Batman: Arkham Asylum Interview Pt. 2

Kevin Conroy might stun with the awesomeness of his voice acting as Batman, but Paul Dini is someone many fans, including myself, admire. His creativity spans years and never ceases to be fresh and entertaining. I’ve interviewed Dini before, but never face-to-face, so it was a pleasure to talk to him about his storytelling in Batman: Arkham Asylum, which comes out this Tuesday. (Holy guano, Batman!)

Yeah, if Dini wrote it, you know it’s gonna be good. So rest assured, gamers.

You can read my interview with Paul Dini over at the Girls Entertainment Network. Part 3 with Rocksteady Studios developer Sefton Hill should be up on Monday.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Interview Pt. 1

One of my life dreams has been accomplished—marked off the list of to-dos: I met Kevin Conroy. And interviewed him, no less! Hearing Conroy talk on recorded interviews, and even hearing his voice as Batman on television or in Batman: Arkham Asylum, doesn’t do the real thing justice. He truly commands a room, and his laugh holds so much authority and power, it’s almost intimidating.

You can check out my interview with Batman over at the Girls Entertainment Network.

Review: London Horror Comic #3

So I’m bummed. London Horror Comic, the horror anthology book by John-Paul Kamath, ended way too soon with its third issue.

You can find out why in my review of the issue over at the Girls Entertainment Network, although I urge all of you to buy the triple deal at the comic’s website (details in the review). Plus, I was quoted on the back of the latest issue. That brightened my day!
