Comics Review: The Walking Dead #83 (MASSIVE SPOILERS)
By Matt Sernaker
There are a few moments in comics these days that really make you stop and reflect on what you just read (the shocking death of [REDACTED] in the penultimate issue of Y: The Last Man was a massive jaw dropping shocker that still makes me sad to this day). For those of us who have been reading the ongoing story of The Walking Dead, we have become accustom to Robert Kirkman’s knack for keeping his audience guessing…and the newest issue (#83) again not only pushes the envelope, but is also rather disturbing on multiple levels.
So many spoilers in the rest of this article. Read at your own risk.
Blu-ray Review: Skyline

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
By now we all know what happens when we travel to foreign countries for a vacation. Beaches, exotic drinks with fruit and little umbrellas, local customs, disappearances, human trafficking, torture, sacrifices…and so much more to make you never want to leave. So how mundane and boring would a vacation in Los Angles with your movie mogul friend be?
MegaCon 2011: DC Universe
Dan Didio, Geoff Johns, Tony Bedard, Steve Scott, Rob Hunter and Ethan Van Sciver were all present to discuss the DC Universe at MegaCon.
Geoff Johns said he’d be writing a new Aquaman series but said he could not say more then that. Didio asked fans not to ask what happens after Flashpoint because it had stopped a previous panel. Via phone Peter J Tomasi said that fans would be very happy with the ending of Brightest Day.
We were told that we would learn who had been chosen as the White Lantern’s champion in the coming week. They thanked fans for having stuck through the series and again siad the payoff will be in the conclusion. They were glad to have brought back Maxwell Lord in Justice League: Generation Lost. Didio said theres so much potential with him as a character.
MegaCon 2011: Aquaman Book to be written by Geoff Johns
Geoff Johns announced at Megacon that he will be writing a new Aquaman series later this year following the events of Brightest Day.
What does this mean for the other heroes who have recently been disintegrated by the White Lantern? Hawkman and Hawkgirl fans can only hope that good news is around the corner. Can Geoff Johns do for Aquaman what he has done for Green Lantern and The Flash? Only time will tell, but Aquaman may be Johns’ greatest challenge yet. It has not been firmly established whether this will be a ongoing or a limited series.
Is it possible that Aquaman will be the chosen champion of the White Lantern?

Movie Review: Sucker Punch
Book Review: The Wise Man’s Fear plus interview with Patrick Rothfuss!
By Brenda Waldrop
Patrick Rothfuss follows up his wildly successful first novel “The Name of the Wind” with this superb telling of “day two” in Kvothe’s story.
To say that “The Wise Man’s Fear” was one of the most superb pieces of literature I’ve had the pleasure to read in some time would be an understatement. Every one of just under 1,000 pages is suffused with such incredible detail that the reader is instantly whisked away into Kvothe’s world of Sympathy and music, treachery and betrayal, friendship, love, and madness. The pages practically turn themselves, and if like me you have a day job that requires your presence, you’ll find yourself suddenly realizing that sleep is overrated!
