| DC Relaunch: Six Comics Canceled and Replaced With ‘Second Wave’ Posted: 13 Jan 2012 08:30 PM PST  DC Comics announced on Thursday that they would be setting up the second wave of "New 52" releases while also canceling six ongoing comics that were released in the initial run of the DC Relaunch. Resting in peace are six comics that were quite good and enjoyable or had a lot of potential to be great, so they will definitely be missed. Those comic books are Blackhawks - a war comic focusing on a group of militaristic mercenaries in the vein of G.I. Joe; Hawk and Dove - the only DC book written by the extremely talented Sterling Gates with art from Rob Liefeld (more on him in another article); Men of War - a war book that was one of my favorite comics of the relaunch that took a realistic approach to the military in a world full of superheroes; Mister Terrific - one of the very few DC comics with a person of color as the leading role.

| Posted: 13 Jan 2012 07:00 PM PST   Four Lions Netflix Streaming DVD | Blu-Ray Directed by Chris Morris Starring Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak, Nigel Lindsay, Adeel Akhtar, Arsher Ali, Craig Parkinson, Benedict Cumberbatch Drafthouse Films Originally Released: May 07, 2010 Four Lions has been labeled by many as a "dark comedy" movie, but let's be honest: the term "dark comedy" is a safe phrase added to comedic media that pushes the boundaries and is truthfully dares to make light of that which is considered too taboo to joke about. In other words, it is irreverent humor, which is my kind of comedy film. Four Lions, complete with brilliant performances, an excellent cameo from Benedict Cumberbatch, and the abovementioned irreverent comedy is what we have been waiting for a long time: a swift kick in the nuts of political correctness.

| Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman’s “Somethin’ Stupid” … ‘Skyrim’ Style! Posted: 13 Jan 2012 05:30 PM PST  That's right, ladies and gentlemen, it's yet another Skyrim video! If you've not noticed, I have something of a obsession going on here, and if it's Skyrim-related and makes me giggle, it must be shared. This new video in particular had me giggling like a kid getting tickled by his parents for the first time, unlike that rather strange last video we saw, which only haunted my dreams. [...]      |
| ‘Conan’ & ‘Friday The 13th’ Remake Director Marcus Nispel To Take On ‘Hack/Slash’ Posted: 13 Jan 2012 04:00 PM PST  One comic book-to-movie adaptation that many have been excited about is Hack/Slash, based on the comic of the same name created by Tim Seeley and Stefano Caselli. Unfortunately there's been some delays and complications in getting the project moving, and so those who are excited have had to wait impatiently for movement. Now it appears things are picking up for the Relativity Media title, though whether you will still be excited or not is worthy of discussion. [...]      |

| Comic Review: Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #1 Posted: 13 Jan 2012 12:00 PM PST  Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #1 Written by James Roberts Art by Nick Roche Colors by Josh Burcham IDW Publishing Release Date: January 11, 2012 Cover Price: $3.99 IDW is taking the Transformers universe in a bold new direction. After the events of the previous series, The Autobots no longer wage battles to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons, as the cartoon theme song once said. The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons is finally over. The Matrix was used to purge Cybertron, and the planet has reverted to a primordial state. Also, Optimus Prime has apparently retired, leaving Cybertron to explore the galaxy. In the remnants of the Matrix, the Autobots discover a star map that appears to lead to Cyberutopia, the home of the legendary Knights of Cybertron. Rodimus is now convinced that the Knights are real and he is assembling a crew to travel in space in search of the Knights [...]      |

| Comic Review: G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #174 Posted: 13 Jan 2012 08:01 AM PST  G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #174 Written by Larry Hama Art by S L Gallant Inks by Gary Erskine Colors by J Brown Letters by Neil Uyetake Covers by S L Gallant and Gary Erskine, Herb Trimpe, and Larry Hama IDW Publishing Release Date: January 11, 2012 Cover Price: $3.99 I gotta tell you, once a month when I read G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, I feel like I'm a kid watching the G.I. Joe cartoon after school. And nothing is as fun as that! I'm really surprised that sales on this title don't eclipse the sales on the other G.I. Joe books, because this is what Joe fans have always wanted. I almost wish there were two books set in writer Larry Hama's Real American Hero universe. I would LOVE a Larry Hama Snake Eyes solo book [...]      |
