What started out as just another all-female "fan service" book has quickly and gracefully evolved into a story with great depth and perspectives into characters that we've long been without. Fearless Defenders, thus far, has been a story of Valkyrie, a former Defender, and her quest to assemble a group of worthy Shield Maidens. The powerful first act of the series has now ended, which brings us to Fearless Defenders #7 to pick up where...

Max Landis Death & Return of Superman Pitch

Posted by Anthony Mango - Tuesday, July 30, 2013
Max Landis, writer of the movie Chronicle, has taken to YouTube to talk about his pitch for a reboot of the DEATH AND RETURN OF SUPERMAN storyline. It's a long view (42 minutes) of him telling you his idea for it, but if you're a fan of comics (and I bet you are, you fanboy you) then I highly suggest checking it out. The storyline itself is a bit of an amalgam take on several different concepts and I frankly found it to be fascinating. Go...
New Avengers #8 kills off The Living Tribunal, the second most powerful character in the ENTIRE Marvel Universe. His three faces couldn't see it coming Yes, that means more powerful than Hulk, Thor, the Celestials, random concepts like Eternity and Infinity, even Thanos and Galactus. In fact, The Living Tribunal is supposed to be only eclipsed by one character in the entire multiverse of Marvel...The One-Above-All. Cause, you know,...

Turbo Movie Review Hits & Misses

Posted by Anthony Mango
Turbo, directed by David Soren, written by Darren Lemke, Robert D. Siegel and David Soren, starring Ryan Reynolds (Turbo), Paul Giamatti (Chet), Michael Peña (Tito), Samuel L. Jackson (Whiplash), Bill Hader (Guy Gagné), Luis Guzmán (Angelo), Maya Rudolph (Burn) and Snoop Dogg (Smoove Move). Sometimes, the comic book movies and emotionally exhausting dramas just need to be put on the backburner to make room for something that seems like...
Being what I consider to be in the mainstream of video games, I tend to, like everyone else, gravitate towards the most pronounced and name-branded games out on the market. Such franchises like Resident Evil and God of War have graced my consoles over the years. But once in a while I do find a game out there that many people have seemingly never heard about. and when that happens, I feel it my duty to share said gems to the world at large....

The Wolverine Movie Review Hits and Misses

Posted by Anthony Mango - Friday, July 26, 2013
The Wolverine, directed by James Mangold, written by Mark Bomback and Scott Frank, starring Hugh Jackman (Logan), Tao Okamoto (Mariko), Rila Fukushima (Yukio), Hiroyuki Sanada (Shingen), Svetlana Khodchenkova (Viper) and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey). When X-Men Origins: Wolverine turned out to be as bad as it was, the future of the X-Men franchise was in question. Particularly, how could they do a spinoff if the one that was guaranteed to...

Marconi Union's Weightless - The Most Relaxing Song Ever?

Posted by Anthony Mango - Thursday, July 25, 2013
Have you ever felt like you needed to relax and just couldn't find that song that would help you do it? Apparently, you don't need to look any further, as a group of scientists have figured out how to make the most relaxing musical tune ever. Marconi Union, a band of "sound therapists" are responsible for creating the song, which supposedly is even more effective at relaxing humans than things like massages, tea, bubble baths, etc. It...

The Dace Man Show Ep 5 - Zimmerman is Playing Spiderman

Join The Dace Man this week as he tackles: Celeb News This Week: A stripper from CA who had been saving her one dollar bills over her 15 year career has won a case to retrieve the money from an officer in NJ who had confiscated it from her lackeys.

