Josh Reviews the Animated Watchmen: Chapter One
I’ll admit it, I was very dubious when I read that DC/Warner Brothers were releasing a two-part animated adaptation of Watchmen. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons’ seminal series from 1985-86. It was thunderously influ

News Around the Net
Here’s a trailer for the latest attempt at a Hellboy movie: I love this character, and I’m all-in for as many Hellboy movies as they want to make. (This is the fourth movie and the third iteration.) But is there an audience for this? I hope so. It’s weird the
