Wonder Woman is a name the is so famous that it is almost completely disassociated with the comic world itself. She is in herself her own entity. She instills hope, power, and courage into young girls and women alike. Even though she is the essence of women’s power incarnate she, as many women through the ages, has suffered heartache, disempowerment, and prejudice. In Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines, a PBS special, we find out the story behind the woman that made her what she is today.
Let me first start by saying that the ending to this game left me so mind blown that I didn’t move out of my chair or speak to anyone for a solid half-hour after the credits had ended. I can also state that this franchise has been one of my favorites for the past decade. However, it wasn’t until four in the morning the night of completion that I had that Bioshock epiphany that really made the game so much more amazing to me.
After the atrocity that was Wolverine: Origins aired a couple years ago, I think it’s safe to say that we’re all cautiously optimistic about the premiere of The Wolverine. I say this because Origins was one of my favorite comics to hit stores in a long time. How it was possible to fuck up that arch so badly is beyond me. You wait three fucking movies to introduce Gambit and then make him the biggest pussy the world has ever seen? COME ON GUYS. I digress. Here’s the trailer for the movie if you haven’t seen it already. I’ve got my fingers crossed and my hopes up.
On April 17th, Dark Horse airs their newest in their collection Star Wars: Darth Vader and the 9th Assassin. Prior to this trade, eight assassins had been hired to murder the renowned Lord of the Sith. All eight had been slaughtered. The man who has enlisted the assassins as a motive of revenge has to pay a price for more hefty than his bottomless pockets can handle. However, when it comes to avenging his son, no price is too high.
I’m starting to realize more and more that Dark Horse has their hands on, around, and in everything that I love. They’ve merged with some of the biggest names in comics, television, movies, and gaming to produce some fantastic sub story lines comics. Joss Whedon is doing Angel & Faith, a Buffy/ Angel reboot through Dark Horse. There’s a bunch of Star Wars excitement going around. They even have a Dragon Age comic, even though it’s not choose your own fate. The newest arrival that made my inner nerd girl scream is a prequel to the highly anticipated Last of Us game from Naughty Dog.
The human animal is a ‘weapon’,” says SKINNY PUPPPY vocalist niVek ohGr about the eponymous title of their upcoming album (Metropolis Records; release date: May 28, 2013). “Every action and thought, conceived then carried out; whether political, physical or spiritual, has the potential to cause harm and misery; just as the same action, not underwritten with fear and misinformation, but carried by only positive intent would have the opposite effect.”
Relapse Records is extremely excited to announce the signing of Brooklyn, NY blackened sludge trio Mortals! Formed in 2010, Mortals (Elizabeth Cline, guitar & vocals; Lesley Wolf, bass & vocals; Caryn Havlik, drums) have quickly built a reputation for their harrowing concoction of black metal, stoner-swamp-sludge and doom metal, being described by MSN’s Headbang blog as an “engrossing and devastating version of modern metal.” and by Meat Mead Metal as “massive and crushing.”
