Dungeon and Dragons Insider
About a year ago Wizards of the Coast made some bold changes to their marketing of Dungeons and Dragons to the gaming communities. It began with the release of a fourth edition of D and D that drastically changed how the game was played over the last 4 years while at the same time bringing the two magazines about their game, both Dragon magazine and Dungeon magazine back under their publication through electronic format only. Their goal, it seems was to bring everything back under one roof and give the players a comprehensive set of electronic tools to assist and enhance their game experience. Thus Dungeon and Dragons Insider was born.
So what exactly does one get with a membership to Dungeons and Dragons Insider? Read More >>

Land of the Lost
Release Date: June 5 2009
Director: Brad Silerling
Cast:
Will Ferrill as Dr. Rick Marshall
Anna Friel as Holly Cantrell
Danny McBride as WIll Stanton
and Matt Lauer as The Beaver
Ok, lets just face the facts here, Land of the Lost, originally conceived by SId and Marty Krofft as a Saturday Morning kids Sci Fi show was pretty dam awesome for the time. It had everything a kid could want, Dinosaurs, Monkey Men and Sleestaks (Reptile Men) all wrapped up in a easy 30 minute story that involved lots running from the baddies listed above but still have a family element. Granted, the special effects where, lets say 'old" but what did you expect from Sid and Marty Krofft. Read More >>

Saga of the Swamp Thing Book One (HC)
Price: 24.99 USA
Writer: Alan Moore
Art: Stephen Bissete, John Totleben, Dan Day, Rick Veitch
Color: Tatjana Wood
Quite possibly the greatest comic character created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson is The Swamp Thing. The Swamp Thing was a botanist, Alex Holland who suffered a horrible tragedy that ended in his being set afire, plunging into a swamp only to arise again as the Swamp Thing. Much more then some mere bog beast, the man who was Alex Holland, having lost his beloved wife, his life's work and thought dead, Read More >>

Lost
Season 5 finale,
Produced by: ABC Studios, Bad Robot Productions and Grass Skirt Productions,
Creators: JJ Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Jeffrey Lieber
I've been reluctant to write about LOST for a while now. Being one of my favorite shows running, the series has a depth in both character development and mythology. Now as we complete season 5 and approach the final season, LOST is resolving unanswered questions and ramping up the excitement for next year. So lets talk season 5.

Star Trek
Release Date: 05/08/2009
Director: JJ Abrams
Writing: Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman
(spoilers ahead)
The new Star Trek reboot has finally hit screens this week with a bang. This movie starts out at full speed and only takes just a few moments for a breather here and there before going full ahead for the remainder of the movie. Intent on being two things, a full reboot for a new generation and proving that Star Trek can indeed be titled a summer blockbuster whenever its released, JJ Abrams kept to his guns and made some drastic changes to the ST Universe while keeping true to much of the series original concepts.
The movie starts out with the birth of a captain, James T. Kirk, in the mist of a battle against a Romanian force stronger then any the Federation has ever seen. We then skip ahead to see key moments in the life of Kirk as he grows up, kind of a brat without a purpose until finally Christopher Pike meets him, setting him on the path of Star Fleet. Its there that we meet all the key characters, Uhura, Bones, Spock and once on the Enterprise we meet the rest of the crew.
While I did like this movie I feel the need the address the changes made from Original Trek to JJ Trek. First off, this isn't relaunch of the series, this is a re-imagining of the series as it plays out in an alternate universe time line. The main villain Nero is a Romlun from the future intent on destroying the planets of the Federation as retribution for the destruction of Romulus in the far far future of the original timeline. Once he appears in the past his actions immediately change the course of history. Kirks father dies saving 800 people while holding off Nero's attack, Star Fleet spends years upgrading their technology and has it culminate in their newest flagship the Enterprise. And finally, once future Spock arrives years later as the Enterprise is on its maiden voyage, Nero comes out of hiding and begins his genocide of the planets of the Federation. As it said, this is an alternate universe so JJ Abrams has free reign to make what ever changes he sees fit, and he does. What he doesn't do however is make much changes to the main characters, he keeps the humor that has been a part of Star Trek from the beginning along with comradely between Bones, Kirk and Scotty. He does however create a tension between Kirk and Spock that will make them work for their friendship of the next few films.
All in all this is great relaunch for the series and with any luck, it will generate interest in a younger generation to look at some of the great episodes of the original series and movies while waiting for the new film to be produced.

G.I. Joe Resolute
Writer: Warren Ellis
Aired: Cartoon Network Adult Swim
Time; about an hour
I had no idea this was even in the works. A new G.I. Joe animated movie written by non other then Warren Ellis and aimed at older audiences. Once I found out I went right out and found a copy to watch and I'm telling you, this is the BEST G.I. Joe i've seen since i watched the first animated mini series back in the 80's.
Focusing on the core early characters, we see right away that the lasers and parachutes are gone and in is a level of violence expected with a team using guns and knifes. Granted, the blood is just about non existent in this but don't worry, its not needed to convey the real action and excitement of this treasure.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
Publisher: Midway
Cost: 59.99
Platform: XBOX 360
I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical about this game when I originally heard it was going to be released. I mean, come on, mixing DC Universe characters with the bloody violence of the Mortal Kombat franchise didn’t seem like a match made in heaven, that is, until I played it.
Gameplay allows a few different options, a classic arcade style play where you climb the Kombat ladder as in the classic MK games, choosing to fight either pure MK, DCU or a mix of the two, and like the original, each character has its own ending story. Or you can choose to play the story mode, playing through as the MK or DCU side. Read More >>

Movie Review
King of Kong: A fistful of quarters
Release Date: February 2008
Director: Seth Gordon
I finally had a chance to watch this documentary the other day and really enjoyed it. King of Kong tells the story of the fight for high score on Donkey Kong between Billy Mitchell (long time record holder) and upcoming contender Steve Wiebe. It’s a classic underdog story like Karate Kid and Rocky. I really loved this move.
The story starts with a basic history of Billy Mitchell who won the world record for Donkey Kong and Centipede in the 1980’s, the height of classic video gaming. Billy Mitchell, who discovered the end screen of Donkey Kong, has never been approached as leader in the record of the game until now. Read More >>

Wolverine and the X-MEN
Well the newest X-MEN cartoon finally aired on Nicktoons here in the states and at this time is three episodes in. The first story arc “Hindsight” is just about done and has done a great job in telling the story of mutants and their fight against anti mutant oppression.
As the story starts, Wolverine is about to leave Xavier’s school for gifted youngsters but just as he is saying his goodbyes, a mysterious explosion hits and destroys the school. Flash-forward a few years, Wolverine is on his own and on the run from the Mutant Registration Department.

Dead Space
Publisher: EA
Cost: 59.99
Platform: XBOX 360
Dead Space is a third person survival horror action game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows. Playing as an engineer named Isaac Clarke you must battle your way through a ship infested with Necromorphs, a virus that changes the dead into almost unstoppable monsters. The game uses holograms to project things like your inventory, mission updates and other vital data in game in an attempt to keep the game seamless. This helps keep the game feeling like your watching a movie or cut scene for most of the game. Along with this aspect the game relies heavily on the sound of the game to keep you both on your toes and scared out of your mind. Read More >>

Camelot 3000: With the introduction of DC Comics Deluxe Editions Hardcovers
I finally had the opportunity to read this classic story. When first released in 1983 I wasn't reading comics and then I just never seemed that interested in what I that was a tale of the middle ages. I bought this book this mainly for the Brian Boland artwork who I've been a fan of his since his Animal Man covers so I thought it would just be some great early art of his and it was and and to my surprise and delight it was more.
Camelot 3000 is a a futuristic retelling of the myth of King Arthur and the round table. Through reincarnation King Arthur and his round table are one by one reawaken in the future in the year Read More>>

Seems like third times the charm with the Marvel Zombies franchise, this time spearheaded by Fred Van Lente, writer of The Incredible Hercules, MODOK’s 11 and the upcoming X-Men Noir. This time around the action takes place not on Zombie World but the mainstream Marvel Universe (Earth 616 for the initiated), deep in the heard of the swamp.

