Trailer Time: “Attraction” (Притяжение) In September I posted a trailer of the upcoming Russian superhero film "Guardians" (Защитники), so I figured I'd start "Trailer Time" again with another Russian film called "Attraction" (Притяжение).

Sorry for the skip week, loyal readers.  But now I’m back and ready to dive in once more.  We’re not going to the news this week, we’re just going to jump right into the reviews, here at: October 2nd, 2016 Book(s) of the Month Superman #7 (DC) By Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason with art by Jorge Jimenez and Alejandro Sanchez So last time, I named Superman #6 my best book for it’s epic action…

We’re running out of summer and into fall and into the last con of the season.  News is light as the big names prepare for the New York Comic Con, the news is a little light, but the comics are still coming.  So let’s see what we’ve got on: September 10th, 2016 Nighthawk:  You mean the ultra-violent Batman knock off from a line that couldn’t sustain itself was cancelled?  That is such a surprise.…

Spandex and Capes

Welcome back, folks.  Lots of stuff going on – some good books, some bad books, and in a stunner a returning book – because I just can’t keep my mouth shut.  But first, on to the news, here at: August 28th, 2016 Civil War II Extra Issue: I’m getting vibes of Secret Wars here.  It also worries me that four issues in and Mr. Bendis has found a “better ending” for the story that has been at least a…

Trailer Time: “Arrival” I have been fascinated with astronomy and aliens since I was young.  "Arrival" looks to be one of the next films to answer the question of whether or not we're alone in the universe.

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to my latest ramblings.  We’ve got a lot of news out of the TV world as both ABC and CW release information about their various shows.  Plus we’ll have comic talk and some solicitations already.  So let’s get started here on: August 13th, 2016 Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: We got some information out of ABC about who will be joining the show and what the show will involve:…

Game Review | Time And Eternity

Game Review | Time And Eternity

Author’s note: This is a reprint of a review I did back in 2012. It is still 100% accurate to this day. When writing a review it’s almost always hard to avoid letting oneself get too attached to the game being played and reviewed. Almost too often you can either get really into a game and miss important things that need changing, or you entirely detach yourself from it and miss important things…

A Con Story: Too Many Games 2016

A Con Story: Too Many Games 2016

So, it’s about time that I talk to you all about Too Many Games 2016. It’s been almost 3 weeks since TMG2016, and to encapsulate the experience, it was even better than last year. This little (I don’t know how much longer you’ll be able to call it that) convention, at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA, is just getting better and better, year after year. I’ll start with the arcade,…

And we’re back again covering a skip week with a a lot of lackluster books as well as a regular week.  I had forgotten the slim pickings on the skip weeks.  But let’s see what we had and pick out the good stuff, here at: June 26th, 2016 Divided We Stand: Well, the latest tease of Marvel’s newest status quo is here… and I’m not that excited.  I’ll check out some of the titles, but in general I’m…

Spandex and Capes #40

Welcome back.  Sorry  I’ve been missing for the last few weeks, my cat decided that my computer would look better on the floor than it did on the table.  Had to get a new one.  Anyway, last time, I promised you some changes and here we are.  I’ve come up with new system of scoring comics based on costumes.  I thought it was more fitting for a article entitled Spandex and Capes.  Previously will…

Trailer Time: “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” Ever since I saw the first teaser for this film, I have to say I've been interested to see more footage and even the film itself.

Trailer Time: “Marco Polo Season 2” I had my doubts when the first season of "Marco Polo" was released.  It only took an episode or two of watching it, though, for those doubts to pass as it was a huge surprise.

Trailer Time: “The Space Between Us” Traveling to Mars has been a popular science fiction topic for years.  As the technology for such a trip is becoming more science fact, more films are being released with real life scenarios (such as last year's "The Martian").

Trailer Time: "The Order"

Trailer Time: “The Order”

I first heard the earliest idea of this film back in 2014 when I went to Rangerstop in Orlando, Florida.  I personally thought something like this would never happen, but as you can see at the link below it’s definitely happening…with some help from the fans.  “The Order” is a film about a secret organization of trained agents that eliminate violent threats and disasters.  It stars many of the…
