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.
If you were trapped in the far far future, who would you rather provide your healthcare? It’s time to have the battle of the healthcare systems as Dr. McCoy takes on Dr. Zoidberg.
Loading ...
is that even a fair question? one doesn’t know anything about human anatomy (but is a good verbal punching bag) and the other is a educated in numerous physiologies, but won’t do work outside of his job description (“dammit jim, i’m a doctor (insert line here)).
i vote zoidberg, because he’s so stupid and clumsy he’ll kill the other guy by falling on him or cutting him with his claws.
Um… This really isn’t really a fight; it’s more of a choice of who do you want to cure you of illness.
Truthfully, anybody who wants Zoidberg as their HMO needs to have their head examined by Bones.
At first I was really disappointed in the performance of the Star Trek characters in these polls, but then I realized:
1) You’ve been using original series characters, some of whom have been dead for several years (or, at least, their careers are).
2) Star Trek runs, if you’re lucky, at 1 AM on CBS subsidiary (read: bitch) channel, The CW.
3) As a franchise, Star Trek has been unwatchable (Seven of Nine’s hooters notwithstanding) since DS9 went off the air more than a decade ago!
4) All of Trek’s competition is currently in the public eye, thanks (or maybe no thanks) to Star Wars: Clone Wars, Indiana Jones IV, and the Futurama revival on Comedy Central
Suddenly, I feel better…
OH COME ON!
Bones – A redshirt (yes, one word) dies each episode
Zoidberg – all the Futurama cast lives
No contest.
