Cast your mind back some twenty years, and you may remember the great legacy that Roy Thomas tried to tie together in the form of the All-Star Squadron. Taking multiple stories based during war-time from the then nearly fifty years worth of history that DC had already produced, Mr Thomas added a smidgeon of his own material and crafted the All-Star Squadron. Based mainly on the-then Earth Two, DC’s star-spangled wartime heroes and mystery men gathered under presidential decree and fought in World War Two as much as they possibly could. To prevent them winning the war over-night, Hitler was said to possess the Spear Of Destiny, which would immediately Read more »

Ten Heroes Who Died To Start Their Careers
The subject of much derision or anticipation, resurrections within the pages of the monthly pull list are almost commonplace. Superman has done it, Hal Jordan has done it, Jean Grey has done it twice. Yet for many heroes, death is not the mid-point of the story, but the beginning. This follows a timeworn tradition that has encompassed horror through the ages, tales of mythic romance and tragedy, and forms the backbone for shamanic or religious transformation in myriad traditions. There is little imagery so powerful as the sacrifice of the self, whether though voluntary means or otherwise. Frankenstein’s Monster Frankenstein was a ground breaking fiction in its time, Read more »
The Simpsons in Minecraft
Since the world was graced with Minecraft, players have used the game like a virtual play set of LEGO blocks, in order to build… well, anything they can think of. Here’s one of the most clever uses I’ve seen yet: the entire opening credits sequence of The Simpsons, filmed in the gloriously low resolution of Minecraft. Read more »

5 Reasons why Team Fortress Arcade is a must download
So I checked out the video and I must say this is a “fresh” look into the way back machine of gaming nostalgia. In a nutshell, Team Fortress Arcade is a project that takes everyone’s favorite Free to Play shooter and turns the whole experience into a side scrolling action platform reminiscent of the days of the SNES and arcade machines. In Team Fortress Arcade you can relive the Payload maps with the same objectives but in side scrolling mode. It’s not enough to kill enemies, but you need to move the payload forward to advance to the next areas of the stage. Here are 5 reasons why you should Read more »

The Voodoo That You Do
Reading the shipping listing in text format can lead to a number of amusing misunderstandings, as happened this week. I saw the listing for Voodoo #1 and all thoughts of the DCnU had escaped my mind; I wondered what it could possibly be? Maybe another independent title such as the almost retro Witch Doctor that brought such pleasure a few months ago? Of course, upon arriving at the store, I realised my mistake. The integration of the Wildstorm characters into the mainstream DC universe had intrigued me since I first heard of it. Absorbing the characters of other companies has been a long-standing tradition at DC, from Fawcett and Read more »
