This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don’t Touch It trailer

September 16, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

At the risk of spoilers, John Dies at the End is one of the most surprising books I read last year. It’s surprising because I was sure it would rate somewhere on the dislike to meh when it actually rated on the meh to awesome side of the scale. Frequently flirting with the awesome. There’s […]

Billy the gay male Vampire Slayer, good idea?

September 11, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The battle for attention in the world of comics is intense. Just sit back and watch DC and Marvel go at it and you’ll see what I mean. There will be some who will criticize this Dark Horse for re-writing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer mythology from “only females can be Vampire Slayers” to “only […]

Review of The Long Earth

September 9, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Long Earth is a book by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. It’ll start with an admission. Although I was familiar with Pratchett and the Discworld series I wasn’t familiar with British sci-fi writer Stephen Baxter. Baxter is firmly established, a multi-award winner and responsible for the likes of Xeelee, A Time Odyssey (which was […]

A gun wielding, masked Arab-American? Must be the new Green Lantern

September 4, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The first Green Lantern Alan Scott made headlines by becoming an openly gay male superhero. It looks like the line will continue the fine trend of fair minded thinking as Sector 2814 produces yet another Green Lantern and the rings go to Simon Baz. Yes, Green Lantern rings. Two of them but let’s come back […]
