Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules. Of course, in this hodgepodge system there's always room for someone to start rocking boats, rattling cages and tipping over cows.
Matthew has something to hide in Major Spoilers Adventures #35: A Cut Above.
It’s that time loyal Spoilerites! The Comic Casting Couch is live, and this week we take a look at a hero who was introduced around the Infinite Crisis, has had his own series, and can be seen all over the DC Universe, The Blue Beetle!
We’ve scoured our brains and have come up with a list of our Top Ten Time Traveling movies that end up teaching us a thing or two about our desire to change past events.
In this issue: A popcorn comic reviewed, Superman owes for damages, and Darkwing Duck is back!?
Stephanie Brown has really come into her own as the new Batgirl, but when her old flame shows up, things can either go oh so wrong, or so, so right.
Ahh, the '70's. A time of Afros, bell-bottoms, and in the case of CBS television, attempts at superhero TV shows. This week, we're going to take a look at one of these TV movies, loosely based on WWII hero Captain America. So grab your clear Cap shield and motorcycle helmet and read on!
Batman: Streets of Gotham artist Dustin Nguyen has brought to life characters of the DCU with his unique and striking art style. Dustin’s art work can also be found in the pages of Wildstorm, Supernatural, and the Friday the 13th books. A favorite among comic fans, I had the pleasure to speak with him about his career, comics and the return of Bruce Wayne.
According to Marvel, Punisher #8 features Dark Wolverine taking on Frank Castle, and the results promise to alter Frank Castle’s life forever! That’s right FOREVER!
FOREVER THEY SAY!
(Click for full sized image)
The fun begins in when Punisher #8 arrives August 19, 2009.
Loading ...
did you say FOREVER?
i’m just happy Dillon is getting back on the series (can’t remember when though)
I’ve been really enjoying the current run of Punisher. He used the old Ant-Man gear to help smuggle himself into the Hood’s club and exploded out of a guy that ate him in a bite of pizza. It was awesome!
Is anyone here reading Punisher?
in the eventual trade, but not monthly.
And isn’t Dillon teaming with Aaron on the relaunched PunisherMax series?
I’m thinking Frank loses an eye.
I read this and its pretty good
I really like Rick Remender and I hope his Doctor Voodoo is just as good.
Not sure why we have to have Wolverine in yet another title. Albeit its not really Wolverine, but Daken is better than Logan in getting into freakin books :)
Im gonna have to agree with Josh I think Frank will lose an eye
Johnny Nepotism just doing the promo teaser? Or is he on the arc proper? If he’s in, I’m definitely out.
Dakens third claw is pointing the wrong way…Well to be fair it has changed “shape” before.
@Cmonocle
Yeah im digging his use of random classic gadgets and gear.
Are you reading “Suicide Kings” ?
Daken is such a ludicrous character, even worse than X-23. I think Marvel should introduce four or five more Wolverine clones and/or children. They can all have healing powers and claws sticking out of random places on their bodies (claws growing out of the kneecaps! or the eyes!), and they can call themselves “the W-Men.”
Daken is such a ludicrous character, even worse than X-23.
My friend Tom Grice (who is WRONG, sir! WRONG!) nailed Daken on the head by using a gaming analogy. Palladium Games used to have a quality called “MEGA-DAMAGE” which indicated that an attack/power/person/vehicle was SOOPER-powerful, which pretty much broke the game in terms of combat and attacks.
Daken is, simply put, “Mega-Damage Wolverine.” (And this time? Tom got it right.)
If you read the new Weapon X you’d see 4-5 Wolvie wannabees
Thats sort of close :)
Funny, I really hate Wolverine, but Daken and X-23 really don’t irritate me. In fact, I’d choose the son over the father any day of the week.
Anybody think Frank Castle might actually die in 616 continuity? I always though Punisher worked best without supes in the mix.

If he does, it’ll be short-lived.
