash) and Scarlet Spider-Man

And now Marvel just announce that he will come back again in "Superior Carnagefive issue limited series. Will he face with Superior Spider-Man? We will know in this July. 

Personally, the reason that I follow Carnage event is Clayton Clain's artwork. His pictures are dark and feel mystery. I'm not sure about Stephen Segovia work, it 's OK to try.

Kotobukiya The New 52: Green Lantern ArtFX+ Statue Review

Finally, I completed an ArtFX+ Green Lantern New52 Review 



The New 52: Green Lantern ArtFX+ Statue


Manufacturer: Kotobukiya
Price: 4400 Yen / $39.99

DC New 52 Justice League Promo Poster

From the Manufacturer
A Kotobukiya Japanese import. Kotobukiya’s line of DC Comics “New 52” ArtFX+ Statues continues, capturing the new looks and costumes of heroes in the Justice League. Coming hot on the heels of Superman is fellow Leaguer and Earth’s first member of the intergalactic police force, GREEN LANTERN. When Sector 2814’s previous Lantern Abin Sur crashed on Earth, his ring sought a worthy successor and found test pilot Hal Jordan. Brash and fearless, the Emerald Warrior uses his power ring to fly and create solid light constructs of whatever he can imagine. Following Superman’s lead, Green Lantern stands in a heroic pose that’s perfect for a lineup of Earth’s most powerful protectors. The cocky Justice Leaguer stands with his feet apart and arms at his sides, with his right fist raised and ready to unleash his ring’s energy. Kotobukiya’s excellent craftsmanship can be seen in the intricate details of Green Lantern’s ring-generated New 52-style suit including the shoulder pad-like armor and of course the logo on his chest. Jordan’s green mask is perfect, as is his wind-blown brown hair. Green Lantern stands nearly 7 ½ " tall (in the ArtFX+ 1/10th scale) and was sculpted by master artist Atelier Bamboo. Magnets in his feet make him perfectly stable on his included display base, and he’ll look perfect on your shelf next to the rest of the Justice League (coming soon).

From BabyGL2814
He is the original idea to create a user "BabyGL2814", so I will not miss to get him from shelf. The same as ArtFX+ Superman New52, quality of Kotobukiya product is still fantastic. This is the best of Emerald Warrior that I ever see.


The same pose as Promo Picture from DC Comics, Metallic color is very shinning.

Zoom at Logo of Green Lantern. There is a green color glowing at his hand with a power ring.


With different point of view

Don't have any interesting point at his back(the same as his suite in Comics)


Still have magnets at this ArtFX+ Green Lantern New52 Statue' feet to attract with it's base.


Overall Review
Quality of Product: 5 Stars
Color: 5 Stars
Pose: 5 Stars

Don't miss this Hal Jordan - Green Lantern New52 with any reasons.

You can find this Green Lantern and his team at

DC New 52 Justice League Promo Poster

From the Manufacturer
A Kotobukiya Japanese import. It’s a bird, it’s a plane. DC Comics’ “New 52” is nearly one year old and already it’s made a huge impact on the medium. With 52 re-launched titles the event attracted new readers and gave longtime fans a change of pace. The new storylines also brought new looks and costumes to familiar characters, and Kotobukiya is celebrating those designs in a new series of ArtFX+ Statues starting with none other than the Man of Steel himself, SUPERMAN. Clark Kent is the last surviving son of planet Krypton, sent to Earth to avoid its destruction. The combination of his ancestry and our planet’s yellow sun has given him incredible powers which he uses to defend humanity against its greatest threats. Superman stands in a classic heroic pose, his feet spread apart and his fists held tensely at his sides. The intense look on his face captures the Kryptonian’s focus and drive, while his intricately sculpted muscles show you that he has the power to back it up. Superman’s resplendent red and blue New 52 costume is accurate down to the last detail with its iconic red on yellow “S” emblem, textured suit, technological belt and boots, and of course his long cape. The Man of Steel stands 7 ½ " tall (in the ArtFX+ 1/10th scale) on his included magnetic display base. Superman will be joined by his fellow Justice League of America members with a new release coming each month, so get them all and display your own superhero team.

From BabyGL2814
When DC comics decided to re-launched their Universe, the first thing I(and a lot of people around the world) say is "Whattttttttttttttt?, How's about Batman, Green Lantern Hal Jordan/Kyle Rayner and Superman that I knew?". But now, it's OK, it's good for
  • New coming reader.
  • Have a lot of new (or reused) story to tell.
  • New design of costume
  • New background of heroes 
  • etc.
And then I found Kotobukiya announced about their ArtFX+ Statue that capture on DC New 52 Justice League First Appearance. My feeling is "Oh yeah, it's time for me to collect a great quality product of DC Character". 7 Characters that will launch are
  • Superman (Available now!)
  • Green Lantern (Available now!)
  • The Flash (Available now!)
  • Aquaman (Available in April 2013)
  • Batman (Available in May 2013)
  • Wonder Woman (Available in June 2013)
  • Cyborg (Available in July 2013)
After a long waiting day I got it "The New 52: Superman ArtFX+ Statue". First impression of this Kotobukiya ArtFX+ Superman is a great work as ever of Superman statue(that I ever see), the same great work as promo picture. It come with metallic color in all costume part. "S" logo of Superman is red/gold(instead of yellow) color. Action of this Figure is great, it's very similar to promo poster. Line of Superman's suit is clear and sharp. A little disappoint of this figure is some fade spot of color on figure, it can't see with overview looking but can see when you focus on it.

Picture below will show you with real product in my hand.
