Big ol’ Wish List
by Chris Troy Good evening/afternoon/evening FPNYC faithful (I’m making sure I’m covering all my timezone, depending on your internet reading habits.)! Sorry for the delay in this weeks articles, but I’m coming off of a move, so I had to go a few days within internet access, let alone time to review new toys sadly. [...]
Transformer Generations Red Alert Review
By Loran In the same way I have a huge love for urban warfare-themed Joes, I love Transformers that turn into any kind of “rescue” vehicle—police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, whatever. There’s something delicious to be about a civil protection vehicle turning into a giant robot. Plus, if you think about it, a lot of [...]
Pursuit of Cobra: Cobra Fury Review
By Loran Like I said in the Alley Viper review, I love urban combat. Gray, white, and black camo; shotguns; close-quarters combat; ducking in and out of alleyways-it all just hits me in the right places. Now, I’m sure a lot of people might find the idea of a tank for urban combat kind of… [...]
Happy Birthday Junk Food Dinner!
Everyone’s favorite cult movie podcast Junk Food Dinner turns 1 year old this week. They posted a special two hour long episode in celebration of the event. Holy cow! Junk Food Dinner is one-year-old! To celebrate our one-year anniversary we’re dropping a 2+ hour behemoth of an episode on your fragile eardrums! Up first we take a minute to [...]
Godzilla vs Caligula
What a week for insanely violent comic madness. It’s as if Satan himself came up from hell and packed our shelves with his favorite stuff. Avatar publishing has been at the top of their gruesome game with releases like Crossed, Garth Ennis’ take on the zombie genre, and Alan Moore’s Cthulhu-rape masterpiece, Neonomicon. If that’s [...]
Light Fell on Black Days
Maybe it’s because the new movie just came out on DVD, but after three consecutive weeks of Evangelion manga, I’m starting to notice a trend. Not that anyone should really be complaining about a new volume of Neon Genesis Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse, because, unlike some of the OTHER spin-offs of the original series, Campus Apocalypse [...]
Batman In A Whale
By Unkiedev Marvel tells us that Ultimate X #4 will ship this week. Sure it will. I’ve only plugged it three times, and each solicitation fails to deliver. If the Gods of Comic Books indeed intend to smile on us this week I can recommend few books more than Ultimate X #4. Don’t know the [...]
BEWARE THE BRONX COBRA!
An Egyptian cobra escaped from the Bronx Zoo today. According to the CNN article staff members at the Bronx Zoo claim the cobra is in a secured area of the zoo. Hope someone does a follow up. If I was a private dick, I would question one Fuad Ramses. In other news, Monster Hunters Survival [...]
Chew coming to Showtime TV
The wildly popular Image comic Chew is now in development for a Showtime television series by the Circle of Confusion company, who are also behind AMC’s The Walking Dead. The show is to be directed by Stephen Hopkins, whose Predator 2 is my personal favorite of the series. Sounds pretty good to me. Here’s a link to the [...]
Fright-Rags does the Monster Mash
Today Fright-Rags released a limited edition Famous Monsters Of Filmland shirt designed by Jason Edmiston that will blow your mind Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy…these monsters have been an integral part of horror for the better part of a century. They’ve been reproduced in countless forms of media and have certainly become the most “Famous Monsters [...]
Warren Ellis Fantastic Four #1
Since FF#1 came out this week I figured why not tell you about Warren Ellis’ design your own Fantastic Four #1 cover challenge. Well I guess there’s not much to it… Warren Ellis’ has an online thingie (bare with me I’m still new to this whole internet stuff) called Whitechapel where he interacts with fans [...]
Pursuit of Cobra Jungle Viper Review
By Loran No matter what the environment, Cobra’s got a specialized trooper just for that purpose. Whether it be the city, the desert, the arctic, or the jungle, chances are, the Joes are going to find more than just a bunch of blue-suited Cobra rookies. These are the guys they really need to watch out [...]
Transformers Reveal The Shield Turbo Tracks Review
By Loran Haha, oh Tracks… you’re certainly one of the more “entertaining” characters in G1. Yeah, the whole “Tracks is gay” thing got played out way too much by the fandom and it kinda got run into the ground. Even still, he’s probably one of the more memorable second-series Autobots. He’s kind of a douchebag, [...]
Fangoria #302
Fangoria issue #302 hit the shelves this week, and this reader’s jaw hit the floor. There has been a lot of bad mouthing on Fangoria in the last couple years, but their most recent output should shut them haters up. They’ve added great new colums like Trash Compactor, which focuses on some serious deep cuts from the genre, and Sound Shock, [...]
