I think it’s safe to say that Star Wars: The Old Republic is one of the most anticipated Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games to come out in nearly a decade. When you look at the pedigree, it’s hard to deny that there are a lot of high caliber forces coming together to make this game. Star Wars is one of the most beloved Sci-Fi franchises of all time, Bioware is one of the premiere RPG developers, and Electronic Arts has one of the biggest coin-purses in the video game industry. So with all this expectation and fawning, can the title…

Having written or drawn nearly every Superhero in the comic books, few people in the industry have a career as noted as John Byrne. Recently he has been partnering up with IDW Publishing on various projects, with his latest creation being the Espionage/Thriller Cold War. Cold War, both written and drawn by Byrne, follows the adventures of English Special Agent Captain Swann. Not surprising, the book takes place during the height of the Cold War as Swann attempts to achieve his covert goals. Right from the start, we join Swann on a mission that has gone terribly wrong. Stuck behind…

The single thing I was most excited about with DC Comics’ New 52 initiative was the way that Vertigo was clearly bleeding into the DC Universe. With the inclusion of Swamp Thing and John Constantine into the DC Universe, the publisher declared that all the things that go bump in the night were going to make their way back into DC Comics in a big way. Over the years DC has featured some amazing magic and supernatural characters, and just like Justice League has been their flagship superhero title, nothing embodies this new DC magic like Justice League Dark. Justice…

Big things are on the horizon for the Robots in Disguises. Today IDW announced that its 150th issue set in the Transformer Universe, set to be released in December, will be titled Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime. As the events of the Chaos story line draw to a close, there will be very little peace in Cybertron. As the dust settles the old warhorses must reflect on their position in a new and more peaceful world. Over the decades Optimus Prime has shown that he is a great leader on the battlefield, but can he be the leader of…

Regardless how you feel about DC Comics’ relaunch, it must be conceded that they are attempting to expand their scope. While their Vertigo imprint has always pushed the boundaries with comics like V for Vendetta and Transmetropolitan, DC Comics proper usually stuck to the mainstream. With this relaunch we’re seeing a lot of comics coming out that are being referred to as “DC Dark.” Animal Man and Swamp Thing have made their way to DC and soon even Vertigo mainstay John Constantine will be joining the magic version of The Justice League in Justice League Dark. While stuff like this…
