WPR’s Totally Absurd Predictions for 2012

by Xopher Reed under FEATURED on Jan 2nd

It’s easy to do a year-in-review post. Hell, every big blog out there has done one either today or yesterday (depending on your timezone), but it takes a site that wants to have a bit of fun with the media we love to make a predictions post. Here is what WPR thinks we’ll see this year…maybe.

RLR #113 – The People’s Elbow

It’s either a genius move to allow us to drink copious amounts of malt liquor before and during a show, or it’s a terrible idea and should never be done again. You decide.

Star Wars Crimson Empire III #1 Review

by Chad under READ on Nov 10th

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, and I believe final, part of the series it has me highly intrigued.
