Poker Night 2 Comes To IOS

Poker Night 2 is now available on iOS devices for $4.99. I'm telling you this because it's a pretty awesome game as it combines several characters into one awesome pie. Here's the details, but I'd actually recommend you buying it on a game console, but if you don't have the choice then go for it either way.

Telltale Games' Poker Night 2 is finally ready for launch on the iOS App Store for just $4.99 USD!  Taking the fifth seat at the table, players will be joined by an all-star cast:

Comixology's Submit Releases: 5/22/13

Another week and another batch of Comixology Submit titles. We actually have a few of these already reviewed! We'll link you as you get to them, but in the meantime check out the new creator owned titles and support what looks interesting. We're going to do our best to get a few more of these reviewed for you so check back later.

The Accelerators #1

Written By R.F.I. Porto - Drawn By Gavin P Smith, Jeremy Schneider - Pages: 29, SRP: $2.99

Two time travelers, Alexa and Bertram, pursue each other through the decades in a deadly cat-and-mouse chase. She is the last survivor of a 1960s research project studying time travel; he is a soldier desperate to wipe out any trace of Alexa's research, including perhaps Alexa herself. Each of them is armed with a time machine, but these machines have a very special rule: They can only move forward in time, never backward. To save herself, Alexa must leap further and further into the future, with Bertram never far behind. Caught in the crossfire between Alexa and Bertram is Spatz, a teenager from the 1990s who tries to help Alexa but instead gets dragged along with her into another time. In this nightmarish future, everyone has their own personal time machine and people pass the time watching gruesome spectacles such as the Time Games, a gladiator-style death match that kidnaps unwitting combatants from throughout history and forces them to fight each other for sport. Now, they must survive the Time Games and escape from this surreal dystopia.

The Children's Vampire Hunting Brigade #1

Written By David Blake Lucarelli - Drawn By Christopher Matteson, Henry Ponciano - Pages: 29, SRP: $3.99

Gavin and Doug are two juvenile delinquents who are drinking in a cemetery one night when they meet a strange old man who tells them a story about a vampire that can't possibly be true…or can it?

IDW's big TMNT story line "City Fall" is coming new week and to tease it even further, they've released the covers for the entire story arc. The first couple you might be like, "yeah whatever", but then when you get to the last two... pants meet deuce. I can't wait until this hits and you can expect a group review for at least the first chapter, but likely the entire damn thing. Check out the rest after the jump.

Avatar Press To Announce Jonathan Hickman's God is Dead At Phoenix

 

I'm going to take a guess and say that this is about to be Avatar Press' biggest selling title of the year. Holy fuck I shit my pants when I read Hickman and Avatar Press in the same sentence. Why? Well, I guess you'd have to know the type of books that Avatar produces to get this, but it's crazy trust me.

According to Bleeding Cool (owned by Avatar Press), the series is a six issue mini. It's about Gods returning to earth and seeing what's happened in their absence and then dividing the earth up. Humans being humans, fight back. It hits in September and I can't wait to see if any art is revealed at Phoenix Comic Con this weekend. Lastly, I'm sure there is going to be a lot of inter-office turmoil on who gets to review this series.

Review: The Sixth Gun #31

I love westerns and this story right now is my number one series. It’s not just gunslingers, thieves and lawmen, but packed with more elements. So put on your cowboy hat boots and saddle you horse and enjoy the ride.

Becky is being hunted by Skinwalkers while she’s in the spirit realm. They have hunted her down killing her spirit animal and now corner her in the caverns. Becky doesn’t go down easy using everything at her disposal except the six because it is powerless here.  As she strays from the path the perils increase, but she has help to survive. The six appear in all shape and size not just as guns, but any weapon like axes and clubs.

Drake is expressing his concern about Becky’s life as she has appeared to him. The tribe and elders can’t protect her from the Skinwalkers in the spirit realm only from the physical. Now the crew is off for their next mission the help Becky survive by going to the camp of the Skinwalkers. Confronting them there will save Becky’s life.

Review: The Deep Sea (One-Shot)

Stories involving the seas are something that has always intrigued me. I think a main reason to this is that even though we aspire to push as far as we can go away from our own planet, there are still so many mysteries under the surface of our doorstep. Even though the oceans may be a focal point to a story, any genre can use it as a canvas so you don't know what you may get.

The story would most likely fit into the mystery genre with a turn of almost horror towards the end. An elderly man by the name of Paul Barry has been approached by some people to come out and meet them on a ship from his past. Paul then narrates his story, a young team of deep sea scientists were descending in a diving bell (he was meant to go as well, but injured his leg), something happened, ripping off the crane and they were reported dead fifty five years prior. Or so the world thought, turns out those young scientists have been found and nothing about them has changed since that day. Paul reconnects with his old love and the ship then comes under attack from a giant monster, with reports it has happened to all ships in the area.