If you're looking for an app that lets you control your computer via your phone, I highly recommend Winput. I've tried about ten other ones over the course of the past few months and there hasn't been a single one that I would bother suggesting people download. For instance, Remote Mouse was problematic when it came to three different factors. If you were to use the magnifier on your computer, it wouldn't recognize the mouse the same...
Sub Pop Record's official Tumblr page posted something interesting today, a letter sent by a college student who claims to be a mascot who hopes to have Nirvana record a special greeting for their Homecoming video. One could assume that perhaps this was a letter from the past that was dug up... until they start talking about posting the video to YouTube and sending it via iPhone. Where to begin? First off, why Sub Pop and not Geffen?...
No actor will ever be quoted as saying that their favourite part of the movie making process is doing interviews to promote the film. In fact, it's not uncommon for actors to down right seclude themselves from doing it. However, Bruce Willis takes it to new levels while on an interview alongside co-star Mary-Louise Parker with Magic 105.4's entertainment reporter Jamie Edwards. While Jamie just tries to do his job and ask his guests about...
Someone has to die in the upcoming sequel to Thor, entitled Thor: The Dark World...but who should that be? First off, you might be thinking "WHY does somebody have to die?" It's because the stakes need to be raised and Thor has far too many peripheral characters NOT for someone to be killed off to do so. Think about it. We have Thor, Odin, Fandral, Hogun, Volstagg, Lady Sif, Loki, Frigga, Heimdall, Jane, Dr. Erik Selvig, Darcy Lewis as...

White House Down, directed by Roland Emmerich, written by James Vanderbilt, starring Channing Tatum (John Cale), Jamie Foxx (President James Sawyer), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Carol Finnerty), Jason Clarke (Emil Stenz) and James Woods (Martin Walker). I've been watching a string of disappointing movies, from The Lone Ranger to the two Grown Ups films and G.I. Joe Retaliation and even Man of Steel, so when it came to White House Down, I was desperately...

Batman/Superman Villains Speculation - Lex Luthor & Metallo?

Posted by Anthony Mango - Monday, July 22, 2013
Now that the Man of Steel sequel has been announced as a Batman / Superman crossover, speculation has begun on everything from "who will play Batman" to "what will the storyline be" and everything in between, so I figured I would throw my ideas around for just how I think this will go. Obviously, they need to build upon the previous film. Superman is still not gold with the public. Metropolis and Smallville were SEVERELY ruined with Zod's...
Comic-Con 2013 has given us some more information on season 2 of the CW television series Arrow. The Black Canary story will start to be told, but it may not necessarily start with Laurel Lance. I still think they should have named her Dinah, like...you know...her character should be? Roy Harper will be put through his own trials and tests to becoming Red Arrow (or Arsenal...they haven't really said) We'll start to see a transition from...
The title to the Avengers sequel has been revealed as AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON. My first reaction? Awesome! My second reaction? Wait...what? Joss Whedon has said that both there won't be Hank Pym in this film and that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will have a big role, which means I'm utterly confused. First off, when it comes to the Maximoff siblings, I've always thought it was a stupid idea to bring them on board. Granted, I don't know...
Big news coming from Comic-Con. A new BATMAN/SUPERMAN crossover film is finally coming to fruition through the vision of Zack Snyder and David S. Goyer. This, my friends, is a good thing. As I have stated time and time again, in order for a Justice League movie to happen, DC needs to expand its universe. What better way to do this than to give the fans what they want with a World's Finest movie? Since it's announcement, the internet...
Episode 34 of the I Got Gameplay podcast is now online. On this episode Michael Burhan, Shaun Walker, Mike Paden, and Jeff Croop discuss Gaming Sidekicks, from the good to the bad and the unhelpful. The group breaks down the characters, their strengths and their weaknesses, and why playing with the AI is worse than playing with a second player. The hosts will also be highlighting the sidekicks that annoy them the most. An amazing not-to-miss...

San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive: World of WarCraft Movie

Posted by The Dace Man - Saturday, July 20, 2013
That's right Fanboys you are reading the title correctly. A World of WarCraft movie is in the works. Live at the San Diego Comic-Con during the Warner Bros and Legendary panel, a brief clip was shown featuring a knight drawing his sword and picking up a shield from a skeleton. The camera then follows creatures coming over the hills and pans in on an Orc who is picking up speed. Just as the Orc's blade comes down, the clip cuts to to the...

90's Kid Presents: Pokemon Special

Posted by Miguel Leon
Pokemon.........nuff said. That's all you need. If you grew up in the 90's, chances are you just smiled at the sight of that first word. Pokemon hit the scene in 1998 in America, and seemingly would go on to rule the world from 1998 (or 1996 if you lived in Japan) into the 2000s and today. From games to movies, from cards to toys, to everything in between. Pokemon may not be as massive as it once was, but its still going strong with its...
