The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
On July 30th, everyone will get a chance to see an all new DC Universe Animated Original Movie. I already had the chance to see the upcoming Superman: Unbound, which I found to be quite good (Review HERE) and frankly, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has been putting out some quality features in this department for […]
Friday night at WonderCon, audiences got to witness premiere of the new animated Superman film, Superman: Unbound. This is another entry in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series, presented by Warner Bros., which has previously released films such as Batman: Under the Red Hood, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Green Lantern: First Flight, and […]
Detective Comics, or more commonly known as DC, has been churning out some very solid titles since the launch of their New 52 line in 2011. We’ve recently seen the launch of a new superhero known as Vibe. The timing of this new character’s own title was no mistake as it was brought to us […]
If you’re on the fence about getting into comic book reading or not, now is as good a time as any. In all honesty, this is a great time to delve into the pop culture art form. The stories and artwork that grace the pages of many of today’s titles are entertaining if not exceptional […]
In recent months, DC Comics has been heavily publicizing the release of its new TV series, Arrow, based around the character of Oliver Queen and his super hero identity of the Green Arrow. Some of the names have been changed (not to protect the innocent) but tonight, the CW debuted the first episode of what […]
I once spoke with an acquaintance who referred to vampires as cupcakes. It’s not because of their sweetened depictions in a great deal of pop culture productions. Rather, it’s because they are the current flavor, if you will, just as the hand-held dessert is the current pastry trend. Let’s face it, vampires will always be with us in all […]
Just when you thought DC’s launch of the New 52 was long done and over, readers get treated to an extension of that with this week’s release of Batman Annual #1. The title comes to us amidst the very solid ‘Night of the Owls’ story arc currently taking place throughout many DC titles while also […]
The final week of issue 1’s from DC’s New 52 have been released and the public has had their day in the sun to review them. While I didn’t get to every issue that came out last week, I did take a look at six of the titles. I passed on David Finch’s The Dark […]
The final week of The New 52 is upon us, and while I will have a review of multiple titles next week, today is going to focus on a character DC has had trouble delivering to readers on a more serious level. Aquaman. The sea-farring superhero turned 70 this week, debuting in issue #73 of […]
Yesterday witnessed another barrage of DC Comics restarts as we get closer to the final launch date. Though September 21st’s releases consisted of twelve titles, we’re going to take a quick look at half of those, including DC standouts Batman and Wonder Woman. It’s hard to believe four of the five ‘New 52’ release dates […]
After today, there are only two more Wednesdays of release dates that restart 52 DC titles at issue 1. While I was unable to get my hands on issue 1 of Deathstroke (sold out) or a few of the other DC notables today, I did pick up six other firsts. Read on to see what’s worth a buy and […]
DC Comics’ ‘New 52’ mass reboot of 52 of their titles is already a huge success. A good handful of these titles are already out in stores. Check out DC’s schedule to see what issue 1’s you may have missed and what’s right around the corner…
Never has a comic book publisher done what DC is about to. Through a great deal of planning, caution and artistic development, the home of Superman and Batman will reset 52 of its titles, many of which are already deep into the hundreds, to issue 1. What would cause the company to create such a mammoth undertaking and […]
I remember last year sitting outside the 6,000-seat capacity Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center. It was a cool, gray-skyed morning as the line of pedestrian traffic snaked around the dewy grass. We all shared a common eagerness to experience the discussion panel of the Green Lantern. The almost-year since then has passed quickly and the […]
Not all that long ago, I came across DC’s latest animated title to hit the streets. Titled Batman: Under the Red Hood, Amazon included a brief clip from the film that contained some action, though offered little in the way of substance. It was questionable that DC released yet another Batman title in their animated […]
A place to sit is a much sought after item in the large Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center. The reason for this is due to the fact that this hallowed hall is where all the big budget films introduce their cast and trailers. Saturday saw the likes of some highly anticipated titles […]
This July, get ready for the latest high definition adventure of the Caped Crusader as he takes on his newest nemesis, the Red Hood. On July 27th, Warner Bros. will officially release its latest DC Comics animated film, Batman: Under the Red Hood. The 75-minute production matches up the Dark Knight against this latest foe […]
As special effects progressed and stories got more creative, the western became an increasingly difficult genre to sell to the general public. Compared to 40 and 50 years ago, the days of cowboys and Indians on the big screen is pretty much non-existent. How does one revive the category or even get one good film […]
