December snuck up on us pretty quickly this year it seems, so this week, I will be presenting the first part of my holiday gift guide. The focus this week will be on Marvel toys […]
Here’s the breakdown for this year’s big in-store Black Friday Sale at Forbidden Planet NYC: Justin, who put together the art above, basically copied what I wrote on the blog last year into this ad, […]
Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur has been one of Marvel Comics’ brightest spots throughout it’s two year run. There’s an argument to be made that the adventures of Lunella Lafayette and her tyrannosaurus rex bestie has […]
Frank Castle is having a helluva November in 2017. This week, he’s going to take front and center on small screens in every household with a Netflix account. That’s right, The Punisher’s solo television series […]
Since the start of “Dream of Me” in Batman #33, Tom King and artist Joelle Jones have kicked the Caped Crusader into another gear. Batman has always been a dark character-driven saga. And now they’re […]
Ninjak is a badass character! A master spy with the cool tech and ingenuity of Batman mixed with the cavalier spyfare of James Bond, and he looks like a cooler Iron Fist. Plus, not as […]
Okay, I’m cheating. I admit this because I cannot lie to you, dear readers. The first part of Batman: The Dark Prince Charming came out last week. But I decided to write about Black Vol.1 instead […]
Arguably the most prolific creator in the comics industry today is at it again. Jeff Lemire, in an ambitious and, reportedly, very personal project, spins this yarn about a family from the small factory town […]
Over the weekend I attended my second Heroes and Villains Convention which mainly features guests from the CW DC TV series, though they also include Gotham and Agents of SHIELD castmembers with the occasional DC […]

The 2017 Eisner Awards were presented at San Diego Comic-Con Friday night and Sonny Liew was a big winner, taking the honors for Best Writer/Artist, Best US Edition of International Material and Best Publication Design […]
Mondo’s Marvel character enamel pins have arrived at Forbidden Planet NYC and they’re just as beautifully designed as the pictures we’d been teased with live up to the hype. Mondo Tees artist Tom Whalen has […]
A couple of weeks ago I attended the Tamashii Nations 10th Anniversary World Tour event at Grand Central Station here in NYC. Just a little background for those who may not know, Tamashii Nations is […]
Deals with the devil rarely go right. See how the web of terror and intrigue ends in one of 2016’s best received series. Chris came to Iraq after the 2003 American invasion to recruit and […]
We take aim at Marvel’s most unpredictable assassin with this first issue featuring one of our favorite bad guys. What does a mad master marksman do for fun? It ain’t yoga but apparently it does involve a South American cartel and lots of carnage. […]
Many of you may remember our old colleague Ruben Miranda (he of Comic Guys videos infamy). He’s a fine fellow. Unfortunately one of Ruben’s closest family members, his godson/nephew Manny, tragically passed away in a car […]
Hi guys- I’m doing something a little different this week as I am not just going to talk about toys, but also about what I’ve been currently reading. The goal of Val’s Toy Chest is […]
Forbidden Planet and Wild Eye Releasing team up once again for a DVD release party of spooky proportions. Wednesday October 26th from 7-9 get freaky with the cast and crew of Tales of Poe. Just […]
