DVD Review: Todd & The Book of Pure Evil – The Complete First Season


High School is Hell

by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief

Fifteen years ago, Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered on television and the success of its seven seasons (or twelve if you include Angel) brought supernatural action drama into being, leading inevitably to today’s supernatural shows ranging from The Vampire Diaries, through Supernatural and Being Human, and into the occasionally-clothed and always sexy True Blood. But Buffy had a few things going for it that the others did not. Notably here are its clever and ubiquitous self-referential humor and perhaps most importantly here is that Buffy possessed something that most other supernatural shows never had. It was in the beginning set in one of the most frightening places on earth: High School.

Blu-ray Review: The Three Musketeers

by Mike Favila, Reviewer

As a relatively big fan of Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element), I was eager to check out her and husband Paul W.S. Anderson’s (Resident Evil Series) take on the classic book by Alexandre Dumas. Would The Three Musketeers blast away the Disney version starring Charlie Sheen (pre winning era)? I popped in my Blu-ray to find out.

TV Review: Breaking In – “The Contra Club”

by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor

Dear Breaking In,

First of all, welcome back! It’s been far too long since we last enjoyed the antics of Cam, Cash, Melanie, and Oz…but now that the gang is finally back together, it feels like old times.

Blu-Ray Review: The Lion King 2 and 1 ½

by Guest Reviewer Chuck Lindas

When Disney’s The Lion King was released in 1994, a 15 year old version of me went to see it with my dad and little sister. Of course, we all loved it and sitting together as a family while the credits rolled, dad said, ever so prophetically, “That was really great and I appreciated it all the more, knowing that this will probably be the last gold old fashioned animated film for Disney.” Of course, he was entirely wrong. Disney has released nearly 20 classic animation features since then. In fairness to dear old dad, Toy Story was to come out the following year and rightly so was expected to completely alter the landscape of animated films.

TV Review: The Walking Dead – “Judge, Jury, Executioner”

by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor

The Walking Dead takes things in an interesting direction in this week’s installment, “Judge, Jury, Executioner”. There are some major developments for characters and story lines (yes, they are still on the damn farm) but this episode takes us back to the quality that we had come to expect from early episodes of the series. 

ComicsOnline Exclusive: XBox Australia Mass Effect 3 Preview Event


HUGE thank you to the amazing (and incredibly lucky) Kerrie for providing this for us! — Karissa & ComicsOnline

by Kerrie Hui, Guest Reporter

I will admit it: I was late into the Mass Effect craze, and by late I mean so late that by the time I had won tickets for the Mass Effect 3 Sydney Preview and Media Event, I was only just removing the shrink wrap for ME1.  It does however provide me a fantastic opportunity to tell you that by playing both 1 and 2 and jumping straight into 3, the differences between the three are fairly noticeable – they just keep getting better and better.

Blu-ray Review: The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)


by Karl P. Madsen, Horror Editor


Fan – 1. enthusiastic admirer – an enthusiastic admirer of a celebrity or public performer. 2. Same as fanatic (noun)



The sequel to Human Centipede (The First Sequence), Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is a unique format. Instead of building the second movie off the events, and timeline, of the first film, this sequel uses the First Sequence as the catalyst for the events of the Full Sequence. That’s why this film is 100% medically inaccurate instead of the first Human Centipede’s 100% medically accurate status.
