If I’ve learned anything in my time scouring the Internet for people’s opinions on the comics that I read, it’s that this is one of the most polarizing comics. People either love this comic or despise it (and keep reading it in order to crap on other people’s opinions, oh Internet). I, shockingly enough, belong to the former group.

Hello fellow X-Men fans!

I thought you would be interested to hear that while browsing the interwebs, I found that a sequel to X-Men: First Class has officially been announced by 20th Century Fox!  I saw a projected release date of July 18th, 2014 here.  Apparently, the filming is somewhat being scheduled around Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.  Once The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is finished, she will be jumping right in to play the role of Mystique in the new X-Men.

Having just finished another arduous school year, I managed to claw my way back home and find respite back with my video games. My most recent challenge? Batman: Arkham City. Let’s not focus on how late I am to the party.

So, after sinking a proper amount of my teeth into this batty buffet, I began to hone in on an important facet of the game. No, not the gameplay, not the graphics, not the replayability.

The fashion.

So here’s Jon’s Best and Worst Dressed List of Batman: Arkham City!

She uses pheromones to seduce men. Only pheromones. …really.

Wasn’t Avatar: The Last Airbender an incredible show?  Fans of the show probably already know this, but the show ran from 2005 to 2008 and was separated into three seasons.  However, did you know that there is technically a 4th season that continued after the show?

Are you ready for the Dark Knight Rises?  I cannot express in words how excited I am for this movie.  I am predicting that it gives The Avengers a run for its money.  I am expecting it to be THAT good.

Is Kingdom Hearts one of your all-time favorite games?  I know that it is absolutely one of my favorites.  Addicting game play, an awesome story, and having the ability to fight alongside your childhood movie characters are all combined into this epic game.  With the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance soon to release (July 31st, 2012), Kingdom Hearts has been quite the buzz.  However, with so many side stories, the series has probably left many of you lost and not knowing what the heck is going on.  I am going to give the breakdown of each game and where it fits in the story.

You will probably hear Jon and I mention ‘The New 52‘ and many of our reviews/discussions will be talking about New 52 series.  I figured it would be a good idea to brief you on what the New 52 actually is.
