Time to update your pull list… cause a new Punisher #1 drops Wednesday! Punisher #1 Writer: Greg Rucka Artist: Marco Checchetto For Frank Castle death comes easy…life is where things gets complicated. As New York […]
by Loran Usually I don’t go for smaller versions of big characters, but sometimes I’ll cave and do it. After the spectacular new Transformer Voyager Megatron, I needed an Optimus at about the same size […]
It’s been pretty crazy these past several weeks, here in the basement of Forbidden Planet NYC. There was the heat wave … and other things to, I suspect. I just remember the heat wave, then […]
By Shannon H Touch the untouchable, break the unbreakable! Row row– Ahem. Suffice it to say that there is a new TENGEN TOPPEN GURREN LAGANN book out this week and I’m super-dooper excited about it! […]
By Unkiedev The nineties comic book boom (and subsequent crash) was based on two factors that are still cavorting through the forest of comics today. One is the Unicorn of variant covers, the other is […]
By Loran Otakon is almost upon us once again, and that of course, means many things: cosplay, buying stuff, and general nerdery… but for me, the most important part is the model contest once again. […]
Well, after a brief break, we are entering into convention season once more! And while the big-name comic-cons may be the talk of the town, we shouldn’t forget the smaller, more indie-friendly venues. This year […]
By Chris Troy It’s a good week to be a nerd, FPNYC faithful! Captain America is kicking ass in theaters (stay after the credits btw, the teaser for the next big Marvel movie is amazing!), […]
Sergio Aragone’s Funnies dropped this week thanks to Bongo! Matt Groening proudly presents an all-new monthly series by the world’s most famous and most honored cartoonist, Sergio Aragonés! Each issue offers an assortment of autobiographical […]
By Shannon H The manga release list this week has been culled back from the usual extravaganza we’ve been getting used to as of late. For me, the most exciting of the new books is […]
By Unkiedev The San Diego Comic Con is happening tonight, tomorrow, and all through the weekend…without you or I in attendance AGAIN. How did we let this happen? It’s like the comic book rapture has […]
By Chris Troy Another Chris-written article, which means you should expect this to be super-hero toy heavy. In my defense, 90% of the articles Loran have written as of late have been Transformers based and […]
By Loran Ah, the Twins. Characters that annoyed people so much they got taken out of the third Transformers film altogether. They never really bugged me, though, and the scenes that were written for them […]
By Loran Ah yes, the “Autobot who loves to break stuff”. Almost every Transformers series had this in some way or another—typically, they were paired with a small sidekick or perhaps a southern accent. I’ve […]
Tonight at Midnight Junk Food Dinner presents Samurai Cop at The Spectacle Theater in Williamsburg! Whoa that’s allot of info for one sentence! Words can’t describe this flick so check this out… Nothing beats some […]
If you got plans this weekend, clear them! Cause Ricky is coming to town. The awesome Nitehawk Cinema strikes again!
Seems like there is more VHS news to be know! Today Mondo Video released their second VHS tape Things. Which I just snagged, and am I’m totally stoked about that! It’s limited to 250 copies so […]
By Shannon H Death and pestilence kept me from the Weekly Planet last week, and it would figure that on such an occasion, the robot manga gods of Japan delivered a book I’ve been clawing after […]
By Cornhusker T. Whiskerbooties (Just kidding, it’s by Unkiedev.) OFTEN times my “job” as a jet setting comic book journalist is a real grind…like when I get a paper cut on a near mint copy […]
By Loran I’ve managed to be pretty responsible with Transformers Movieverse figures until now. Up until about March this year, I bought one version of each on-screen character and left it at that. Well, after […]
