Remember when Doctor Who comics were covered here fairly regularly? That sort of faded from the forefront when it became more and more difficult to track down IDW Publishing’s solicitations and previews. I guess having a rabid fanbase just isn’t enough these days. Just for today though, we return to those thrilling days of yesteryear [...]

I woke up this morning with the realization that I might be Willy Loman, Arthur Miller’s tragic protagonist from Death of a Salesman. Like poor Loman, I too feel that I am capable of greatness, but am frustrated at every turn by my inability to achieve said greatness. Have I been deluding myself all this [...]

Oooh, I always wanted to do a post on Friday the 13th. Hopefully my face won’t melt off. I’ve read two bad reviews of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World in the last two days. How can this movie be bad? It was the most talked about event at Comic-Con this year. Could all those geeks [...]

Hello Sweetie: The Mystery of River Song

I recently decided to rewatch the entire fifth series of Doctor Who to try and evaluate Steven Moffat’s success or failure as show runner. Having just completed “Amy’s Choice”, I have to say that I am generally pleased. But that’s not what I wanted to talk about. As I watched “The Time of Angels” and [...]

It’s the hump day, people: that part of the week marking the beginning of the countdown to the weekend. Start the party. Of course, if you happen to be a working person, the day is significant, but what if you sit in your apartment everyday bemoaning your unemployment status? Then is it just a Wednesday? [...]

It’s a big day for Marvel, with the debut of the trailer for Kenneth Branagh’s Thor and the trailer for Disney XD’s Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Not being a huge fan of Thor, the buzz around the movie was off my radar for a while. The stills featuring Thor and Odin reminded me of something [...]

Doctor Who: After The Big Bang

So the final episode of Steven Moffat’s run of Doctor Who has finally aired here in America. It was great seeing both episodes at Comic-Con with a huge crowd, laughing and cheering at all the right moments. Judging by the reaction of the attendees, the episodes were a success. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan (and [...]

The Monday Mashup — 2010 Comic Con Hangover Edition

Administrator — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:23:16 +0000

So I sit here, bleary-eyed, wondering if the last several days were just a dream, if they really ever happened. But of course they did and I have the pictures to prove it. San Diego Comic Con has come to an end for 2010 and rather than bore you with my amateur prose, I’ll just [...]
