Beyond the Ice Limit [BOOK REVIEW]
After the mysterious events of the Lost Island, Gideon Crew discovers the secret healing benefits his employer has received from the plants on the lost island, allowing him to now walk. Could this cure work for Gideon’s own deadly condition? It doesn’t seem like it, but its miraculous properties are enough to keep a skeptic like Gideon on the hook with Glinn in his strangest quest yet: the search for a presumably dangerous alien life form at the bottom of the ocean past the Ice Limit.

The Death of Superman Book & DVD Set [GRAPHIC NOVEL REVIEW]
I first got into Superman when, as a child, I lived in a desert town with no TV and, once a month, we’d go to the largest city in our area to get provisions. There was a half-price comic book store and I would find ‘70’s and ‘80’s Bronze age books for 15 cents apiece, purchasing as many as I could to make the month until I got back bearable. DC comics always had a more powerful tone to me and I would try to buy comics that I could find in as sequential an order as possible. Superman books were some of the more intriguing (second only to Flash, in my mind) because he was so powerful, that the w

Beautiful Nightmare: Dancing with Pride [EVENT GALLERY]
We had the opportunity to host our first annual Beautiful Nightmare Dance Party last week in the incredible venue, The Bar Complex, in Lexington, KY, which boasts a mirror-paneled and pillared ballroom and a mesmerizing light display that was installed by the same company that put in the light displays for the infamous Studio 54.

Born to Game: Day 3 of Gen Con 2015 [ARTICLE/EVENT]
After misjudging the best way to enter the vendor area the day before, I corrected my approach, skirted the convention center, and came in the opposite entrance, allowing me to make my way through the even more crowded vendor area with a minimum of “pardon me”/”excuse me” dances in the process. Arriving in Paizos’ Pathfinder pavilion was really cool, because it shows how just much a creative indie manufacturer could become a major power player with its Roleplaying system in just 7 years. It may have been based on D&D’s 3.5 open license mechanics when it was released in 2008…

Born to Game: Day 2 of Gen Con 2015 [ARTICLE/EVENT]
Chatting with Ben Loomes was refreshing, as his desire for improving the storytelling landscape around him was one I could totally understand. As a roleplayer himself, he found real world campaigns lacked the auditory elements found in video games and set about to change that. Using a complex sample based program (so that every type of sound can have random components) with reverb options (so you can have sounds happening in different qualitative environments, from open plains to confined caverns), he created a series of sound effects and music scores that can be triggered by your smartphone

Born to Game: Day 1 of Gen Con 2015 [EXTENDED ARTICLE]
Gen Con has the distinction of being the largest table top gaming Convention in North America, with a focus on board games, pen-and-paper, card games, and anything related to games that are not primarily played in the digital realm. (This doesn’t mean that there aren’t some cool tabletop games that take advantage of technology in their gameplay, but the technology isn’t required for the playing of most of the games.)

Bloodline (Star Wars) [BOOK REVIEW]
In Bloodline, we follow Princess Leia some 6 years before the events of The Force Awakens, where she’s a married senator who’s trying to get the New Republic to work together, Han is her devoted husband who runs space races to keep sharp, Chewie lives back on Kashyyk with his family, and her son, Ben, is being taught the ways of the force by Luke. When a secret scheme forces Leia and her aides to explore the dark criminal underworld of a nearby star system, no one is prepared for the depth of the conspiracy–or the secrets–which will be unearthed in the process!

Beneath the Cowl: Seeing the Brilliance in Batman V. Superman [FILM EDITORIAL]
Without doubt, Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice is the most Gothic comic book film since Alex Proyas’ The Crow with Brandon Lee. However, Batman V. Superman (B vs. S) is something very different than The Crow. The Crow was intended to be just one film, and future films almost destroyed the incredible work they’d done in that original, whereas B vs. S is designed to be the second film in the DC Universe and open the way to a ton of new films.
