Superior Carnage Returns with Deadpool in His Sights

Posted by Orion Petitclerc - Tuesday, December 31, 2013
As 2013 comes to a close, I reflect back on all of the awesome and sad moments in my fandoms throughout the year. With Venom and symbiotes in particular, we saw Flash Thompson, a.k.a. Agent Venom, make Philadelphia his new home; join the Thunderbolts; battle against the Venom symbiote's old host, Eddie Brock (a.k.a. Toxin); birth a new symbiotic sidekick, Mania; and survive past the end of his monthly ongoing series in a battle against...
In a TV world overwhelmed by a constant stream of zombies, betrayals, meth, and L.A. decadence, a place where the new rots to old and forgives no one for any lack of originality, comes an unusual masterpiece: Lilyhammer. The show is unusual because of its oil-and-water circumstances, its star, and especially its bilingual nature (English and Norwegian), which usually is grounds for a death sentence unless it's either Spanish or Elvish....

Destined 44 Greatness: 44Flood

Posted by Anonymous - Monday, December 30, 2013
From the time you emerge from the land of dreams, press through the uncomfortable threshold of darkness at the edge of your inner sanctuary and descend the sad steps of your terribly boring home, it quickly becomes obvious how lacking the day will be. The daunt of simple tasks, the depressed pain of moving your bones, and the very mundane repetitiveness of the every day and the soul eating melancholia that goes with it steal away what...
We're closer and closer to getting the Sinister Six on screen and over time, even more villains are being teased that could potentially show up in the Amazing Spider-Man series. There have been references to Morbius, Vulture, Doctor Octopus, and even Alistair Smythe to go along with the already confirmed Green Goblin, Electro and Rhino that we know we're getting in Amazing Spider-Man 2. Everyone is always clamoring for characters like...

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Review

Posted by DAJB - Sunday, December 29, 2013
I can trace my love of all things fantasy directly back to the first time I read The Hobbit at the age of around nine and, as such, it's always had a special place in my affections. Maybe that's why, despite his success at adapting The Lord of the Rings for the big screen, I had doubts about Peter Jackson's ability to do the same for my childhood favourite. The Hobbit is, after all, a children's book at heart...

Pokemon: 5 Stupid Things About the TV Show

Posted by Anthony Mango - Saturday, December 28, 2013
As a kid, I was completely sucked into the Pokémon craze. I had full sets of the cards, pretty much all of the video games (with manuals to go with them), tons of toys, you name it. To this day, I still have an appreciation for the series. I'd be playing Pokémon X & Y if I had the system for it, just the same as I played all of the other generations. But as much as those trading cards aren't worth a damn now compared to what they...

The Master of Plagues Book Review

Posted by Anonymous - Thursday, December 26, 2013
Revenge is a dish best served plagued…with kosher fiction and unleavened insanity. D.B. Reynolds has put together a story of divine revenge in Master of Plagues, which is definitely enjoyable in a world where you can't count on the comfort of simple revenge from time to time. In this book, Stuart Duffelmeyer is a young Jewish student on the verge of graduation. He's smart, he's quiet, and he is most definitely still a virgin. It's a combination...
