| HBO Orders Season 3 Of ‘Boardwalk Empire’; Season 1 DVD/Blu-ray Now Available For Pre-Order Posted: 12 Oct 2011 07:25 PM PDT  President of programming for HBO, Michael Lombardo, has announced that they have officially renewed their hit Prohibition drama Boardwalk Empire for a third season. The decision was made after the show received continued critical praise after its season 2 premiere on September 25. Of the announcement, Lombardo said "Following a triumphant first season, I was eager to see what Terry Winter, Martin Scorsese and the rest of their stellar team had in store, and they continue to surpass our highest expectations. The response from the media and our viewers has been extremely gratifying." Boardwalk Empire is set in 1920s Atlantic City (with visits to New York and Chicago) during the Prohibition era, where various factions are caught up in a chess game of booze and politics—with public figure and the man to see when it comes to liquor, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (Steve Buscemi), in the dead center of it all—while attempting to eliminate their competitors and rule the alcohol business.

| Comic Review: The Cape #2 (of 4) Posted: 12 Oct 2011 05:25 PM PDT  The Cape #2 (of 4) Written by Jason Ciaramella Inspired by a Short Story by Joe Hill Art by Zach Howard Colors by Nelson Daniel Letters by Shawn Lee IDW Publishing Released October 12, 2011 Price: $3.99 There are a lot of comics out right now that deal with fantastic people with amazing powers who are, well, kind of jerks. The Cape #2 (of 4) for IDW Publishing is another one of these books, and it is also one seriously messed up comic. I mean, there is some really freaky stuff going on in this book. And you know what? I don't have a problem with that because it is one well done comic. How The Cape sets itself apart from books like Irredeemable is that while it has some superhero elements, it is more of a grounded story with normal characters and a situation that many can identify with [...]      |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 04:31 PM PDT  Orchid #1 Written by Tom Morello Art by Scott Hepburn Colors by Dan Jackson Cover by Massimo Carnevale Dark Horse Comics Release Date: October 12, 2011 Cover Price: $1.00 In all honesty, I asked to review this mainly because it was written by Tom Morello, of Audioslave and Rage Against The Machine (one of my favorite bands ever) fame. I went in with an open mind and I truly expected something slightly strange...I was not disappointed. Orchid #1 is a glimpse into a future to which none of us wish to bear witness. Orchid is the story of a world after the sea has risen and changed the topography of the land. The wealthy live up high while the poor are forced in dirty villages and live as slaves to the folks in charge. Nature has kicked evolution into overdrive and there some scary creatures living in the forests surrounding each town. We get to see some of the rebels who want to change the way things are but are both out manned and outgunned at every turn. One of them escapes the clutches of the authority only to find himself hiding with the family of Orchid, a local prostitute who also has a healthy sized rebellious streak. It all wraps up with them being carted off to be sold as slaves [...]      |
| Don Johnson Joins Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’ Posted: 12 Oct 2011 03:39 PM PDT  If there is one thing that Quentin Tarantino is better at than most people, it is reviving the "dead" careers of various actors. Be it a stagnant John Travolta in Pulp Fiction or David Carradine in Kill Bill, the guy just knows how to reboot careers. And now it is Don Johnson's turn. Variety is reporting that Johnson is set to join the cast of Tarantino's new film, Django Unchained, in the role of Spencer "Big Daddy" Bennett [...]      |
| Comic Review: Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Season 9 #2 Posted: 12 Oct 2011 03:05 PM PDT  Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 9 #2 Based on the television series created by Joss Whedon Script by Andrew Chambliss Pencils by Georges Jeanty Inks by Dexter Vines Colors by Michelle Madsen Letters by Richard Starkings, Jimmy Betancourt Cover by Steve Morris Alternate Cover by Georges Jeanty, Dexter Vines, J.D. Mettler Dark Horse Comics Release Date: October 12, 2011 Cover Price: $2.99 Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 9 #2 starts off with dead bodies, credit demons (no, really), and a big dose of cold, hard reality for Buffy. Add to that some creatures of the night doing a little breaking and entering and you have the makings of a good BTVS story! [...]      |
| Dates Set For ‘Die Hard’, ‘Taken’ & ‘Percy Jackson’ Sequels Posted: 12 Oct 2011 01:56 PM PDT  Today's a great day if you like Liam Neeson or John McClane. Dates have been set for the release of a cavalcade of hotly discussed projects today, and none are bigger than the upcoming fifth film in the Die Hard franchise, now titled A Good Day To Die Hard. The film, helmed by John Moore, will hit on February 14, 2013 and will find our lead in battle with Russian forces, along with his two sons. Got to have some young blood in there, I guess [...]      |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 01:12 PM PDT  Ghostbusters #2 Written by Erik Burnham Art by Dan Schoening Colors by Luis Antonio Delgado PCOC Pages by Tristan Jones Letters by Shawn Lee Covers by Dan Schoening, Nick Runge IDW Publishing Release Date: October 12th, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 Simply put, reading this comic makes you remember just how much fun you had seeing Ghostbusters for the first time in the theater. One of the things I love about this series so far, and it's only 2 issues in, is that it feel like a natural continuation of the film franchise. There's no reboot, not pre-first film story going on. In fact, the boys actually have to deal with events that happened in the films. Just like in real life, things you do from the past come back to haunt you. I have to give it to writer Erik Burnham, he packs a lot of story into this issue. This comic is the very definition of "page-turner". We get to see more actual ghost busting in this issue than in both movies combined. As it was with the last issue, the dialogue is written very natural for the characters, you can hear the actors saying the lines in your head as you read the book. New characters are introduced, new story lines are set up and best of all, we get so see a full-on Ghostbusters "call" from beginning to end. [...]      |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 12:28 PM PDT  Haunted City #1 Written by Chap Taylor, Peter Johnson Illustrated by Michael Ryan Colored by Kelsey Shannon, Beth Sotelo Letters by Josh Reed Aspen Comics Release Date: October 12, 2011 Cover Price: $3.50 Paranormal comics usually aren't my bag, but this one seemed different. A crooked cop, a Celtic goddess and children dying. Haunted City #1 brings all that to the story and a bit more. Best of all, not only is it a comic series but it will apparently transition into a feature film, a television show, and a video game. The story is just getting started, obviously, but Chap Taylor and Peter Johnson spin one hell of an interesting tale. Secret police, female rabbis, drug dealers. A very populated first comic. And that's not even including all the ghosts...it seems New York is an undead haven! The comic actually describes it as "the biggest haunted house in the world." Even the bold lines of Michael Ryan's art is perfect for this series. [...]      |

