    Well, episode 2 of The Wolf Among Us is just as good as the first one was, and I loved the fuck out of that. This game just looks so beautiful on iPad – my platform of choice for all Telltale games – and I’m still really digging the story and the characters. As big…

    The main reason I started this Tumblr blog about a year ago was because I wanted to keep track of the media I consume, and also to make it easier to refer to what I enjoyed the most throughout the year, when it comes to writing up my “favorite media of the year” post, that…

  • The Walking Dead

    I have a love-hate relationship with The Walking Dead TV series. At times I like it, at times I think it’s boring as shit. But I keep coming back – probably due to my continued love of the comics and the Telltale game – and in the end I’m glad I do. This past weekend…

    I wasn’t particularly interested in checking out this show when it first started, thinking it was just cheesy, but a friend of mine kept saying how good it was, and so I finally decided to dig into the first season, and I must say, I’m having a lot of fun watching it so far. I’m…

  • Man of Steel

    It may be because I came in with pretty low expectations – considering that so many of my friends appear to not like this movie – but I ended up rather enjoying this. As big a comic geek as I am, I have never liked Superman, but I thought this was a pretty good take…

  • Trillium

    There really is a resurgence with the Vertigo imprint (or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention), and after The Wake, now I’m really loving the new series by Jeff Lemire, Trillium. I’m a huge fan of Lemire’s work, from his initial indie output, to the fantastic Sweet Tooth (his last Vertigo series), and so it’s…

  • The Wake

    Another new comic series I’ve been enjoying of late is The Wake, from the Vertigo imprint (and I love that there seems to be a bit of a Vertigo resurgence right now). There are 3 issues out so far (out of 10), and I’m digging the slow and mysterious reveal of what the hell it…

  • Lazarus

    ,

    My new favorite comic right now is Lazarus, a recently launched series (2 issues out so far) that takes place in a alternate Earth where families are running the world, instead of governments. The world building is awesome, and the story by Greg Rucka is rather good so far – the art is by Michael…
