Craig Russell"][/caption] Aside from the illustration work by P. Craig Russell, which is outstanding (and almost immediately endearing), my first reaction to the story line of this Neil Gaiman piece was not an entirely appreciative one. The premise felt weak and under-articulated and ... http://www.twoinreview.com/2008/10/30/coraline-2008/ [caption id="attachment_89" align="alignnone" width="194" caption="Mike Mignola"][/caption] As part of our local comic shop's awesome monthly specials, I was recently able to pick up both Vol. 1 and 2 of the first Hellboy series, all of which I had somehow yet to read. I just finished the first volume, and I have ... http://www.twoinreview.com/2008/10/22/hellboy-seed-of-destruction-2003/ [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="445" caption="From Harmonix and EA"] [/caption] Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a huge fan of music games and, more accurately, a huge fan of Harmonix's music games.  I own every game they've worked on since Frequency.  I wholeheartedly believe that Guitar Hero has changed the landscape of ... http://www.twoinreview.com/2008/10/15/rock-band-2/ [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="236" caption="Written by Brian K. Vaughan, Art by Niko Henrichon"] [/caption] It's no secret that Brian K. Vaughan is one of the best writers in the industry.  It's also no secret that his best work comes from his original properties.  Don't get me wrong, his run on Ultimate X-Men ... http://www.twoinreview.com/2008/10/14/pride-of-baghdad/ [caption id="attachment_67" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson, Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day"][/caption] The Patty's Pub gang was back last week with the premiere of Season 4 and it had me laughing all the way through the night. Irreverent, ill-tempered and as foul-mouthed as before (sorry, Mom), this show is just a ... http://www.twoinreview.com/2008/09/27/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia/ [caption id="attachment_61" align="alignnone" width="236" caption="Edgar Allen Poe, Gris Grimly"][/caption] Gris Grimly's dark and brazen visual style (with just a hint of youthful simplicity) is an insanely perfect match for Poe's usual fare of ghastly grim short-stories. Filled with gritty lines, eccentric character designs, and exceedingly authentic word interpretations, you can't help ... http://www.twoinreview.com/2008/09/27/edgar-allan-poes-tales-of-mystery-and-madness-2004/ [caption id="attachment_53" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="a Veer production"][/caption] Bringing exactly what you would expect for a movie with the name of typeface, this film offered a fantastic glimpse into the world of lettering and type and really, the heart of everything I love about being among the realm of "designers". Empowered in his own ... http://www.twoinreview.com/2008/09/18/helvetica-2007/ [caption id="attachment_29" align="alignnone" width="340" caption="Dulé Hill and James Roday"][/caption] Shawn and Gus are back in full force and I am loving every minute of it.

Sadly enough though, keeping with the tradition of X-Files is the one area where I ... http://www.twoinreview.com/2008/07/30/the-x-files-i-want-to-believe-2008/
