  • “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Teaser Trailer is here!

    I seriously never thought I’d see another new Star Wars movie in my lifetime. But here it is, The Force Awakens, and it’s coming next year. And it looks like it’s taken the best parts of the original trilogy and set the dial to 11. So go and click play, and may the force be…

  • Batman: Zero Year [Review]

    Three years after DC introduced wide, sweeping changes to their mythos by way of the New 52, I’ve remained pretty indifferent to what DC has to offer. Mainly because I feel that the previous DCU was a rich universe full of legacy and history, and at the same time insanely accessible. I became a DC…

  • Doctor Who: Death In Heaven [Review]

    The last time I’ve seen a Doctor Who finale this satisfying was with The Big Bang from way back in 2010. Death In Heaven is a fantastic, if subdued, finale that neatly ties almost all of the ideas that were introduced with Peter Capaldi’s first outing as the Doctor. I wasn’t able to review the entirety…

  • What's On My Mobile Game Playlist?

    I haven’t been playing games as much as I used to, mainly because life caught up with me. I don’t have time beyond swiping out my phone in the middle of the commute and sneaking a peek at a game now and then. Yes, people, I have a life. Or maybe I sleep too much…

  • Doctor Who Series 8 Starts in 8 Days!

    I don’t know about you, but it’s been far too long since we’ve had a proper Doctor Who fix. We were left hanging after Matt Smith regenerated into Peter Capaldi way back in December’s The Time of the Doctor. Now it’s eight days before August 23, and we’ll get to watch Capaldi play a reportedly…

  • New Superman Image From "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" Teases A Whole Lot Of Nothing

    So last night, DC released this new image of Superman from the impossibly-titled Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. So here’s Superman standing and scowling at the rooftops of what appears to be Gotham City. Probably moments before Batman pounces on him and stabs him with a kryptonite knife. So he has very minimal costume changes, but…

  • "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" Review: Full of heart, but still leaves you cold

    I absolutely enjoyed the first Amazing Spider-Man. Sure, it had its faults – mainly being a reboot of a franchise that was still fresh in peoples’ minds, going through a lengthy origin story that was already tackled in depth by the Sam Raimi trilogy, and taking on almost the exact story beats that the first…

  • "Son of Batman" Review

    Damian Wayne is a little piece of shit. That’s the first thing you need to know about Batman’s kid. But there’s a backstory to it, before you go off hating the… little piece of shit. He’s the illegitimate son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. He was raised, without his father knowing of his existence,…

  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier Review

    Let me just get this out of the way. Captain America is in my top four favorite superheroes, mainly because of Ed Brubaker’s now-classic run which heavily relied on espionage and spy drama. And of course, Brubaker’s The Winter Soldier stands out to me the most as having the balls to mess with the established mythos…

  • An Open Letter to 40-Year Old Ade

    Dear 40-Year Old Ade, Hey there, man. How are you doing? Are you doing ok? Are you finally get married or did you finally snap and buy a real doll and kept it in your room? Do you have kids and did you really push through with naming them “Genetic Experiments #1, 2, 3…” and…
