WARNING, WARNING, MONTHLY SHAMELESS PLUG APPROACHING! So SHAMELESS PLUG (I did warn y’all), this time next week I’ll be in Chicago for C2E2, which is exciting for me at the very least.C2E2 isn’t as toy-news friendly as NYCC or SDCC, so the recap will probably ended up being chock full of cosplay, comics, and celebrities.

NECA Big Red Predator Review
While I have more or less sworn off Western toys in varying forms, I have made the decision to still purchase a select few. These will only be special examples; like, one-off figures I just find cool–None of that obsessive collecting anymore. One such exception is Big Red from NECA’s Predator line. Now, if all [...]
TRY SOMETHING NEW Chapter 2: A Long Time Ago
So here we are at my second column of TRY SOMETHING NEW! already. Wasn’t too pleased with how the the first one came out, 20/20 hindsight and all, but we press on. New comics wait for no man or woman and so this column where I berate you for not buying enough new comics waits [...]

ADVENTURE!
There’s just too much comics news to keep up with. I’m still trying to unravel threads from the NYCC, and the next thing I learn is I missed out on news from the SDCC! Did you know that Oni Comics is going to collect Scott C.’s AMAZING webcomic Double Fine Action Comics, starting in April [...]

In Stock Now- Prometheus Engineer Figures from NECA
NECA’s new Prometheus toys have just arrived! Part of me absolutely frakkin’ loves this movie. The other, logical, side digs it almost as much despite its occasional mad-dopey moments. Point of fact… I was raging hard all over that writing snafu about being “half a billion miles from home” long before the Neil deGrasse Tyson [...]

The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Poster
So this has been released: I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Seriously though, I’ve watched the current trailer about fifteen times now and I can’t tell if I’m jazzed for these films (3?!) or if I’m eager to watch a beautiful, elegant disaster onscreen. Either way Jackson and co. are gonna separate some [...]

THWIP!
The Amazing Spider-Man is the summer superhero film I was excited about. Yeah sure, I liked the Avengers, and I’m hoping Batman will be good. Thing is…those movies don’t have Spider-Man in them. So, in the grand scheme of things, who really cares? Spider-Man is the world’s greatest superhero. It says so right on the [...]
