Zombie Vikings Teaser Trailer Zombies are practically everywhere these days…except maybe your breakfast cereal, but I guarantee that’s just because no one’s figured out how to spin a kid-friendly, maggot-infested mascot (yet). Despite the overpopulation of zombies in today’s pop culture, there are very few historical-themed zombies. Luckily, Zombie Vikings—a four-player co-op hackventure—from Zoink games […]

Paper Cuts #8: Weekly Comic Pull List
by Rondal 3 Comments
We’re going to totally ignore the fact that my last Paper Cuts entry was over a month ago because… well, bacon. No, not Kevin Bacon. The kind of bacon that you eat… okay, so I guess “technically” you could eat Kevin Bacon but that brings up all sorts of legal issues and really I don’t […]

Things get a little batty this week, with not one but two new Batman book and one guy who thinks he’s a Silver Age dinosaur detective but wishes he was Batman. On the upside he does get to battle an evil army of Frankensteins… so there’s that.

Halloween seems to bring out the better aspects of the less desirable things… the campy, the hokey, the “so bad it’s good,” they just seem to thrive in the atmosphere of this frightfully fun holiday. Take, for instance, the derelict four-color relic where pulled for this week’s Lost in the Longbox feature: Superman & Batman […]

Gotham: “The Balloonman” Review
by Rondal 0 Comments
Things kick off this week with Oswald Cobblepot’s return to Gotham. Stepping off a bus to scenes of corruption and crime on every street corner, the future crime boss simply utters a single word: “Home.” This opening quickly segues into the introduction of a breaking news story on Ronald Danzer, a Bernie Madoff-type financier accused […]
