Inside Number 9 (Review)

The classic dark humor from two of  the League of Gentlemen, Inside Number 9 is a series of self contained shorts that all revolve in some way around a building or room with the number 9.

In all episodes (except one come to mention it)  Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton star alongside a wave of classic comedy actors and actresses, with appearances from Tasim Greg, Anne Reid, Mark Wootton and Katherine Parkinson and a host of others. They also have many layers of twisted humor for the macabre fan and classic bickering. However some episodes are more drama than comedy, with comedy being used to numb and lighten tenser scenes.

This show is great to watch; either in the dark on a scary night or with friends, it will appeal to fans of the more edgier and dark drama/comedy.

Jimmy Olsen (Injustice Gods Among Us)

Injustice Gods Among Us #1

Jimmy and Lois wait at the docks for a corrupt governor to show up at night. Jimmy declares that the governor is not coming, but Lois tells him that they should wait for 10 more minutes. Jimmy asks who turns up to their own anonymous tip late and makes a joke that "if I had an hours sleep for every anonymous tip  we've followed to nothing, I'd be a far more well rested person." Lois tells him to be quiet as someone is coming and he prepares his camera. When he comments on the fact that the figure that had arrived was not the governor, a gun is pointed at the lens and is shot, destroying the camera and killing him.

In #2 Superman investigates Lois' disappearance and discovers Jimmy's dead body with a bloody Joker card.

He makes his only living appearance in #1, where he is murdered by the Joker. His corps is found in issue #2.

Injustice Gods Among Us Comics- Review

This series chronicles the relationship between Batman and the rest of the Justice League after the fall of Metropolis and how Superman begins his journey to becoming the villain he is.

This series I love and it is a great way of showing the how dark someone can get if they let revenge become their only motovation in life. The first severa chapters deals with Superman hunting down the Joker after he kidnapps Lois, leading to the events of Injustice. The next chapters are about Aquaman and how the Justice League stop him from attacking people who were whaling. Then in the next chapters Superman begins his reign over criminals. 

There are 36 issues in total and if I go through them individually in this review it will take too long, so I would recommend reading them. They are truelly briliant and are just as good as the later, Year 2 series.

If you want to read the first issue you can find this series on (Redemption Mode) as well as other issues both old and new.

Injustice Gods Among Us (Video Game) Review

I love this game.... no matter how much it infuriates me when I get shot constantly by Green Arrow from half way across the map. 

This game, coming out in 2013, is like Mortal Combat with Dc Characters. 

Everything about this game is great.I love the story mode, where you basically have to take down an evil, oppressive version of Superman, who has taken over Earth and turned it into his vision of "Justice." The battle's are really intense, taking care to add in little references to the characters for most. The S.T.A.R Labs side missions, although highly annoying for me (as I have the hand-eye coordination of a bear) are still really fun and do help to try and master moves you find hard to achieve in game.

It's multi-player is what really stands out though. It is great not just for the competitive gamer, but anyone who just wants to have a laugh. Whether it's Killer Frost or Shazam, the battles can always go to anyone if they use the right combination. Not what my brother says "It's just a load of hitting buttons."

Overall this is a great game and has gotten me into playing more types of these games.
