Synopsis:
Mac is injured in the line of duty and Roy seeks the help of another detective with a tough case.
Review:
While reading The Fix #2 I think the best way I could describe the characters of Mac and Roy would be the idiot savants of crime! Nick Spencer has found an amazing story here that allows these dumb crooked cops to pull off amazingly well executed plans. The kicker is that it totally works. It doesn’t feel forced or some ridiculous Dues Ex Machina to save the day- Roy’s horrible ideas just somehow turn out to be successes. I genuinely love everything about these two disgusting characters! I’m constantly wondering what terrible idea these two are going to come up with next, knowing I can sit back and enjoy every minute of reading it.
This time around Mac gets his hand shot, a potentially great cop goes down thanks to Roy,...

From the creators of The Superior Foes of Spider-Man, comes a story of the crooked cops, scheming mobsters, and corrupt politicians that run things—and the sex toy that can bring them all down. Oh, and the hero is a drug-sniffing beagle named Pretzels. Bad people do bad things to each other in this frenetic, outrageous, sometimes off-putting caper!

The man practically has a new issue coming out every week and then some and this case is no exception with the release of his collected miniseries, Terrible Lizard. The story follows one Jessica Anders, the lonely only child to a brilliant scientist experimenting with time distortion. Fed up with being confined to her father’s sterile military contracted lab, Jess finds herself befriending a tyrannosaurus rex whom she develops a mental link with, naming him Wrex.

Judge Dredd: Mega City 2 – City of Courts #1, Director’s Cut
Written by Douglas Wolk
Art by Ulises Farinas and Colours by Ryan Hill.
Published by Idw Publishing
This 52-page issue is the first in a five part series that sees Judge Dredd working in Mega City 2. Very much a fish out of water and frustrated by MC2′s relaxed laws and safety-conscious bullets, Dredd is hunting down creeps while being shadowed by a television crew who just add to his problems. This miniseries is set in 2094, twenty years before the horrors of Judgement Day and having the opportunity to see this less oppressive, more colourful mega city before the tragedy is great, especially for those versed in Judge Dredd lore.
This is critic Douglas Wolk’s first entry into comics and his writing moves the story forward quickly but yet never feels rushed. Ulises Farinas’ incredibly detailed panels when...

The Sundance Film Festival is now over and here is the recognition. Sundance Film Festival announced the Jury, Audience, Next! And other special award-winners during a ceremony in Park City, Utah. Highlights of the awards ceremony can be seen on the Sundance’s web site here. The Jury Awards were selected in four categories, including U.S. Dramatic Competition, U.S. Documentary Competition, World Cinema Dramatic Competition and World Cinema Documentary Competition. The Audience Awards were selected by the festival’s audiences. “Success at Sundance can be measured in terms of attendance, sponsorships, acquisitions, even the weather,” said Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper in a press release. “Ultimately, it’s about the films themselves – were they well received? Did they resonate with the audience enough to have a life beyond these 10 days? And this year, the answer is resounding yet.” The film festival featured 118 films, representing 29 countries and 40 first-time filmmakers.
