DVD Review: Prowl
by Karl Madsen, ComicsOnline.com
She was running from her life. Now she’s running for it.
Remember all the things we were told by our parents? Don’t swim for an hour after eating. Don’t make faces like that or it’ll freeze that way. Don’t take candy from strangers. Don’t sit so close to the TV, you’ll ruin your eyes. Don’t take rides from strangers. So, how many of these are really dangerous?
The premise of Prowl has Amber (Courtney Hope – Mob Rules), who is bored with her small town life, her job as a butcher, and is being pulled to the big city life.

WonderCon 2011: Video Game Preview: Spider-Man: Edge of Time
Last year, Activision and Beenox brought us a interesting take on the spider man universe by showing us 4 different and unique takes on everyone’s favorite webslinging hero in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. This year the developers take a more refined look at two of the versions of Spidey they toyed with last year with both Spider-Man 2099 and Amazing Spider-Man returning in Spider-Man: Edge of Time.
Blu-ray Review: Mad Men – Season Four
You may have to wait until 2012 for Season Five of the acclaimed AMC series Mad Men to return, but you can catch up on the Blu-ray edition of Mad Men – Season Four right now!
Mathew Weiner has not just lovingly and meticulously recreated the fall of 1964 and rest of l965 in the Fourth Season of Mad Men. He has created a thirteen hour movie. As it languidly unfolds it provides a window into the past giving us clues regarding the directions that the characters who inhabit this world are going to take. It just takes time, and alot of it. By the time it concludes, everyone and everything in this corner of universe will be accounted for.
Episode Highlights:
TV Review: Nikita – “Covenant”
Nikita has been a fairly inconsistant show since it began, but recently it has started to become a bit more solid. “Covenant” helps continue the consistency with a pretty interesting mid-season break return episode. This episode features the murkily-alligned Michael and his previous relationship to Nikita.
Nikita is going after the black boxes she so desperately desires once again, and to do so, she needs to capture drug lord Kasim (who has quite the past history with Michael… who wants him dead for what he has done), and trade him to Michael for one of the aformentioned black boxes. This plan quickly goes south when Kasim is not all what he seems to be (As no one really is in this show).

DVD Review: Doctor Who- The Seeds of Doom
Doctor Who: The Seeds of Doom is now available for you to own on DVD!
The long-running British Sci-fi tv series, Doctor Who, has had its ups and downs over the 60 plus years it has been running. But many Classic Who fans seem to agree that Tom Baker, who became the fourth Doctor after Jon Pertwee’s run, is considered the “Golden Age” of Doctor Who, bringing with it a number of timeless stories and memorable characters as well as the return of the popular third Doctor companion (who now stars in her own spinoff show), Sarah Jane Smith.
Blu-ray Review: Venture Bros The Complete Season Four
Now maybe I got a little intoxicated before starting this review, but I don’t think my opinion would have changed in the slightest: The Venture Brothers Season Four Blu-ray is the most concentrated source of awesome that money can buy. I am 90% sure that isn’t the whiskey talking, and is instead my unadulterated devotion to this genius series. If you are a fan of comics, science fiction, or anything that uses the word “adventure” in its genre tag, you probably already know about The Venture Brothers from their first three excellent seasons. If not, you should. Look into it now. They are on Blu-ray (and DVD)!
Blu-ray Review: Hereafter
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
by Karl Madsen, ComicsOnline.com
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?
