Perhaps still stinging from public reaction to the 3D feature of the 3DS, it looks like Nintendo has caved on the Wii U. Read more »
It got off to a slow start, but by its midpoint, it became clear that the third season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars had found its groove, thanks to digging deeper into the Star Wars mythology, and delivering some truly epic story lines. Read more »
The bespectacled geek may be a stereotype, but who cares about stereotypes if you can’t see? There are contact lenses, of course, but there are times when your eyes just need a rest and you have to wear glasses. And when it comes to glasses, one of the irritating things about them is wiping them clean. I am sure you can think of a hundred and one situations when those lenses get smudged, foggy, or dirty. And if you do not have the right kind of cloth, you know how that goes. If you can relate, raise your hand! (Mine are both up.) What if you can have a t-shirt Read more »
The nice peeps over at Skyhorse Publishing sent over a copy of The Brick Bible for us to peruse, and you don’t have to be a believer to enjoy its LEGO greatness. Take a look at a few choice pages from the book. Read more »
Newsarama have started a discussion asking ‘do fans even know what they want’? This week, the topic has turned to that bugbear of the discussion boards (and articles such as this one); the company crossover. On such a contentious topic, I could hardly resist contributing my own point of view. One can hardly deny the efficacy of the crossover.

Break-Thru helped introduce me to parts of the Ultraverse that had hitherto remained unseen by me. Wildstorm Rising served a similar role, and Dark Horse’s late (and lamented Read more »
Because even the forces of the dark need a best friend. I guess that’s what was going on in the head of artist Sacha Goldberg The name might ring a bell, because it was not that long ago when we featured his work. Remember the grandma who was depressed? Thanks to her grandson, she was able to cope with her situation by dressing up as a granny superhero and having photo shoots. Now if that can only work for all of us! Anyhow, we featured Mamika and her partner not long ago, and I really had fun putting that entry together. It’s not your usual superhero post, and the age Read more »
We’re delighted to have Justin Gary with us, sharing his thoughts on the new expansion for the Ascension series.

Rage is an attempt by the makers of Doom and Quake to step outside of the box and do something unexpected. On that goal, they’ve succeeded, but you’ll never be confused about who made the game. Read more »
Some people have a thing for customized license plates, and we can’t blame them for that. After all, there is something about a license plate that is unique from the plates on the countless cars that you see on the road. It is just a pity that there are also lots of d-bags out there with silly license plates that should just not be allowed! People living in Australia are in for a treat toward the end of this month, though, and no one can really criticize the concept behind the yet-to-be-released license plates. By the end of the month, DC comics license plates are going to be released in Read more »
