When DC Comics announced Frankenstein would be a part of the New 52, I don’t think anyone expected it to be one of their best books. Jeff Lemire and Alberto Ponticelli have created something special with Frankenstein, and the other agents of S.H.A.D.E. In this #2 issue they pick up investigating a set of monstrous [...]

Halloween is coming, and its that time of year when costuming is on the mind. Don’t have a lot of spending money? I’m here to help with a few tips that I’ve played with over the years. I do costuming as a hobby, but I like to be as cheap as possible. 1. Plan ahead [...]

Not much is heard officially from the 2nd Mass compound, but if you follow several of the actors twitter accounts, you’ll find they are hard at work getting ready to film next season’s episodes. Although ‘Falling Skies’ won’t be back on the small screen until next summer, the cast has already assembled in Vancouver to [...]

I’d never read ‘The Punisher’ until this series.  Violent vigilante that goes around killing folks?  No thanks!  But Patrick, our site’s owner, asked me to check it out and thank goodness he did!  This series is EXCELLENT! This story arc began in issue #1, when some gangsters crash a wedding reception and kill almost everyone [...]

Last time we reported on the news about Warner Bros. making a ‘Twilight Zone’ movie, they were in the process of choosing a director for the film and had Christopher Nolan at the top of their list. Now in an exclusive, Deadline is reporting that they have approached ‘Cloverfield’ director Matt Reeves in hopes that [...]

This coming week promises to have something for everyone who loves science fiction and fantasy. The mashup of Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty and the Beast for the romantic, 1970s thriller for the horror fans, swords and sorcery for the D and D-er in you, and the pulpiest classic science fiction tales for me. [...]

The season three finale saw the destruction of Praxis at the hands of Adam Worth, and Helen Magnus going back to Victorian London…meanwhile, the abnormals that had always inhabited the underground world of Praxis came up to the surface seeking sanctuary, no pun intended. In episode two of season four, we rejoin the present day [...]

It’s always hard for a child actor to transition into adult roles when they get older, especially when audiences watch you grow up as the iconic Harry Potter in the ‘Harry Potter’ films. Since the completion of the filming of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2’, Daniel Ratcliff has been taking on roles [...]

For weeks, we have been speculating about what changes have happened to the world of ‘Fringe’ because of Peter’s absence.

At the end of ‘FF’ #9, the Future Foundation had just narrowly avoided an intergalactic war. After the brief skirmish, Reed Richards, his father Nathaniel, and Spider-Man left the realm of the godlike Inhumans via Eldrac, the Door. Eldrac has the ability to teleport anyone who walks through it to wherever in the universe they [...]

A monster of the week and a clip show in one? These are both episodes that I typically hate when done on TV shows, and yet this combination on ‘Supernatural’ actually worked for me. It had the right level of emotional impact, a really excellent villain, and a surprise cameo from the past. [Be warned, this [...]

Normally Halloween time is my chance to stock up on Frankenberry and Boo Berry cereals but it looks as if DC Comics is going to force me to buy some other cereals. In an effort to tap into a potential market of new readers, DC has decided to insert comic books into specially marked boxes [...]

Tonight we join our two favorite droids as they leave Aleen and head home to the Republic. On the way their ship is hit by Separatists - specifically, General Grievous. As C3PO searches for an escape pod, R2D2 jumps into a fighter craft and C3PO follows.  They fly into battle, their reactor is hit, and they crash land on a foreign planet. Our view of [...]

Super heroes beat up giant robot.  The end!
