This infographic, which cleverly marks itself as incomplete, marks which Doctors have travelled when. At a glance it shows you how far back or how far forward each of the generations of the Doctor have explored. If you’re a New Who only fan then the results might surprise you. Some Doctors, like the Third, had […]

This is a digital event that covers a wide range of characters from famous Avengers, X-Men and Spider-Man to characters Marvel wants to introduce before […]
Batman, The Joker, Hell Boy and X-23 as striking illustrations
These illustrations are by Uwe de Witt, a German illustrator and designer who lists Sam Raimi, Akira, Fight Club and Requiem for a Dream among his favourite inspirations. His style is certainly bold and quite unusual. There’s a certain energy to these pictures and you’ll likely find a favourite too; Batman, The Joker, Spawn, Ghost […]
God of War II by Robert E Vardeman review
God of War might not spring to mind as a computer franchise to cross the media streams and manifest as a series of novels but it’s done just that. On reflection perhaps it’s not that surprising. After all, Kratos and his struggles are firmly inspired by Greek mythology. Players of the game will have heard […]
Just what is Marvel’s Project Gamma?
At the achingly hip SXSW (South by South West) conference that merges tech with anyone else who might be interested Marvel announced Project Gamma. In summary; it’s music that plays along with your comics. It’s a little more complex than it appears at first. Normally the way to assign music to comics would be to […]
League of Legends: Fiddlesticks cosplay
This is top class cosplay. Look at the feet. Is that stilts? Perhaps so… but they’re at an angle. I can only speculate how hard it would be to balance on those. The character is Fiddlesticks from the League of Legends. He appeared after a summoning ritual gone wrong nearly twenty years ago in the […]
Second After Earth trailer
I still hold M. Night Shyamalan in pretty high esteem although it does feel like he’s been searching for a hit for a while. It could well be After Earth with the mega star combo of Jaden and Will Smith, playing father and son, will be it. This trailer shows Kitai Rage (Jaden) having to […]
Ammonite fossil skull
This skull, some 9.6 inches long, is carved from an Ammonite fossil. In India the skulls are associated with the God Vishnu and are used in various ceremonies. The name Ammonite actually comes from teh Greek ram-horned God called Ammon. I think these skulls are wonderful inspiration for GMs. There are plenty of fantasty creatures […]
Sherlock series 3 starts filming
Sue Vertue of Hartswood Films, the company behind Jekyll, Men Behaving Badly but most importantly Sherlock, has confirmed filming for series 3 of the BBC show will start this month. Cameras roll on Monday, March 18th but it is expected that the series will film in two parts due to the busy schedules of Martin […]
Little Witch trailer
I suspect this one draws on the same sources of inspiration that helped the Harry Potter stories along. Little Witch is a Studio Trigger production, directed by Yoh Yoshinari and produced by Naoko Tsutsumi. They’ve both previously worked on the Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt series. The anime movie opened in Japan at the start […]
