Comics Interview: Mecha-Nation Exclusive with Greg Weisman

Mecha-Nation follows five young high school students who find that they have amazing new abilities and can transform into a new robotic fighing force for good. This team consists of Kevin (Stealth), Susie (Fahrenheit), Zahra (Charge), Ray (Tank) and Marcus (Blast).

This brand new series is distributed by Ape Entertainment and is a collaboration between Victor Cook, Greg Weisman and Greg Guler.

We had a chance to speak with Greg Weisman about the project:

WonderCon 2010: Chuck VS the WonderCon

There are so many great things to say about Chuck that it is hard to find the best place to start. This series has been one of the most consistent and well written shows out there since day one. Chuck is halfway through its third season and has yet to release a single bad episode.

This year at WonderCon, the minds behind Chuck gave fans of the show something truly special, an early screening of the upcoming episode "Chuck versus The Other Guy", which would have served as the season finale had the order for 6 additional episodes not come through.

Blu-ray Review: The Neverending Story


FALCOR!
ATREYU!
FALCOR!
ATREYU!
BLURAY?
Bastian?
ATREYU!
Shut up Falcor, I'm writing here…
FALCOR!
Not you too, Bastian.

Ok, now that the cast has quieted down…

Turn around and look at what you see.  Nothing?  Damn.
Ok, turn around again, this time METAPHORICALLY, and look really, really far back, to the long lost year of 1984.  No, squint a little, you can totally see it in the mirror of your dreams.

That's right, it's The Neverending Story, and it is back for the 21st century in Blu-ray form.

Movie Review: Kick-Ass

Over the last few years, film-goers have had a massive exposure to comic-book culture.  The average viewer has become more open-minded when it comes to seeing the next comic related release.  The next character to make the leap to the big screen is Mark Miller's Kick-Ass and ComicsOnline was invited to a private screening of this upcoming release in San Diego.  It is easily one of the most over the top, violent, profane and exhilarating comic-book movies ever.  This is no Dark Knight and it sure isn't Iron-Man.  Kick-Ass is something entirely new and different…and could easily be one of the best movies of the year!

Now you might be asking yourself, who is Kick-Ass and why should I go see a movie about him?

DVD Review: Wolverine and the X-Men Volume 4- Fate of the Future

TO ME MY X-MEN!

When the future of mankind and mutantkind are at stake there is only one team that can save the day: Wolverine and The X-Men! Can our favorite mutant heroes find a way to help Professor X and stop the dystopian future ruled by the Sentinels from ever happening?

This release contains 5 episodes featuring classic X-Men villains like Mojo, Sabertooth, The Silver Samurai and Master Mold!

TV Review: Chuck Season Three (Episodes 1-5)

The fans have spoken and Chuck, one of the best shows on television, has made its return to NBC for Season Three!

Thanks to an amazing fan campaign and the decline of people who actually care about Heroes, NBC realized the importance of this little spy show and has truly given it a chance to shine. Chuck advertisements have been all over the place and these days, marketing is everything. When I arrived home last week I found a Fedex box from NBC Universal with the Chuck Press Kit, containing the first five episodes of Season Three, a secret spy kit, digital voice changer, and super secret spy glasses! The episodes alone would have been cool enough, but I do love my spy kit.

 

Blu-ray Review: Battlestar Galactica- Season One



The Cylons are coming! The Cylons are coming! They're here.

Battlestar Galactica: Season One
has made its way to Blu-ray, and it is
truly glorious. This is a show that was meant to be watched in high
definition. It is amazing how different the episodes look compared to DVD. I need to start out by mentioning that I do indeed own all of BSG on DVD. It was a series that I felt needed to have in my collection and I wanted to relive it before the final season aired. Now that this Blu-ray set is in my hands, I have the desire to own it all on Blu-ray.

Blu-ray Review: Family Guy- Something, Something, Something, Darkside

 Family Guy returns to the Star Wars universe in their newest Direct to DVD/Blu-ray release: Family Guy- Something, Something, Something, Darkside. This latest installment parodies the events of Star Wars – Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, featuring Chris as Luke, Peter as Han, Lois as Leia, Stewie as Darth Vader and The Giant Chicken as Boba Fett. The rest of the Family Guy gang is around too making surprise apperances as other classic Star Wars characters. The jokes are nerdy as hell and any fan of Star Wars will love this new adventure!
