TV Review: Breaking In “Pilot”
Blu-ray Review: Firebreather
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?

Now Batman must team up with Etrigan the Demon and Sherlock Holmes to stop Jim Craddock’s mystical plan to gain immortality.

Anime DVD Review: FLCL (Fooly Cooly), The Complete Series
It’s not a tumor!
Finally, finally the brilliant OVA (Original Video Animation) from the creators of Neon Genesis Evangelion is available in a single DVD or Blu-ray format, loaded with juicy extras! FLCL or Fooly Cooly follows young Naota in awkward flirtations with his brother’s ex-girlfriend, as he suddenly encounters a guitar-slinging alien girl named Haruhara Haruko, her sentient yellow Vespa, and a slew of robots Naota must fight. Luckily, he has the aid of Canti, a TV-headed humanoid bot that sprouts from Naota’s own noggin. All this madness is brought to you in glossy, vivid animation with a bangin’ soundtrack.
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!
