And by Sex Criminals, I mean the critically acclaimed comic book series by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky. And not the…you know…other type of sex criminals… Sex Criminals tells the story of Suzie, a young woman who discovers that she can freeze time when she orgasms. It’s not until she meets and bumps uglies with Jon that she discovers that she isn’t the only one with this ability. Together, Suzie and Jon set out on a mission to save their local library by pulling off a series of bank robberies. As you’d imagine, there is a […]]]> http://electricsheep.co.za/sex-criminals/feed/ 0 http://electricsheep.co.za/x-men-days-of-future-past/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=x-men-days-of-future-past http://electricsheep.co.za/x-men-days-of-future-past/#comments Sat, 24 May 2014 11:45:39 +0000 http://electricsheep.co.za/?p=432 X-Men: Days of Future Past is pretty ambitious. The latest installment of the X-Men franchise aims to merge the original X-Men trilogy with the excellent X-Men: First Class prequel. By taking advantage of the time traveling elements of the original Days of Future Past storyline, it’s also aims to erase the worst parts of the previous X-Men movies (namely X-Men: The Last Stand) while keeping the good parts (namely Hugh Jackman and the cast from First Class). The good news is that Days of Future Past largely succeeds on both accounts. While it is not perfect, it is definitely one of […]]]> http://electricsheep.co.za/x-men-days-of-future-past/feed/ 2 http://electricsheep.co.za/marvel-unlimited-review/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=marvel-unlimited-review http://electricsheep.co.za/marvel-unlimited-review/#comments Tue, 06 May 2014 08:34:18 +0000 http://electricsheep.co.za/?p=409 My initial attempt to review the Marvel Unlimited app turned into a rant about the merits of digital comics versus real comics. At the time, the Marvel Unlimited App was poorly designed and extremely buggy. But one year later, I can honestly say that Marvel Unlimited has become one of my favourite and most used apps. And after a recent and major update to the app, I think it’s finally time to do a proper review. The App: Marvel Unlimited is an annual subscription-based service that gives you access to roughly 13,000 digital comics that can be read on your […]]]> http://electricsheep.co.za/marvel-unlimited-review/feed/ 0 http://electricsheep.co.za/digital-comics-vs-real-comics/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=digital-comics-vs-real-comics http://electricsheep.co.za/digital-comics-vs-real-comics/#comments Tue, 30 Jul 2013 07:57:23 +0000 http://electricsheep.co.za/?p=90 by @adamskikne A few months back, I signed up for Marvel Unlimited, a relatively new service that provides on-demand access to thousands of digital comics from Marvel that you can read online, on your phone or on your tablet. The service offers an all access pass to the Marvel Universe and costs about R500 a year, which is incredible value for money. I initially signed up for the service with great hopes of writing a review on Electric Sheep. Unfortunately, my review of Marvel Unlimited is pretty simple: It’s a potentially great service plagued by buggy mobile apps There is […]]]> http://electricsheep.co.za/digital-comics-vs-real-comics/feed/ 0
