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.

Movie Review: Real Steel


Written by Ashley Penrod, Assistant Editor


So, picture that you have several movie-ingredients sitting on your countertop. Said ingredients are as follows:



  • Rocky

  • Transformers (first one – the not-crappy one)

  • Ong Bak

  • Million Dollar Baby

  • Wolverine

  • C-3PO

Along with random bits of freaking awesomeness (add to taste) – what might one expect to get after blending these bits and pieces? The answer can be found in the new Disney CGI romp, “Real Steel”. As I hadn’t even heard of the movie, my counterpart, Managing Editor Matt Sernaker, told me “Its Rock-em-Sock-em Robots: The Movie. You’ll like it.” While this answered all of none of my questions, I was bored and figured a movie sounded good.
