I don't know why this exists, but I'm glad it does. It reminds me a bit of Adult Swim's promos from their heyday and that's a good thing! Check it out... it's catchy.
Read MoreFour-player Co-op Mode In This Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Power Changes Everything Trailer
It’s a four-player co-op mode in a Call of Duty game–no suprise there and yes, it looks pretty fun.
Read MoreReview: Sundowners #2
I want to be kind to Sundowners when reviewing it because I think it’s trying to do something original, but I’m torn because at the moment I still don’t know what the hell is going on. A comic book about a superhero support group at first glance, Tim Seeley and Jim Terry seem intent on taking this book way beyond that into stranger worlds where H.P. Lovecraft and Grant Morrison hold séances.
Read MoreReview: Nightbreed #5
Nightbreed’s cover really freaks me out this week. If you are reading this review then you know that it is scary. I also have no idea what it is about, so dive in to find out.
Read MoreReview: The Massive #27
I’m loathe to use this metaphor in a book like The Massive because it’s just such low-hanging fruit, but issue 27 feels like the calm before the final storm in the series. We’ve just had the biggest reveal of the series, and Brian Wood and Garry Brown let us live in the moment for an issue, gathering where we stand now, and what we know is coming for the Ninth Wavers.
Read MoreReview: Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #16
Lucy and her team face many riddles regarding the activities they just experienced. Mecha-King Ghidora abducted Godzilla. Anguirus still remains missing while Steve Woods and Allie continue to recover in the rubble.
Read MoreReview: Samurai Jack #12
Samurai Jack has come back with a bang. I didn’t quite agree with the whole silence issues, but now that we are on a new story arc, I see why everyone loves this comic.
Read MoreReview: Bee and Puppycat #4
I first found out about Bee and Puppycat when a woman I was dating sent me a link to the initial animated short Natasha Allegri had created for a Kickstarter campaign. The show I saw completely charmed me with its two leading characters, and the absurd turns their story took, culminating in Puppycat taking Bee on an extra dimensional trip to score them a few bucks.
Read MoreReview: Conan The Avenger #6
You may remember me saying at the beginning of Fred Van Lente and Eduardo Francisco’s run on Conan the Avenger that I was lukewarm on the series, and that it didn’t seem like it was going anywhere.
Read MoreReview: Lumberjanes #6
I can barely contain my excitement; the new issue of Lumberjanes is out! Stop what you are doing, dig through the couch cushions for some extra cash and head immediately to your nearest comic book store to buy the new issue! And finally, last but not least feast your eyes on the wonderment of Lumberjanes. Simple, right?
Read MoreReview: Robyn Hood #2
Well Robyn is back in her new ongoing series and with issue one taking us all on a new ride, I was all set for two to do the same. See Pat Shand is bringing us the same badass Robyn, but with a twist. I have to say I like this new side. The differences lie in her setting.
Read MoreReview: Armor Hunters #4
Here’s the thing about event book mini-series… if you don’t stick the landing everyone forgets about your series and their faith in your next event is rattled. It’s why I don’t buy into either of the “big two’s” events anymore. They miss every damn landing.
Read MoreReview: Baltimore: The Witch of Harju #3
Dark skies drive a wind that rings a lone bell on a leafless tree to set the haunting mood for this issue of the World War I era monster hunter. Baltimore and his crew battle with the vile creatures of the forest while the Witch of Harju descends upon them.
Read MoreReview: Warlord of Oz #5
Every month Warlord of OZ out does itself. Issue 5 holds pivotal plotline that you will surely not want to miss. If I had any doubts about this arc they are washed away with this month’s adventure.
Read MoreReview: Butterfly #1
Butterflies are a lot like mustaches. I don’t mean in their, I dunno, biological makeup? I’m speaking more of their shared iconographical appropriation. See, mustaches used to be either robust or hilarious; verdant badges worn proudly by the brave, until a bunch of shit-stain hipsters stole them...without actually being able to properly grow one. The same is true of butterflies. Sorta.
Read MoreReview: Dash #1
It’s taken me a bit to find the right words for this review and there’s a chance that I still haven’t found them, but that’s the risk of every review.
Read MoreReview: Roche Limit #1
According to the Internet, a “Roche limit” is the distance at which a manmade or natural satellite, held together by its own gravitational pull (rather than simply being a solid mass), will be pulled apart by the gravity of a larger or more tidally-charged celestial body, like a planet.
Read MoreReview: Low #3
Low issue 3 is a huge turnaround from where the series has been, and it owes itself as much to a tonal shift in the writing as it does to a newfound clarity in the art that really works.
Read MoreReview: The Empty Man #4
Unlike some, I am not typically what you might call a “horror guy.” Don’t get me wrong, I like a good scare, but modern horror - be it in film, comic books or otherwise - seems to be complacent in eliciting its fright through gratuitous gore, rather than the psychological stuff that cranks my tractor. It is the implied - that which lurks at the periphery of the story - which, for me, terrifies the most and leaves a lasting impression. In terms of gore, less is more.
Read MoreReview: Elfquest: The Final Quest #5
It feels so long since the last issue of Elfquest has graced the shelves of comic book stores everywhere. But don’t worry, Wendy and Richard Pini have heard our fandom cries and have soothed our need with issue 5. Last month left us hanging when Teir fell off a cliff and Ember was still in the clutches of the evil human, Djun.
