Artist Sacha Goldberger reimagines fanboy heroes as Elizabethan citizens and the result is astounding

This is an interesting take on the re-imagined.  Artist Sacha Goldberger brings the Shakespearean vibe to our most beloved heroes of Star Wars, Marvel and DC lore and the result is breathtaking!!! You’ll notice that most of these are the actual characters from the films/movies. How it was done so seamlessly is beyond me, butContinue reading “Artist Sacha Goldberger reimagines fanboy heroes as Elizabethan citizens and the result is astounding”

MITNG speaks with Lightning Dog creator Nathan Smith

I had the pleasure of meeting Nathan Smith at this years Phoenix Comic Con. Seated humbly at his booth, he had that look. You know the one that reads “give my comic book a shot”? The decision to stop wasn’t a hard one, seeing as how he was easy to talk to and his artContinue reading “MITNG speaks with Lightning Dog creator Nathan Smith”

The Guardians of the Galaxy is what kids, thirty years from now, will be talking about

First things first…who the fuck is James Gunn and where the hell has this director been all this time? Oh yeah, he’s been honing his craft like a true auteur, laying back and learning what’s most important “writing a good screenplay”.  In the early 2000’s James wrote films like Tromeo and Juliet, Scooby Doo, ScoobyContinue reading “The Guardians of the Galaxy is what kids, thirty years from now, will be talking about”

Trailer for MAD MAX:FURY ROAD arrives and Hard is an understatement

Probably the one reboot I’m excited about happening is Mad Max. As a child, growing up in the eighties, I never quite got Mad Max or all the other films that came behind it. It had that foreign gloss, as did the music videos from that side of the world, that although I loved, neverContinue reading “Trailer for MAD MAX:FURY ROAD arrives and Hard is an understatement”

The Shadow Hero Volume One brings dignity to a forgotten archetype

At first glance, The Shadow Hero a.k.a The Green Turtle, isn’t your typical hero. He’s a vestige of an ignorant generation, one whose idea of a hero, never went beyond the blonde hair and blue eyes. The story of how this shopkeepers son became China Towns “Dark Knight” in the 1940’s, isn’t the amazing partContinue reading “The Shadow Hero Volume One brings dignity to a forgotten archetype”

BOOM! STUDIOS unveils first 6 pages of the new Big Trouble in Little China comic book

And I just watch this film for the 100th time only two days ago. For those that don’t know Big Trouble….it is an eighties cult classic, that has been gaining steam ever since it’s lack-lustre performance at the box office, back in 1986. Directed by John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) this Kung Fu fantasy paidContinue reading “BOOM! STUDIOS unveils first 6 pages of the new Big Trouble in Little China comic book”

Dark Horses Sledge Hammer 44 Volume 1 is legendary

From it’s inception, this story off archaic power, rebirth and of course Nazi’s, was destined for greatness and it is! What started as a labor of love for the Eisner Award winning artist John Powers Severin (December 26, 1921 – February 12, 2012) has come to fruition with the help of the uber-talented writers Mike MignolaContinue reading “Dark Horses Sledge Hammer 44 Volume 1 is legendary”
