The Clone Chores
This has been the easiest column to write of my long career…because I didn’t write it! OR DID I?! No, I did not, but my CLONE did! That’s right, in order to better multitask I have developed a clone-o-matic so that all of my necessary daily tasks (sweeping up the cave, writing my columns, eating, [...]
Lookee for January 30th 2012
Let’s take a look around the internet, shall we? Today’s TeeFury design. Men’s sizes only printed on hideous cream-colored shirts. Neil Gaiman announced on Twitter feed today that he and Todd McFarlane have settled their long, bitter legal spat. Cory Doctorow gives Witch Doctor the thumbs up. Jean-Claude Denis (Grand Prix) and Jim Woodring (special [...]

Halo Reach Spartan Gungnir Review
As much as I’ve been enjoying the Reach toyline, there’s been one thing that’s been getting on my nerves: the lack of originality. Far too many of the multiplayer Spartans come in just one color without any special attachments or whatever. Heck, every Spartan in Series 6 is pretty much the same crap we’ve seen [...]
Halo Reach Elite Ranger Review
By Loran If there’s one thing I can’t stand in the video game world, is the current influx of “realistic military shooters”. I can’t explain why, but they just bug me. They all feel like the same game in a different package. It’s just soldiers versus more soldiers. It feels like if you want a [...]
The Weekly Pulse – Dandy Issues
Check out what’s new and good in the world of comics in this week’s edition of The Weekly Pulse! Angel and Faith have some daddy issues, Aquaman visits a land without aqua, Justice League courts a green Lantern, Superman discovers the joys of murder, and Bart Simspon also has a comic.
Morgan Pielli’s Pile of Minis: Woman King and The Trials of Sir Christopher
For a some time now I’ve been considering expanding the scope of this column. What is a mini comic? They come in all shapes and sizes and are drawn by people as all levels of skill and success. Many are self published, but just as many are published by small imprints or other indie cartoonists. [...]
More Cha-bot
Forget about elections, snow, wild tigers ripping at your face, bills, those same tigers ripping at your legs, problems with your girlfriend, problems with your boyfriend, problems with your tiger, global warming, house fires, the mumps, the whooping cough, rubella, zombie bites, swarms of bees, bees and tigers mating to breed flying, stinging death machines, [...]
The first new releases of 2012
By Chris Troy Well okay, the title’s kind of a lie. Most of the new stuffs we’ll be looking at came in towards the end of 2011, but you know, I was busy playing catch up with the best of list and attending MAGfest (which again, was awesome). However most of the awesome new arrivals [...]
Thursday Jan 26th VHS Trailer Show 3 @ 92Y Tribeca
This Thursday January 26th at 8PM the 92Y Tribeca Theater host their 3rd VHS Trailer Show! Some of us refuse to let go of our VHS tapes. One reason is that they have become a treasure trove of trailers for movies that time forgot. Being forced to scan past them each time you want to [...]
New and Notable- Daredevil by Mark Waid HC Volume 1
As I mentioned on our Twitter feed this past weekend, Wednesday the 25th is the official release day for the first collected HC of, hands down, my favorite mainstream superhero book since All Star Superman. No hyperbole, no guff. It’s that good. That being said, if you’d like to follow my recommendation for this book [...]

HGUC GM III Review
by Loran Like its younger, better-looking Gundam brother, the GM II has gone pretty unappreciated in the model kit world. There was one plastic kit back in the original Zeta Gundam line, and at least one conversion kit made for the HGUC GM. While I do like its design overall, it’s really not that much [...]
