With the release of Superman Earth One Volume Two just under a week away, I thought it the appropriate time to revisit the first in the DC: Earth One line and see how it stacks up a year later. Initially I was not a fan of this book, the art style wasn’t really my cup of tea and Clark came off as more whinny than lost or confused, oh how stupid I was.

The main theme of this book is, what do you want to do with your life? Its something all of us have to face in adulthood and the …

The subscription for Voltron Classics is finally over and now the Defender of the Universe is complete. This new Voltron (called Go-Lion in Japan) is a huge 23” tall and larger than life! Although each lion is a bit cheap in quality, paint application, lop-sided stickers and legs that won’t stay locked in place; the lions are also huge with opening cockpits for the 3 ¾ inch figures to sit inside and are amazing in a positive way.

In a line that was riddled with complaints from the time of the subscription drive, the end result for those who were lucky …

Continuing off of the Green and Yellow Lions from the Club Lion Force, Voltron Classics collection, are the Red and Blue Lions!

Lance is the hot shot pilot of the Red Lion, the first piece sent on the subscription. Named Isamu ‘Moody’ Kurogane in the original Go-Lion, Lance seems to have a hissy fit when he doesn’t get his way—who could blame him, after all, he has to be under Keith when he truly is the best—or so he thinks…
Lance comes in a great collector’s box with awesome Anime art on the front and a window to show the figure …

Finally, the Black Lion has come after too many months of waiting! If the huge box was any indication of how big this thing was, then opening it was a shock to the system! Complete with Pilot Keith, the leader of the Voltron Force, this final selection is the icing on the cake!

Keith also known as Akira ‘Chief’ Kogane in the original Anime Go-Lion, was a true heroic character. Leading his team in battle against giant monsters and Prince Lotor—and guys from other shows…ugh…WHY!!! Anyhow…the butchered Go-Lion wasn’t so censored in Voltron that Keith couldn’t show his bravery against the …

Ever since the end of the 10 season long Smallville, the CW has been working ever since to create a new show that can replicate its success while still being a great show in its own right.

 Arrow should not have worked on any level, it was on the CW (the channel that I used to dread because of the Vampire Diaries and the god awful Smallville) and it was a live action super hero TV series, and yet despite everything against it, based solely on the pilot, Arrow is one of the best shows on the air and one you …

The first ever cross over between 616 and Ultimate Marvel was something truly to be excited for, with the creative team of Brian Michael Bendis, the man who has given us over a decade of great Spider-Man stories and Sara Pichelli, one of the best artists working at Marvel, we get one of the better Spider-Man stories in recent memory.

The plot itself is very simple, Ultimate Mysterio travels to 616 so he can kill Peter Parker, his plan backfires as 616 Peter is sent into the Ultimate universe and there as I stated before, encounters the new Peter Parker Miles …

Coming to DVD on October 16th 2012 is Big Bad Beetleborgs. A Saban series from the 90’s from SHOUT! Factory that takes older Japanese footage and mixes it with original footage from the 90’s series.

VERY cheesy and aimed at children with physical slap-stick comedy (which can be funny) and the stiff action that resembles Power Rangers and VR Troopers. Beetleborgs is filmed in such a way that it appears to be a living comic book by having impact effects pop onto the screen during battle as they did in the Batman series of the 1960’s (biff, bam pow)!…
