| Comic Review: Star Wars: Crimson Empire III – Empire Lost #5 and #6 Posted: 26 Apr 2012 07:35 PM PDT  Star Wars: Crimson Empire III - Empire Lost #5 and #6 Story by Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley Art by Paul Gulacy Colors by Michael Bartolo Cover Art by Dave Dorman Dark Horse Comics Issue #5 Release Date: March 07, 2012 Issue #6 Release Date: April 25, 2012 Issue #5 Cover Price: $3.50 Issue #6 Cover Price: $3.50 The explosive and amplified conclusion to the Crimson Empire epic is finally here, reaching an ending that makes for a highly satisfying resolution to the series that began many years ago. Star Wars fans who have followed the adventures of Kir Kanos will thoroughly enjoy the last two issues of Empire Lost, a tale that also sets up what chronologically comes next for the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant. Issues 5 & 6 conclusively tie together the loose ends left from the earlier installments, as Kir Kanos and Mirith Sinn journey to meet Imperial representative Feena D'asta, in an early effort to bring peace between the two major factions. They discover themselves betrayed, as antagonist Ennix Devian begins unleashing his strategy to open up his aim to retake the Empire under his own iron fist and perverted new order. Kanos and Sinn find themselves placed in a standpoint where they must stop Devian's forces, to help any future chance at peace between the Republic and the Empire [...]            |
| ‘The Avengers’ Mondo Posters For Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk, and Thor Posted: 26 Apr 2012 05:55 PM PDT  A couple of weeks back we revealed the Mondo posters for S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Black Widow and Hawkeye, and now its time for the four heroes of The Avengers to shine. Today previews for the Mondo posters for Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and The Hulk have gone gone online, and if you are familiar with Mondo posters, then you know they these art pieces are nothing short of spectacular. Martin Ansin worked on the poster for Thor, Phantom City Creative drew the Captain America poster, while Ken Taylor drew the incredible green and black poster for the Hulk, and Kevin Tong worked on the highly technological poster for the invincible Iron Man.

| $5 MP3 Album Deal: Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’ Posted: 26 Apr 2012 04:00 PM PDT  A stylistic left turn away from the more pop-friendly tracks of The Bends and Pablo Honey, Radiohead's OK Computer may not be the best of the band's albums, but it may well be their most important. The album can be had right now on Amazon for just $5 as one of the 100 notable albums on sale during their $5 MP3 Album Deals for the month of April 2012. Widely acclaimed and sonically diverse (though not as diverse or experimental as later works), OK Computer offers stand-out singles like the slow building "Lucky" and "Karma Police," as well as several other expressive tracks that impress on first listen but make their full impact felt over time [...]      |
| Comic Review: Masters of the Universe: The Powers of Grayskull, Part One Posted: 26 Apr 2012 03:00 PM PDT  Masters of the Universe: The Powers of Grayskull Part One: The Legends Begins Story by Scott Neitlich Written by Tim Seeley Art by Wellinton Alves Colors by Michael Atiyeh Letters by Nate Piekos of BLAMBOT Cover by Eric Powell Designer: Justine Couch Dark Horse Comics Release Date: April 16, 2012 Cover Price: $22.00 (Only available with Thunder Punch He-Man from Matty Collector) In celebration of the 30th anniversary of The Masters of the Universe franchise, Mattel and Dark Horse Comics are releasing brand new mini-comics, just like the ones that were included in the original toy line. Last year at the San Diego Comic-Con when these plans were announced, He-Fans, myself included, literally stood up and cheered. So, does The Powers of Grayskull: Part One live up to the hype? Let's take a look [...]      |
| Watch The Trailer For Metallica Fan Documentary ‘Mission To Lars’ Posted: 26 Apr 2012 01:35 PM PDT  Tom Spicer is fanatical about Metallica. During the day he makes animal bedding out of recycled materials, but it is after work that he gets to indulge in his favorite band, in particular verbose drummer Lars Ulrich. For years all Tom has ever wanted is to meet Lars and hence the name of the documentary: Mission To Lars. What makes this such an interesting looking film is that not only does Spicer live in England – and Lars Ulrich thousands of miles away – but he has Fragile X syndrome, a kind of "autism with bells on" is the description from Tom's sister in the trailer. But more than just a road movie about a man wanting to meet his hero, Mission To Lars is also a story of sibling love and trying to rekindle that [...]      |
| Jennifer Connelly and Saoirse Ronan Joining The Cast Of ‘Noah’? Posted: 26 Apr 2012 12:20 PM PDT  Before it was just one, now there could be three. During an interview with THR at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Paramount President Adam Goodman revealed that Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic Noah would be adding two actresses to the cast. Jennifer Connelly – who has been long rumored to be a part of the cast – and Saoirse Ronan are reportedly joining the cast [...]      |
| First Official Images from ‘Django Unchained’ Posted: 26 Apr 2012 11:00 AM PDT  Gee Leonardo DiCaprio, what are you going to use that hammer for? Just in case you are wondering that's Dicaprio here above as Calvin Candie, owner of the Candie Land slave plantation that will be seen in Quentin Tarantino's new film Django Unchained (full image here below). So I think that hammer will be used for more nefarious things rather than what its actually intended for. Following the release of the magnificent first poster for Django Unchained, we got our first looks at DiCaprio as Candie, and Christoph Waltz and Jamie Foxx as the German dentist turned bounty hunter and freed slave (second image here below) [...]      |
| Watch The First Trailer For John Hillcoat’s Prohibition-Era Crime Drama ‘Lawless’ Posted: 26 Apr 2012 10:15 AM PDT  One of my most anticipated films to be released this year is Lawless, the latest feature from Australian filmmaker John Hillcoat -- the director of the blisteringly brilliant 2005 western The Proposition and the 2009 screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road -- that is based on the acclaimed historical novel The Wettest County in the World by Matt Bondurant. Now, the first trailer for the film has made its debut online. You can watch the trailer here below [...]      |
| Hero Complex Film Festival To Screen ‘Shaun Of The Dead,’ ‘Wall-E,’ ‘Robocop’ & More Posted: 26 Apr 2012 09:30 AM PDT San Diego Comic-Con and WonderCon may be the greatest gathering of heroes, villains, and all other pop culture-related shows, but it's the Hero Complex that's the one true geek-related film festival. Since its inception in 2009, the LA Times’ Hero Complex Film Festival – lead by LA Times writer Geoff Boucher – has screened films [...]      |
| Check Out This New ‘Prometheus’ Featurette Posted: 26 Apr 2012 08:45 AM PDT  "The adventures begins," says David, the android (they prefer the term 'artificial person') portrayed by Michael Fassbender in Ridley Scott's new film Prometheus. David is commenting on the Prometheus crew's first steps on an alien world - a world that could hold the secret to humanity's origins. In this new 1:39 featurette, which you can watch here below, director Ridley Scott talks about his return to science-fiction with Prometheus, a film 30 years in the making. "It's all about everything," says Scott at Pinewood Studios, an unfinished interior set of the Space Jockey room behind him [...]      |
| Doom Digest: BGS, True Skin, Walking Dead, Archie, Star Trek Posted: 26 Apr 2012 08:01 AM PDT  Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more.
