When last we rang up Mr. Isaiah Mustafa for his comics fix he intimated to us his intense desire to play Marvel badass Luke Cage in a forthcoming production. Looks like he got his wish. […]
Cripes Dangit! I’ve been swept out to sea by a freakin’ flash flood and have NO comic books to read this week. While you’re reading DC’s Action Comics #893 this week, featuring a drag-down, messed […]
By Loran In the Zeta Gundam movies, only one new mobile suit was really recognized. Sure, we got the occasional custom-colored GM Custom or GM Cannon, but those were really just brief cameos. Heck, even […]
By Christopher Troy I’ll admit. It’s rare for me to pick up a new Gunpla when I’m not familiar with it. I usually wait until I’ve viewed the respected series/movie it originates from before I […]
Well, at least my existence as buyer for Forbidden Planet: my monthly Previews catalog, due tomorrow. 550 pages (give or take, with Marvel Previews included) of pure Hell. Nothing on this Earth vexes me so. […]
From writers Scott Snyder and Stephen King, AMERICAN VAMPIRE introduces a new strain of vampire – a more vicious species – and traces the creatures’ bloodline through decades of American history. This first hardcover volume […]
By Loran Ah, Zeta Gundam. Widely considered by fans and critics to be one of the best-if not the best of all the classic Gundam shows. I personally think the original series wins that title, […]
…but I sure wish they were. Fan Daniel Kanemoto made this.
I’m very pleased to announce a special event with Rob Zombie at Forbidden Planet NYC on October 11th at 6pm! He will be signing copies of Royal Flush volume 7 (which features a totally rad […]
…by someone else. A rather large-necked filmmaker named George. Featuring lazers and Carrie Fisher. The Town.
By Loran Hey, something other than a robot for once! You know, despite my mixed feelings on the franchise, I’m glad I got into the Nanoha franchise. I always disliked getting into Magical Girl shows […]
By Mat K. There are a decent amount of books coming out this week, and one title in particular made something fairly clear to me. Natsume Ono is the new Fumi Yoshinaga. “How is that?” […]
Things in my cave are GREAT, thanks! I’ve taken care of that horrible bear, found a few new non-poisonous mushrooms and even got a girlfriend …although she might just be a hallucination, a side-effect from […]
Natch. Recently, we’ve been surveying readers and staff, and cluing you in to some of our favorite indie shops around the country. First we did bookstores, then we moved on to record stores. Both lists […]
by Christopher Troy I have a love/hate relationship with Capcom. I love me some Resident Evil and Street Fighter, the original Devil May Cry was the reason I bought a PS2, and like anyone who […]
Not much going on in the Geek Kingdom today (NOT! So totally NOT!) so let’s check in with Mars Rover Opportunity, who, unlike fellow trailblazer Spirit, currently has power and is about to investigate a […]
By Loran Like I mentioned in my last review of the Master Grade GP02A, I get impatient sometimes-why wait for an HGUC when I can just grab a Master Grade to hold me over? Yes, […]
Grant Morrison in a fun promo video for My Chemical Romance’s next album. Very cool.
One of my favorite cartoons from Nicholas Gurewitch. This and Wrath of Khan are the first things that come to mind on the anniversary of anyone’s birth.
“…the sentiment I wake up with on most mornings.” -W.E. Available on white or black background shirts at Mr. Ellis’ shop here. I’m also partial to the “Good Morning Sinners” coffee mug.
