Ya know, I just can’t bring myself to write a long review of 51, another entry in the new series of After Dark Originals that had a recent premiere on SyFy Channel. Unlike the first entry, Husk (review here), which was pretty damn great, 51 feels like what you’d expect to premiere on Saturday night […]
Man…this film looks all kinds of awesome. From the Amblin logo at the beginning to the feeling throughout the trailer, JJ Abrams is clearly going for geek nostalgia with his newest directorial effort, Super 8. I can see all kinds of 80’s Spielberg, Donner, and Howard influence throughout the trailer…and that’s a good thing. I […]
In the week prior to Fear the Con 4, Aron gets an iPad2 and speaks of it in glowing terms bordering on the inappropriate while Paul has a lot of explaining to do. There’s also the Trade Paper Back and Sock Incidents to discuss. And comics. New Avengers #10 Wonder Woman #608 Ultimate Spider-Man #155 […]
After an initial arc that blew our socks off, the second arc of Uncanny X-Force, “Dethlok Nation,” is off to a rocky start. Still, I’ve got high hopes for the title, including an arc that seems like it’ll involve “Age of Apocalypse” characters, followed by something Marvel released a teaser for late last week…The Dark […]
SUPERNATURAL STRAIGHTJACKET (click here to start reading from the beginning) is here again, and things aren’t looking too good for Bartleby, our favorite supernatural detective. After waking up in a hospital where he’s badly injured, bleeding, and flashing between visions of the Otherworld and those of our mortal world, the orderlies want nothing to do […]
I was tickled to come home tonight to find that one of my Fear the Con buddies has released a music video detailing his romantic woes of loving a woman who don’t like Firefly. I played in a game with Mikey Mason last year and if I recall correctly, he’s in my Shipwrecked on Monster […]

Paul returns this week, but leaves that echo of his behind while we find ourselves lusting after the iPad2 and giddy with the anticipation of Fear the Con 4. Join Aron, Paul, Tim, Wayne and Andrew for another podcast episode full of comics, and yes, He/She Update Week 3! Annihilators #1 Astonishing Thor #3 Avengers […]
Here we are with part three of SUPERNATURAL STRAIGHTJACKET (click here to start reading from the beginning)! In part one, we saw that, currently, Bartleby is in dire straights. He’s badly injured, bleeding, and flashing between visions of the Otherworld, a place where nightmares roam the streets and the sun never rises, and those of […]
Ya know, The Red Skull is one of those characters that’s just going to look badass regardless of budget. Even that craptacular Captain America movie from the 90’s had a pretty good-lookin’ Red Skull, but wasted it by only having him in the actual Skull for the first scene of the movie. But Hugo Weaving […]
