Daredevil on Netflix, Marvel hits another homerun (spoiler free)

                     So the time has finally come, Daredevil has hit netflix after what seems to be a long wait.  I can honestly say it was worth it. Daredevil takes the gritty side of the Marvel universe, the underworld as it were, and brings it to the screen. The interesting thing about how this is handled is that unlike the terrible Ben Affleck Daredevil we all remember this one embraces it's seedy side. It is gritty and dirty but seems much more anchored in a real world mentality than something like the Avengers.
                      Now with all that said Daredevil is not family friendly, it has language and violence as well as some surprisingly adult themes that won't surprise any fan of the original comic, but will certainly be too much for many younger viewers.
                       So the question then becomes is this show any good. I can say with out a doubt yes. It takes pieces from several of the more well known Daredevil stories (including my personal favorite Guardian Devil) and combines them into a narrative that blends a vigilante tale with what many would say is the first street level superhero. I for one am glad to see this taking a darker turn than Guradians of the Galaxy or Avengers and it certainly gives me hope for the rest of the upcoming Netflix Marvel offerings coming next year.

News and Updates

       So this is starting to move along, this morning we are going to look for possible locations for the store.  There will be a kickstarter starting soon to help bring this project to a reality with hopes to get it started in the next couple of months. The store (now called Phantom Planet) will start it's life as a game store (video games, card games, tabletop, wargames, and rpg's) but will have a small area for back issue comics and some graphic novels/manga. As business builds I will be adding new comics to the mix as well.  The store will also have systems in house for rental to play the hottest video games before you buy, we will be doing used and new games.  Expect tournaments for ccg's , wargames, video games, rpgs, and tabletop games. As well as games nights where groups can run their games in house. We also plan to stock basic snacks and drinks for consumption as well.
      To sum this up, yes we are progressing and yes the kickstarter should be live in a few days (I will post on here when it is) We are going to be the hub for all things geek related on the Obx and you guys can help us get there.  The rewards I will be offering are gonna be unique to say the least. So get your dice and controllers ready everyone, Gaming is coming to the Outer Banks.
 

So for those who have been faithful to this blog , I am checking in and letting you know that we are still working hard on getting the shop open, there have been some setbacks along the way but it is our hope that financing will come together this year to make this long standing dream a reality here on the beach. We are locally selling cards and comics via the net, and are ramping up our vintage video game side as well. So as always if we can help you find anything let us know, and  if anyone reading this wants to become an investor in said shop let us know
