I’ve been bachelor boy (newest member of the Legion of Super Heroes) with The Wife out-of-town, so I thought I’d share some of the links I’ve enjoyed this weekend (sorry, no pron). If you’re anything like me, you are constantly plagued with unwelcome demons showing up at your front door. I mean, WTF?!? Can’t these […]
My friendly local comic shop, Zeus Comics, has released the first of their new series of web episodes, The Variants. It is to comic shops what Kevin Smith’s Clerks was to convenience and video stores. Awfully funny and promises a lot more good stuff to come.
This is the big week. GenCon week. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve never been to GenCon, the best four days in gaming. Later this week, I hop on a plane to Indianapolis where I will meet up with old friends, new friends, and bitter enemies (I’m looking at you, Holmberg). The days and nights will […]

Based on Greg Pak’s Planet Hulk storyline that ran through Incredible Hulk #92-105 comes the movie Planet Hulk, from Marvel’s animated division (what was their last movie? Was it Iron Man?). Despite how Aron and I felt about what came after Planet Hulk and World War Hulk (listen to our thoughts here), I enjoyed those […]

The question is…what’s left of the universe to continue? The Ultimatum series, by […]
