The Pull List #7 - Pull List Goes Hawaiian [Review]



Did you know there was at one time a proposed sequel to Tim Burton's Beetlejuice titled, I kid you not, Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian? I don't know about you, but I'm not sure if Beetlejuice would've benefited from a tropical setting.

(What does this have to do with the 3-month gap between installments of The Pull List? Nothing at all.)

DC Comics Panel #4 - Superman [SDCC 2012]



It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... DC Comic's fourth panel, this time covering all things Superman!

DC Comics Panel #3 - DC NOW! [SDCC 2012]



DC Comic's third panel of SDCC wrapped last night, and it is a veritable grab-bag of information on most of DC's most popular titles.

More Sandman Coming From Neil Gaiman [SDCC 2012]



If there are two things that I learned from working in a comic shop, it's that 1) there's always going to be ONE guy who is way too particular about how he wants his comics handled (no creases or blemishes, never opened, only touched on the sides with fingertips, placed into a current-sized comic bag with board "shiny side down" with opening at the bottom, NEVER taped shut, immediately placed inside a small brown paper bag, and placed delicately under the counter away from all other books and all sunlight) and 2) just about everyone has read and loves Neil Gaiman's Sandman.

Well good news, Sandman-fans... Gaiman is back at it.

DC Comics Panel #1 - The Dark & The Edge [SDCC 2012]



The first major DC Comics panel just wrapped up, and for the 99% NOT there in San Diego at the moment, here's a recap of what's going on with DC's 'The Dark' and 'The Edge' subsection of comics...

Check Out Some Gamplay Clips For Upcoming 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' [SDCC 2012]



If you like comic books and video games (and if you're reading this, I'd take a guess that you do), you're in luck: NetherRealm Studios has released multiple videos highlighting their upcoming game Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Pizzacast! is BACK!! In this Frankenstein's Monster of a show our intrepid hosts voice concerns over the new Tomb Raider trailer, try to make sense out of DC Comic's "Zero-Issue" event, talk about some Kickstarter campaigns, and finally go over some new movie trailers. Then, we totally lose steam AGAIN as we dip into the PXT Mailbag!

Pizzacast! 05 - Dangerously Close to FanFiction

This week on Pizzacast!... we try to guess who the gay superhero is from DC Comics [NOTE: We were way off. We recorded this a week ago, before DC's official announcement.], E3 pre-coverage, webcomics talk, My Little Pony-fying Final Fantasy VI, Dan Harmon leaving Community, and the rough start for Diablo III, as well as many other many other topics. Plus, we totally lose steam by the end as we read some messages from the PXT Mailbag!

The Pull List # 5 - Pull List Strikes Back [Review]

Hey everyone! Welcome back to The Pull List! Would you believe I started this article THREE WEEKS AGO?

Judging by my track record with this article series, I'd imagine that yes, yes you would believe it. But whatever, I have some good stuff for you this week, including a few new editions to DC's New 52 experiment (New-New 52? Sounds like a line from Dr. Seuss). So let's read some comics!

The Pull List #4 - "The One Where Pull List Fights The Russian" [Review]



Howdy everyone! I'm coming in under the gun with The Pull List this week, and so I don't have time think up a witty opening paragraph. Click the button and LET'S GET TO IT!

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Teaser Trailer

The first teaser trailer for the next installment of the LEGO Batman game franchise hit today, and needless to say I am totally psyched. I'm really surprised the game (or at least this trailer) incorporates actual spoken dialog, which may be a first for the LEGO games.

The Pull List #3 - "Revenge of the Pull List" [Review]



Welcome to the latest installment of The Pull List, a weekly article in which I pick... waitaminute... how long has it been? 3 months?! OK folks, I'll be honest, I kinda got behind on my comics reading. Now, I could give you all a some sob story about how I haven't had time to read comics in a while and how I have been sick constantly since the start of the year, but I'm a much classier guy than that. What matters is that I'm here, you're here, and there are comic books I want to talk about. So LET'S READ COME COMICS!

A First Look at New Teen Titans


A first look at the New Teen Titans shorts that will be a part of Cartoon Network's upcoming DC Nation programing block of all DC Comics related comic.  Looks cute! I like how Raven's body just looks like the wisps of a Pac-Man Ghost, and the line "Here's a thought: Let's make the characters three dimensional" is just priceless.

The Pull List #2 - “Electric Boogaloo” [Review]


 

I'm going to be completely honest, I almost skipped this week's installment of The Pull List. You see, I have been fighting a real killer cold for the last week or so. Headaches, neck aches, nose and throat full of gunk... it's really effected my mood in new and interesting (and when I say interesting, I mean mostly negative) ways. But here I am, ready to review six randomly selected comic books from my weekly subscriptions. And why am I doing this, when I could have just as easily knocked myself out with some cold medicine and fallen asleep while watching reruns of Family Matters? For you, dear readers. All six of you.


Anyway, you're here, I'm sick... let's get this over with.

The Pull List #1- “Pull List Begins” [Review]

[Editors Note] - Hiya, folk! Welcome to Pizza Xtreme Team's first weekly special column, one in which I take a look at six randomly selected comic books from my weekly subscriptions and do super-quick reviews on them. This article will run every Thursday (day after New Releases are out), and I'll also be rating each book as a Buy, Skim, or Pass.


Now, before I begin, there is one little point I'd like to make so that I don't get a deluge of e-mails later. As the weeks go by, those of you who read this column will notice that I will be reviewing more DC Comics books than Marvel, Dark Horse, Boom! Studios, IDW, Image, or any other publisher. No, I am not in any way affiliated with DC Comics. Yes, I enjoy Marvel books a great deal. Yes, I know that I may not read what are widely-regarded as “the best books being made at this time.” Finances being what they are, I simply can't afford to pick up and review a comic outside of my current subscriptions. I'm sorry, I just can't do it.


OK! Enough of the prologue, let's talk about some comics!
