Now it is Simon Jeffrey’s turn.  Just the other day, it was […]

With little to no news about the movie after the initial article in Variety, I have to say we […]

When I think Comic-Con, I think hot chicks cosplaying and companies pushing their comic book related junk on the public. Well that’s just what Sega did this year with Iron Man and Bleach.
