I’ve been talking about The Strain, the novel from Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, for the past couple of weeks now. Reading it, I totally understand the hype. The book is scary, exciting, and a good mix of both the technical parts of Hogan’s writing, with the touches that make it classic del Toro. If you haven’t […]
This week saw the release of the next two titles in DC’s relaunch of the Batman titles, Red Robin and Batman, with new and exciting creative teams and directions and, most importantly, a new man under the cowl. How did they measure up with last week’s Batman and Robin #1, from Grant Morrison and Frank […]
Newsarama has an 8-page preview of the upcoming new Batman title, Streets of Gotham, easily the one Batman: Reborn title I’m most anticipating? Why? Because it’s written by Paul Dini with art by Dustin Nguyen, probably my favorite Bat-team in at least ten years, if not more! Also featured in Streets of Gotham is a […]
So…FINALLY got my hands on a copy of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s Batman and Robin #1. I have no qualms about making my opinions of the team clear. I’m probably the only dude in the world who didn’t think All-Star Superman was that great. I felt that Morrison’s run on Batman was WILDLY uneven, […]
Every Wednesday (or Thursday ) from here until July 15th, the release date of DC Comics’ Blackest Night #1, we here at IoM will be presenting a history of each of the corps involved in the upcoming battle, as well as some background on the major players and the storylines leading up to the big […]
I think we’re the only site online that doesn’t have a review of DC Comics new title, Batman and Robin, yet. We will this week, I promise! Anyway, what we do have, courtesy of DCU’s Source Blog, is a look at some of the storylines to come in later issues. I’m wondering if all of […]
Taking a look at today’s paper, I see that Marvel superhero Tigra (Greer Grant-Nelson) is taking it off for tigers in a PETA initiative opposing alleged cruelty to animals at the Barnum & Bailey Circus now performing in Fort Worth. Naked superheroes is a cause I can support. Bring on the bare Ms. Marvel, Black […]
I loves me some Atomic Robo. I think I might actually have an unhealthy obsession with Atomic Robo, based on how many times I‘ve written about him. Still, I felt the second volume, Atomic Robo and the Dogs of War, just wasn’t as fun as the first, Atomic Robo and the Fightin’ Scientists of Tesladyne. […]
Lots of amazing announcements today at E3 in LA, the most amazing of which seeming to be Microsoft’s Project Natal. While not necessarily the “Wii-killer” everyone is undoubtedly going to call it (primarily because I don’t think this, combined with the 360 system, will be as affordable as a Wii), this is one amazing piece […]
Wow…it’s not a good time for fans like us, who have money in our pockets just burning a hole. Nothing really great on Blu-Ray or DVD for a couple of weeks in a row…I’m sure we are due for a week soon that’ll break the bank though! Still, there are some diamonds in the rough […]
