Superhero Week: Opinion poll of 1000 Brits sees Marvel thrash DC Comics

July 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you asked 1,000 members of the British public some superhero and comic book questions how would they do? We’re not asking them to get superhero trivia right; we’re asking non-geeks about their favourite superheroes, villains, gadgets and movies. This is exactly what the games team at Ladbrokes did. It’s PR fuel for them. It’s […]

Sure, it would be easy to hint at a few and tease just how smart Deadbeat can be but I don’t want to risk taking […]

This remarkable custom Mister Negative statue is on sale at ebay with a current bid of just $26. That, of course, will change. Mister Negative is an interesting Marvel supervillain.

Wizards without Coats: Succubus

June 26, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Some cheeky humour from V Shane here… or is it? Is our brave, Succubus slaying fighter, saying his wife is such a nag that he was scared out of the demon’s tempting ways? Or could he love his wife so much that the Succubus had no effect on him?
