Review: HGUC Hizack

Chris | October 29, 2010

By Loran As my last review pretty much stated, I love cannonfodder. But you know what I can’t stand? When a series doesn’t give nearly enough-I’m looking at you, Zeta Gundam. Really, there are so many different suits in the show and only three of the major cannonfodders got HGUC kits. Yeah, you could count [...]

New Comics From Dark Horse

lindsay | October 27, 2010

By Unkiedev Today’s column marks an incredible anniversary for me. No, it’s not the 100th column or even the 200th. I haven’t been keeping the best records of these things, so I couldn’t really tell you how many of them I’ve written. No, this is the column where we celebrate the fifth column written since [...]

Review: Tribes The Dog Years

lindsay | October 25, 2010

by Ryan King The first thing you notice about TRIBES: The Dog Years (IDW), a new 200-page sci-fi graphic novel produced by SoulCraft Media, is that there really isn’t anything else out there like it. The 11” by 8” widescreen pages boast eye-candy spreads with exquisite art by Inaki Miranda and lush evocative colors by [...]

Iron Man Villain Spotlight

Chris | October 23, 2010

By Loran Alright, big confession time: I was never into comic books as a kid. Still reading? Well, okay. They just never appealed to me too much and I could never figure out why. Even superheroes in general left me kind of cold. I was pretty ashamed of it for quite awhile, but then a [...]

Review: HGGS GOUF Ignited

Chris | October 23, 2010

By Loran ignited The Zaku, Gouf, and Dom are probably three of the Zeon’s most memorable mobile suits of the One Year War. They’ve seen tons of variants over the years, with the Zaku having enough to fight a war with variants of itself. Because of their immense popularity, many times the Zaku will outsell [...]

New Manga is Busy Busy Busy

lindsay | October 21, 2010

By Mat K. Why is it so busy? Good question, but not really the point. The delicious fact is that after last week’s short release list, this week is chock full of books for you to pick up. So lets start off with the premier titles, at least the interesting looking ones. Oh, one quick [...]

New Comics from a New Venue

lindsay | October 21, 2010

by Unkie Dev The good news is I’m no longer being held prisoner by Mermen. The bad news is I’m now being held prisoner by Magma Monsters. See, I started tunneling out of my barnacled cell using a spoon from the Titanic they gave me for my “Disgusting human digestion” as they called it, only [...]
