YouTube of the Week: Actione! Velocita! Goblin! Edition

May 19, 2008 by Dave

Italian Spiderman. Every place I’ve seen it have said that the “full film” is being released May 22. I have no idea what it is going to be, but hey, the trailer’s funny!

“Mouse Guard” RPG: A Points of Light setting

May 6, 2008 by Dave

This past weekend while picking up my free comics, I grabbed the Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 collection. This is a great fantasy comic series about elite mice who protect a tiny kingdom from threats both external (crabs, snakes, and other large creatures) and internal (traitorous officials.) I had owned several of the individual issues before […]

Inq. of the Week: Fury vs. Fury

May 5, 2008 by Dave

Over the weekend, we were fortunate enough to have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR quality reviews! TheMainEvent reviewed Iron Man Bartoneus reviewed GTA IV OriginalSultan reviewed Incan Gold ChattyDM reviewed Mario Kart Wii (thanks again for the guest post, and go check his site out! A must-read for RPGers!) Thus, I declared […]

Marvel Movieverse!

May 5, 2008 by The Main Event

Can Marvel keep a high quality line and connected universe up and running? (Hint: Use Paul Dini’s animated DCU [Diniverse] as a solid model!)

Free Comic Book Day is Tomorrow

May 2, 2008 by Dave

Somehow this year’s FCBD almost slipped by me- there seems to be a palpable lack of buzz around it this year, and I’ve barely seen it mentioned in any of the comic blogs. Has the event become tired and worn? Has the emphasis shifted from corporate level advertising to stores doing their own things to […]

Review: Iron Man

May 1, 2008 by The Main Event

General: Iron Man is a faithful fun-filled adaptation of one the most flawed heroes in comicdom. Tony Stark is a womanizing, irresponsible, hard-partying, smug son of a bitch, but he’s super-cool. His ascendancy into superherodom doesn’t necessarily change that, it just gives him a sense of obligations and duty. His origins remain true in spirit, […]

From the WTF Crossover Department…

April 18, 2008 by Dave

Many years after Capcom vs. Marvel, the other side(s) have responded! A Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game looks to be in development (and has a brief Sub-Zero vs. Batman brawl trailer.) I suppose in video games, ridiculous crossovers will never go out of style, no matter how advanced the graphics are! Who wants to […]

“You’re a disgrace to Tauren culture,” said the shaman Lolhamburger

April 18, 2008 by Dave

Normally I don’t link to Penny Arcade, since telling gamers to read Penny Arcade is like telling ninjas to sneak around: it’s just gonna happen anyway. Today’s column is well worth reading and recommending. The results of their “Exactly 10 Words about WoW” contest were posted today. There’s some really good ones in there, both […]

Anime Batman and Other Hidden Comic Movies

March 20, 2008 by Dave

By now, most of you are probably aware of all the big superhero movies coming out this summer. However, there are a few other projects that haven’t gotten quite as much attention that I’m interested in. Justice League: New Frontier was released recently, and since I was a huge fan of the original comic, I […]

Watchmen Characters Revealed

March 6, 2008 by Bartoneus

Today is exactly one year until the movie Watchmen is released, and now they’ve released a group of images of what many of the main characters look like.  Head over to the Watchmen site to see all of the glorious full-size shots. I have to say that I think these are perfect, especially the Comedian […]
