Behold–Marcus’ review of the post-Apocalyptic adventure game, Darksiders.
“This is the way the world ends; Not with a bang but a whimper.” T.S. Eliot said that. He was wrong.
As anyone who’s played Darksiders (inaugural offering from new kids on the block Vigil Games) knows, it ends with a blitzkrieg of flaming meteors and warring angels and demons. And we get front row seats, watching the carnage unfold through the eyes of War (of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse fame), who is understandably irked at being blamed for prematurely triggering Judgement Day. This glorious reign of destruction is soon …read more

That title should really read, ‘MTV is Bored and Wants to Rape One of My Favorite Films.’ Or, would you settle for ‘Does MTV Really Play Music Anymore?’ I think they all apply.
MTV is currently scheming ways to turn George A. Romero’s classic zombie flick, Dawn of the Dead, into a TV series. There are no other details at this time but isn’t this enough to make you want to Hulk smash everything in sight? MTV has stated that they’re interested in producing more things horror but are they doing it well? I didn’t see My Psycho Sweet 16 but …read more

Zombie Roomie is a zom-com webcomic about John, an average Joe who needed to split the rent with someone and got more than he bargained for when George, a zombie, became his roommate. However, George isn’t your stereotypical zombie. He hates the way the living dead are portrayed in the media and is an educated, well spoken dude who has a bit of an elitist, techie personality.
Zombie Roomie’s creator, John Wigger, admits to being new to webcomics but has been a lifelong comic book fan as well as an artist. He also states he wants to keep things “tasteful” which …read more

You know a comic is good when issue #1 sells out at the distributor and that’s exactly what FVZA did.

Written by David Hine (Civil War: X-Men, Spider-Man Noir, Arkham Asylum) and featuring the art of Roy Allan Martinez and Wayne Nichols, FVZA is being put out by Radical Publishing and is being packaged as their new “Bigger Books! Bigger Value!” format. Each issue of FVZA contains more than 60 pages for only $4.99. That’s more than two issues worth of story and art. DEAL.
Based on the popular FVZA.org website, created by Richard S. Dargan, FVZA: Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency chronicles …read more

The Cute Little Dead Girl, otherwise known as Lenore, is the pet project of artist (and Skinny Puppy fan, droool!) Roman Dirge. Though Lenore started as a comic for Xenophobe Magazine, she was also animated for 25 spooky filled episodes on Sony’s ScreenBlast. You can catch up with the episodes here (scroll down).
Having enjoyed Dirge’s deadpan, surreal characters for some time now, I was excited to have in my hot little hand a hardcover copy of Roman Dirge’s Lenore: Noogies from my BFF, Titan Books. Why you might ask? Because everything is better in hardcover and because this is an …read more
