by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
When Stephen Moffat took the Doctor Who reigns from Russel T. Davies, people wondered if he could possibly keep up the feeling of wonder and excitement that RTD was able to inject into Doctor Who during his 5 year run on the series. Moffat, who is no stranger to blowing people’s minds over and over again, has more than proven himself again, showing that Series 5 was not just a fluke occurrence. Doctor Who: The Complete Sixth Series on Blu-ray gives us everything we have wanted and much much MORE!

DVD Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
Captain Jack Sparrow has become one of the most iconic characters in film of this decade (even showing up on Saturday Night Live being portrayed by Michael Bolton in a song that shares the same name). There is no denying the hold Jack Sparrow has over audiences. Disney Pictures knows this as well and that’s why they brought ol’ Captain Jack back for yet another outing despite most of the original production crew being gone. Pirates Of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides comes home to DVD to continue the multi-million Pirates movie franchise! The question is: does it hold up to its predecessors’ legacy?
NYCC2011: Regular Show Press Roundtable coverage
ComicsOnline had the opportunity to sit down with J.G Quintel (Creator, Mordecai), William Salyers (Rigby) and Sam Milton (Benson, Pops, Muscle Man) of The Regular Show. While nothing was revealed for upcoming episodes, it was more so an inside look at censorship and the creation process.
NYCC2011: Venture Bros Panel and Press Conference Coverage
“We have Nothing for you. So much Nothing, especially for you.” ~Venture Bros Creators to us. And that is exactly what most of the panel was. Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick, the creators of Venture Bros, were highly unprepared, except for the questions that were submitted to them. This doesn’t mean it was a “bad” panel, it was entertaining, and despite there being several off-topic derailings by the two, there was also some information given about the actual show.
NYCC2011: Venture Bros – Doc Hammer’s Most Hated Words/Phrases
Over at NYCC Venture Bros Panel, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick had so much Nothing to announce. So much, just for us. While we were being entertained by Doc’s stories and the comedy workings of these two, they were derailed when discussing how Doc hates certain words. He even had a list of them, and was kind enough to read it to us! So, boys and girls, don’t forget to try and use these when you’re talking to him:
· Ridonkculous
· Hot mess
· Literally when it’s not used appropriately
· Totes (as in totally)
· IMO and IMHO
NYCC2011: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Preview Panel
Get ready to conquer a new kingdom, because Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is coming out to hit your consoles in the face with fantastical awesomeness. Of course, by fantasical awesomeness, I mean logic and sense-making. For a lot of fantasy fans, this is a wet-dream come true.
The game is a single-player RPG, centering around the Well of Souls: a sort of resurrection machine. Up until the creation of the Well of Souls, resurrecting the dead was not possible, and its sudden appearance affects the world greatly (the NPCs are drastically affected, shown by their in-game dialogue). The player is the first life form resurrected by the Well of Souls, and is left to explore the world they left behind through new eyes. The player’s actions affect gameplay, the environment, and future quests.
