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.

Who would have guessed that the one doing the vast majority of ass-kicking would be the one wearing the purple pants?
(That’s right, Paul. Lookin’ at you, buddy.)
by Karissa Barrows, Editor
I have been raised in the horror genre. In fact, the first movie I can ever remember watching is “The Blob”. Yep, that one with the big pink thing that consumes people. Thanks, Dad. B movies for the win! Anyway, I’ve loved horror ever since. That’s usually Karl’s territory here at ComicsOnline, but I got the Blu-ray copy by accident. So, not only am I going to tell you just a little bit about this amazing series, The Fades, on BBCThree and, as of recent, BBC America, but I’m going to give you the chance to win a DVD of series 1 of your very own.
Joey Hershel – Editor-at-Large and Graphic Designer
Joey attended her first SDCC dressed as Red Sonja in the mid-1980s, when it was still at the Civic Center in downtown San Diego. She purchased her first sword at that same Con and discovered what great joy it was to carry around weapons in public. Thus she discovered the art of cosplay.
An avid fan of comics, movies, and everything geek, Joey is right at home here on ComicsOnline.com and donates time on creative services whenever she’s able. In real life she’s a graphic designer, creative director and marketing maven. When she grows up (someday), she hopes to be a comic book artist.
