This week's pull list overflows with Spider-Man and X-Men delights—right in my wheelhouse. The Marvel universe dominates, and naturally, Avengers #13 was my immediate choice. However, the culmination of the Orchis War, though promising, faltered at the finish line, leaving a sour taste with its lackluster conclusion that fizzled out like a spent firework. Yet, amid this disappointment, a beacon of hope emerged. My pick for the week shone as brightly as ever, maintaining its consistent quality and delivering the satisfaction I've come to expect. In the tapestry of comic book adventures, there are peaks and valleys, but there's always…

She's new on the scene and with only one song right now, but showing a lot of promise: songwriter, storyteller, sound innovator, bassist, and vocalist. Hailing from the south, ZURI is a 19-year-old music artist from Atlanta, Georgia.

Nation of Violence (Samoa Joe's 5th TNA Theme Song)
This theme is in my top 5 of all wrestling themes. I don't think any other theme has embodied the persona of its character like "Nation of Violence" by Dale Oliver. I love how they start it with his iconic intro and then at the end, drop to a new beat with Oliver's raspy flow. Pure adrenaline.
The word is we're getting Deathclaws in season 2. You had me at "season 2"...

From an early age Norman Sann has had a shine. The backdrop of his beginnings is all too normal these days, but Norman was built differently. Norman Sanchez was born in Houston, Texas to a single mother. His father was serving time in jail and his older brothers were busy making moves in the street. For Norman, the music called louder than the streets. Norman's mother, despite struggles, sought to enroll Norman in acting classes and spent her time introducing him to all creative cultures.

Define My Name
Beginning with his classic debut, Illmatic (1994), Nas has stood tall as one of New York City's leading rap voices, outspokenly expressing a righteous, self-empowered swagger that has endeared him to critics and hip-hop purists. Whether proclaiming himself "Nasty Nas" or "Nas Escobar" or "Nastradamus" or "God's Son," the self-appointed King of New York has battled numerous adversaries, none more challenging than Jay-Z, who vied with Nas for the throne left in the wake of the Notorious B.I.G's 1997 assassination. Such headline-worthy drama has informed his provocative rhymes, delivered with a masterful flow and a wise perspective over beats by…

When Universal Pictures wanted to reboot its Monsterverse, it started (and failed miserably) with the Tom Cruise-led Mummy in 2008. After it failed at the box office, they released the excellent Invisible Man, a smaller, budgeted movie starring Elizabeth Olsen. Now with the release of Abigail, a different take on a 'vampire' movie, it feels like Universal is still working on their verse, but in a sneaky way. But that's fine with me. If Abigail is as good as Radio Silence's last horror film, Ready or Not, I'll be a happy horror fan. Let's go!!!
