Snow White and the Huntsman is not your father’s (or mother’s) fairy tale. Having grown up with Disney’s Snow White my knowledge of the character is one of singing birds, seven dwarves and an evil queen. Interestingly enough, Snow White and the Huntsman also has birds, dwarves, and...
I don't know what's wrong but Cap shouldn't look like this
Let me set the stage for you. I am a huge Marvel fanboy, I have been reading Marvel comics for more than 30 years. When they started making movies I loved those too (yes, I even liked Fleck’s Daredevil and Cage’s Ghost...
The Hunger Games combines action, suspense and compassion with fireballs, scary dogs and fancy beards creating a sure spring blockbuster. It was a book and is now a movie that almost all the men and women I know both read and are dying to see.
If you’ve ever watched Law and Order or any of the procedural crime dramas on TV today you’ve likely realized that solving crimes as quickly as they do isn’t terribly realistic. Well the Green River Killer shows you what hunting down a serial killer is really like,
The Adventures of Tintin is an animated epic filled with adventure and excitement. My 8-year-old daughter and I got to attend an early screening specifically so she could give a kid’s perspective on the film.
If you picked Cake, you win. Cake recently headlined a local radio station’s Nightmare Before X-Mas concert (X96 if you’re a Utah local). The event took place at the Great Saltair, a concert venue located on the shore of the Great Salt Lake. My grandparent’s used to go to dances there...
My comic reviews have been suffering lately due to Batman, oh the irony. A month or so ago I picked up Batman: Arkham City for my PS3 after having really enjoyed Batman: Arkham Asylum.
I’ve expressed my love for all things Joe in the past and I really enjoyed the first Snake Eyes story arc. However, this second arc isn’t flowing as well for me. In past issues Duke has been infected with a Cobra bio agent and he and Snake are now on the hunt for the cure. They conveniently...
Thanks to WPR I got to see Hugo a few days early (you all had a chance as well, we gave away tickets). My family was pretty excited to see it, my daughter’s teacher had just finished reading the book to her class (she’s in second grade) so she was especially excited.
I’ve had mixed feelings about Star Wars comics (and novels for that matter) in the past. Some really add to the mythos others seem to be attempts to cash in on the huge franchise. Personally, I haven’t ever read any of the previous Crimson Empire books but if this first issue of the the third,...
So after the first issue of Dark Horse Comics‘ Orchid I was really looking forward to the second. I wish I could say I wasn’t a little bit disappointed.
I have a lot of history with the quirky pop band They Might Be Giants. Their second and in my opinion most popular album Flood was the first cassette tape I went down to the mall specifically to buy (who remembers Musicland and Sam Goody?).
So I just picked up Fear Itself #7 today and was really curious how the storyline was going to wrap up in one issue. Needless to say I was not disappointed. Marvel’s event of the year was spectacular.
James Bond is going back to his roots only his name isn’t Bond it’s Swann. Creator John Byrne has effectively created a very Bond-like universe with Michael Swann.
Mix three parts Harry Potter with two parts Twilight and a mix of Horseland (yes the Saturday morning cartoon, what? I have kids) and you get House of Night. A story of a young girl who has found out she’s a vampyre (their spelling, not mine) and been sent to learn at Hogwa…I mean the House...
I read Orchid #1 completely through before discovering that it was written by Tom Morello, guitar playing mastermind from Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. Initially upon discovering Morello was writing a comic my thought was this dude is too much of a guitar all-star to be wasting his talents...
So a few weeks back I wrote up a preview of what I thought about DC’s new 52. I was highly interested in seeing if some of the comics I thought would be good really were or if the bad were as bad as they looked.
