If anything, SEGA should be held responsible for pushing “Anarchy Reigns” back to this week. Anywho, 2012 was a shockingly awesome year for collectibles, [...]

I would like to start this article off by “publicly” thanking those friends of mine who purchased a plethora of games via Steam for me this past Christmas. You’re given me an excuse to continue half-assing it via “Best of” articles. 2011 wasn’t a bad year for comics, but 2012 seems to be one for [...]

Part 1: I love Chris Ware. Bit redundant to say so this holiday season with everyone and their sister buying Building Stories, but with so much comic awesomeness that happened in 2012; between Charles Burn’s second installment to his X’ed Out trilogy, The Hive, and Brian K.

The Weekly Pulse – “Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.”

“Watchmen is over!” wasn’t just a line of terrible dialogue added to Zack Snyder’s 2009 film adaptation of Watchmen, it was also the thunderous roar of author Alan Moore’s opinion on the matter. But Jim Lee and DC Comics didn’t heed this declaration, or perhaps misinterpreted it as lamentation instead. So here we are, 26 [...]
