Comic's most enduring character comes to TV

May 26, 2006 by Dave

Did I say enduring? I meant most made fun of. It’s been pulled from YouTube and the official site, but you can still find the Aquaman trailer online. The full pilot may be out there somewhere, if it was leaked. The status of the show is still in limbo: CW originally passed on it, but […]

Nic Cage is on Fire

May 24, 2006 by Dave

IGN lists the 'Top 25' X-Men

May 21, 2006 by The Bored Gamer

A pretty decent list of what IGN says are the top 25 X-men. I definitely don’t agree with some of the listing ( Jean Grey is #6?!? What crack are they smokin’?
