Not so Retro Review: The Amazing Spider-Man

Probably the best way to describe this newest The Amazing Spider-Man game, would be to draw comparisons to Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham X series.  Seeing as how this is basically Spider-Man’s version of the “new” super hero game, I think it’s fairly accurate. This “new” Spider-Man is pulled directly from the movie of the same name, [...]


Spoiler! Spider-Man’s Legacy Lives On

spiderman 700,review,marvel comics,nerd farm blog

Spider-Man #700 I write comic book reviews often, and I feel I do a pretty good job at not spoiling anything about the book to my small audience of readers. Spider-Man #700 has proven to be one of the most difficult books to talk about, as of late, without revealing any spoilers. I understand the [...]


Gwen Stacy Must Die

Gwen Stacy Must Die

The Amazing Spider-Man Blu-Ray Review Admittedly, when I saw this movie in the theater last summer I wasn’t that thrilled. Maybe I was still bummed that I wouldn’t get to see John Malkovich as The Vulture (come on, you know that would have been, for lack of a better word, “amazing”) or maybe I was bummed that I [...]


Deadpool Continues to Kill The Marvel Universe.

Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe #2 Arguably one of the funnest books out there right now, and by funnest I mean down right face melting violence mixed with a little cynicism. In Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe, Deadpool‘s mind has been poked and prodded to see how he ticks one too many times. Now he’s [...]


Burke on Burke Be Nice: AvX, Deadpool, PAX, and Snake!

Yo ho ho! I thought since it’s been a really long time since the last “Pics O’ The Week” and even a “Nerd Farmcast“, I’d start a new segment called “Burke on Burke Be Nice”. It’s kind of my soapbox or thoughts on anything that’s happened over the last week. It may be funny, it [...]


Spider-Man’s Fate in Avengers vs X-Men #9.

Avengers vs X-Men “Round 9″ Easily the most exciting and stress driven Marvel comic on the market right now, the Avengers vs X-Men series has taken each hero, including the more powerful Phoenix Five, to their breaking point. One team member of the Phoenix Five, Namor, in attempts to single-handedly  destroy Wakanda and the Avengers [...]


The Dark Knight Sinks to New Lows

Admittedly I am not a huge fan of comic books, but I am a fan of Batman. So when I heard another Batman “cartoon” had been given the green light I was kind of interested until I saw it was going the way of CG instead of traditional animation. I have always found any computer [...]


Ends of the Earth with Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

The Amazing Spider-Man #682  “Ends of the Earth” Part One: My World on Fire Man that’s a lot of titles, almost makes it sound as epic as this story is going to be.  Spider-Man has been a very impressive book as of late, with this storyline being no exception.  Parker believes things are finally going [...]
