By Anthony "LibrariaNPC" DeMinico, 29 May 2019 In my opinion, RPGs based around heroes are difficult to get right. Sometimes a game will come out tied to a specific comic line or one specific character, but it will fail for anything beyond it. Other times, it either becomes unplayably boring (as the scales are just... Continue Reading →
The Next Guardian of the Galaxy Should Be…
WARNING - This article will contain spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War. You have been warned. By the time Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 rolls around, the Guardians may find themselves short-handed.

The Marvel Formula: What It is and Why It Works
By Michael Stoll 28 February 2018 Over the past decade or so, Marvel has honed their ability to make a blockbuster like no other company. As it stands, it is the highest grossing film franchise of all time, raking in 13.5 billion dollars worldwide in just 9 years. Some have attributed this to Marvel’s successful... Continue Reading →
Welcome to the Guardians of the Freakin’ Galaxy
Last week, I was lucky enough to find the time to catch Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2. I went in with pretty high expectations, just as I am sure many fans of the first film (and many fans of Marvel's foray into films as of late) also did. So how did the film stand... Continue Reading →
Strange Blood In The Aether

I mean, the last volume ended with magic as we know it being exterminated from the world, and the last vestiges of it trapped in items (many of which were weakened and/or... Continue Reading →
Top Line/Bottom Line: Doctor Strange
By Michael Stoll 19 November 2016 Top Line: Doctor Strange offers a fun spectacle of CGI wonder and provides the Marvel Cinematic Universe with another strong entry, but fails to immerse the audience fully in the world of magic. 3/5. Doctor Strange is the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) following 13 films,... Continue Reading →
Doctor Strange – Way Too Weird? A Comic Review
I'll be honest: I never really got into Doctor Strange before. My primary experiences with the character were always from other comic lines and guest appearances, and he always came off as a superbly powerful character that was sidelined for whatever reason. The last time I saw him make appearances in comics were in the... Continue Reading →
Freemium Rush: Killing Time With “Free” Games
It's really hard to properly game when you're trying to move. Boxed up gaming systems don't make the process easier, and the lack of free time to really dive into a game makes the hobby a tough thing to take part of. As a way to help pass the time recently as I've been packing... Continue Reading →
A Not-So Civil War
It's a rare day I speak highly of a crossover event in the comic industry. When I pick up a comic, I do so with the hope of just reading the one character's/team's (mis)adventures and going on my merry way. Team-ups are fun, of course, and have gotten me into other comic lines (and often... Continue Reading →
