  • Blue is the Warmest Color

    Finally got to read the graphic novel that the graphic movie is based on. So this post will be a review of both the movie and graphic novel. Obviously, I saw the movie first, if I am just now reading the comic. While I found it okay, it wasn’t the greatest film out there. It…

  • Looking to Buy Comics Online Try NewKadia.com

    Buying Comics Whenever I have purchased comics online, I have always simply purchased from a small handful of online shops. Today I got a press release in my email about a shop that has apparently been in business for almost twenty years and is kind of local to me. Looks like they are strictly online,…

  • REVIEW: Swing

    When I first read that Swing was a spinoff of the Sunstone universe, I was super excited. I absolutely loved Sunstone. The art. The story. The BDSM sex. All of it. Judging a book by its cover Swing had the same feel from the artwork presented there. Turns out the artist, Linda Sejic, is the…

  • Review: 1Up Collectibles Comic Shop

    Here is my review that Yelp.com seems to have flagged/filtered/removed for their own stupid reasons. Five Stars ***** for 1Up Collectibles This is the best comic shop in the area hands down! I have had issues with other shops giving you attitude (think Comic Book Guy in the Simpsons). NOT HERE. The owner is super…

  • SCIFIpawty Contest: Win an Autographed Go-Go’s CD

    Being a child of the 80s the Go-Go’s are a big deal to me. They were one of the first bands I really liked and I still like their music even if it isn’t like all the other dark, gloomy, heavy stuff I usually listen too. The Go-Go’s will remain a favorite band of mine.…

  • Marvel and DC Comics Mixing It Up

    So I was over on Marvel.com checking for information on upcoming Marvel movies and the ad running on almost ALL pages was an ad for the new DC Comics animated Wonder Woman movie (I will of course be getting this film when it comes out on Tuesday). But why is it popping up on Marvel.com?…

  • Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Fury

    Remember the end of Ironman? We got a glimpse of SHIELD agent Nick Fury played by Samuel L Jackson. The geek in all of us LOVED the idea and assumed it was a sign of things to come. Apparently, it wasn’t and no deal was in place between Mr. Jackson and Marvel (at least that…

  • Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

    This was one of those weird films that for some odd reason I really liked. But I never new there were so many sequels to it. Apparently there is going to be a remake of the movie in 2009 and there was a comic book adaptation of the film released last year. Here’s what I…

  • Counting Catwomen

    In the season opener of Big Bang Theory we find Sheldon staying over at Howard’s because he cannot keep a secret Penny told him from Leonard. Once settled in bed Sheldon begins to ramble about Catwoman due to the Halle Berry Poster over Howard’s bed. Here’s their conversation. After this I will give my list…

  • Comic Book Show In Reading PA

    I was just reading about a Comic Book Show in Reading, PA at the Expo Center. The Expo’s website had no information about the show other than the dates (September 6-7). So I did a search for more info and learned that the show is hosted by Comic Geek Speak. For more show information check…

  • More Questions About Batwoman

    In answer (kind of) to my question about Batwoman (first seen in 52) I have stumbed on these posts over at the DC Boards… A possible Batwoman monthly. Poster said they saw artwork at comic con. Could have been old artwork from plans after 52 that were scrapped. Both Renee Montoya and Batwoman (perhaps back…

  • Buffy The Animated Series Mini Pilot Loose on the Net

    A few years ago I first wrote about the possibility of an animated version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer over at ScifiSlacker.com and much like the ill-fated animated Star Trek they teased me with as well was never to be. After fours year one gives up hope that anything will ever happen. The one day…
