Doom 4 has been the game on peoples lips since the release of Doom III some ten years ago and finally the game was revealed at QuakeCon 2014. Those who attended the 19th annual LAN party/PC game convention were in for a treat as live gameplay demos from the PC title showed off a multitude of the […]
Well, I have to say I have been very impressed with True Blood of late. After the show’s stumble in the season’s second episode, I was fearing the worst, but things are looking up. “Death is Not the End” is the type of episode that could easily feel cheesy, as it’s full of reunions and […]
Geoff Johns may be a big name draw now, but around a decade ago he was still making a name for himself. The name that would soon become comic book sales boffo. After quite a long while, Johns returns to the character that helped shape his career – Superman! Although he’s no longer on Action […]

The Leftovers is not the feel-good romp of the summer. It very may well be the exact opposite. When the inciting incident of a series is the unexplained disappearance of two percent of the world’s population, you know that there is going to be some serious drama up in here. It is a decidedly grim […]
My reading of Archie #647, the first and only Archie comic I’ve ever read ever, is one of favorite articles (go read it if you haven’t. Spoiler alert: Archie’s a monster and his world is insane) and it was a blast to write. Because of that, I have always wanted to do another reading, but […]
12 Years a Slave, based on the non-fiction book of the same name, is the Oscar-winning biographical epic by Steve McQueen. The film’s weighty narrative follows the abduction and suffering of free-born musician, Solomon Northup into the southern slave trade.
