Have you ever been to one of those comic shops that just “gets it?” That you know, the instant you walk in, this is going to be a pleasant comic shopping experience? See, I’m big on organization – I hate it when I can’t find stuff. Some of the comic shops in the area are […]
Not really sure there’s much more to it than that. Well, maybe a couple of things. This Saturday, you can walk into almost any comic book shop near you and pick up a free comic book. But ONE free comic? What are you going to do with that? Read it in the car on the […]
IoM is typically adult fare. We cuss, we review horror movies and violent comic books. But, in all actuality, we wouldn’t be the sick beings we are if it wasn’t for some family-friendly comic book or TV show or movie that got us into the fold to begin with. For Aron, it was Disney’s Scamp. […]

And don’t discount this problem to apply to just gaming newbies. Even the experienced gamer may have to do a whole lot […]
Last week, I wrote about the upcoming intervention the hosts of Fear the Boot have planned for Dan Repperger. Dan, you see, just can’t wrap his head around any number of character concepts or campaign settings. His fellow hosts are planning on helping him out of his funk by getting him excited about a genre […]
Back in the late 1980’s, Dark Horse Comics blew my mind when they started publishing original stories from the Aliens universe. Published before Alien3 came along and kind of screwed up their continuity, the first series I picked up was actually their second, a fully-painted tale of Ripley and Newt after the events of James […]
For the longest damn time, I tried to get my hands on a copy of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the original Xbox. I called around to all the stores and kept checking online. Every once in a while, the website for GameStop would say that a copy would be in, but I’d venture out […]
Yes, the cover of the script says “Nightmare on Elm St,” not “A Nightmare on Elm St,” which I actually prefer, but no one really says anyway.
