REVIEW: Jennifer Blood #1

Posted on by

Or – “A Garth Ennis Joint With A Name Like This?  Oh, Yes, There Will Be Blood.”

I’ll say this for the work of Garth Ennis:  I don’t always know where the story is going, and sometimes I don’t like where it ends up, but I generally trust that the ride will be worth the jolts.  It’s sort of like stepping onto the Gravitron, while a carnie named Junior who you just KNOW is a meth addict eats half a corndog and drinks malt liquor out of a brown paper bag.  Or as a wise young topless woman once told me: ‘A cheap thrill is still a thrill.’

REVIEW: Soldier Zero #5

Posted on by

The last time I read Soldier Zero, I was none too impressed, marking the book at just above average. Issue five marks the beginning of a new story-line from a new writer/artist team – can it re-capture my interest? Find out after the jump!

GAME REVIEW: Two Worlds II

Posted on by


When Reality Pump released Two Worlds in the fall of 2007, the game was noted by many critics as an ambitious game that fell flat due to its overwhelmingly unpolished and glitch-ridden delivery. My experience with the game was very similar. Coming fresh from the gameplay offered in the 2006 release The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, I had high hopes that Two Worlds would continue to satisfy my RPG needs. Sadly, I returned the game shortly after first starting it up.

In many ways, Two Worlds 2 is the same as its predecessor in terms of shortcomings, but it does offer up some interesting aspects that will grab RPG fans’ interest.

REVIEW: Northern Guard #2

Posted on by

Or – “Classic Heroes Unfamiliar To ME???  INCONCIEVABLE!!”

Being from the wilds of Kansas, I have a particular regional view of my comics.  The Hulk fought Spider-Man in Kansas City, rather than Denver or Noo Yawk, I never see the Bronze Age regional 35-cent variants, and it’s damn near impossible to find late 60′s alternative rarities like witzend or the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.  That said, I have heard rumblings of the Golden Age of Canadian comics, names like Freelance, Nelvana of the Northern Lights, and Johnny Canuck, but they’ve never made it down to my neck of the woods.  (Some might question my ability to even FIND Canadia, given my state’s notoriety in terms of education.)  Those heroes are back, thanks to Moonstone Publishing, giving us an entryway into the Golden Age of the Great White North, and it’s time to hit the trail for some comics history that’s esoteric even for ME.  I’ve been looking forward to this one…

INTERVIEW: Andrea Romano

Posted on by

Press Release

To vocally craft the characters within the DC Universe Animated Original Movies, the production brain trust of DC Entertainment, Warner Premiere, Warner Home Video and Warner Bros. Animation is smart enough to employ the best in the business – on both sides of the microphone.

While winners of Oscars, Emmys and Tonys alike provide the voices behind some of the world’s best known comic book characters, it is the super hero of voice directors that guides these unique talents – Andrea Romano.

Arguably the top animation voiceover director in the business today, Romano has been instrumental in orchestrating the vocal tones behind the first 10 DCU animated films, including the highly anticipated February 22 release of All-Star Superman.

TOY FAIR 2011: More than meets the eye in new Hasbro Transformers line

Posted on by

With the summer release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon coming soon it’s only natural that Hasbro focused most of its Transformers presentation on it. While most of the movie figures are merely updates of what fans have seen from the previous two film’s toy lines, Hasbro did have a few tricks up their sleeves.
