Okay, so...after the utter pointlessness that is a teaser trailer, we have the final Venom trailer and it has some meat to it.

...and well...

MadCap's Table Top Tales - "My Species Doth Protest Too Much"

Alright, so...to start off, this got inspired by a Twitter conversation with @Daddy_Warpig. If you don't follow him, give him a look, he is all about the geeky. The discussion came about because of a Twitter post from another user, and I felt the need to expound on the things said in that conversation because I like reading the sound of my own voice.

Having cropped out their username and avatar so as to keep myself from being accused of inciting harassment (I'm pretty sure this goes without saying, but don't be dicks, people), I'm going to post it here as the case in point for what I'm about to talk about.

Okay. Got all that? Good.

MadCap At the Movies - "Ant-Man and the Wasp"

Just a few short years ago, you were made to believe a man could ant. But the question remained from the post-credits scene of that movie, can a woman wasp?

The answer is yes. And you did believe it.

Spoilers here follow on from both the first Ant-Man film and Captain America: Civil War as well as some late-game spoilers for Infinity War. So, if you've not seen any of those films (and I congratulate the three of you on discovering the internet!) turn back now. After the jump, anything goes...

MadCap's Comic Reviews - "Doctor Strange #4"

In the last issue, Stephen had discovered the deaths of many Sorcerer Supremes throughout the universe and we were given the title of the next story as Death Has Teeth (yet weirdly, we get the title of The Art of Puking Without Puking instead). We have the dread ramping up for the eventual confrontation between Doctor Strange and the insidious forces of the Empirikul, who now know who he is and are zeroing in on. Will it live up to the hype? Well, you’ve all by now read my views on Last Days of Magic, so it should really be a no-brainer now shouldn’t it?

Just like my constant review schedule where I said we’d get into all this “next” Sunday and it’s now three months later.


Oops.
