It’s finally here! After months combing through leaks and being fairly underwhelmed by the mini trailers Disney released, we have our first taste at Doomsday. First, gotta say, I love RDJ’s voice as Doom. One of my biggest issues with every live iteration of Doom was that he never had the right voice- Dr. Doom isn’t a damn American. As for the look, I love it too. As a lifelong super nerd, I did get all fuzzy seeing the X men (rocking the actual comic accurate suits) fighting the Avengers.
Unfortunately, I’m also scared as hell for this movie. Doom had no build up and the sheer scope of the cast and characters alone could easily crush this movie. I love a lot of what I saw and I’m glad Dr. Doom is getting the gravity and nuisance he deserves but I feel like Disney’s desperation might’ve bit them in the ass. Either way, Savior and I will be there to watch it burn. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Leading up to the latest Spiderman movie, I needed to join the hype train again. Friendly Neighborhood takes place in a universe adjacent to the MCU, referencing many key events like the Battle of New York, The Sokovia Accords, and the battle of the airport. The key difference is Peter Parker isn’t mentored by Tony Stark but Norman Osborn as he learns what it means to be a hero.
In the year since it debuted, I’ve heard so many mixed reactions and reviews to this series so I tried extra hard to go in neutral. Overall I had a damn good time. The voice cast does a damn good job, especially Coleman Domingo as Norman Osborn, balancing the warmth of a fatherly mentor, cold hearted business tycoon, while foreshadowing the villain he’ll become. I also love the series’s take on Lonnie Lincoln’s turn to Tombstone. Scorpion was a complete psychotic badass and one of my favorite interpretations. Peter’s overall story is really well done.
One of the best flaws I saw was it’s pseudo ties to the MCU. Most of the characters look and sound like their MCU counterparts while dropping easter eggs left and right but it doesn’t sync. Peter doesn’t participate in Civil War but the outcome is still the same. There is time travel and dimension play in the beginning and end circa Dr. Strange. I’m mixed on the origin reveal for the season finale, but it leads into my biggest problem with the first season overall. There’s a lot of giant plot threads left hanging, major ones that lead to major story arcs that could take multiple seasons to fill if done right. That got me peeved admittedly.
I hate to have to include this section, but its sadly the world we live in. I’ve heard so many reviews bash this show because of the diversity on display. It’s super apparent but feels natural. I come across different people each and every day and seeing all kinds of folks made the show feel more real, because Spiderman is there for everyone. Thats how it should be. So if it bothers you, maybe you need to learn what Spiderman was about in the first place.
In the end, I had a blast with this show and I can’t wait for more in season 2. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Marc Specter is a man of many faces trying to atone for many sins as a former CIA contractor and the Fist of Khonshu. The Midnight Mission was established by Mr. Knight as a refuge for the weak and downtrodden, no matter their past. However, no good deed goes unpunished as someone or something is trying to break the Moon Knight as he tries building his life up again. New and old friends and enemies arise but where is Marc Specter?
This is my first Moon Knight comic and damn it was a fun ride. I loved the dark, supernatural side of Marvel. Moon Knight is a fascinating character to read as well as his multiple, equally cool personalities. The artwork is badass, beautiful, and damn creepy at times. As someone dealing with my own mental health journey, it was cool seeing Mr. Knight attend therapy and deal with the stress of being honest and open, and trying to heal. The side characters were a interesting bunch, ending with the Zodiac reveal as the main bad guy. Hunter’s Moon was a awesome parallel to Knight as the second Fist of Khonshu. In the end, this is a damn good place to start reading Moon Knight and I can’t wait to read more. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
I’ve always loved the sea and the legends surrounding it. That was partly why I feel in love with Aquaman after reading Aquaman: The Trench and that was my favorite aspect of The Fisherman by John Langan. Finding books dedicated to Namor are rough and getting my hands on this particular book wasn’t cheap but it was cool to finally get a full story of Marvel’s King of Atlantis.
Dr. Rupert Stein is a world renowned debunker of myths and legends tasked with a case sure to set him up for life: disproving Atlantis. He starts on expedition amongst the sea weary crew of the Plato to uncover what happened to a Captain named Marlowe who claims to have found the famed city but has disappeared. Tensions rise between Stein and his crew as reason and superstition clash as they warn him of the sea’s power and it’s vengeful protector, Namor. Strange things begin to happen miles under the sea and Stein is plagued by hallucinations of a figure lurking about them. Can the tales be true or are they victims to the darkness of the sea?
