The movie reviews are focused on SciFi\/Fantasy\/Horror\/World Cinema type stuff so really covers most of my main movie interests. So far I haven&#8217;t noticed any signs of the reviews being biased by ads, they&#8217;ve been quite accurate for the most part. Quite the opposite of bought by adverts actually, they did a huge exclusive preview spread drooling over <cite>30 Days of Night<\/cite> and then slated it in the review the next issue.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s other new release is <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/viz.co.uk\/\">Viz<\/a><\/cite>. After really going down hill for about 8 months the last 4 or 5 issues have been superb. Last issues Profanisaurus was excellent.<\/p>\n<p>The other release of this week which I won&#8217;t actually get for another fortnight is <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorse.com\/Comics\/15-316\/Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-Season-8-19-Time-of-Your-Life\">Buffy Season 8: Issue 19<\/a><\/cite>. The concluding part of the Fray arc of the Buffy comics looks to be good and after being hit by the curse of Fray and delayed so long it better bloody be.<\/p>\n<p>I had never been a big comic fan (<cite>He-Man<\/cite> when I was young excluded) but <cite>Buffy<\/cite> Season 8 really sparked my interest. I have been getting <cite>Buffy<\/cite>, <cite>Angel<\/cite>, <cite>Spike<\/cite>, <cite>Serenity<\/cite> and a few other random TV related comics randomly. I obviously picked up the <cite>Watchmen<\/cite> and from one of the <cite>Angel<\/cite> staff got <cite>Everybody&#8217;s Dead<\/cite> which is a really silly\/cool Zombie short series. I got <cite>Conan<\/cite> for a while then dropped but am enjoying <cite>Solomon Kane<\/cite>. Other random pick-ups have been <cite>X-Files<\/cite> and <cite>Lost Boys<\/cite>, I noticed there is an <cite>Underworld<\/cite> series coming out so I may pick that up to see what it&#8217;s like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of the month again: SciFi Now Thursday!
