I saw a picture of Sylvester McCoy on the cover of the Doctor Who magazine yesterday. Age suits him, as do his sideburns. For some reason, by this morning, his image had reminded me of adventures past, probably because I’ve been reading Cubicle 7’s Eighth Doctor Sourcebook. While previous Sourcebooks have served up descriptions of […]

For chaos and love: A review of Elric Stormbringer
Elric Stormbrnger is the second hardcover graphic novel in the remastered and entirely masterful series from Michael Moorcock. I really enjoyed the first – Elric: The Ruby Throne – and Stormbringer picks up straight away. We’ve an Emperor of a powerful (but not as powerful as they once were) and chaos worshiping set of warriors […]

Bethesda Softworks’ Doom trailer is just a heartbeat or two long. That’s still probably enough time to die in the hands of this shotgun wielding Revenant. The game has had some delays, is no longer known as Doom 4 but is expected out for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 some time in the […]

Competition: Arrow – Heroes and Villains
Are you a fan of the Arrow TV show? Set in Starling City it has Arrow, played by Stephen Amell, doing his best to keep the very rough baddies off the street. He’s helped by Arsenal, the Black Canary and even the Atom at times. Arrow – Heroes and Villains is a companion book to […]
Impressive reconstruction of Star Wars at Madame Tussauds
I’ve never yet been to a Madame Tussauds. There’s not one locally but I think the real challenge is getting over the idea of queuing for so long just to see some waxworks. It doesn’t seem worth it. That’s until a video like this comes along and shows me how very real the wax models […]

The Dorkly gang have it right. Why isn’t Daredevil called Batman? Sure, it might not be entirely true that bats are blind but maybe the same could be said for Daredevil and his powers? It’s just a shame there isn’t another hero around that could make better use of the name.
