COMIC BOOK REVIEW: DAREDEVIL #1-6
“This is why I read comics.”
DAREDEVIL has just become one of my favorite books to read in the last year. Having read #7-15 first due to this acclaimed series origin stories being sold out everywhere I finally nabbed myself a copy of the original six issues of this awesome run of comics.
I don’t even know where to start with this, it’s just so damn good. Daredevil is...

COMIC BOOK REVIEW: SUPERMAN #11
“Superman vs Russians & Predators.”
SUPERMAN has been a hit or miss comic since the beginning with no clear distinction of why it keeps jumping between all these different villains constantly and this issue is no different with another bad guy revealed—-but it’s still interesting.
The issue starts with Superman heading to Russia to discover what has devastated...

COMIC BOOK REVIEW: THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN #690
“Hey I just met you and this is crazy, but my name is Curt Connors and I’m kinda crazy.”
Call Me Maybe plays in this issue, there I said it.
ASM #690 takes the focus less on Spidey and Morbius and instead this issue is a spot light for how crazy and weird Curt Connors really is. It was great seeing Connors looking for a way to become Lizard again and going as far as to cut...

COMICBOOK REVIEW: THE STRANGE TALENT OF LUTHER...
“It’s about power.”
THE STRANGE TALENT OF LUTHER STRODE is an amazingly gory take on the traditional superhero origin story. It’s full of vulgar words, fantastically drawn fight sequences and a wonderful art style that mixes stylish comic book flair with the Greek art style of facial animations.
LUTHER STRODE is a young man in school who upon reading a book he gets from...

SPIDERMAN HAS AN AMAZING WEEKEND
THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN has brought in the cash since it’s release with an estimate of $341 million dollars in total. But will it beat out the first Spiderman movie that grossed roughly $900 million?
Time will tell.

SPOILER FREE MOVIE REVIEW: SAVAGES
“I hate goddamn pretzels.”
SAVAGES is the directorial return of OLIVER STONE, acclaimed director of films such as PLATOON and NATURAL BORN KILLERS. It stars a crazily talented ensemble cast and from previews and trailers seems to be the next great crime drama to hit cinema, but is it?
In short, it isn’t really. Although there’s moments of greatness and some enjoyable...

Okay, what do you think about that ending?
Well, Connors is basically locked up in a very high-security mental institution.
We were debating whether it was a prison or a mental institute.
It’s not a zoo. [laughs] I kept seeing it as maybe a mixture of both. Then a representative from OsCorp appears miraculously in the room. How he gets in there and how he leaves, we don’t...

“The evil that men do.”
THE WALKING DEAD videogame is the reason why that if you’re not currently playing this series you’re seriously missing out big time.
