"Warehouse 13" stars Aaron Ashmore, left, and Eddie McClintock flank your humble blogger.
Another Motor City Comic Con has come and gone. And what a Comic Con it was, I hear! I wasn’t able to attend Friday or Saturday, and when I saw our story about the crazy lines and crowds, I was shocked (and, to be honest, kind of glad I wasn’t there). I have a friend … Continue Reading →
Vorteque is one of the musical guests. (Vorteque)
World Steam Expo may be gone, but a new steampunk convention has arisen to take its place over Memorial Day weekend. Up in the Aether starts Friday at the Doubletree Dearborn-Detroit, 5801 Southfield, Detroit, and it sounds like a lot of fun, as one would expect from a steampunk convention. Preregistration is closed. At-the-door registration … Continue Reading →
When last we left my Eddie McClintock interview, fans were left hanging as to whether the show would return for a fifth season. UPDATE: Deadline is reporting that “Warehouse 13″ has been renewed for a six-episode final season that won’t air until 2014. Sigh. (Quick rant: I guess I could never be a programming executive … Continue Reading →
I’d heard through the entertainment writer grapevine that “Warehouse 13″ star Eddie McClintock is a great interview — charming, gregarious, funny and open. He was definitely all those things during my interview ahead of his appearance at Motor City Comic Con this weekend, where he’ll be appearing with co-star Aaron Ashmore. He went above and … Continue Reading →
Ken Levine is a genius. And his team at Irrational Games are geniuses. There, I said it, and I’d much rather he write games than scripts for Amy Grant. Without a doubt, the narrative of Bioshock Infinite is its strongest feature. The story is brilliantly told, and I’ll do my best to not add any … Continue Reading →
For those of you who think you can just turn the TV off after May season finales on the networks, well, you should know better by now. Cable’s the place to be. We’ve got new episodes of “Warehouse 13″ and “Defiance” airing on Syfy, for one thing. “Doctor Who” is on BBC America (though these … Continue Reading →
It’ll be Christmas in May when Free Comic Book day arrives on Saturday. Stores around Metro Detroit (and the country) will be running charity drives, hosting artist signings, featuring costumed characters, holding sales and more as the throngs arrive to pick up their free swag. It’s also a great way for noncomics readers to try … Continue Reading →
Oh, “Warehouse 13,” how I’ve missed you. Teasing us by filming extra episodes for season four and then putting a huge gap in the middle is just cruel, Syfy. But that’s been your M.O. for years, so it’s not totally unexpected. But at last the long wait is over with tonight’s half-season premiere, and it’s … Continue Reading →
We’ve had best-selling novels in multiple languages, hit movies and now, Vertigo has been doing a graphic novel version of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.” What’s next? “Dragon Girl: The Musical”? Probably not. (At least I’d hope not.) Vertigo (an imprint of DC Comics) is releasing the second volume of its adaptation of Stieg … Continue Reading →
StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm picks up three weeks after Wing of Liberty stopped, with Kerrigan having been rescued from her life as the Queen of Blades. Well, rescued of a sort, I suppose, and our heroes taking a well-deserved break while she gets used to being human again. Having finally acquiesced to Blizzard’s … Continue Reading →
