A hero corrupted by the power he relies upon to defeat the enemies of his people, driven by the deaths of the ones he loves family, he will fall even further so long as his descent means no one else will have to suffer. Sound a little like Anakin Skywalker? There are a number of [...]

Following directly out of Secret Invasion, was the beginning of a new age for the Avengers – a Dark Age, and a new team is formed to follow this new vision, led by Norman Osborn (formerly the Green Goblin) and made up of some of the Thunderbolts (reformed supervillains) and other undesirables – all ready [...]

Mass Effect: Redemption takes place two years prior to Mass Effect 2, following the story of Mass Effect 1 party member Liara T’Soni as she goes on an emotional personal quest. After Commander Shepard, the famed hero of the Alliance, supposedly dies in a sudden attack on the Normandy, it seems all sorts of groups [...]

With my recent interest in the Marvel cosmic line of comic books, and discovering how much I actually really enjoyed Secret Invasion – I decided to check out the book that in many ways is the origin for that tale, the original story showing how Earth came to be involved in the Kree/Skrull War. And [...]

Previously I’ve reviewed some of the audio dramas from the Black Library’s Warhammer 40,000 line. My first experience, with Fireborn, completely changed the way I look at audiobooks – not just because it was a great story, but because of the presentation (from music to sound effects) used to such excellent effect.

I was highly entertained by my last foray into a Black Library Audio Drama, and this follow up did nothing to dissuade me of the notion that this is how Audio books were meant to be done. This time there are two short stories, written by two of the biggest names in the Warhammer fiction [...]

I’ve heard nothing but bad things about this series, from reviews that have blasted every aspect of it (concept to execution) and yet there was something compelling about it to me. I’ve loved the Transformers for a long time, it was one of my favorite toys (and probably the last toy line I was really [...]

I think I’ve already established that I’m a pretty big transformers fan. I collected all 80 issues of the original Marvel comics run of the four issue limited series, as well as their follow up Generation 2. I collected many of the toys in my youth, and even some of the resurgence of the comics [...]

My initial tour of the Marvel Cosmic titles comes to an end of sorts with this volume of Guardians of the Galaxy – I’m now caught up until the Realm of Kings books are released later this summer. Last time, Nova convinced me that it would be a book worth sticking with – but would [...]
