Mar 24, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

Revere has the medical condition known as Hyperkinetic Depth Perception which allows him to see further than… basically anyone else. This allows him to see movement and distances faster and further than anyone else. When driving he can accurately tell the time and distance it takes him to reach a landmark. In his current instance he’s trying to dodge a train while shaking off a couple of guys shooting at him. Revere is a professional courier that specializes in the packages Fedex and UPS won’t take.

Hellraiser #1 – Review and Prelude Download

Mar 24, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

Clive Barker returns to Hellraiser with the first issue of the brand new series from Boom! Studios. This is only the third time Clive has actually laid hands on the issue so it’s kind of a big deal. Pinhead is after all one of the most recognizable characters in movies, not just the horror genre. Everyone has seen him at one point in their lives and along the way Pinhead and Hellraiser became watered down like a lot of horror franchises. The first thing to know about is the eight page free prelude to the series.

Witchblade #143 – Advance Review + Witchblade #142 Review!

Mar 24, 2011 | Nicole D'Andria | Comic Reviews

After issue #142 served as a set-up to Witchblade #134 showcased terrible art and a sub-par story that did manage to intrigue me with the ending. Since it has been reported that Witchblade would be taking a short breather in 2011 (hopefully in order to spend more time trying to perfect the quickly decaying Artifacts mini-series), these will be the last two new issues fans will be able to enjoy for a while. The first part of “Upstate” stars Sara’s boyfriend and partner Patrick Gleason on a solo job retrieving a criminal for their station with the help of residential rookie cop Kate Rooney. Here, the story continues after all the cops are slaughtered while Petramale, the deadly criminal, remains in his cell, leaving us to wonder who the killer is when ghosts appear. This issue served as more of a large set-up issue that really did not have any appeal to me until the ending.

c2e2 Movie Night: Boy Wonder Review

Mar 23, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

To the untrained nerd/geek, a movie
entitled, Boy Wonder sends the vibe of a superhero movie. Granted it
contains the structure reminiscent of a comic character origin (as
any character driven narrative should have). Boy Wonder isn’t so much
a comic book super hero film as it is a revenge film. At an early age a Sean Donovan (Caleb
Steinmeyer ) witness the murder of his mother. This in turn causes
him to lead a very antisocial life consisting of no real friends,
just a few acquaintances. Living alone with his father, Terry Donovan
(Bill Sage) the two of them keep a fragile relationship that was
built from past abuse in Terry’s heavy drinking days. Sean turns most
of his free time to academics getting him straight A’s. Though still
haunted by the loss of his mother, Sean keeps the hope of finding her
killer and one day bringing them to justice.

Marineman #4 – Advanced Review

Mar 22, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

Swimming at the beach is now safe! As long as you know somebody like Steve Ocean who can breath underwater! In an age where every character seems to have a dark past, Marineman is the chiselled boy scout image incarnate. Steve Ocean’s (Marineman) secret is no longer a secret.

Invincible #78 – Advanced Review

Mar 21, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

I remember, Invincible when it came out. The team did a Super Patriot book before it. I was ecstatic about it because I digged the art of the Super Patriot book. But at the time Invisible’s first issue came out I was not into super hero books anymore. I picked Kirkman’s zombie book, rather than his bright yellow blue teen super hero. Besides I’m sure that at one point in your comic geek life you have encounter the dreaded “Money shortage” and some books had to be sacrificed for the sake of your daily living. That was the case with me and Invisible–sure I read some reviews and features and the book sounded like a must have. Yet I never bothered to pick it up even in collected editions. When I was assign for this issue, I thought maybe I should read the back issues before reviewing issue # 78– its common sense right? But I remember when I was a kid I was not given that choice.

Twilight Guardian #3 – Review

Mar 16, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

In the last issue we found the Twilight Guardian bonding at a comic convention with likeminded heroes as they patrolled the streets together and formed an alliance. Of course once the con was over the Twilight Guardian was left alone again… that is until a comic book company offers to make a comic based off of her. Back in her home town she settles back into her routine of a nightly patrol and reading comics in her underwear. This time she has something new to read instead of old comics. The company has sent her pages of a treatment for her comic. She settles in and reads a few pages that depict her as the Punisher. In the comic she enters a bar and shoots the crap out of everyone before blowing it up via her trained monkey in a helicopter.
