Star Wars: The Clone Wars has returned for a 5th season, this show is a prime example of a TV series that started out kind of meh, but grew into something really good and worthy of the Star Wars name and if the rest of season 5 can be as good as the premiere, we are in for a treat.

Revival as the episode is titled continues the story line from the season 4 finale, Darth Maul has returned and now he and his brother Savage Opress are murdering Jedi across the galaxy, now Obi-Wan and his partner Adi Gallia are …

…So, what happened to the August figure you might ask? There wasn’t one… So here we go, the September figures are in and here is what we have.

Dragon Blaster Skeletor is just awesome, he was probably one of my favorites growing up and I had him a few times because I guess I used him in play too much.

Packaged, Dragon Blaster Skeletor looks kind of messy, but I didn’t leave him on the card for long.

Dragon Blaster Skeletor has a great piece of armor that is pretty much like the original 80’s figure. The forearms and lower legs …

I was not excited for Dredd, in fact before going to see it I was mentally preparing myself for another genericsci-fi/action movie with a comic book character slapped onto it and boy was I wrong! Dredd 3-D is easily one of the best films I have seen this year and you would be doing yourself a dis service by not seeing it!

The greatest thing about this film is the very character of Judge Dredd, a character that is sort of a mix between Nolans Batman and Rorschach from Watchmen. He is a man who has completely devoted himself to enforcing …

Coming to Blu-ray on September 25th 2012 and brought to you by SHOUT Factory, is the complete first season of G.I. Joe Renegades, the HUB channel’s awesome cartoon featuring all (or most) of your favorite characters!

G.I. Joe Renegades still features the “Regular Joes” fighting for freedom wherever there’s trouble—just in a different form. In a world controlled falsely by Cobra, five “Regular Joes” travel the country in search of evidence to prove that Cobra is not who they say they are—a family company who is looking out for the best interests of the people.

As the Renegade …

The new Terminator Blu-ray box set comes with five discs including all four Terminator films as well as an extra bonus features disc. All five discs come in a sort of book which folds out to the left and right. This package slides into a sleeve with a cutout “T” that lets the 3D Termintor’s face poke through.

I ended up watching the films backwards for some reason, from most recent to oldest. But really, the story makes so many time jumps anyway, it kinda works.

Disc Breakdown:

1. The Terminator – The first installment of the Terminator films looks decent. …

Yes I’m back for another review and this time its off the first volume of Winter Soldier by Ed Brubaker and Butch Guice.  Now Brubaker is single handedly the man that made me love Captain America.  His work on the character has been interesting but none of it would be possible if not for Bucky Barnes AKA Winter Soldier AKA my new favorite Marvel character.

Now I want to get the bad out of the way first so I can focus on the stuff that really worked.  While I did read the original Winter Soldier story by Brubaker, I have NOT …

Coming soon to DVD is Volume One of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. Featuring 13 episodes of the live action series on two disks and brought to you by SHOUT Factory.

Ninja Turtles is a very weird show; made by Saban who brought us Power Rangers. I’d go on to say that it’s cheesy and such, but I think that is obvious just by the DVD box art.

Ninja Turtles is filmed in Canada and features a vast selection of Canadian voice actors who are in the cast of many cartoons and the voices are very recognizable. The characters–in …

As some of you know from my short lived weekly comic review articles, I was not a fan of the Spider-Man books at the time and for the most part im still not!

However back in the ancient days of November 2011, I heard about a new ongoing series featuring Spider-Man teaming up with various other super heroes.

Now I’m still strongly against the Avengers constantly showing up in Amazing Spider-Man when a tittle made specifically for team ups with them exists, but I put my prejudice aside and got into Avenging Spider-Man and I still dont regret it (mostly).

This …
