Following older discussions about the differences between the Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings book series, as well as a lot of the inevitable flak pertaining to the Left Behind RTS game, I ask you: Can Religion be a part of Games, Comics, and Movies?
Baltimore Comic-Con This Weekend
Just so that you are aware, if you are within five states of Maryland and have ever looked at a comic, you are required BY LAW to attend the Baltimore Comic-con this weekend. The punishment for disobeying the law is creative Panda attack.
Emerald Archer Comes to Smallville
Even though I’m a huge DC comics geek, I don’t watch Smallville. I watched it during its early years, and got turned off by the “freak of the week” phoenomenon, and over the top use of Superman’s mythos (it doesn’t seem like they’ll leave anything for him to do when he actually grows up!) This […]
YouTube of the Week: 'Nuff Said Edition
(It’s a full pilot, around 20 minutes, so beware before you start watching. And it’s a shame this isn’t way better, since it features my three favorite comedians.)
When Genres Collide

(No doubt, of course, that he is […]
Spiderman Returns

Holy Crap, It's Neil Gaiman!
Over a week ago, many of us went to Balticon as we tend to do every year. This year was different in many ways, however, not only due to the change in location but also the Guest of Honor. In many of the recent cons the GoH has been, shall I say, obscure. With the […]
Comic's most enduring character comes to TV
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 […]
