Start the Day off Right w/Napolean the Legend and La Femme Nakita

Texas is so full of rappers that I found one on a video for DMV'er Napolean Da Legend. He picked up La Femme Nakita for his "riding- around-the- hood-rapping" video Can't Help Myself, where she proceeds to earn the lift by dropping a few bars...

Quick album (p)Review: "The Golden Age" by DPRTMNT

The intro to Canadian hip hop duo DPRTMNT's 22 track album The Golden Age reveals that their name is based on the Canadian superscience agency that produced Wolverine and Alpha Flight. So the nerdcore code says I at LEAST had to give them a try and recommend some good tracks for your hard drive...

Cyclops VS T'challa: FIGHT!!! (sorta)

Okay, so I have no particular evidence that the Black Panther appears in Astonishing X-men #44, but I'm pretty sure that if T'challa walked into his local comic shop and saw this cover, Storm would have some serious 'splainin' to do...

PREVIEW- X-factor #227

I gotta say, this preview of X-factor #227 is pretty educational. For one thing, the team looks as good as ever in the hands of veteran X-scribe Peter David and artist Leonard Kirk (Captain Britain and MI:13, World War Hulk - Warbound). I wouldn't have thought it possible, but Kirk actually makes Hangman look awesome, and he's particularly sympathetic in this preview as well... Y'know, for a walking symbol of hate crime...
