World of Warcraft Movie Rolls Big; Loots Duncan Jones as Director

Posted January 31, 2013 by Chris Tansuche

Remember the World of Warcraft movie? It was supposed to be done by Sam Raimi, only to have everyone’s dreams crushed when he went to do Oz: The Great and Powerful and said at Comic-Con 2012 that they had to go to a different director? I thought that was pretty much the death knell for [...]

Slushoverse: The Shared Realities of JJ Abrams!

Posted January 31, 2013 by Scott Fraser

For those that are unaware/living under a rock, the Internet broke last week with the news that JJ Abrams will be directing Star Wars: Episode VII for Disney. I’m still feeling a little upset/happy over this news. I loved what Abrams has done with the Star Trek universe, so by all rights I should be really excited by the fact that [...]

Marvel Preview: Uncanny X-Men #2

Posted January 30, 2013 by Scott Fraser

The world of the X-Men has been going through some serious changes after the events of Avengers vs X-Men, especially when it concerns the former leader of mutantkind, Cyclops. Brian Michael Bendis has been crafting a new role for the X-Man that seems to take a page out of  Magneto’s former book, and has him running [...]

Everything You Need to Know About “Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For”

Posted January 30, 2013 by Brian Kronner

In 2005, two movies came out that forced me to the theater several times – and neither of them took place in a ‘galaxy far far away’. They were of course Batman Begins, which I saw four times and solidified my love for Gary Oldman, and Sin City, which I attended three days in a row [...]

WWE Monday Night Raw Recap & Review 1/28/13

Posted January 29, 2013 by Adam Popovich

Tonight’s episode of Raw follows probably one of the most disappointing Royal Rumbles I’ve seen in years. Disappointing mostly because it was so insanely predictable that it ended up just being depressing rather than exciting. On top of that the match between CM Punk and Rock being incredibly underwhelming, and you had a PPV I [...]

More Marvel Characters to Big Screen: Dr. Strange Joins Ant-Man in Phase 3…

Posted January 29, 2013 by Amanda Denton

As a DC girl it’s a tough pill to swallow, but I think we have to admit that Marvel is much better than DC when it comes to movies. There is no denying that The Avengers and it’s “feeder” movies, have done incredibly well. So well that the people at Marvel have decided to let [...]

Marvel Preview: Captain Marvel #10

Posted January 28, 2013 by Scott Fraser

Carol Danvers has been a longtime favorite of comic fans, from her first outing as Ms. Marvel, followed by her cosmic run as Binary, and they even stood by her throughout the Warbird phase. Then the return to Ms. Marvel sparked a new golden age for the character as she received a new series and became a [...]

Cartoon Network Cancels ‘Young Justice’ and ‘Green Lantern: TAS’

Posted January 28, 2013 by Scott Fraser

I have to say, I’m pretty upset right now. For those that have been reading the site for awhile, you should be well aware of my deep seated love for both comics and cartoons. So when you combine both and tease me with the prospect of a comic based cartoon, you can pretty much guarantee [...]

SNL: 38.11 – Adam Levine/Kendrick Lamar

Posted January 28, 2013 by Amanda Denton

Adam Levine is no stranger to SNL. Actually I think he is the first person to appear as a musical guest (on the Jeremy Renner episode with Maroon 5) and host in the same season. As is often the case with hosts who are familiar to the show, the writers step up their game and [...]

The 20 Best Superhero Animated Series, Part II

Posted January 28, 2013 by Scott Fraser

When compiling this list, I was faced with a good amount of cartoons that didn’t quite fit in to what I was going for, so I was forced to put on a few qualifiers for inclusion. The main extinction factor being the animated series had to be based off an existing comic book, so there [...]

Comic Box: Spider-Man’s Confusingly Crappy Clone Saga, Part IV

Posted January 27, 2013 by Scott Fraser

Comic Box is back on time and on schedule, which is completely unlike the series we have been covering for the last few weeks. Yes, I could only be talking about the Clone Saga, which I’m sure you figured out since it’s in the title and everything. This is the penultimate chapter of our look at [...]

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Casts More Stars From Movies Past

Posted January 26, 2013 by Chris Tansuche

In the X-Men Universe, I always thought that Days of Future Past was one of the best storylines out there and helped define them as the go-to comic for me. While the Phoenix Saga ranks as number one to me, I remember reading the comics for Days of Future Past at a friend’s house and [...]

Arrow, 1:11 – “Trust But Verify”

Posted January 26, 2013 by Amanda Denton

Yao Fei why have you betrayed me?!?!?! Sorry I just had to get that out-of-the-way. After last week’s lackluster episode, Arrow came back this week quite strongly and had a little bit for everyone. So Oliver is back in the swing of things, working out as usual, and keeping his eye on the news. This [...]

Fister Roboto’s MAMA Review

Posted January 25, 2013 by The Grizzly Bomb

I bought my ticket for Mama with reluctant anticipation. While it can’t hurt to have Guillermo del Toro’s name attached to a film, horror fans are used to constant letdowns at the multiplex. I was pleasantly surprised to learn Mama was an old-fashioned ghost story. While I’m almost numb to come-out-of-nowhere scares, my less jaded [...]
