Blu-ray Review: Surrogates
Based on the comic series of the same name, Surrogates delivers a thriller wrapped in an action movie packaging that will keep you locked in your seat for its short, yet sweet duration. The Blu-ray release feels like a similar treat, offering a very small amount of awesome special features packed in with great video and sound quality. Fans of the original comic series as well as fans of sci-fi films in general should pick this one up.

DVD Review: Sands of Destruction, The Complete Series
So you've had a rotten life, you're dominated by a race of beast men that would just as soon kill you as look at you. Everything you hold dear seems meaningless because the most important person in your life was killed trying to change the world. What would you do? If it were me and I had access to the power to destroy the world, well, I would use it and do just that. I would destroy the world.
Blackest Night
After the awesomeness that was Blackest Night 6, The side stories are just not that good anymore. Don't get me wrong, they're worth picking up for sure, but damn issue six was a thrill. If you haven't started up and you like superhero comics even a little bit, plan on picking up the trade when it ships. We've got to assume that will be rather soon after the release of issue seven.
