The Evil Inside #1
Writer: Bart A. Thompson
Illustrators: Paul Schultz,
Jake Sumbing, and
Giovanni P. Timpano
Lettering: Brant W. Fowler
Approbation Comics
Cover Price $3.50; Available Now
CEO and Editor-In-Chief of Approbation Comics Bart A. Thompson spins three tales from different horror genres in this first issue of short story anthologies. The comic, as stated in the back of the comic, was a test that Thompson put on himself to see if he could tell a full story within the confines of a set page length. He then asked one artist each to pencil the stories. Now, you can't go around creating horror anthology comic books without having to deal with comparisons to the king of horror anthology, EC Comics and their numerous titles. Thompson's writing comes off solid here, as he quickly sets up the characters, lets them lead the reader into thinking they know what is going to happen, and then pulls the rug out with an unexpected twist. Even by the time the third story comes around, and you are consciously looking for the hidden twist, Thompson still manages to surprise...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Top Cow Productions
Cover price: $2.99; On-sale: July 25, 2007
Ménage à catfight anyone?
The only man in issue #109 of Witchblade from Top Cow Productions is during a Dani Baptiste (the current Witchblade bearer) flashback sequence. The three women in the issue -- Dani, Sara Pezzini, the pregnant, previous bearer of the Witchblade, and Celestine -- get along as well as Hef’s girlfriends vying for the last bottle of blonde hair dye.
A tight manga-style Townsend cover starts off part two of the "One Good Turn" storyline in this very important issue of Witchblade with a bang. Dani is very surprised to see how her life has turned as the current wielder of the Witchblade. The Witchblade is an ancient, mystical, and powerful gauntlet that Dani has inherited from Sara Pezzini. Sara is a pregnant New York City police officer that is not only charged with showing Dani the ropes, but also finding out about the mysterious circumstances of her pregnancy and what that may mean to the whole Top Cow Universe....continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom

Movie Review: The Simpsons Movie
There are certain things one is unable to speak of, provided one is a geek, without getting personal. Star Wars is one of two for me. The Simpsons is the other…
I question authority figures, huge groups, organized religion, fast food or any politician. I don’t trust any group dynamic that says “if we stay together everything will be alright,” don’t believe in the sanctity of the American family and I LOATHE children.
Where do you think I GOT all this from?...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom

Comic Review: Spectrum #2
Spectrum #2
Written, Penciled, and Inked by Peter Simeti
Alterna Comics
Cover Price: $3
He should be dead. He thought he was dead. But Dr. Glass is somehow alive, although the medics in the morgue think otherwise. Glass awakens just before an autopsy is to be performed on him, and quickly escapes as he tries to remember the events of the night before, in which his lab partner was killed and his lab destroyed, all in the name of an experiment project called Spectrum. Now it appears, that very suit he was working on has become part of his body, and he realizes through the fog of his mind that his family is perilous danger. Meanwhile, the Sponsor, the financial backer of Spectrum, is setting out to tie up loose ends. His first task is to eliminate all ties to Glass, and using Glass's cell phone, sets out to destroy anyone with a connection to Glass.
In Spectrum #2, Peter Simeti returns with his one-man created comic here as he picks the story up right where he left Issue #1. His parallel time running story focuses on Glass and The Sponsor, as one tries to protect life and one tries to destroy it, bringing back to mind the stances that each character takes on science and research in the first issue. The story primarily focuses on Glass, and much of the story is told via internal monologue...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom

JULIETTE AND THE LICKS
Four on the Floor
Hassle
Before we had Juliette Lewis: Rock Star, we had Juliette Lewis: Movie Star. Juliette Lewis is an Oscar-nominated superstar that picked eclectic film roles that best suited her female-Jack-Nicholson-incarnate persona. It makes sense that she would then go on to make music that goes straight for the gonads, boys.
Yeah, girls can rock hard, too....continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom
