Comic Review: Star Wars: Crimson Empire III – Empire Lost #1 Posted: 26 Oct 2011 05:51 PM PDT Star Wars: Crimson Empire III-Empire Lost #1 Written by Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley Pencils by Paul Gulacy Colors by Michael Bartolo Cover Art by Dave Dorman Dark Horse Comics Release Date: October 26, 2011 Cover Price: $3.50 Being a Star Wars geek, the 1990s were a great time to be an Expanded Universe enthusiast. George Lucas had opened the gates to authors, writers, artists, and video game designers to assist in developing the canvas of the Star Wars saga beyond the span of the movies. There are several highlights from those years, and one of the titles that stand out from that time was the Crimson Empire comic book series. Dark Horse Comics had taken a solid hold on the comic book front as far as Star Wars was concerned, and many fans believed that FINALLY the galaxy far, far away was at long last being treated with the serious outlook it deserved. While the novels paved forth a road for Luke Skywalker to resurrect the line of the Jedi Order, the comics complemented this, and in some cases, expanded past it [...]

Watch the preview for this new game here below [...]

Comic Review: Cobra #6 Posted: 26 Oct 2011 03:26 PM PDT Cobra #6 Written by Mike Costa Art by Werther Dell'Edera Colors by Arianna Florean Letters by Neil Uyetake Covers by David Williams, Antonio Fuso, Robert Atkins IDW Publishing Release Date: October 26, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 I have a feeling that Cobra #6 is the calm before the storm. The really, really BIG storm that's going to be rolling through the GI Joe titles in November and December as the Hunt for Cobra Commander storyline concludes. I have some mixed feeling about this issue. While the there are some further developments in the overall arc, for some reason I get the feeling that there should have been more. Writer Mike Costa gives us another solid issue, but with the reveal of the new Cobra Commander just two issues away, I was expecting a lot more [...]

H&M Launches ‘Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ Inspired Clothing Line Posted: 26 Oct 2011 02:26 PM PDT Just in time for Halloween and tailor-made for us non-girly girls, Swedish retailer H&M is launching a line of clothing and accessories inspired by the newly remade The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie, which is based on Stieg Larsson's bestselling book of the same name. Costume designer Trish Summerville (from the remake, not the original made waaaay back in 2009) designed the line for H&M in the hopes that every girl will want to look like gothy anti-social Asperger-burdened computer hacker and main character, Lisbeth Salander (portrayed in the upcoming film by Rooney Mara) [...]

Comic Review: Kato #14 Posted: 26 Oct 2011 12:55 PM PDT Kato #14 Written by Ande Parks Art by Lee Furguson Colors by Rainer Petter Letters by Bill Tortolini Covers by Ale Garza Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: October 26, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 OK, now THIS is the bad ass Kung Fu ninja book that you've been looking for. Disguised as a superhero comic, Kato #14 is actually like watching a really good martial arts movie. There's action from start to finish, with some surprises thrown in for good measure. Writer Ande Parks delivers a fantastic story. Also with the action comes surprises in the few pages that are not solid action, where he actually does some nice character development between the original Kato, and his daughter, Mulan [...]

The GoD List: Comics For October 26, 2011 Posted: 26 Oct 2011 10:53 AM PDT Each and every week "The King of Trades" Henchman21 and "The King of Smarks" MK2Fac3 read a lot of comics.

The Muppets To Invade WWE Wrestling On Halloween Posted: 26 Oct 2011 09:58 AM PDT For the longest time, World Wrestling Entertainment has had guest hosts from the likes Hugh Jackman to Pee Wee Herman, but never have there been hosts like this.

That's right, on WWE's Halloween edition of Monday Night Raw, the fuzzy friends of the geek universe will be hitting the squared circle to take on the likes of CM Punk, John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, and the entire WWE Universe [...]

Digital Comic Review: Age of Bronze: Seen #1 Posted: 26 Oct 2011 09:15 AM PDT Age of Bronze: Seen #1 (for iPad) By Eric Shanower Colors by John Dallaire Reader's Guide by Thomas Beasley Published by Throwaway Horse and Hungry Tiger Press Release Date: October 14, 2011 Price: $.99 Eric Shanower's epic Eisner-Award-winning series Age of Bronze has been praised by comic book fans, historians, and educators alike. Currently at 31 issues (and counting), the title began in 1989 with an ambitious goal: merge literary sources and historical/archaeological data on the Trojan War into a singular cohesive story. The fact that it's an entertaining read on top of that is just icing on the cake. Now the team at Throwaway Horse has brought Age of Bronze into the digital age by combining the original stories with a comprehensive reader's guide by Yale classics scholar Thomas Beasley. The result is an even more in-depth look at the Trojan War that includes maps, character guides, internet resources, and even a reader's commentary forum... all without leaving the app (helpful hint: the forum can be reached by tapping "Reader's Guide" when it's active). [...]

Watch Now: Hobbits Reunite For 10th Anniversary of ‘Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy Posted: 26 Oct 2011 08:28 AM PDT This year marks the tenth anniversary since The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring took the global box office by storm (one month after the first Harry Potter movie debuted). To celebrate that milestone, the British film magazine Empire is dedicating a chunk of its December issue to paying tribute to the LOTR movies in typical Empire style. The issue will spotlight a reunion of the four actors who played the brave hobbits of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic - Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins), Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee), Dominic Monaghan (Merry), and Billy Boyd (Pippin). To promote the issue, Empire has put together a short video preview of the hobbit reunion which you can watch here below, as well as an image from the reunion [...]
