ComicsOnline Exclusive: XBox Australia Mass Effect 3 Preview Event
HUGE thank you to the amazing (and incredibly lucky) Kerrie for providing this for us! — Karissa & ComicsOnline
by Kerrie Hui, Guest Reporter
I will admit it: I was late into the Mass Effect craze, and by late I mean so late that by the time I had won tickets for the Mass Effect 3 Sydney Preview and Media Event, I was only just removing the shrink wrap for ME1. It does however provide me a fantastic opportunity to tell you that by playing both 1 and 2 and jumping straight into 3, the differences between the three are fairly noticeable – they just keep getting better and better.

Comics Review: The Walking Dead #83 (MASSIVE SPOILERS)
By Matt Sernaker
There are a few moments in comics these days that really make you stop and reflect on what you just read (the shocking death of [REDACTED] in the penultimate issue of Y: The Last Man was a massive jaw dropping shocker that still makes me sad to this day). For those of us who have been reading the ongoing story of The Walking Dead, we have become accustom to Robert Kirkman’s knack for keeping his audience guessing…and the newest issue (#83) again not only pushes the envelope, but is also rather disturbing on multiple levels.
So many spoilers in the rest of this article. Read at your own risk.
DVD Review: Black Panther Motion Comic
We had iPads before you had televisions. What now, bitchez?
In 2005 Reginald Hudlin (House Party, House Party 2, House Party 3) and John Romita Jr. (Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Invincible Iron Man, Kick-Ass) brought back Marvel’s first black hero into volume 3 of The Black Panther ongoing series. This is a great comic whose initial 6-issue arc was strong and lent itself to an animated miniseries perfectly, but really that’s not unique among great comics, right? What’s notable here is the how and why this particular comic arc got made into a miniseries.
DVD Review: Iron Man- Extremis Motion Comic
The past few years have given birth to a new way of experiencing our favorite comic book series along with giving newcomers an easy window into experiencing comic book series: The Motion Comic. Not exactly fully animated (nor is it fully still), Motion Comics add flare and voice acting to existing comic book titles out there. Recently we’ve been seeing more and more of these pop up, especially as mini web series that various comic book companies put out in episodic bits. Watchmen, Astonishing X-Men and even Batman: Mad Love have all been adapted into this new format, and now it is Iron Man’s turn with Warren Ellis’s Extremis storyline, which is now available on DVD.
DVD Review: Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. We all grew up with these heroes around. Their comic books entertained us many a day during our childhoods. These films and television series fed our imaginations, and we played super heroes, or maybe even played a villain. Since the 1930’s, every generation had the same characters to look up to. And recently these characters have grown up into he kind of heroes that we all want to be in our current day and age. We know their stories and origins, but most of us know nothing about the company that publishes them. We may know most of the facts about the creations of the heroes, but all of the facts and how they relate are known only to the few who are practically historians on the subject. Now DC Comics has authorized, and released through Warner Brothers, a documentary on their seventy five year history, Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics.
DVD Review: Astonishing X-Men- “Gifted” Motion Comic
Motion comics are becoming an increasingly popular way to bring comics to broader audience by using slight animations and voice acting. The latest comic to receive the multimedia treatment is Joss Whedon's astonishing run on X–Men. After years of crafting his masterful banter and wit-filled dialog on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly, Joss brings his uniquely snappy style of writing to X–Men.
Now Astonishing X-Men- "Gifted" The Complete Motion Comic is available on DVD!
Comic Con 2010 Interview: Fringe Producers Jeff Pinkner And J. H. Wyman
Fringe Executive Producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman are interviewed in a round table session. They would not divulge spoilers, but are very excited about the new season, and that we are knowledgeable fans ourselves.
Question: What can you tell us about the next season?
Both: Absolutely nothing.
Question: [Laughs; incoherent] Nothing?
Jeff Pinkner: Well, we don’t want to ruin it for you! It’s like Christmas. One opens the presents on Christmas day.
J.H. Wyman: There’s lots of love and a reason they’re all wrapped nice in colored paper and bows. Hopefully there are twenty-two of them
