The smartest thing DC’s done since Greg Rucka left Detective Comics was putting Scott Snyder on the book. Snyder is of course the shiny new thing at DC with his hit series American Vampire from Vertigo. His run on Detective has been very interesting as it continues to focus onDick Grayson or “Gotham’s Batman” and number one super cop Jim Gordon.

Valve is taking it’s sweet time creating Half-Life 2: Episode 3, so fans are eager for any hints at all aboutwhen it will come out, and what sort of experience it will impart.

North is apparently voicing Jackie in the sequel – that’s about all you can take

It took all year but paintball finally returned to Greendale this week as Community’s
“A Fist Full of Paintballs” hit the airwaves. To say I was excited for
the beginning of the two-part season finale would be a dramatic

fierce competition, but an absolutely outstanding twenty minutes of
television nonetheless.
Tthe first issue of the Intrepids, was not a good first issue. It did not represented a good origin story to a first time audience. Yet, surprisingly enough the book sold well enough for Image to call it a hit. Issue two demonstrated a better representation of the characters and a more enthusiastic dramatic content. Although the book showed a better characterization and better chemistry between the characters and the artwork kept on being fresh and inventive. Is the third issue worth it?
Luckily, after reading a terrible seventh issue and a decent eighth issue Dracula: The Company of Monsters #9 hits many soft spots but still has quite a few rough patches that make me question why the series has been so acclaimed since the first issue. The battle between Conrad and Dracula finally begins here, with Evan playing the double-crosser of both Dracula and Conrad seeking help from the vampire-hunter Marta and her gang.
