Shadow of the Colossus

By Aaron Robinson
24 July 2008 — If there was ever an idea that's really resonated with me, it's putting a realistic spin on platforming.

A Casual TV Fan's Guide Special: The Great Marvel TV Implosion, or The Mediocre Marvel Marching Society

It was in this atmosphere that Universal Television made a deal with Marvel, licensing several characters to turn into potential TV series.

The King and I: Jimmy Olsen Must Tie-Dye!

By Desmond Reddick
16 July 2008 — The Silver Age itself was a wild time. Most will say that the introduction of Barry Allen as the Flash in 1956 is the demarcation, as it was the first time a Golden Age character had been reimagined in the DC Universe. But it is the beginning of the Bronze Age that is the real subject of debate. With the resurgence of horror books, the creation of more violent characters and stories of drugs and death in superhero comics, there are many pivotal moments that can be pointed to as the genesis of the Bronze Age. But for me, there is only one answer: Jack Kirby's return to DC Comics.
