Today on the 5: Prior to reading Classic Wolverine, I read the collected X-Men stories from after Dark Phoenix Saga up until Fall Of The Mutants. It remains a great era in the X-Men comic history.

This week:

The Cuckoo's Calling
G.I. Joe: Retaliation
Expendables 2
GITS Arise
Planetary
Emergency Broadcast System

Today on the 5: I have read through the first 2 collections of Classic Wolverine to see how the stories hold up today. I'm happy to say I found this to be a good exploration of Wolverine before he became the center of the mutant universe.

Today on the 5: As part of my anime revival, I finally got a chance to pick up Freedom Project, an OVA series that included work by Katsuhiro Otomo. So far, it's been a solid ride.

Today on the 5: After having such a great time with Blood Dragon, I went ahead and picked up Far Cry 3, the game it was based on. It has not disappointed!

Today on the 5: I saw Darkman pop up on one of our movie channels and had to watch it. It's not quite the movie I remember.

This week Lando takes a break to get well and I ramble on about why I question the Constitution and Superman shouldn't kill anyone.

Today on the 5: I just finished reading The Icarus Effect, a prequel novel to the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. My review.

Today on the 5: Expendables 2 hit Netflix recently, so I made sure to watch it and see if I could make it through without falling asleep. I did!

Today on the 5: I've noticed a shift in how the word traitor is used by the media and the authorities, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one disturbed by it.
