Slaughterhouse: ‘Welcome to’ Hip-Hop’s ‘House’ of Horrors.

Say what? A hip-hop review on a "geek culture" site? Well, allow the Rev to explain. It all started off in the park way-way back... Well, growing up in an "ethnically ambiguous" city 50 miles from Boston, hip-hop music (or rap music, as y'all over 55 would call it) has always a huge part of …

Batman: Earth One – This Alfred will $%*^ you out dead with zero warning!

It's no surprise the name "Michael Caine" is likely to be one of the very first mentioned following any initial take of The Dark Knight Rises. So leave it up to arguably the finest writer at DC Comics in the past decade.. to fuck that all up. In a good way. Geoff Johns' "Earth One" version of Alfred …
