Maybe that’s not the No. 1 fight fans are waiting for but you get the idea. It’s always fun trying to figure out who would be the victor in a battle royale.

The reboot of the DC Universe has certainly garnered DC comics and DC characters a lot of attention. While being less than enthusiastic about the reboot for characters like Batman I was looking forward to being able to jump in on the ground floor with some others I hadn’t been following. I bought the first few issues of Catwoman and I was suprised, amused and even entertained. Read More

I have really fond memories of the Phantom Menace build up and finally seeing the film. With the Phantom Menace 3D cinema release coming closer I thought I would share some of my memories of the build up to it’s release back in 1999. Before I start I feel like I should make one thing clear. I love the Phantom Menace. I saw it five times in the cinema and plenty more on VHS and DVD. I have read countless negative reviews of the film and watched the hilarious Red Letter Media you tube reviews but that hasn’t changed my mind. I still remember how awesome the Phantom Menace was when I first saw it and that I was genuinely surprised to read the bad reviews.

Schism is an epic X-Men story that has been built up by Marvel as one of those ‘nothing will be the same again’ stories. X-Men comics have a fantastic history of great stories and this one doesn’t disappoint. It starts off with Logan and Scott attending an arms control conference in Switzerland where Scott hopes to talk world leaders into deactivating their Sentinel programs. Scott brings Logan along with him because he wants someone that he can trust and rely on. They have a bit of a heart to heart which seems a bit out of character for both of them but its done so that the ending of the story is that more shocking. Read More
DC Comics master plan has seen them restart their comics continuity and start all of their titles from number 1. So here’s a review of the first issue of Action Comics otherwise known as Superman. The original issue #1 of Action Comics with Supermans first appearance would set you back hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even though I know this issue #1 is only worth $2.99 it’s still fun to own a copy. This issue is written by the always entertaining Grant Morrison who has previously written the excellent All Star Superman. I was expecting great things from this issue. Something grand and epic. What I got was okay but not much of an entrance.
