Review Shooter: Sucker Punch

Directed by Zack Snyder Starring: Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Carla Gugino & Jon Hamm Based on Zack Snyder’s previous directing gigs, walking into Sucker Punch with a sense of pending disappointment is an accurate way to start this film. The movie starts with a great big blow to your expectations and in …

Power Hour: Monster Tale

Monster Tale serves as an interesting swan song to the Nintendo DS, while it probably won’t be remember as one of the last titles, it is a quirky mixture of old school design, and the capabilities of the DS, that truly embodies some of the best of the best on the little handheld. Monster Tale …

Review Shooter: Thor 620.1

Thor62011

Writers: Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning Artist: Mark Brooks I kept seeing this thing being talked about on Twitter. It’s ‘one and done comic book story’. I’ve wondered what that was, because I’ve read Marvel and it’s always ‘1 of 4’ or ‘3 of 5’. But then I read Thor 620.1, and I became aware …

Review Shooter: Daredevil Reborn #3

Writer: Andy Diggle Artist: Davide Gianfelice For a book called “Daredevil Reborn”, this book has really not had a whole lot to do with Matt Murdock atoning for his crimes (or even really dealing with them at all), until the end of this issue. Needless to say, the plot of this mini-series has been a …

Review Shooter: Ultimate Spider-Man #156

Cover art by Bagley

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Mark Bagley This week’s release of Ultimate Spider-Man brings what feels like the real first chapter of the Death of Spider-Man event; however, the way I see this issue is the glorious return of Mark Bagley on art!

Review Shooter: Batman Streets of Gotham #21

Batman: Streets of Gotham #21 cover

Writer: Paul Dini Artist: Dustin Nguyen    Well, this is a bitter sweet issue. As you may already know, DC has canceled this book, and this is the last issue. Dini does a good job wrapping it up, and I do like the ending, but I can’t help but feel he had more stories to …
