When Hannibal was announced as a new television show nobody could have guessed what a success it would become, most worried that it would take their much-loved character and do evil remake things to him. All worry faded with the introduction of Hannibal as portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen, his portrayal brought us a new Hannibal […]
So, at least for Nerdly, Play Blackpool 2015 is over for another year. As I write this it’s Sunday night and Play’s doors have closed for the day – however it is on for one more day, the first time the event has been a three-day affair in its history) There may be other “Play” […]
The Road to WrestleMania continues with the first WWE Fastlane PPV. By the end of this pay per view we should have a clearer view of what Wrestlemania will have in store for us, and hopefully we’ll have seen some interesting and entertaining matches and angles too. On paper it looks like it could be […]

Creator Rachel Deering has used Kickstarter to try and raise funds to get the title self […]
Stars: Chun Woo-hee, In-seon Jeong, So-Young Kim, Yeong-ran Lee | Written and Directed by Lee Su-jin When watching movies we tend to expect them to explain things to us, almost in the assumption that we should be comfortable in knowing exactly where the film is going and what it wants from us as the audience. Some films […]
Written by Ian Edginton | Art by Alex Sanchez, Ed Anderson | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Hardback, 112pp Officially a prequel to the wildly popular, or at the least very well marketed, computer game The Evil Within, this graphic novel from Titan Books seeks to add a little more depth to that particular world.

Written by George Mann | Published by Titan Books | Format: Paperback, 352pp George Mann’s pulp thriller does a lot to recapture the thrill of the early days of the genre. But in the Age of the Superhero, is that enough? We live in the Age of the Superhero in media. That’s beyond doubt – […]
A month since WrestleMania 31 and we arrive at Extreme Rules, the PPV that WWE claim is their time once a year to “go extreme”. The PG era has meant that “extreme” in the current WWE climate is very different to what it meant back in ECW or during WWE’s TV-14 run, but there’s still […]
“It’s only a name. Quite an easy burden to bear.” Let’s start with a temple. Its priests have no names, its god has no prayers, and the house jam is Mandel and Altman’s “Suicide Is Painless” on endless repeat. The High Sparrow is a paranoid, spine-tingling, and grotesquely enjoyable episode of television in which identities […]
“Stop struggling. You won.” The Sterling-Cooper dream team has died and gone to advertising heaven. Jim Hobart enunciates the name “Coca Cola” like he’s asking Don and the other partners how they enjoyed their simultaneous touchless orgasms, but in reality he’s stealing their name, tossing probably half their employees out into the street, and consigning them […]

It’s fair to say as a gamer I was VERY late to the joys of a Sony-made console. I didn’t own a Playstation until the release of the smaller form-factor PSOne, which coincided with the launch of the PS2. But that didn’t stop me from voraciously collecting and playing a whole heap of original Playstation […]
Written and Drawn by Des Taylor | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Although I am familiar with artist/ illustrator Des Taylor, mainly through his fantastic retro Superman illustrations, I have not seen his work in a honest-to-goodness sequential art comic book before so approached this offering from Titan Comics with some excitement. […]
Garnet: “Start with the letter N.” Connie: “Huh, okay. What next?” Garnet: “The letter O.” Steven Universe giving love at first sight the brushoff feels kind of shaky just a few weeks after the show waxed rhapsodical about it in ‘Story for Steven.’ Granted, Jaime the Mailman cuts an especially dismissable figure with his overblown confessions of […]
When YouTube was created I’m sure the plan wasn’t for people to watch bite sized amounts of comedy picking up the best skits from television shows from all over the world, but this is one way that I tend to watch the funniest comedians, and it was the first time I’ve really seen any of […]

Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Paul Bettany, James Spader | Written and Directed by Joss Whedon You’re probably all well-aware of the plot to Avengers: Age of Ultron by now, given just how many trailers, posters and […]
When Fifty Shades of Erotica was announced it was obvious that the release was timed to gain some exposure from the release of Fifty Shades of Grey, maybe even gain some purchases from the fans looking to branch out into the world of the naughty. There are other audiences for the DVD though, and not just those […]
I’ll admit that I’m not the most sociable of gamer, I’d rather play solo and concentrate on my own game, building up progress and enjoying things at my own pace. There are games that push for co-operative play and create addictive chaos to push unsociable people like me into playing with friends. Bloodsports.TV is one […]
