I really enjoyed Warren Ellis’ first newuniversal mini-series (read the review) and his take on the updated New Universe concept.  Spinning out of that are a new second season entitled newuniversal: shockfront (read our review of the first issue) and a series of one-shots beginning with this one examining the previous celestial event known as “the Fireworks” and how Philip Voight killed the Marvel Age before it ever began.

As a spin-off to the successful, though increasingly tedious, Angel After the Fall (read our review of the first three issues) Spike gets his own four-issue mini-series by the same team of Brain Lynch and Franco Urru devoted to Spike and Fred’s early days after Los Angeles goes straight to Hell (literally)!  Check out our review of the first two issues inside the Full Diagnosis.

Truly demented and unbelievably funny there are few shows on television which make me laugh like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  The show’s third season including such memorable episodes as “The Gang Finds a Dumpster Baby,” Sweet Dee’s Dating a Retarded Person,” and “The Gang Solves the North Korea Situation,” is coming to DVD.  Always pushing the envelop of good taste (and often going far beyond) the show is insanely wrong, and oh so right.  Check out our review for Seasons 1 & 2 on DVD.  The Complete Third Season box set will hit shelves September 2nd.  Fans can find some of the season’s most memorable NSFW inside the Full Diagnosis.
