By Sam Spiller
May 10, 2018 - 7 years ago

Comic book and geek events such as the recent FanCon, while though only representing a select demographic of the population and the culture, are an important shift in how we perceive this community and potentially, how it is normalized within the context of South Africa.

By Darryn Bonthuys
May 7, 2018 - 7 years ago

DC and the Warner Bros. Animation department kicked off 2018 with a strong start with Batman: Gotham By Gaslight. Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay doesn’t drop that baton,thanks to a rock-solid combination of over the top action, lovable rogues and a surprising amount of heart that balances out its darker themes.

Hot Toys Gamora is ready for an Infinity War

By Darryn Bonthuys
May 3, 2018 - 7 years ago

In a film anchored by Star Lord’s taste in music and Groot’s…grootiness, Gamora is a fierce blade with a surprising warmth to her character. Moreso even in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, where she shines yet again. Her official impossibly realistic action figure from Hot Toys doesn’t look too bad either.

Venom, explained

By Darryn Bonthuys
April 25, 2018 - 7 years ago

With a tongue that Gene Simmons would kill for and a taste for brains that puts zombies to shame, Marvel’s Venom character has been enduring to say the least. Who is Venom though? A Spider-Man villain? A dangerous vigilante? A spacebound agent of order? He’s all that and more, as we take an insultingly brief look at Marvel’s original lethal protector.
