Druids and helicopters: A review of SEAL Team 666 – Reign of Evil
Reign of Evil is the third in the SEAL Team 666 series and follows on Age of Blood. It starts off with the death of one of the key characters from the previous two books. You’ll be wondering whether this is a comic book bluff death or the real thing for a while. In Reign […]
Original chaos: Mega Mecha Soldier of Karakuri Castle review
The Mega Mecha Soldier of Karakuri Castle is the 7th One Piece movie and I watched it as part of the 2014 One Piece: Movie Collection 3. My view of One Piece is that the movies tend to be better than the episodes. It’s a high action anime in which every character is bigger than […]
Box of tricks: A review of Dungeon Master’s Guide
Dungeon Master’s Guide is the third core book in the new Dungeons & Dragons. It follows the Player’s Handbook and the Monster Manual. Wizards of the Coast’s staggered release schedule for this edition of D&D made sense, helped keep the quality up but I sense some D&D 5e fans will be saying “At last!” now […]
Zombies in Space: A review of Containment
Eric Red, the screenwriter (The Hitcher, Near Dark) and author, first had his zombies in space graphic novel published by IDW back in 2005. It’s been out of print for a while but is now coming out of cryosleep and is now available in both paper and digital again. How do you approach a comic […]
Furry fun: Cogs & Claws
I wonder if it’s wrong to think “furry” whenever I encounter an anthropomorphic story? That’s what I did when I started to read Jimmy Pearson’s (author) and Brian Bennett’s (illustrator). There’s nothing quite like tackling your “furry assumptions” than the first couple of panels showing a fish swim into a robotic unit which swiftly becomes […]
Bastion is Full of Lies: A Review of Into The Odd
The business of roleplaying can be a tough sell to people who have been exposed to the experience previously in an uncontrolled or raw form. Speaking from experience, I have seen people enthused by the prospect turned sour when they saw the size of the average core rule book. The Player Handbook for 4th Edition […]
The children of Fight Club: A review of Burnt Tongues
Chuck Palahniuk is the transgressive author of Fight Club. Transgressive fiction looks to take an unique voice to the sort of story others might not consider safe to write about. Dennis Widmyer and Richard Thomas collected a host of stories written in Palahniuk’s style by students of the burnt tongue disciple. Together with Chuck they […]

Jules Verne mashup: A review of Master of the World
Master of the World aired first back in 1961. It’s even older than I am and features remarkably young Charles Bronson and a physically imposing Vincent Price. The film is based on the 1886 sci-fi novel “Robur the Conqueror” and the 1904 “Master of the World”. I’ve read neither; but as I watched Master of […]
