Trailer: ‘Infinite Crisis’ Brings MOBA Gameplay to the DC Universe
March 26, 2013 10:06 am TL;DR version is that you control one unit in a team. The objective is to destroy a target which is blocked by turrets and the other team.
Units called creeps continuity flow through the map and you can attack them to level up/use them to absorb damage from turrets. If you die, the other team is rewarded so you have play tactically and not just charge in.
They're quite fun and have room for great depth. 'MOBA' is kind of a useless name but it stuck. Idle Thumbs calls them 'Lords Management Games'.

The Artistic Future of Uncanny X-Men: McKelvie and Chiang
June 1, 2011 7:01 pm McKelvie would be perfect. Phonogram is the book I lend people who don't like comics and they always ask me for the other volume afterwards.

Group Therapy for Completists
May 23, 2011 12:52 pm Good article, I see myself in it for sure. I have noticed that as events have sprawled across entire lines, I have thought 'well, I can't read everything so I'll read nothing' which is probably the opposite of what Marvel/DC intend. I should just pick up the books that look interesting and wiki the rest (if that).
I really enjoyed part one of this article too.

iFanboy #195 – Icons: Jim Lee
January 28, 2011 11:37 am I'm not a fan of Jim Lee (it's fine if you are, just not my thing) but it's a credit to you guys that I found this interesting.
Also I'm off work with a back problem and catching up with the video show is keeping me entertained, so thanks!
