| Webcomic Review: King Of The Unknown Posted: 16 Apr 2012 06:00 PM PDT  King of The Unknown Created by Marcus Muller Art by Marcus Muller King of The Unknown Release Date: Available Now Webcomics typically fall into two categories: either they are rough homemade projects that rely on humor and a compelling story to make up for a lack of art, or they are polished, professional-looking comics that feature a very abstract concept that has relatively no mainstream appeal. The webcomics that can find the space in between those two categories tend to be the ones that generate an audience. Off the top of my head, I can think of several webcomics that have jumped the gap from D.I.Y projects to independent masterpieces including, Evan Dahm's Rice Boy and Ben Costa's Shi Long Pang. King of The Unknown falls into that harmonious middle ground as well with polished artwork and thoughtful storytelling. Marcus Muller has created a comic that has ties to mainstream audiences, yet stays true to the roots of the webcomic community [...]      |

These things come from the interwebs, hence the clever name.

| Check Out This Pair Of Final Posters For ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Posted: 16 Apr 2012 12:25 PM PDT  Marc Webb wants everyone to be fully aware that The Amazing Spider-Man will not be the Sam Raimi Spider-Man we all know and remember. Previously trailers and posters flaunt a darker, grittier, and more grounded Spider-Man than the Spider-Man we are used to seeing. And now a pair of final posters has been released. And guess who takes center stage in this poster? That's right, Yahoo! Movies has released a pair of posters where Spider-Man graces us with his presence. Check them out here below [...]      |
| Hall Of Shame: 6 Bands Snubbed By The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Posted: 16 Apr 2012 11:00 AM PDT  On Saturday another round of musicians and bands were inducted into Cleveland's storied and controversial Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The triangular glass edifice (which the term "glass house" certainly applies here) has been home to many musical artifacts and slightly biased and even ass-kissing styles in terms of its adoration and out and out blatant favoritism in terms of who gets inducted into this sprawling pyramid of a place. The history of the hall itself is also as messy as the communal responses to it. The Rock and Roll Foundation itself was founded on April 20, 1983. But the physical building itself did not open until over 10 years later, finally opening on September 2, 1995. There were a few different choices originally where the building should have been built, Memphis (birthplace of Sun and Stax Records), Detroit (home of Motown Records), Cincinnati (home of King Records, which showcased early Rockabilly and James Browns' embryonic musical start), and New York City (home of many songwriters and producers). But Cleveland was chosen for a few reasons. One, $65 million in public money was pledged to the funding of the construction, which certainly whetted the Rock and Roll board's appetite; Two, many public polls favored Cleveland to having the hall built there; and most importantly, three, Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed has been considered in essence the first person to credit, acknowledge, and even coin the term "Rock and Roll." Freed even organized in Cleveland in 1952 what is widely considered the very first Rock and Roll concert as well there. These factors were main catalysts in creating and finalizing the decision to have The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame erected in downtown Cleveland, where it stands today, right by the banks of Lake Erie, just east of where the NFL team The Cleveland Browns play in their stadium [...]      |

| TV Review: Game of Thrones 2.3: What Is Dead May Never Die Posted: 16 Apr 2012 08:01 AM PDT  Game of Thrones Season Two, Episode 3 – What Is Dead May Never Die Directed by: Alik Sakharov Written by: Bryan Cogman Starring: Mark Addy, Alfie Allen, Emilia Clarke, Liam Cunningham, Charles Dance, Stephen Dillane, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Fairley, Aidan Gillen, Jack Gleeson, Iain Glen, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Conleth Hill, Carice van Houten, Harry Lloyd, Richard Madden, Patrick Malahide, Rory McCann, Sophie Turner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Maisie Williams, and Issac Hempstead-Wright Part of the episodic structure of Game of Thrones, for good or for bad, is that the show is a direct one-to-one adaptation of the book series. Having not read the books, I don't know how faithful the adaptation is, but George R. R. Martin's structure doesn't often lend itself to having individual episode themes; instead, the show looks to playing out the larger themes of the series over the course of the season. This isn't a bad way of storytelling, in fact, it's one that Game of Thrones has very well mastered. Power and who wields this power has been a topic of much discussion for many of our characters this season and this week's episode, "What Is Dead May Never Die," continues this concept, but also plays with the assumption and illusion of who really, truly has power.
