I’m not at Comic-Con this year. By which I mean I’m not at Comic Con 2011 the international running from 21st July to 24th. Fat chance as that particular Comic Con is in the brave new world. I missed my neighbouring city Comic Con in Glasgow Scotland and won’t make MCM Expo’s Manchester Comic Con […]

CBS’s weird Patrick Stewart Star Trek interview #sttng
Freesat channel CBS Action (meh, okay; it’s on that Murdock channel that has the rights to Game of Thrones in the UK too) have got their hands on Star Trek. I was pointed in the direction of this so-called interview with Patrick Stewart as part of the launch party. Really; I can’t get my head […]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fish-Men
Okay, this is a musical Cthulhu inspired remake of “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas“. There’s clearly a mystery afoot and people with damage to their san totals. I’ve tracked this down to the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society who have been operating in an alternative universe since 1984. That makes a lot of […]

Fright Night trailer looks evil. Looks good.
This Fright Night trailer may disappoint a certain range of fans as it lacks a certain Mr David Tennant. That said; it seems to have everything else going for it. The challenge before you watch this is not to think McLovin versus Vampires. Now I’ve said it – your brain is already moving to hardwire […]
8 bit Star Wars
Here’s a mash up that we should have seen coming. Take one dose of Star Wars. Take one dose of 8-bit era music. Mash. There result is Star Wars as it might have sounded if it was a Nintendo game. Hats off to Proof of Work who kept this up for more than 6 minutes. […]
Judge Dredd: Karl Urban picture
Do you think Karl Urban can cut it as Judge Dredd? I think the Sly Stallone Judge Dredd film was just north of awful. That atom of success came from Stallone as Dredd. He looked the part. He had the chin. That shouldn’t sound shallow. 2000 AD is a visual art form. Judge Dredd is […]
The Design Mechanism is born so RuneQuest can live
The quick background to this post is that British heavyweight Mongoose Publishing split with Issaries who own the RuneQuest franchise. Parts of various projects live on under new names but what of RuneQuest itself? Lawrence Whitaker and Pete Nash; with plenty of Eternal Champion and RuneQuest titles to their name, have created a new company; […]

Here’s the text that comes with it; As a young Dwarf prince, Thorin witnessed the destruction and terror wrought when a great fire-breathing Dragon attacked the Dwarf Kingdom of […]
