It’s Aspen Comics time again over here at Nerdbot, and this week we’re resuming coverage of a very unique and entertaining series Nu Way. Think a meched out Russell Crowe Gladiator style competition where humans come equipped with crazy weapon arms and the most badass body armor the city of New Sheng has to offer.  Only the story is more focused on the characters.  I jumped in at issue two and I haven’t seen one robo-battle yet. I’ve called it a “worthwhile slow burn worthy of your time” or something like that but believe me when I say Nu Way is…

Did you see Venom? I still haven’t decided if I should pass up the Halloween remake this weekend and go see the latest MCU offshoot.  Normally I’d be there on a Thursday night at 7:30 for the big time superhero flicks but once the Venom reviews came out… I was like eh… maybe that $16.00 could go towards something that can get me drunk. FYI what you see above is not a typo.  It really does cost $16.00 to go to the movies in Los Angeles. With Rotten Tomatoes posting a Critics Score of 30% and an Audience Score of…

There is a certain beauty in simplicity.  Not every single thing has to be some layered mystery wrapped inside a riddle, wrapped in an enigma. Which brings me to our weekly coverage of various series from our friends over at Aspen Comics, and now the new issue of Dellec is upon us. I think you pronounce it Del-lek? Remember what I said about simplicity.  The second installment, titled “It is in dying that we awake to eternal life”, while having a super long name, only follows a couple of storylines as we get acquainted with our fresh off the resurrection…

Great news from the “remix” of the Watchmen happening over at HBO. Showrunner Damon Lindelof took to his Instagram on October 15th to share three important pieces of information regarding his highly anticipated series.  First, the show is officially in production.  Over here at Nerdbot we’ve been covering this story since HBO announced Lindelof pitched them the project.  So after several articles and God only know how many fan theories, the cameras are finally rolling.  Hopefully a trailer will drop sooner than later. The second nugget dropped via Lindelof’s Instagram came in the form of a photo of an unnamed…

Just like a significant portion of Los Angeles’ population, I moved here from someplace else. Yep, put my name on the list of Midwesterners who quit their job then drove across the country with the hopes of being swallowed alive by the Hollywood machine.  I hope I develop a drug problem too.  But before all of that I have to… you know… survive, so I got a job. My first couple of weeks of social interaction with my coworkers, I noticed I was having the exact same two conversations with everyone I met.  Traffic, and the weather.  Forget movies, a…

One of my favorite things about “bad” movies is the perpetual zeitgeist discussion about what could have been.  I still don’t know why it’s so compelling to converse amongst our social circles and pitch your best “they should’ve just dones” while throwing back a couple cocktails, but we all do it. Maybe it’s some weird coping mechanism, and if you’re still a DC fan after 2016, you’ve probably vented your frustrations on multiple occasions. What’s amazing is how there’s still so much online banter that highlights the positives (yes, there are some) and negative (yes, there are many) of Zack…

Have you signed up for DC Universe yet? It’s almost as important as registering to vote in the upcoming election, quite possibly even more important depending on who you talk to. This Friday, October 12th, we will finally get to see something that the Nerdbot crew has covered since the trailer dropped at Comic-Con… DC’s Titans. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vUfI2w-K3RE Warner Brothers is taking a page from the Marvel Playbook here and giving the popular superhero ensemble piece an “R” rated treatment.  Definitely something even I didn’t expect but who knows, Titans might be the perfect way to jumpstart the second phase of,…

I don’t think I’ll ever understand Zack Snyder. Here we are, over two years since the release of Batman v Superman and beating this dead DC horse is more relevant now than ever. Why might you ask? Because last week Warner Brothers dropped an extended Aquaman trailer on us that I’m hoping has changed many minds about a potential DCEU Rebirth. If you haven’t seen it, check out the preview below! And make sure you watch the whole thing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X2-hxAN5yec Believe me, there’s a bunch to breakdown here but for the purposes of this article we are going to focus…

One after another like a perfectly oiled machine of graphic entertainment, our friends at Aspen have been dropping independent comic dimes. This week’s review is of Artifact One #1, scheduled to arrive in stores on October 10th. Now I know you’re seeing a number one in the title of this issue but technically we’re on the second chapter. Yes the book started at zero, don’t ask me why. So if you’re looking to tryout a new series, just remember you have a little catching up to do. Just know Artifact One isn’t a a superhero story. Though the Kingdom of…

That’s right everyone, it’s Doomsday Clock time! Last week, Issue #7 arrived in comic book stores across the country. Again… waiting two months totally sucks and after reading Blind Spot, it’s going to be even worse. Notice the moth? He’s almost here. Two issues ago, Rorschach, along with the help of the telepathic Saturn Girl and Johnny Thunder discovered a Green Lantern in an abandoned factory. We resume the story with brief history lesson narrated by Dr. Manhattan. The opening monologue, delivered in his signature blank cadence, takes us back to the year 960 A.D. all the way through the…
