This has been doing the rounds for a while but given that X-Men First Class is drawer nearer, it does not harm to re-surface it here. It helps to pause on the legend in the top right as that spells out quirky “family tree” relationships like “clone”. For example, x-23 is a clone of Wolverine, […]

Neil Gaiman no longer fears internet pirates

Interactive “The Warlock of Firetop Mountain” available for Kindle
I’m not sure I’ve ever successfully managed to finish The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. I always get lost in the bloomin’ maze of wandering monsters and hidden doors. It becomes a game of attrition then; my finite health and patience against an apparent endless stream of skeletons, trolls and giant rats. If only there was […]
Whedon’s Dollhouse to continue
I don’t mind admitting it; I rather liked Dollhouse. It got better and better (okay; after a weak start). It was best after we knew it had been cancelled. Dark Horse have stepped in and now we can expect two more doses of Dollhouse in comic form. The first dose comes in the one-shot “Dollhouse: […]

This is not the case of me judging a book by the cover – that features the character Abby Maitland, played by the actress Hannah Spearrit and would therefore rate very highly – but me worrying too much about the troubled Primeval TV […]
IGN splashes the cash with UK Kapow! Comic Con sponsorship
Comics seem to be in robust health this year. Still plenty of films either taking their inspiration from comic books or presenting themselves as simple adaptations. This year will also be the first time Comic Con has been held in the UK. It’ll be called Kapow! Comic Con. The likes of Jonathan Ross and Frankie […]
Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition and the cute gamer girl advert shock
Annie Leung from the United States of America is in the record books. In particular, she’ll be in the 2011 edition of Guinness World Records – Gamer’s Edition. I had no idea there was such a book. I do now. Guinness has produced a video that introduces Annie Leung and her Guitar Hero III talent. […]
