Full disclosure: I know fuck all about Voodoo. To the point that I didn’t even know she was a character that existed in any universe. So when DC relaunches the series as part of The New 52 this is the perfect time to start learning myself about her, right?
Here’s the thing: I’ve now read Voodoo #1 and here’s the summation of what I know about Voodoo: She’s a stripper who shape-shifts into some sort of monster/alien/thing. I also know that I probably won’t be reading Voodoo #2.

When I originally heard that “The Thing” was being remade, my first thought was, “Blasphemy!” I later learned that this was not a remake and it was, in fact, a prequel that told the story of the ill-fated Norwegian team from John Carpenter’s classic horror movie. My interest was piqued and I approached the prequel with skepticism and excitement. I loved the idea of seeing one of my favorite horror movies come to life again, but I was still worried if it would do any justice to the iconic 1982 film. After watching “The Thing” (2011), I realized that John Carpenter said everything he needed to say in one movie, and that no one can recreate the magic of “The Thing” like he can.

Creepy clans conduct conspicuous capers causing character casualties. The torture transmitted to thyself today translates to triumphant time thereafter.
In other words, the world of Gloom is a dark, gothic place where miserable families lead miserable lives hoping for a miserable death. It’s thought that the darker and more pathetic a person’s current life is the more joyous their afterlife will be. It is up to you to drag your clan members through as many dark and depraved events as possible.

For several years now, the worst movie I’ve ever seen was “Manos: The Hands of Fate.” I find it absolutely amazing that just when I think nothing can top that, something else comes along that manages to hit all new abysmal lows. Defying all logic, “Birdemic: Shock and Terror” actually makes “Manos: The Hands of Fate” look like a finely-crafted, and even more surprising, watchable movie. I get a sick pleasure from watching awful movies for a variety of reasons, and “Birdemic” is no exception.
However, for as amusing as Birdemic can be, it is truly a rotten movie.

I’m not going to lie; Brian Michael Bendis is definitely responsible for a percentage of my economic instability. After 10 years of not buying comics, I bought the first couple of issues of his run writing Daredevil in 2001, and I was hooked. From there I tried to buy as much of his stuff as my meager means would allow. I wasn’t reading a ton of comics, but more often than not when I did, they had the Bendis name on them. Then I got a car, and that was the end of that. Fortune however, is on my side, since my car is now paid for and Bendis has just started writing Marvel’s new Moon Knight series.
Now, there’s going to be a some comic readers that aren’t going to be too familiar with the Moon Knight character. That makes perfect sense. To be honest, neither am I. Moon Knight is like, a third level Avenger. Let me put it this way: If the Avengers were the Peanuts gang, Moon Knight would be Shermy. He would be playing a shepherd in the Avengers’ Christmas Pageant. He has had previous series and whenever he’s popped up with cameo appearances or whatever he has always been kind of a cool character that was intriguing to me. That could be because of the basic similarities to Batman, I don’t know; but it has been a very long time since he’s had any kind of spotlight thrown his way.

October is quickly drawing to a close, and before you know it we’ll be in the full swing of the holiday season. While I personally don’t enjoy the freezing weather that’s right around the corner there’s just no getting around it…. Winter Is Coming.
