X-Men Stories Future Films Should Adapt
Logan marks the tenth X-Men film--a landmark that many far older franchises never reach. To date, it is the second superhero franchise to reach ten straight entries (the only other being the Marvel Cinematic Universe). With 4 films on the horizon (Deadpool 2,X-Men New Mutants, X-Men Supernova, and X-Force) and that Gambit movie forevermore in development, the future looks bright for these mutants.

Best Graphic Novels Ever Written
The graphic novel as we know it started as the comic boom medium elevated to a new level near the start of the 1980s. Starting as just longer comics, the graphic novels emerging around this time set the trend for the future of the medium: elevated characterization, deeper stories, original voices unshackled by the constraints of the comic book industry, and art work that could be at once breathtaking, beautiful, enigmatic, and grotesque. The graphic novels from genesis to the modern day all shared these qualities, but, naturally, there were some comics that took a stand above all others, rising to the highest echelon of the comic book medium--the greats among greats.

Toxic Avenger is the Best Schlock Movie Ever
Melvin Junko is a dweeby mop-boy at Tromaville's most popular health club, hated by the evil fitness freaks that go there.

He becomes taller, more muscular, and possessed with an unstoppable urge to punish evildoers. He starts with the small-time crooks who litter the back alleys of New York, but his do-gooding makes the absurdly corrupt authorities nervous, especially as they're looking at dumping even more toxic waste in the area. Can Toxie take them on while looking after his new girlfriend, and making sure his violent urges are restricted to the bad guys?

Review: Logan (2017)
Fox has made two previous attempts at a Wolverine solo outing, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and The Wolverine (2013), and neither were quite up to par. The first suffered from an overstuffed script, some poor special effects, a mangled sense of continuity and no real direction to the plot; the overall thrown together feel makes it reek of cash-in. When announcements were made of a second outing for Logan, hope was initially high; indie talent Darren Aronofsky was set to direct an R-Rated take on the Frank Miller stories based in Japan. A lengthy overseas production schedule turned him off though and James Mangold took his place, crafting a more cohesive and entertaining effort than the first. The deliberate, character driven beginning gives way to an action filled middle, let down by a silly and bloated final battle. Both movies were box office successes but critics were less pleased, dismayed at the lack of emotional involvement and characterisation, and reliance on special effects and noise.

'The Walking Dead' Geek Auction
I want to start this off by saying that I'm a huge, huge fan of The Walking Dead. Even before it was a television series, I was one of those geeks who snapped up every single comic book out there...or, in my case, did what I could to borrow my friends' copies. The more I got into the world of Rick Grimes and the survivors, the more I wanted to see what happened.

Silver Age of Superhero Movies 2000 - 2007
With Bryan Singer's X-Men and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, two of Marvel's biggest hitters showed just how the modern superhero should be viewed. This prompted a wave of imitators and eventually the end of the classic franchise with X-Men: The Last Stand and Spider-Man 3. Quietly, on the sidelines, Christopher Nolan kicks off a street-level guerrilla war with Batman Begins that will solidify the end of the Silver Age of Superhero Movies from 2000 to 2007.
