If my avatar is any indication, I'm of one of many comic book readers who have helped make "Chew" the surprise hit of the year, at least in terms of comics. Writer John Layman and artist Rob Guillory's tale of a Cibopathic (having the ability to get psychic readings from anything that one eats) cop who's recruited into the FDA (the most powerful law enforcement agency in this comic's reality) is…

I'm going to try to keep this review short and to the point.
The Spectacular Spider-Man is arguably the best Spider-Man cartoon ever made. Sure, it has it's imperfections and the animation style may be off-putting to some (I like it myself), but it's just so much damn fun and captures the essence of Spider-Man better than anything that's come before it (and that includes a…

UPDATE: Due to the fact that I attended the Spill Comic-Con party, I will not be going to the Austin party. That being said, the Comic-Con party was a fucking blast! Korey, Cyrus and Leon are three of the coolest and nicest guys I have ever met and it was a real pleasure getting to know them and everybody else who came. Thanks for the good time, guys.
Btw, hands off my mom, Korey! LOL
I'm looking forward to the party as much as the next person, but my inner pessimist just won't go away a…

I just found this out. David Prowse, the actor who wore the Darth Vader costume throughout the original "Star Wars" trilogy has prostate cancer. (Ouch!) He's undergoing treatment and he says he's doing fine. Here's hoping him the best. James Earl Jones may have provided us with Vader's kick-ass voice, but if it wasn't for David putting on the outfit, the character wouldn't be complete. (Sorry, Hayden.)
Here's the link to an article about it:…

Back when I wrote
my review for "Spider-Man Magazine #3", I stated that while they were flawed, I still liked Marvel's youth oriented comics mainly for what they were trying to do. I now feel the need t…

Within the past few weeks, I have seen a total of 3 movies at the theaters. I had considered reviewing each one separately, but, given that two are films that I caught late, have instead decided to quickly review them all in one blog post. Here they are in the order that I watched them....
1.

You know, I was supposed to write this weeks ago. I even told Korey how this was going to be the start of a new series in which I review "bad" movies from a fresh perspective. However, I never got around to it, but all that's over now. It's time to stay true to my word. And. Her…

(Singing) Spider-Man, Spider-Man. Spectacular, Spectacular...
Ah yes, Spider-Man. Marvel's first fucked up superhero. Poor Peter Parker's sure been through a lot over the years. He was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained superpowers; he became cocky and got his uncle killed;…

Warning: This review contains spoilers.
Of all the recent DVD releases, one that has yet to be reviewed here is “Next Avengers”. I’m sure there are a number of reasons for this, but I’m guessing that the main one is simply that nobody wanted to see it and, to be honest, I…

Anybody who listened to LEOG recently heard the group recommend various independent comic book series. One of these was “Invincible”, a title I had already become aware of when searching for any Robert Kirkman books (particularly “The Walking Dead”) on the Phoenix Public Library website b…

With all the praise being heaped upon the overrated "Wall-E" another Pixar film is going to get lost in the shuffle. An inventive and hilarious short that I honestly believe is better than the film it precedes. "Presto" is one of Pixar's best films and deserves an Oscar nod for Best Ani…
