STAR WARS: “A New Hope” for fans of the axed Clone Wars.

With J.J. Abrams taking over yet another immense Sci-Fi franchise, Dark Horse's new Star Wars ongoing comic couldn't have come at a better time. And who would have thought my friend full of hoops, raps and circumstance would introduce me to the best cartoon since Batman: The Animated Series, too? Yes, I'm talking about Star …

Oz the Great and Powerful: Box-Office, maybe…

...because there surely hasn't been anything as enticing at the Big Screen thus far in the Twenty One Three. Oz will be, for lack of a better term, the least surprising film of the year. You know what you're getting with James Franco and his hunky-dory, Fonziesque, perfect-teeth persona. He actually does an admirable job …

Tomb Raider: Goodbye, Angelina; there’s a new Indiana Jane.. Payne.

The latest re-imagining of the beloved Tomb Raider fulfills all the promises of a sweepingly epic franchise. If you've played/defeated Far Cry 3, Uncharted 2, Darksiders II, and/or Assassin's Creed III, this "reboot" may touch a little bit close to home. But, hey, hunting nature's wildlife, searching for relics, solving certain puzzles, and taking on endless armored combatants are the …

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance – Who’s the Boss? Not I…

...or Tony Damn Danza. Why, it's the Kid. The Kid Nick B. Dot Com. My close friend -- who happens to be couch surfing at the crib to get a taste of that Holly-Hollywood -- just had to accomplish what the Rev didn't: beat this damn freaking game. As if it wasn't bad enough that …

The Weekly Worship: Comics for the Hip (and Trendy)!

This has been an excellent week for comics! Not that other recent weeks have been bad, but there's always a book, two or three from my pull-list that just doesn't live up to the hype. Not this week. (DC killed it. Article tomorrow.) In fact, the stupid-is-as-stupid-does Reverend Moody forgot -- okay, completely DIDN'T! -- …

DmC: Devil May Cry. But, hopefully, he won’t.

...'cause he's sure as shit thirsty for chainsaw-smokin' skeletons and migrated chemical goliaths. To think, Capcom might also shed a tear or two come next Christmas, when they realize one of the year's best titles might get lost among the typically huge blockbuster game shuffle come awards time. Don't scythe this messenger. Devil May Cry was, …
