If you are an anime fan and a fan of romance anime in particular, then there is little that is more relatable than a romance series about otaku. Let’s face it, even if we aren’t obsessive about anime to a true otaku level, we all want to be loved for who we are and what we like. Of course, being obsessive about something – games, anime, books, or whatever – leads to a number of funny situations, which in its own way can make otaku romantic comedies highly amusing even if you aren’t in it for the romance. And You Thought There Was Never a Girl Online? Who hasn’t looked for love in their online MMOs at one point or another and got burned by it? This is the starting premise for this series about a boy who thought he found love in his MMO and the character turned out to be a man playing or girl character, or at least that’s what they said.

Welcome to Comic Book Legends Revealed! This is the six hundred and forty-second week where we examine comic book legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for Part 1 of this week’s legends. COMIC LEGEND: DC was already planning a new Robin before Jason Todd was killed. STATUS: I’m Going with False Reader Mark G. wrote in about an old Jim Starlin interview that he read in Comic Buyer’s Guide after Jason Todd was killed following a 1-900 number vote… In it, Starlin was quoted as saying “the death of Robin was planned all along, because DC intends to introduce a new version of the character” Starlin himself has said that he was misquoted, but what I think is really at heart is something I dealt with in a Comic Book Legends Revealed a few years back, namely that while Jason Todd’s actual survival was up for grabs by the voters, it was likely that he was not going to be in the book anymore. For instance, whether he lived or died,

As an actor, when you get tapped to play a superhero, there’s no more joking around — things get serious. You have to give up alcohol entirely, your diet consists of chicken breast, steamed broccoli and protein shakes. You spend hours each day in the gym, all in the name of the movie. You have countless fans of the character that will destroy you if you’re not up to par with their expectations regarding the character, and a lot of these actors work day and night to make sure they look the part. RELATED: Double Duty: 15 Actors Who Were in Both Marvel and DC Movies It’s a lot of stress on the actor who has to get in peak physical form in a short amount of time. It’s not like they are cast 10 years before they film the movie and they have all that time to get in shape — they usually don’t have more that 6 months. And if you’re not in the best shape, it’s a huge challenge. But when you get the chance to be a billion dollar franchise, you’ll do everything it takes to be in the best shape h

Many fans of the 1988 action film Die Hard argue that the classic movie — which takes place on Christmas Eve — is a Christmas movie.

The mighty mutant team of Marvel Comics’ Weapon X may meet their match in December when writer Greg Pak and artist Yildiray Cinar pit Old Man Logan and company against an entire army of super-soldiers. And these aren’t just any super-soldiers — they’re powered by the same fuel that once resulted in Nuke rampaging through Hell’s Kitchen so violently, it took the Avengers to help Daredevil defeat him. RELATED: When Apocalypse Was In Charge of the Weapon X Project While the original man to pop a red pill in order to enhance his military-honed abilities may not be part of the troops opposing the title’s reluctant team, the shadow of Nuke’s influence will certainly loom over the ensuing battle when the Weapon X crew intervenes to stop a mutant genocide.

The Jennifer Lawrence starrer mother!, from director Darren Aronofsky, is angering plenty of moviegoers in its first weekend at the box office. RELATED: Jennifer Lawrence Is a Deadly Spy in Red Sparrow Trailer. Leading up to the film’s release, little has been known regarding the plot other than it being a psychological horror film of sorts hailing from the Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan director.
