By Steven Seggerman When they announced Dragon Quest Builders 2 I was so excited that when it finally released in Japan I bought it, regardless of what language it was in. I wanted this game. If you haven’t had a chance to check out DQB1, you really should. It’s on almost every platform out there, so you don’t have an […]

By Nolan P. Smith I am often caught by surprise when diving into a new Image Comics series. With Little Bird, I thought it would be worth checking out solely by the cover art. I didn’t read the premise, didn’t research anything on it. What I got is a tale full of high octane action, a girl struggling to survive […]

Fans of the Transformers have been asking these questions for years. There have been several different explanations to these questions, and they have all left fans more confused. Enter IDW’s […]
By Steven Seggerman Some games are no-holds-barred, adrenaline-filled thrill rides full of action and danger, and then there are games like Yonder. It has none of that; in fact, there is no combat whatsoever. At first, I found that mind-blowing, but after sinking a lot of time into it, I realized that it doesn’t need any of that stuff. The […]
By Nolan P. Smith It is easily one of the most anticipated movies of 2019. The first female lead superhero movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The tipping point as we head towards Avengers: End Game. Captain Marvel is here, but does the film shine bright like it’s comic book counterpart, or is it more of a falling star than […]
By Nolan P. Smith I haven’t looked forward to a series this much in quite some time. When I saw the solicits for Ronin Island from Boom! Studios, I knew I had to add it to my pull list. A story set in 19th century Japan, about Ronin, by Greg Pak? I am all in. But now that the first […]

By Steven Seggerman Some time ago I got into Anthem’s VIP beta, and like many of you, I was worried about the future of this game. To say that “I got into” the beta is referring to the times that it worked. When I got the chance to fly around It was a fantastic thrill ride, but most of the […]

A man cursed with the ability not to die; he has wandered the Earth for thousands of years, protecting those in need and always protecting the Geomancer, whomever it might be. He has fought deadly threats from around the […]
By Daniel Schwartz To be honest, I did not know what to expect when I read the first few issues of this series. This is the first Mad Cave Studios title that I have read. I usually review more well-known properties such as Doctor Who and Transformers. I thought I would give this new publisher and new series a try. […]
By Steven Seggerman If you never got the chance to play the original Toe Jam and Earl on the Sega Genesis, way back in 1991, don’t worry because most didn’t. It was an odd looking game whose success has always been mixed. That’s not to say it didn’t gain a cult following. For a time it was even one of […]

By Amie Macias “Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered…” There isn’t a woman around who hasn’t seen Labyrinth, who can’t recite that passage from memory – or truthfully, any fan of the cult classic that won’t recite back with you the lyrics of Magic Dance.

By Steven Seggerman Tyr: Chains of Valhalla is a side-scrolling shooter much like that of Mega Man, except in all the worst ways possible. I want to get this out of the way now; I hated this game. I hated just about everything in regards to this game. If you are a fan of fun, don’t pick this up. I […]

By Nolan P. Smith When it comes to original comics in the past decade or so, you cannot make a list without including The Umbrella Academy from Dark Horse Comics.

By Nolan P. Smith Death isn’t always the end, as years of comic books, movies, novels and more have led us to believe. For Kathrine Sartori, death didn’t mean death; it meant something far more exciting and puzzling: that’s the premise for Dark Horse Comics latest Berger Books release, The Girl in the Bay. From comic book legend J.M. DeMatteis […]
By Steven Seggerman These days side-scrolling, pixel art, hack and slash games are a dime a dozen. To stand out from the crowd, your game needs something genuinely unique. It needs to be beautiful; it needs heart, it needs a robust combat system and a world that, while 2D, feels like it has real depth. This game has all of […]

He once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Justice League […]
