I thought it was pretty good, myself. The JSA characters looked great, especially Sandman. They got the look of the gasmask and sleep gas gun very close. Doctor Fate looked great, especially the glowing eyes in/on the Helmet of Fate. The only character who… Continue
I mean, really. Rebooting a character/franchise after one film just seems silly to me. While I don't totally hate the Affleck-fueled film, it's not nearly as bad as some make it out to be. I particularly liked the representation off DD's radar sense. And Jon Favere… Continue
So now Megan Fox is pushing tech toys, because, you know, she's in the Transformers movies, so she just knows this stuff. Yet another reason to avoid the Super Bowl every year. Continue

If you're like me and you think that the Superbowl is a colossal waste of time, money and energy, there are all kinds of fun alternatives that will make you look and feel a lot smarter than those who walk like sheep to the Superbowl slaughter.

For all those gamers out there that enjoyed the artistry of Bioshock, we are a mere few days away of the heavily anticipated release of Bioshock 2.
For almost a year now a viral website called Something in the Sea has been slowly giving hints towards the release of the game. It is without a doubt one of the most in-depth and enthralling experiences out there ranging from a single page website to a literal worldwide manhunt involving live action players, secret clues scattered across the… Continue
In this exciting new segment of Kick Ass Corner, Mike Dufays and the talented Riot Act team show us how it's done with wire work both in the movies, and the even more challenging endeavour of wire choreography on a live stage. Also, Mike gets punched in the face. What more could… Continue
This week's winner is Jonathan Llyr, who whipped up a Back to the Future reference faster than Seth MacFarlane with writer's block. The panel, by the way, came from Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #45, June 1960. Of course, every panel… Continue
Since I won't be wasting my time watching this so called "Super" Bowl the only way I'll see any of the ads is on the internet. Here's the one for The Last Airbender.

Kage Baker, author of the truly wonderful "Company" novels, passed away on Sunday after a battle with cancer. More story here and a lovely tribute essay… Continue
