Winter is Coming (to HBO)

November 12, 2008 by The Main Event

George R.R. Martin’s fantasy epic has been greenlighted. The plan is to adapt one novel each season, starting with 1996’s “A Game of Thrones.” – AintitCool Martin himself will be doing some of the writing chores (further pushing back Dance of Dragons, eh?) along with others.  Frankly, I’m really excited.  After seeing Rome/Deadwood I have faith […]

The Amazing Graysons: Baby Nightwing?

October 1, 2008 by The Main Event

In honor of our Inquisition: It looks like the CW doesn’t want to leave a void when comic book inspired Smallville finally ends… But, really though, I wonder how interesting a bunch of circus performer will be?  Surely we won’t have Dick flying around a trapeze for 8 whole seasons?  The actor would age past […]

Preview: “Dr. Who RPG” and “Starblazer Adventures” RPG from Cubicle 7 Entertianment

August 22, 2008 by Dave

While wandering around the GenCon 2008 exhibit hall, one booth caught my eye: Cubicle 7 Entertainment, which had signs all over the booth advertising the upcoming Dr. Who RPG. I’m a huge fan of the new Dr. Who series, so I had to stop and ask about it. (I also remembered playing in a Dr. […]

“Free comic like instant courage — only find it on Internet.”

July 30, 2008 by Dave

A few pieces of random Watchmen mania (Watchmania?) First of all, this is genius. Second, a Chip Kidd-designed Watchmen extras book is awesome. Finally, while playing around with my new video iPod, I came across a Watchmen “motion comic” on iTunes. Only the first episode is up, but it’s free, so I checked it out. […]

Why You Shouldn’t Watch Firefly

July 30, 2008 by Sucilaria

Many, if not most of you, have already viewed Joss Whedon’s Firefly series and the follow-up film, Serenity. This article is not intended for you; however, let me say that I’m sorry.
