Everyone knows the characters of Star Wars, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. But there is an entire universe of characters that not many people know about. In honor of the seventh Star Wars movie announcing its cast list and that the expanded universe will not be cannon anymore, I present seven…
In a historic and unprecedented turn of events, the CW passed up on an opportunity to order a soapy drama about sexy monsters, and the blame or thanks (depending on your opinion of the backdoor pilot), rests largely on the fans. The CW ordered several new series, including iZombie, a story about a zombie private…
Children of all ages will have, at some point, come into contact with The Moomins, whether it’s because they read the original series of books and comic strips, or sat down and enjoyed the delights of the televised version that broadcast in the late 1980s, early 1990s. Furthermore, even if you weren’t a child of…
Looks like Marvel fans will have more than “Captain America: The Winter Solider“ to tide them over until “Avengers 2: Age of Ultron” hits theaters next year. Agent Carter Series Announced Marvel recently announced that special agent Peggy Carter, played by Hayley Atwell, will be leading her own television series on ABC. The series will appropriately be…
Anyone who is planning on going into the game industry must not underestimate the mythic structure, or the value of literature. The dated works that you study in English classes are being read decades or perhaps centuries later because they capture the ideas of our culture, and they demonstrate the invaluable principles of storytelling. Here…
** Ser Tom Herles, writer of recaps, is away across the Narrow Sea for this week’s recap. I, Lady Faith, wielder of keyboards, breaker of eyeglasses, the sunburnt, first of my name, will be filling in for him for this particular episode! Also, Spoilers Ahead!** Wow. There, I said it so everyone can pick…
It seems like only yesterday we were being introduced to the likes of the self-centered Jeff Winger, the overachieving Annie Edison, the overbearing Shirley Bennett, the racist Pierce Hawthorne, the childish Troy Barnes, and the meta-fictional Abed Nadir. It seems so recent in our collective memory that we were first welcomed by the statue of…
Most TV shows will fade into the obscurity of small screen history, only to be occasionally remembered with a nostalgic comment on how they were a “pretty good show” or “is that the show where (insert name here) played (insert description here)?” But others have that magical something that causes normal people to join the…
In a continuing trend where the “Game of Thrones” powers that be name their episodes after minor scenes that have little to do with the memorable moments; we get “First of His Name” named after the crowing of King Tommen Baratheon. (Are we still pretending he’s a Baratheon? Doesn’t everyone already know that he’s not?)…
When it was announced in 2010 that Spiderman was getting a reboot, I was as skeptical as you. If we reboot a franchise after only five years, how can we hope for new stories, new characters, or anything new at all? It didn’t help that the reboot was a corporate mandate from Sony over a…
Superhero movies are becoming more and more ingrained in our culture. They are some of the most profitable movies we have and they have quickly surpassed every other kind of blockbuster in sheer number. They have also changed a great deal since the Batman Movie with bat shark repellant. Some have been dark and gritty…
If you could take any ability from the X-Men, who’s would you take? Whatever you said is wrong. The correct answer is- You’d take Cable’s ability to travel through time, so that you could read the comic where he and Deadpool first meet. You’d also spend some time in the 90’s, discovering Nirvana before all…
Whoa….Whoa, just….whoa…. In the words of Ron Burgundy “That escalated quickly.” If there’s one thing I love to see more than Jackson Winters being punched in the face, it’s seeing him say something witty to someone who will punch him in the face. Issue 8 has enough of both. (Okay, technically no ‘punching’, but he…
Now I’m not going to say that 2014 hasn’t provided any good movies yet. In fact, there are quite a few from all different genres that have delivered. But if we’re being honest with ourselves, January through April was just a very large appetizer to the main course that is summertime at the movies. From…
Ahahahahaaaaa….This issue of Ghosted is by far the most hilarious. I mean, not in the funny ha-ha way of Louis CK. But at the same time, I chuckled a few times because Jackson Winters is a jerk and I like that the debt he owes the Universe is being paid back in installments. Ghosted #7:…
