Vampires Should Be Evil

I encountered the Vampire tale first through the movies, staying up late Friday and Saturday nights watching Bela Lugosi, John Carradine and then Christopher Lee portray Dracula. The Count was the epitome of evil, his whole existence on this Earth one purpose, to feed and create more of his kind. Vampirism was like a plague,…

Review of ‘Ultimate Comics Avengers 3 #1’ (worst comic title EVER)

Really? They couldn’t come up with something better than Ultimate Comics Avengers 3 Issue #1? Maybe something like THE AVENGERS ARE VAMPIRES bababuuuuum! Anyway, this comic series, in which your beloved Marvel heroes become vampires, came out back in 2010… and I am just now reading it, because it just now came out digitally (going…

Tropes That Need to Go Away

One problem any popular genre develops tends to be tropes that pervade too much of it all. In and of themselves, maybe they work. Often they work quite well. They can, anyway. But when we see the same thing over and over and over again, we enter into the realm of the cliche. So here’s…

Vampire Character Halloween Costumes – Who Will you Go As?

It’s almost Halloween! That wonderfully eerie time of year when we dress up in fabulous costumes and consume mass amounts of unhealthy food and drinks! Yay! The best part of course is the costumes. What’s more fun than being a vampire for a day? You could go the easy route by hitting up a costume…

A Bloodthirsty Spiderman, Dracula and More in Blade Issue #1

I’m on yet another comic book kick and my most recent and most favorite of reads is Issue #1 of the 2006 Blade series. In this issue we have the ass-kicking half-vampire Blade, we have Dracula and, yes, even a vampiric Spiderman – and that’s all within the first few pages! Oh Marvel, how I…

Valentine’s Day Sucks

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and for some, it’s a dreadful day. Cutesy couples hanging all over each other, radio stations playing love songs all day and virtually every TV channel showing one romantic comedy after the other – it’s a bit sickening. For those of you who do not want to spend their day…

Review of ‘Blade’ the Anime Series

After three successful Blade live-action movies and a short-lived live-action show you’d think this classic comic book character would be done, but oh no, now we have a Blade anime. Directed by Mitsuyuki Masuhara, the 12 episodes originally aired in Japan last summer, and this past Friday night, Blade finally came to the US via…

Blade Anime Launches in January

You may think that the Blade franchise is dead and dusted since the last film, Blade: Trinity, totally bombed (though personally Trinity is my favorite). But nope, Blade is coming back! A Blade anime is coming soon to a television near you! Another live-action flick is probably what most fans want, but we can’t have…
