4. Thor (2011) I enjoyed Thor much more than I thought I would and was surprised by how solidly entertaining it was. I’ve never been a big fan of the character or the idea that Asgardian gods coexist with dudes in robot suits, super soldiers and big green monsters, but director Kenneth Branagh and star [...]

Okay, so I slacked off on this. It’s May 7th and The Avengers has already come out and I’ve already seen it. But fuck it, I’m gonna go through with this- finish what you start, you know? So… where were we? 3. Iron Man 2 (2010) Iron Man 2 is undoubtedly the worst film in [...]

2. The Incredible Hulk (2008) I’m beginning to see a trend with these Marvel movies. It seems to me that when the suits got together and decided to go ahead with their cinematic universe initiative, part of the plan was to enlist A-list actors of superb talent to bring Marvel’s iconic heroes to life.

Now that I’m once again woefully unemployed, I figured it was a better time than ever for a good ol’ fashioned Alex Hilhorst countdown.

Sorry it’s been so long since I last updated the site. I’ve been really busy with work, my new internship and other writing projects.

Good news, everyone! Radical Comics has sent over another preview of their excellent comic series Damaged, written by David Lapham! Here’s an exclusive look at the first eight pages of Damaged #5, on sale February 1st!

As I’m posting this almost a week before this issue actually hits stands, I’m going to make efforts not to spoil anything, but damn is it hard. This was a great issue, perhaps the best yet. To me, what made it such an outstanding installment was the places it took one of its characters, Jack [...]

The good folks over at Radical Comics have been kind enough to give me an eight page preview of the next issue of the awesome crime comic Damaged! Check it out below, and then head back tomorrow for my advanced review of the new issue! Click on the images to enlarge:

Duke Nukem: Glorious Bastard #4 And so, the Duke Nukem comic comes to a close, and no, I am not ashamed to say that I read all four issues. In concept this was a good idea, and I can’t exactly say I was disappointed since my expectations were never really that high, but at the [...]