Atomic Robo: Art of War #1 of 5
Red 5 Comics
Price: 2.95 US
Words: Brian Clevinger

This was a fun unexpected find at the comic shop. I don't recall ever reading anything from Red 5 Comics but I'm interested in seeing what other books they offer after reading this. Atomic Robo is a story of a AI robot build by Nikola Tesla in 1923 that the US government granted full American citizenship in exchange for service in the Allied Forces against the advance of Hitler's army in Europe.
The stylistic art of Scott Wegener fits the book giving it a pulp/sci fi feel although he keeps the pages within the standard 4 panel presentation. Read More >>

I think back to my early days when I was a Kid what I loved about comics that still remains with me is the one on one experience that a great comic brought with it seemed like magic. I was like many kids a huge Spider-Man fan Marvel Team-Up being my favorite Spidey title (more heroes for the money). I loved that book and I never knew who the artist were most likely Ross Andru or Jim Mooney. I really didn’t care until Mom once again came home with one of those oversized Treasury Edition inside it was a reprint of Amazing Spider-Man Annual 1 I was hypnotized by it I had never seen Spider-Man drawn like this he was a hero but he was a kid not a bulking behemoth but like someone I might see on the street.

Will Whedon ever grow up?
Since first introduced to the writings of Josh Whedon he’s been filling the mouths of teenage heroes with the campest coolest pop culture dialogue and he’s been at it over ten years. I have to admit I’m one of his biggest fans and being the same age I get ever geek and camp reference he throws at his audience. I’ve been a faithful follower since the Buffy days and I couldn’t have been giddier when I heard he was making his way to comics.
I loved his run on the X-men that clearly harkened back to the Clearmount & Byrne era and his latest Buffy Season Eight just reminds me what genius the show really was. Now Runaways wait a second that’s Brian K Vaughn’s book and “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” I just wanted to see them cancel the title and just leave it as one of those perfect comic runs.

Alien

Price: 16.99 US
Well NECA has done it again; they found a way for me to buy ANOTHER alien toy from them. Their past work on the Aliens Vs Predator line was produced to such high standards that when I heard they were doing a sculpt of the Alien from the original movie I had to check it out. This 9” tall movie accurate sculpt features an extendable inner jaw, bendable tail and 20 points of articulation. The head of the Alien, as represented in the first film, is semi transparent and allows for the skull to be semi visible. Also, the general structure of the body is not as dynamic as those from the AvP set but that is entire on purpose to remain true to the original representation of the Alien as possible.
Keep up the fantastic work NECA!

Cover Price: 3.50
Rating: 2 out of 5
Let me start off by saying I am a fan of Hawkman. Being not only a visually impressive character, Hawkman brings along a rich (although complex) history with adventures that can range from the rugged to the epic sci-fi when placed in the correct creative hands. Hawkman’s history has had its rough points, especially since DC rebooted its universe in the 80’s with the first Crisis of Infinite Earths, never really settling in with one coherent origin, Hawkman was a character reinterpreted over and over until finally in the hands of Geoff Johns and James Robinson in the pages of JSA and Hawkmans Solo book Carter Hall was once again reborn to the greatness he deserved. Johns brought back a Hawkman that embodied all the best parts of Hawkmans past along with keeping him true to his origins and actually fitting into the DCU again. Read More >>

Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition Players Handbook
Let me start by saying that I’ve been a player of Dungeons and Dragons since the 1st edition and seen it go through a LOT of changes over the rich 30 plus history the game has enjoyed. Dungeons and Dragons has single handedly changed the concept of gaming as a dice and board game to a free form story telling game of cooperative efforts of the players and the person running the game. So its safe to say that the announcement last year that Wizards of the Coast would be releasing the newest edition of the game with major overhauls I wasn’t entirely surprised but along with a lot of players we wondered just how they could improve on the well received 3rd edition of the game released 5 years ago.

Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew is one of the great treasures of the 80's that collectors can find easily and cheap in any decent comic shop. Yea it may be a superhero funny animal book but hey, it's pretty dam awesome and this trade paperback collects one of my favorite stories in the short-lived series.
This trade sells for 19.99 and collects a number of stories, first the title of the book, The Final Arc was the 3 issue mini series released last year after the rebirth of the multiverse in the DC Universe during Coundown. Included with this is the eight-page prologue originally printed in Teen Titans meant to take a jab at the dark stories printed in the late 80's like Watchman and Dark Knight Returns.