First, I got to give Milligan and Ribic credit for making a eerie, atmospheric kind of horror story. This is purely a slow, Lovecraftian, psychological, horror story; there’s no pretense of the greater Marvel universe or superheroes and I really liked that. I hate Stein as a character by design but he is a well done, egotistical, snobbish scholar who looks down on his crew; the ending hit me not because it’s end I wanted but how I think the story would’ve played out. I will say you will disappointed if you pick this book up looking for monsters, action, gore, or a super romp. Namor doesn’t speak in the story, presented as a otherworldly visage like a phantom or ghost. While I enjoyed it as a one and done standalone story, I really can’t recommend it like I would other Marvel Knights titles closer to Inhumans than Doctor Strange: The Flight of Bones. In the end, The Depths is a cool little horror story but definitely isn’t for everyone. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
We all know monsters don’t exist, so tell that to James, the sole survivor of a sleepover gone violently wrong. Something viscously ripped his friends to pieces, leaving James as the town pariah. So many children have disappeared in Archer Bay with little evidence and no reason. A strange blond lady comes to town to help, knowing exactly what’s happening. Erica Slaughter is on the hunt for monsters and nothing will get in her way…
I’ve heard rave reviews for this comic over the past few years. I finally got to snag the first volume and I’m pretty happy I did. The premise is simple but effective. The writing is raw at points and never becomes goofy. Erica is a interesting character you want to know more about; I want to know what the hell is with the stuffed octopus she carries. The book leaves a lot of questions but is written so naturally, I breezed it through effortlessly. The artwork is gruesome and I love we never get a clear visual of the monster itself. I will say it may trigger some people because you do see some bloody stuff involving children, so if that triggers you, that’s basically way I wouldn’t recommend this comic. I’d say this was a damn good read I can’t wait to follow up on. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
So likely due to the backlash over the first trailer for the latest DC show, it was pulled off much of the internet. So now we have round 2 and I think it looks much more promising. There’s a few scenes of Hal Jordan looking pretty badass. The sci fi elements came through a lot more and it’s at least starting to look like a Green Lantern property. I’m not super sold on the suit still, I think it’s still too brown and unappealing for my liking. I can’t say I’m super hyped for this show, but I’m starting to see some promise which is a big step forward. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Holy crap, talk about surprised. I didn’t have much hope for the Clayface solo movie. This teaser admittedly looks incredible. I love that it’s heavily inspired by Feats of Clay, an incredible 2 part episode from Batman: the animated series . The body horror looks fantastic. My hype went through the roof instantly just from this tiny peak. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Everything I’ve seen about BND felt too much. So far we’re getting Punisher, Hulk, Tarantula, Boomerang, Scorpion, Tombstone, the Hand, and maybe Jean Grey (?) plus other cameos and it looks very much like they’re doing the Man-Spider arc. I’ve seen many statements that they wanted to do a more street level spidey movie- cool. The Man-Spider stuff could also be really cool for a movie. Together I can’t help but feel its too much. The movie doesn’t look bad but after Thor: Love and Thunder and Captain America: Brave New World I’m really, really nervous about 4th MCU installments. I’m praying for Spidey. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Ok folks, this is a rough one. I’m a big Green Lantern fan. I want this show to work. Green Lantern is one of the biggest disappointments in superhero movie history. I loved the cameo in Justice League and Guy Gardner was one of my favorite parts of Superman (2025) so I thought we were moving in the right direction. Chandler and Pierre- I think have the aura of Hal Jordan and Stewart and I can totally tell they have good chemistry together. Besides that, I couldn’t guess this was a superhero show, let alone a Green Lantern show. Yeah we get a glimpse of a costume that has almost no green in it and we see a ring and lantern and Jordan fly but everything else looks like a generic small town cop drama. I’m morbidly curious but I’m not getting my hopes too high here sadly. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Holy crap this looks incredible. I didn’t know how I felt at first when this was announced- although I loved Cage voicing Noir in the first Spider verse movie. I always enjoyed Spiderman Noir and just from looks alone, they nailed the seedy, 1930’s detective vibe perfectly. I love that there’s going to be two options to watch- I’m definitely going black and white myself. I can’t wait to see what villains we’re gonna get and who the main bad of the show will be; Noir Vulture is my favorite rendition, a deranged, cannibalistic serial killer for my personal pick. I’m super excited to see it and that alone is worth a month’s Prime subscription. May the gaming god’s bring you glory.
