Villordsutch reviews Image Comics’ Rat Queens #1… “A band of four women, a human, a dwarf, a hobbit and an elf, form an adventuring party to kill monsters and party with the rewards.” Now this is comic is a breath of fun filled fresh air that is certainly not for children.  Rat Queens is set […]

Anthony Stokes on the “Marvel’s movies are for kids, DC’s for adults” debate…. We’re in the age of blockbusters and tentpoles and I personally couldn’t be happier, especially with Marvel. They’ve continued to produce quality, well-made movies with Oscar caliber storytellers at the helm and delivering a consistent movie going experience.  Their counterpart company with […]

A few years back it seemed that the only chance of another visit to the Star Wars universe (in live-action form at least) was the long-in-development TV series Star Wars: Underworld, before George Lucas decided to shelve the project due to budgetary concerns.

Typically recent entertainment content has had an emphasis on blood, violence, and sexuality in attempt to be ‘edgy’ in it’s style and texture. More interestingly is how morality is depicted through the […]

Chronicle and Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan is certainly popular these days; over the past couple of months he’s been linked to the role of Johnny Storm in The Fantastic Four and Apollo Creed’s grandson in the Rocky spin-off Creed, and now we can add another film to that list with The Wrap reporting […]
