"Don't make me angry.You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.Click on my bald head to see for yourself." Ohh that Lex! He's so funny when he screams. It made me laugh in agony.You on the other hand may have a different reaction. Perhaps you'll slouch in your chair after watching this trailer. While the first one released months ago left me wanting more, this latest effort deflated my expectations.Trailers can make shitty movies seem like good ones, and good movies seem great. So what do you have when you see a shitty trailer? I guess we'll have to wait till…

Honestly, I'm glad the Journal dug into the story and came forward with names, and don't begrudge them the "scoop" in the least. I've said in the past that PCS isn't really a news site and have felt that our reporting on this story exclusively,…

Vs. CARD OF THE WEEK: Bart Allen <> The Flash (DCR-173)

Take two friends who love comics. Add a superhero-themed collectible card game. Sprinkle a dash of competitiveness, and a lump of testosterone. The result? Weekly matches that turn friends into nemeses.This is not your typical "card of the week" column. Every web site dedicated to CCGs has been there and done that.

Dan and I usually play two games of Vs. a week, and every Sunday, we'll feature the card that we think most influenced the outcome of the matches we played the preceding week, and the metagaming lessons we learned in…

One of several great comics Image publishes that's been hobbled by sporadic and late-shipping issues, The Expatriate is definitely one of my favorites. Check out my review of the second issue, and then hit artist Jason Latour's blog for daily doses of the first four issues...for FREE!!!Why? Let LaTour explain it:Just for the simple fact that we can. Because we made this thing with love and sweat and tears and balls the size of Jupiter.... and we don't think enough of you are reading it.
