The Ettatorial for the Week of 11-25-09
A truly great week of releases this week, making it very difficult for me to pick just what was my pick of the week. Instead, I’m going to go with a quick run down of my purchases and let you be the judge.
The Movie We ALL Want to See
I really only have one question about these stupid movies. From what I gather, these Vampires can go out during the day (take the above picture as an example of why I know this). So why is it they still have pale, untanned skin like real Vampires who can only go out at night? I’ll [...]
Muppet Rhapsody
Something to brighten your holiday week with, from the geniuses at the Henson Company.
The Ettatorial for the Week of 11-18-09
A fine week of releases this week, with two books getting my attention. So without further ado, here we go.
First up this week is Amazing Spider-Man #612. The first part of The Gauntlet, if this opening shot is a good indicator where this will be heading, we’re definitely in for a good time. Mark Waid [...]

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer trailer is totally staged, but still shows off the excellent destruction: http://tinyurl.com/y8ck3bl #

We Live in the Future
Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but occasionally I marvel at human ingenuity. It’s can be to easy to get down and depressed when we watch the news, or think about the state a large part of the world lives in, but my spirits always lift when I see something like this, and I see the [...]
Warner’s DVD2Blu Trade-in Program
While I appreciated Warner’s Red2Blu trade-in program (send them the sleeves to your old HD-DVDs, you keep the movie, and for $5 they send you a Blu-ray), their new DVD2Blu program just doesn’t seem like as good of a deal. First of all, they charge $7.95-$9.95 for your replacement and secondly, you have to send [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 11-11-09
A rather small and disappointing week of releases this week, leading to some difficulty in picking a book. With a particularly sub-par issue of Batman and Robin (seriously, a bad bit of art and a very by-the-numbers bit from Morrison), and a step down in quality in Daredevil, that left me with an issue of [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 11-4-09
A very nice week of releases this week, with some interesting releases that made for some difficult picks. One came so very close, Secret Six #15 for those keeping track, as John Ostrander made a triumphant return to the character that most feel defines him in Deadshot-honestly I really should recommend it as well. But, [...]
