Hmm, we’re about to talk about comics so it must be Wednesday! Welcome to the RazorFine Comic Rack boys and girls. Pull up a bean bag and take a seat at the master as we look at the new comics set to hit comic shops and bookstores today.
This week includes a trio of Spidey books, some “Civil War” collections, the final issue of 52, and Willow shows up in Buffy Season 8. Find out what else you may miss if you don’t stop by your local comic book shop today.
Here’s issue #19

It’s no secret, Kirsten Dunst is certainly not my favorite actor. She’s a one trick pony, one of those actors who has the same character they play over and over again no matter the part. Now that I’ve got that out of my system she does have quite a list of films that she’s played supporting roles in like Interview With A Vampire, Deeply, Spiderman 1 & 2, Mona Lisa Smile and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, just to name a few.

“With great power comes great responsibility (and 2 sequels).” Hey true believers! It’s Spidey Week here at RazorFine as we gear up to the release of Spider-Man 3 this Friday. All week we’ll mix in some Spidey content with our regular dose of quixotic awesomeness! We’ll take a look at Spidey on the big and small screen and delve into his comic origins and look at some of the best Spidey moments in both print and screen.
Great idea, horrible execution. That’s Next in a nutshell. To start off with the film has much working against it. First off, it’s based on the Philip K. Dick short story “The Golden Man,” and we all know that Hollywood has had mixed success translating his work on screen.

There is a moment, one moment, in the film where a reporter (Angie Miliken) balks at the atrocity of a duel to the death battle royal and blames not only the creators of the show but the worldwide audience for tuning in. For a split second the film takes a stand against decaying morality and standards, and the ill-effects of violence on our world. And then it goes back and celebrates the same type of mindless torture it wanted to condemn for another half-hour. I’ve always said Vince McMahon would strangle babies on stage for quarters if you let him, and here’s the film that proves me right. The Condemned might not be the worst film ever made, but it’s definitely in the conversation.
The set-up, basically stolen from The Running Man (a much better flick in every way possible), involves an unscrupulous television producer (Robert Mammone) who buys up death row inmates from around the world and drops them off on an island to kill each other. The victor wins freedom, a big cash prize, and a trip off the island.
