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

The trailer to Ghost Rider is up. It’s a pretty risky property to tackle. The effects in the trailer look good, but can a good movie really come out of Constantine meets Torque? And can Nic Cage really play a 20-something motorcycle daredevil? Only time will tell.

Cthulhu vs. Predator vs. Superman

May 18, 2006 by Dave

Heroclix is probably their biggest and most recognizable Clix game, where superheroes from Marvel, DC, and others duke it out on a battlefield grid.

E3 gives me Glee in my Wii

May 10, 2006 by Dave

The best part of the new name of the system is all the puns it generates. So I am what you could call a lapsed video game player. While I own both an Xbox and a Gamecube (and once owned a PS2), I own less than 10 games for each. The games I play the […]

Official proof that I have no life

May 10, 2006 by Dave

I’m working on editing down our next installment of “Critical hits pwns…” where we get into it about Infinite Crisis. In the meantime, if you’re a comics fan, I scanned the two page spread near the end of the series that showcases all the heroes that will be featured in the weekly series 52 and […]
