Big ol’ Wish List

Chris | March 31, 2011

by Chris Troy Good evening/afternoon/evening FPNYC faithful (I’m making sure I’m covering all my timezone, depending on your internet reading habits.)! Sorry for the delay in this weeks articles, but I’m coming off of a move, so I had to go a few days within internet access, let alone time to review new toys sadly. [...]

Transformer Generations Red Alert Review

Chris | March 31, 2011

By Loran In the same way I have a huge love for urban warfare-themed Joes, I love Transformers that turn into any kind of “rescue” vehicle—police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, whatever. There’s something delicious to be about a civil protection vehicle turning into a giant robot. Plus, if you think about it, a lot of [...]

Pursuit of Cobra: Cobra Fury Review

Chris | March 31, 2011

By Loran Like I said in the Alley Viper review, I love urban combat. Gray, white, and black camo; shotguns; close-quarters combat; ducking in and out of alleyways-it all just hits me in the right places. Now, I’m sure a lot of people might find the idea of a tank for urban combat kind of… [...]

Light Fell on Black Days

Morgan Pielli | March 30, 2011

By Shannon H Maybe it’s because the new movie just came out on DVD, but after three consecutive weeks of Evangelion manga, I’m starting to notice a trend. Not that anyone should really be complaining about a new volume of Neon Genesis Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse, because, unlike some of the OTHER spin-offs of the original [...]

Batman In A Whale

Morgan Pielli | March 30, 2011

By Unkiedev Marvel tells us that Ultimate X #4 will ship this week.  Sure it will. I’ve only plugged it three times, and each solicitation fails to deliver.  If the Gods of Comic Books indeed intend to smile on us this week I can recommend few books more than Ultimate X #4. Don’t know the [...]

Pursuit of Cobra Jungle Viper Review

Chris | March 24, 2011

By Loran No matter what the environment, Cobra’s got a specialized trooper just for that purpose. Whether it be the city, the desert, the arctic, or the jungle, chances are, the Joes are going to find more than just a bunch of blue-suited Cobra rookies. These are the guys they really need to watch out [...]

Transformers Reveal The Shield Turbo Tracks Review

Chris | March 24, 2011

By Loran Haha, oh Tracks… you’re certainly one of the more “entertaining” characters in G1. Yeah, the whole “Tracks is gay” thing got played out way too much by the fandom and it kinda got run into the ground. Even still, he’s probably one of the more memorable second-series Autobots. He’s kind of a douchebag, [...]

Locke & Key

Morgan Pielli | March 23, 2011

By Michael Bramley Novelist Joe Hill’s comics debut, Locke and Key, is the very best Vertigo book of the last ten years, and it’s not even published by Vertigo. Nope, this is an IDW title that reads more like a Vertigo comic from the nostalgic days of Swamp Thing, Sandman, or Preacher. That’s not to [...]

Light and Fluffy Time!

Morgan Pielli | March 23, 2011

By Shannon H Fanboys, rejoice! This week is so crazy chock-full of moe, the cute might actually kill you. So just make sure you take the proper precautions before you start reading. You have been warned. I believe I have already written an in-depth expose about why The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the best [...]

Silence is Golden

Morgan Pielli | March 23, 2011

By Unkiedev Comic books are the perfect marriage of pictures and words…but even the best couples need to take a break from one another from time to time! There is a great tradition of comics without words, or silent comic books.  Sometimes the entire series is done in this fashion, although sometimes it’s just a [...]
