The Last Light in the Darkness
Metro Last Light the long awaited sequel to Metro 2033, takes place shortly after the end of Metro 2033, and just like Metro 2033 it takes place in Russia in the very intricate metro tunnels below Russia. Before I get too far into my review I want to reveal that this game is definitely not [...]
Solid State Tank Girl #1
PUBLISHER: Titan | WRITER: Alan C. Martin | ARTIST: Warick Johnson-Caldwell This story begins with Tank Girl and her mutant kangaroo boyfriend Booga going into an antique radio store to see what’s wrong with Booga’s A.M. radio.

Alternative Futures – Age of Ultron 8
When alternative timelines are introduced into any comic book universe, they tend to inspire the same reaction – who cares? Does not matter. Why should we spend our energy on what is not really going on? I felt that way at the end of Age of Ultron issue #7. Then Bendis pulled out his writing [...]
Bloodshot 11 (Spoilers)
This comic knows how to explore and exploit a character. Duane Swierczynski pens Bloodshot issue 11, and at the outset we are face-to-face with four super powered beings. In this universe they are called Harbingers – fitting, considering that those in charge think the advent of superpowers is tantamount to the end of the world. [...]
Shot Through With Blood
Valiant’s new launch of Bloodshot has reached its 10th issue. The 11th is due out today, and I am looking forward to it. The one thing I can say of all 10 issues is that they throw you into a world too terrifying to be completely fiction. We witness this nightmare through our hero, the [...]
Phoenix Comicon 2012: The Doctor Who Extravaganza
I’d have to start with the convention’s very first “Party Like a Timelord”. The single largest Doctor Whovian gathering that Arizona has ever had. The line for the party was so long, that only so many could go in at one time. Amazingly people waited hours after it started to participate in the event. The [...]
Hellblazer Back On The Radar
Issue #3 of DC’s New 52 launch of Constantine has just come out. It is a conclusion to a violent re-introduction of huge fan-favorite John Constantine. Written by Ray Fawkes and Jeff Lemire, and illustrated Renato Guedes, Constantine takes us right into a world of magic, and deadly forces. The measure of a good story, [...]
Enders Game The Movie
The trailer for the Ender’s Game movie has just been released. Based on Orson Scott Card’s best-selling novel about Ender Wiggin, a child genius who is chosen by the military to save the world from being destroyed. The trailer looks impressive despite a few obvious flaws. First, the actor playing Ender is much too old [...]
Defiance Four
A Well Respected Man heightens tensions in the Defiance universe as Lawkeeper Nolan declares war on Datak Tarr’s criminal organization. The situation is immensely complicated, however, since the STASIS net protecting Bissell Pass (the pass to the town) was destroyed in the premiere. Datak has made a deal with the Votanis Collective (a global power) [...]
