The Internet is Coming for The IT Crowd
If you missed the announcement yesterday, The IT Crowd has come back, for one last episode. When a marvelous show is canceled, and is brought back to life years later usually one of two things happens. Either the comeback is better than the original, setting off in a new direction, breathing new life into a […]
MegaTokyo Omnibus #1: Blast from My Nerdy Past
Gather around children and let me tell you a tale, a tale from the days of the old internet. An internet that took so long to download a web page, you could go to the bathroom, get a snack and still have to wait for the page to finish loading. An internet you’d have to […]

Nowhere Men: Making All Their Nowhere Plans
Someday our planet might be one where the general public is enamored with the greatest scientific minds of our time. A world where it’s sexy and cool to be an inventor and creator. One where celebrity is about science and not about a pop star’s latest scandal. While we aren’t there yet, fortunately this is […]
Conan the Avenger #1: Shadows over Kush, a comic book review
Dark Horse builds a new Conan adventure from the bones of a Robert E Howard unpublished original. Howard began working on the story sometime in the 1930s, but never finished it before his tragic and untimely death. With untitled synopsis and a draft of a few chapters of the piece to work from, we have […]
The Eltingville Club #1: How Not to Act in Your Local Comic Shop
Mature Reader Warning: The Eltingville Club #1 and this review both contain explicit language. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the accurateness of The Eltingville Club by Evan Dorkin. With this issue weighing in with almost 50 ‘fucks’ and a few ‘cunts’ thrown in for good measure, this one isn’t for the kiddies. The […]
Game of Thrones: Breaker of Chains
This is the fourth season of Game of Thrones, as such; I should be used to the ebb and flow of action. The natural rhythm to the writing of Benioff and Weiss is to have each episode act as a beat and counter beat. This episode was a counter beat, in other words, it was […]
Disney’s Bears is a beautiful entry-level nature documentary
Given the intended young demographic for this nature documentary, a few things must be forgiven right out of the den. Chief among those is the anthropomorphism of the bears, followed closely by the limited zoological detail presented, and finally the narration. Given that, the film itself is incredibly enjoyable, and offers an insightful look into […]
Adventure Time returns with a 2-part season premiere, here is our advance review of Wake Up and Escape from the Citadel
Wow. Simply, wow. I’ll admit that I’ve probably watched the season premier at least 4 times since Cartoon Network sent it to me for this review. I may have watched it more, I don’t want you to judge me. I’m going to obviously leave this spoiler free because this season premier doesn’t deserve to be […]

Star Mage #1: Abducted by Space Wizards?
Okay, I confess. I probably would have checked this title out sooner or later. But, I tend to stay away from graphic stories that feature adolescents in the role of the main protagonist, if for no other reason than, I assume the title is aimed at kids. So, why bother, right? Wrong. Star Mage #1 […]
Shutter #1: Adventure into a Strange New World
It’s a wild, wild world for Kate Kristopher in Shutter #1! This New York City has dirigibles and huge birds in the sky plus anthropomorphic animals and astronauts riding the subway.

Game of Thrones: The Lion and the Rose
This is the episode we have been waiting to see. I am of course talking about the royal wedding of the century. By the old gods and the new what a wedding it was. The fourth season of Game of Thrones jumps into high gear with The Lion and the Rose. This episode, written by […]
Karen Gillan is Visceral in Oculus
uneasy all night, and has me staring at my apples suspiciously all day. Overall, it is a mixed bag of good and bad but I still find it to be an enjoyable film. As far as horror films go, far too many rely on cheap tricks and startle tactics. While there is no shortage of […]
