Comic Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 3 – Issues 24 & 25
Have you ever been completely obsessed by a particular comic book series only to have it abruptly end without a proper sense of closure, with multiple questions left unanswered and various plot mysteries left unexplained? If you are anything like me you will have experienced this when Image’s run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came to a sudden close with issue 23. As this leg of the turtles’ journey involved many drastic changes to the turtles and their universe it was considered to no longer be “canon” for Mirage’s TMNT universe, and when Volume 4 began all of the events from Volume 3 were ignored and forgotten about. Until now…

DVD Review: Haywire
by Karl Madsen, Editor
Remember the first time you see a movie that’s told in a non-traditional fashion? For many in the movie viewing public, it was the classic Tarantino flick, Pulp Fiction that indoctrinated us to the alternate story telling styles. Now, the Steven Soderbergh thriller, Haywire, uses an unusual style to tell the story of a black ops soldier on the outs with her company.
Haywire follows the last official mission of Mallory Kane (Gina Carano – Blood and Bone) that is meant to be her last mission, ever.

Movie Review: The Avengers
Assemble the movie stills! There are a lot of them in here.
Sorry I’m not sorry.
by Karissa Barrows, Editor
If you have not been excited for The Avengers since first hinted at in the Iron Man franchise, you have no soul. Or whatever. Maybe not that extreme, but DUDE. The movie was destined to be either a massively awesome, mind-blowing life experience or the worst 2+ hours of life. As soon as it was announced that Joss Whedon was directing the film, I knew the former would be the case. I went to see the movie after having driven for 16 hours the day prior and still getting up super early that morning, and I was so pumped up afterwards that I was able to stay up for two hours more than normal playing Modern Warfare 3. Seriously. It is that good. I’ll explain why… and try my hardest to be as brief as possible. That’s gonna be hard, considering how much I loved this movie.
