Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars - Book Review

You know, if it wasn’t for a toy company, this review would never have been written. It’s a long story, but the gist of it is this. After DC Comics launched their successful range of action figures, Marvel followed suit. But the toy company wanted their figures to have a common theme as it were, and suggested that Marvel launch a comic that would help sell their new line. And thus Secret Wars was born.

The Best Of Premier Promotions - DVD Review

It’s been a while since I’ve taken a look at John Freemantle’s Premier Promotions, one of the oldest companies in Britain at the moment. So what better way to have a gander than through The Best of Premier Promotions DVD compilation, originally filmed by Figure Four Films.

JLA/Avengers: The Collector's Edition - Book Review

Crossovers can either be great or messy affairs, and when I was younger, for me the ultimate crossover was DC’s The Justice League of America and Marvel’s The Avengers. In 2003, it finally happened.

Dr. Who: The Tomb Of The Cybermen - DVD Review

101 Knockouts In 101 Minutes - DVD Review

So I was in HMV in Norwich during my lunch break, browsing through the sports section, wondering why there never seems to be as many professional boxing DVDs as there are wrestling or mixed martial arts DVDs. Then, I saw it. For under a fiver, 101 Greatest Knockouts In 101 Minutes. This should certainly be interesting.

Highlander: The Source - DVD Review

To say that I’m a Highlander mark would be an understatement. Since the first time I saw the original film in 1986 with it’s great soundtrack by Queen, I’ve been hooked, going through all the films and TV series, and even watching the awful Highlander II a couple of times. So when I heard that a new film, The Source, was being released on DVD, I rushed down to my local Woolworths first thing on Monday morning and got a copy.

Soon I Will Be Invincible - Book Review

Those of you who have read my previous non-wrestling reviews will know that I am a long-time fan of the super-hero genre. Which is why when I first saw the front cover of “Soon I Will Be Invincible” by Austin Grossman, I was intrigued, and I just knew I had to read it.

3When people ask me who my favourite guitarist is, they’re surprised when I don’t mention the likes of Hendrix, Page and Clapton. They’re surprised when I mention the name of Ritchie Blackmore.
