Cosplay fever continues to grow in popularity both as a hobby and as a spectator sport. To that end, we continue our series searching for some of the stars of the scene. One element that highlights great cosplayers is the ability to portray a wide range of characters (and to do them well).

Comic Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 3 – Issues 24 & 25
Have you ever been completely obsessed by a particular comic book series only to have it abruptly end without a proper sense of closure, with multiple questions left unanswered and various plot mysteries left unexplained? If you are anything like me you will have experienced this when Image’s run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came to a sudden close with issue 23. As this leg of the turtles’ journey involved many drastic changes to the turtles and their universe it was considered to no longer be “canon” for Mirage’s TMNT universe, and when Volume 4 began all of the events from Volume 3 were ignored and forgotten about.

DVD Review: Haywire
by Karl Madsen, Editor
Remember the first time you see a movie that’s told in a non-traditional fashion? For many in the movie viewing public, it was the classic Tarantino flick, Pulp Fiction that indoctrinated us to the alternate story telling styles. Now, the Steven Soderbergh thriller, Haywire, uses an unusual style to tell the story of a black ops soldier on the outs with her company.
