Resident Evil: Retribution

Posted on by

If my life depended upon the right answer, I might be able to guess how many Resident Evil movies have been made.  Of course it would be a guess.  And I’d only do it to save my life.

The Resident Evil movies (however many there may be) are not great films by any stretch of the imagination.  I will confess, however, that I think I’ve seen them all.  At least the ones that have made their way to the SYFY channel. 

I watch them, enjoy them at the time of viewing and then pretty much forget the details.  That’s because, at least as best as I can remember, they’re all pretty much about Milla Jovovich fighting zombies and other creatures created by the evil Umbrella Corporation.  Which is a fun way to spend a late night on the weekend when there’s nothing else on. 

Guess what?  There’s a new Resident Evil movie coming out.  It’s called Resident Evil: Retribution and here’s the trailer.  I wish I could tell you where this new movie fits in to the Resident Evil timeline, but it’d only be a guess.


Mike Zeck @ Heroes Con!

Posted on by

My buddy, Mike Zeck stopped going to comic conventions years ago.  So it was a huge surprise when Mike announced that he will be at Heroes Con next weekend as part of their 30th anniversary celebration. 

Mike will join a panel featuring the guests of the first Heroes Con, and he’ll also be set up signing autographs, selling his sketchbook as well as the crime graphic novel, Damned, that he did with Steven Grant [writer], Denis Rodier [inker] and Kurt Goldzung [colorist].  If you enjoy crime comics, I highly recommend you give Damned a look.  Mike’s sketchbook is also well worth the price of admission.

If you’ve never met Mike Zeck and want to, plan to swing by and see him at Heroes next weekend.  Odds are if you miss him, your next shot will be at Heroes’ 50th anniversary celebration.


Car of Choice for the Zombie Apocalypse

Posted on by

I’ve been a Hyundai fan for over twenty years.  I currently drive a XG350, which is affectionately called the Jack Carter mobile by some of my friends.  Both of my sons drive Hyundais which have been passed down to them.  

Hyundais are great cars which get wonderful gas mileage and seldom need repairs.  Little did I know that Hyundai would be the car company of choice should there be a zombie apocalypse!

Sean Gordon Murphy’s Punk Rock Jesus

Posted on by

Even though I’m a big fan of Sean Gordon Murphy, I was a bit put off by the title of his up-coming five issue mini series, Punk Rock Jesus.  However, the more I read about Punk Rock Jesus, the more I thought I’d like it.  Now, I’m fully on board.

CBR.com has an interview with Sean where he talks about Punk Rock Jesus and a whole lot more.  Perhaps, if you aren’t already, after reading the interview, you’ll be booking passage as well. 


Walt Simonson Goes Solo in The Judas Coin

Posted on by

Walt Simonson is a comic book all-star.  Simonson is best known for his work on Marvel’s Thor and DC’s Manhunter, [although his teaming with Archie Goodwin for a graphic novel adaptation of Alien is my personal favorite]. 

Walt Simonson is back with a graphic novel called The Judas Coin which spans 1600 years in the DC universe and features a variety of characters including Batman, Two Face, Bat Lash and others.  You can learn more about it here, but the fact that Walt Simonson drew it, is probably all most folks need to know to add it to their pull list.

Thanks and a big “heads you win” to CBR.com.


It’s Good to be King

Normally one would think that it’s good to be king, but the way Walter White’s luck runs, my guess it will be: “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” 

If you’re not watching Breaking Bad on AMC, you’re missing out on one of the best shows currently airing.
