all new x-men-top

Marvel decided to start all over with “Marvel Now!”. Let’s go back to issue number one they said. Let’s make a fresh start of this, kind of. DC saw this and said if they’re doing it we have to do it too. Welcome to a brand new comic book universe, kind of. Admittedly I am [...]

Mike Del Mundo is one of the few cover artists out there right now who consistently creates work that is both imaginative and thought provoking, a real feat in my book. Here is a link to his work: deadlydelmundo.com, I think you will especially appreciate the stained glass incredible hulk cover. There are so many [...]

The con begins today and I wish wish wish I was there. There are few comic cons besides the SDCC that truly break my heart to miss. Let’s face it the NYCC is in the heart of arguably the most incredible city in the United States. Within its confines you can find some of the [...]

This completely beautiful twisty-turny bit of fabulousness hits shelves in November. J.M DeMatteis’ new all ages comic The Adventures of Augusta Wind is one of those comics just begging for attention. DeMattieis work ranges from a run on Moonshadow to stint on Justice League. He’s known for his ability to tell captivating, heart warming stories and from the look of it, Augusta Wind [...]

I walked out of this film with an acute sense of frustration. This beast of a sequel is nearly 3 hours long, follows 2 incredible, ground breaking, Batman movies, and was directed by one of my all time favorite movie makers Christopher Nolan. It should have been incredible, and yet it failed on so many [...]

This isn’t exactly a review of the new Amazing Spider-Man film. I mean, there are criticisms to be gleaned, but it’s not really my intent to write a review of a film already way over reviewed. Initially the news of a new Spider-Man movie elicited a deep billowing groan. With all of the incredible comics [...]

Simone Bianchi cover art on Wolverine #310 hits you like a Adamantium infussed punch in the face. This incredible cover is hands down the best I’ve seen for the month of July. Bianchi makes me want to read this book in the same way that Frazetta made me want to read crappy SciFi fantasy novels. I [...]

vendeta

Remember, remember the fifth of November. These words will accompany you from this film like a trusted friend. Too often we depart from the darkness of a movie theater with only the pale recollections of where the last one hundred and twenty minutes of our lives have just been wasted. But Vendetta made me think. I found myself wanting to discuss the issues brought up within the confines of its plot. The story was written by the ever incredible comic scribe Alan Moore. Alan is best known for his comics The Watchmen and of course The League of Extraordinary Gentleman. Vendetta is taken from the trade paper back of the same name.

If you haven’t already seen this amazing movie, then I say get off of your squishy bums and plop down your $8.50 baby! Because you are in for a treat, it’s like pop rocks candy for your eyes. To say that this movie was awesome is such an understatement. Between the incredible and inventive cinematography [...]
