Torchwood: ARCHIVES

TORCHWOOD: Archives

After the recent Doctor Who Convention in Cardiff bay, opposite the fountain we all know as 'the hub', we, as the Doctor Who speciality shop that we are, have plenty of interesting, cool, old, new and generally fantastic items for every Whovian! So, for all of you spinoff lovers, we present the Torchwood archives! With only two left in stock, we wanted to let our loyal Guruvians know before they're all gone.

This hardcover provides an in-depth background on the history of Torchwood, from it's foundation by Queen Victoria herself in 1879, the Torchwood personnel, numerous case files on the extra-terrestrial, which go in depth on alien tech and species. And of course, it provides information on that pesky rift that runs through our fair city of Cardiff. It's a full colour hardback, complete with original illustrations. It is a perfect and essential guide for all Torchwood fans.

Outside the police, beyond the United Nations. The Torchwood: Case Files is everything you could have ever wanted to know about Torchwood.

The END of Deadpool Max 2!?

With the end of it's fabulous run, tonight we review the glorious Deadpool Max. Volume 2. The series that has just now ended and completely in stock is quite possibly Deadpool (& company)'s most insane, explicit, not-safe-for-work (NSFW, for us internet types) series ever! The sequel to the equally mental Deadpool Max.

The series follows Wade Wilson and his cohort of many years, Bob, as he discovers a government conspiracy and attempts to stop it. Having set out to do this, they are in turn accused of killing 250,000 people… so now 7,000,000,000 (our Earth's population now) want THEM dead. Having become world's most wanted terrorists 1 & 2 they aim to stay alive and clear their good… err… their names. But with the world after you, and you look like Deadpool… where can you hide!? Blind Al (who isn't blind) and Weasel even make appearances! The whole gang in this 6 issue + Christmas Special run!

We currently have all issues of Deadpool Max 2 in stock, all at cover price and 20% off for members. So if you want to pick up the entire run of the insanity of Deadpool Max 2, well… just like Hydra Bob, overweight on a scooter (issue 3), it's right there!

Star Wars 3D review

For those of us who were too young too appreciate, not born yet or just love this iconic series so much, the re-introduction of Star Wars to our movie screens is more than welcomed, it's anticipated. But the only reason it is… 3D.

I've been to see Star Wars episode one, three times in 3D so far and I feel that's enough to judge this movie in what people are calling the newest 'fad' of 3D. The truth is, adding 3D to a non-3D filmed movie is hard. The dimensions are not quite right and it certainly wasn't filmed to take advantage of the 3D filming, however Star Wars, I feel, has done a good job. Although it doesn't add anything to the experience (except darkening the screen a bit more), it doesn't detract from the film either. The acting from the young Anikin is still awful and Jar Jar, if anything, is just that bit more annoying, but the movie makes up for that with it's amazing special effects, which, if you remember, were amazing for 1999, and almost 15 years later, are still amazing.

However, if you're going to see these movies for the same reason I am, which is to see and enjoy them all on the big screen once again (and because I'm young, for the first time in regards to IV, V and VI) then do what I do… buy some 2D glasses so you can enjoy it properly.

Deadpool... DEAD!?

With part three of Deadpool: DEAD coming out VERY soon, I thought it appropriate to review the entire story arch of my favourite schitzo, Wade Wilson.

The current story arc has seen Deadpool go from literally atoms after being punched by an enraged Hulk, to being in a mental institution in England, where his doctor fell in love with him and kept severed parts of Deadpool past in a fridge, which eventually turned into… Evil Deadpool. Yes, a MORE evil, psychotic, unkillable merc with a deformed mouth… except this one died, from a dart to the neck from a mysterious source. Deadpool wants this serum, not to kill mutants or threaten the Earth… but to finally DIE.

Will he die? Will he finally get his big date with his girlfriend, Death? Will Hydra Bob finally never have to worry about being shot in the leg ever again? And what will the Uncanny X-Force do without their resident psychopath!? Find out in part 3 of 3 of Deadpool: DEAD.

(all available in store and online)
