Go Indie

I consider myself to be a real Marvelite. I dabble in DC occasionally. But recently I have diverted my attention away from Marvel and DC in search of something different. I am glad to say that I have found some amazing comics that are not from Marvel or DC. Here are just a few that I have found on my journey through the comic book multiverse.

 A quick note, the comics I am going to feature are available on Comixology if you don't have a Comixology account, it's free and the service is available across multiple platforms. Also, I don't want to give too much away about these comics because I want you to read them, so don't expect in depth reviews.

I think that Bomb Queen is an amazing series because it is unlike the standard storytelling formula found in so many mainstream comics. Rather than the story be told from the hero perspective. Bomb Queen makes the villain the center of attention. Not only that, but she is a villain that wins and you actually root for. (Warning; It does contain some adult themes)


Aphrodite IX (Publisher: Top Cow)
For me, the art style of the series, particularly Vol.2 is simply breathtaking! It looks beautiful, along with a great, complex plot. This is a great read. I would suggest picking up Vol.1 first, because that is great too. One of the best things about Vol.2 is that issue one is free. Yes, you read that right...... FREE!!! If you like Sci-Fi or  you are just looking for something a little different to Spiderman and Superman, this is a great place to start.

The thing I love the most about this series is the concept. I won't ruin it for you because I really want you to read this. Let's just put it this way, it involves something very close to me. Food.  Also, issue one is free. That's pretty awesome methinks.


These are just a few series that I have recently discovered. Are there any you would recommend? Don't forget to comment!!!

Silly Sony

Silly Sony, they do some shocking things. You know how this goes. This constant fixation on graphics - I find this so infuriating. I like substance over style. To me, Sony and their fans just seem to look to aesthetics and then talk about gameplay. Just watch any Sony conference to see what I'm talking about. The PS4 unveiling conference. It was just full of tech demos and cutscenes . Then they tried to say all of the games will look that during gameplay, then at E3. They just didn't. But what annoys me the most is the fan response to this stuff. They always blow things out of proportion.  There are so many games I have played on PS3 that people said were aesthetically amazing, only to find the game was boring and wasn't actually that good in my opinion. Once such game was Heavenly Sword, everyone said it looked amazing, which it did. But. The game was so boring!! I just think people should stop saying games are good because they appear to be good. Actually play the...

Game industry.... Groan.

This post isn't going to be a long, detailed rant about the game industry. Rather, it's going to be a list of things that really annoy me about the industry or things I hate about it. I love everything about gaming, so I am not going to be holding back. That means Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo plus any developers I can think if will be included in the list. SEGA has kept making more Sonic games. Seriously SEGA, NOBODY WANTS SONIC ANYMORE!! GIVE US SHENMUE 3 ALREADY!!! Nintendo is always behind on technological trends. Nintendo, there is no need to do this. You have money, put some of it into making a futureproof  home console. Ubisoft making annual Assassin's Creed games. Come on Ubisoft, it's obvious you are just doing this for the money now.  Activision release CoD annually yet, the game has remained fundamentally the same since CoD 3. *sigh* Sony fanboys  constantly talking about graphics. I know, fans aren't part of the industry. I still hate it. So...

Switch Hype

Even PS4 characters are hyped for Switch! As I mentioned in my last post, which you can read  here.  I am now the proud owner of a Nintendo Switch. I couldn't be happier. I have downloaded a few demos (I don't have the money for all the games I want right now) and I am really enjoying Fire Emblem Warriors.  Just like Hyrule Warriors before it, it is so much more than a Dynasty Warriors game with Nintendo characters. Well, I could write more. But I made a video instead. To save you from doing anymore reading than necessary for today. You are welcome. Watch here.
