The MUSIC MEEEISSSSTERRRR! Sing the song that the world wants to heeeear! Man, I’ve had that stuck in my head for WEEKS, now. This particular RFR was meant to go up last week, just in time for the annual festival of half-price chocolate, but various things conspired to keep me from completing it until today.

This week, the duo of Stephen Schleicher and Matthew Peterson crack the cover of the latest Buffy, the Vampire Slayer issue, that not only brings an end to the five issue story arc, but quite possibly the end of all those other vampire slayers as well. Take the jump to see what our charming duo have to say about this issue in this week’s installment of Dueling Reviews.
Through my many years of watching films, I have come discovered that some movies are synonymous certain genres. When you think “Mob movie,” The Godfather usually comes to mind. If the term “Science Fiction” or “Space Opera” is mentioned, one might have visions of light-sabers or Vulcans run through their head. And when someone says “Horror-Comedy,” the first film though of is The Toxic Avenger. Ahh yes, The Toxic Avenger. Not only is this film extremely entertaining, it is a pinnacle of independent film making and single-handedly shaped the direction of an entire movie studio, as well as influenced countless films. But we’ll address that after the jump. So douse yourself with some toxic waste and follow me!

Or – “Come To The Dark Side… They Have Cookies!”
During the events of ‘52,’ the Religion of Crime was fixated on “the twice-named daughter of Kane,” and spent a great deal of time trying to skewer Batwoman in accordance with the prophecy. They failed in stabbing her to death, but didn’t disappear, resurfacing with a new leader, a crazy white-skinned woman known as Alice. During their intial encounter, Batwoman was stunned to have Alice refer to “our father,” before swan-diving into the freezing polluted waters of Gotham Bay. Is Alice a loon, or is she genuine? And does this have anything to do with the mysterious and traumatic incident from Batwoman’s childhood?

Or – “Former Captain America Steve Rogers Is STILL Dead, But That Could Change At Any Moment…”
The most recent Previews gives us the news that this series will be running an additional issue before the Captain America series restarts in January with #602. (It’s really NOT #602, by the way…) Steve Rogers’ return to the land of the living is pretty much fait accompli, and the solicitations have already given us hints of what he’s going to do once he’s actually returned from the bleedin’ choir invisibule. Of course, the main problem we have is that at this point in time, HE’S NOT ACTUALLY BACK YET. Wanna see how this all works out? Read on, MacDuff, and let slip the squirrels of war.
