The Weekly Worship: those darn ‘Godbombin’ Vikings!

There's never been a better time to be a Nordic warrior. The History Channel's Vikings is the closest thing to a weekly episodic Thor series; Jason Aaron's Thor: God of Thunder is enjoying the character's finest run since J.M.S.; and Alan Taylor's Thor: The Dark World hits theaters this fall. Not to mention the Odinson …

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! -- …
