My Best of 2013...

In the run up to Christmas and the eventual wind down of the this year I began to think about what comics I have really enjoyed during the year. It has also made me re-assess the comics I actually love to read. Plus I am apparently still very much a Marvel Fanboy even though Image did such a great job this year to try and make me a convert. It has become more and more difficult to find the time to read any comics coming towards the end of this year and unfortunately I think it will only get harder but what follows are the titles and writers, artists who really stand out to me and are at the top of my stack to read once I get home on a Wednesday. Lets get on with the choices then shall we...

Marvel's Free Comic Book Day offering gets an updated cover...

So Diamond Comics have been releasing more details on the different titles coming from each Publisher at the beginning of May 2014. And there has been a slight change to the cover of the Marvel offering, but I can't think why can you? Well there is a certain film coming out at the end of next year which may have something to do with the characters in the comic and a certain portrayal of a certain character in that comic getting a new updated costume to look like a certain upcoming film portrayal. But after all that certainty I can safely say that after a lot of staring at the image I have come to the conclusion that I do like the costume, I can't wait to see people cosplaying it with the helmet. See what you think below;

Destiny will arrive 09.09.2014!

Destiny will  be coming to consoles next year on the 9th September. Well this is the only reason I want to purchase a next Gen console at the mo. Including a couple of other games which are still only in the early stages of development. But its nice to finally have a date and know by what time I need to have my PS4! It certainly has been a weekend for exciting video game news.

VGX: Telltale take on Game of Thrones in 2014!

As if after Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us, Telltale Games could not strive for more awesome! Well they have last night it was revealed they will be working with HBO for a new episodic Game of Thrones title in 2014! Now if this doesn't have excited I don't know what will! Check out the reveal below!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Trailer!

So Thursday saw the release of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer. Certainly seems to be shaping up. 3 villains in Elektro, Rhino and Green Goblin, also did you see the Doc Ock arms and Vulture wings at Oscorp? This trailer sets up Amazing Spider-Man 2 and also certainly sets up many things and questions for future installments. We won't know more until May next year but I will definitely be seeing this the day it comes out.