| The GoD List: Comics For October 12, 2011 Posted: 12 Oct 2011 09:07 AM PDT  Each and every week "The Spider" Henchman21 and "The Microwave" MK2FAC3 read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible… theoretically. They look forward to some more than others, I mean, who doesn't? So, let's take a look into the depths of their pull lists, grab some comics, and we'll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of October 12, 2011. Single issues and trades, they're all here. The 'Wave is busy traveling to New York Comic-Con, so he's a little preoccupied this week, what with packing his Batman costume and making sure he has enough Batarangs with him so he can fight crime on the streets of the real Gotham city, so it's just your friendly neighborhood Henchman this week (I'm already stationed here in NYC for the week). "Wavey Gravy" does want to make sure you know about The All-New Batman: The Brave and the Bold #12, out this week featuring a team-up with Zatanna. Because it wouldn't be a GoD list without MK talking about a Batman comic. Here are a few books I am looking forward to this week [...]      |
| ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 2 Premiere To Kick Off AMC’s Fearfest Posted: 12 Oct 2011 08:12 AM PDT  AMC has announced that their annual horror-themed festival Fearfest, which runs the last two weeks of October, climaxing on Halloween obviously, will be launched on Sunday, October 16, 2011 with the Season 2 premiere of The Walking Dead and will feature original programming and the network television debuts of several horror films from recent years.

| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 07:06 AM PDT  Ghostbusters #1 Written by Erik Burnham Art by Dan Schoening Colors by Luis Antonio Delgado PCOC pages by Tristan Jones Letters by Shawn Lee Covers by Dan Schoening, Luis Antonio Delgado, Nick Runge, Alan Robinson IDW Publishing Release Date: September 28, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 "Who you gonna call?" That's right, folks. Ghostbusters #1 begins a new ongoing series from IDW Publishing. I know what you're thinking...didn't someone try to do this a while back...like several times? Yeah, but not like this. Someone really watched their movies, didn't you Erik Burnham? He perfectly captured the nuances of all the original characters. It's like you can hear them talking. No, I didn't really hear them. Geez, I'm not quite THAT crazy. But wow, I felt immediately immersed in the story and really embraced his dialogue between the characters. Simply well done, sir [...]      |
