Kre-O Sentinel Prime Review
By Loran When I was a kid, I was really into LEGO, even more than I was into action figures. As the years went on, though, I noticed the sets were declining in quality, mostly due to the amount of effort they were funneling into the Star Wars sets. As a result, I got more [...]
Gyo Gets Animated
Junji Ito’s wild horror manga Gyo is getting the anime treatment and I’m squirming with excitement! Up until fairly recent I was only vaguely familiar with Ito’s work, mostly from the live action adaptation of Uzumaki and seeing his name on various books in the store. That is until I picked up Gyo. Immediately blown [...]

Go to DMC!!!
Viz Media’s Detroit Metal City is like nothing you’ve seen before. I remember when the first volume came out. I knew nothing of the book, but as a Heavy Metal fan myself, I was instantly attracted to it. Now Volume 8 is hitting the shelves this Tuesday, and I’m salivating for it because I’ve become [...]

Lard Lad
Forgot to eat all day and realized I wasn’t going to be able to stand much longer without sustenance. My solution? A bagel with a whole lotta gooey cream cheese. How do I feel? Like this: Except I’m not made of vinyl and I don’t have Kidrobot tattooed on my butt.

Stan Marsh Vs. Facebook (AKA The Master Control Program)
South Park, a program which I ashamedly admit I’ve only had a modest interest in since its debut despite a circle of friends who swear by its perpetual gut-busting charms, recently aired a spot-on episode titled “You Have 0 Friends” equating the ubiquitous behemoth Facebook to Tron’s Master Control Program. Stan is digitized a la [...]
Links for 10/22/09
According to The Hollywood Reporter Executive Producer and showrunner Marc Guggenheim has left ABC’s FlashForward, a new borderline sciffy series I’ve been digging immensely. David Goyer, who along with Brannon Braga is co-creator of the show based on Robert J. Sawyer’s 1999 novel, has been handed the reins. SciFi Wire gives the change a thumbs [...]
The DP’s Obligatory Marge Simpson in Playboy Post
Well, the cover to Playboy’s first (as in there very well may be more?) issue to feature a cartoon character has been released… …And all I can think in response is a shudder, a la Homer at the thought of shaving the legs of his sisters-in-laws.
Tuesday Morning Cartoons.
Marvel and DC Comics have released their latest animation endeavors with the “Spider-Woman” motion comic, and the first four minutes of “Green Lantern: First Flight”. We would embed the clips to the body of this article, but they’ve crashed my browser four times since this morning. So, apologies. The Spider-Woman “motion comic” which still just [...]
