As fans of the television show Buffy The Vampire Slayer know, in every television show, video game or movie, there must be a “big bad.” Some nemesis that is so powerful and so outweighs the characters, that you simply must watch/read/play to find out how good can triumph.

Frankly, and I’m sure I am not the only one, but good tends to win a hell of a lot more than evil.  And there is only one bad guy who is the biggest and the baddest.  He is the ruler of the underworld – Satan.

So, this top ten list will be devoted to depictions of Satan in movies, television shows, and video games. The beauty of these lists are that they are subjective. My #1 may not be yours, so feel free to chime in through the comments section below and let me know what your list would be.

Let’s start the countdown, shall we?

Empress works at Collectibles Unlimited in Concord N.H. and knows more about comics than anyone should know. She has boobs and reads comics. What more do you need to know? Empress Sith is here to tell you what’s out and what’s going on this week in comics. Enjoy. ~ Management

The big news out of the week is that Diamond has decided to keep new comics shipping on Wednesdays. There was some talk about moving it, and now they’ve decided retailers can opt-in to Tuesdays, but Wednesday is still New Comics Day.

This is a huge relief to me as I’ve arranged my life for the last fifteen years around new comics on Wednesdays. It’s a great way to get through the rest of the week knowing that you have comics at home to read!

The full release from Diamond is here:

I hope everyone had a great time at Baltimore! A special shout out to my very good friends at COMIC ART HOUSE who were there. And a special fangirl squee to the appearance of James “I made empressith fall madly in love with Starman” Robinson. I wish I could have been there. Next year maybe! (Hey readers, talk Nerdbastards into paying for my tickets and hotel room!).

On to this week’s ship list:

(Guess Who Monday is a weekly feature here at nerdbastards where we challenge you to guess the latest known or lesser known child star of nerd pop culture from the days of yore (70’s, 80’s, 90’s), who have all grown up. Let’s see if you can figure out today’s ‘Guess Who’. )

You creepy, nasty guys have been drooling over this girl since she 12, and trying to make it seem perfectly innocent. “Oh, I’m just saying she’s a pretty girl.” “How old is she again? She looks older” “Yeah…I mean, when she’s OLDER, she’ll be hot.”

Yeah right. You are disgusting, and you’re not fooling anyone. The truth is though, the age of consent laws throughout most of the world are 12-16. USA is one of the few countries that has a high age of consent law.

In fact, Ivana Baquero, our featured ‘Guess Who’ was “legal” 3 years ago, in her home country of Spain when she turned 13, because that’s the age of consent there. But, we’re not here to talk semantics we’re here to see if you can figure out who this Spanish Lolita was famous for. Since none of you can speak Mexican (presumably) we can say the movie upfront with out any worry of you figuring things out ahead of time. The movie in question is “El laberinto del fauno” (It’s Mexican title). OK, maybe a few of you film nerds got it, but what about the rest of you? Any guess on who this dark haired lass is?

WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE NEWEST EPISODE OF “TRUE BLOOD”

Well folks, I’m back from my three week vacation (Special Thanks to Rachel Hill for taking the review reigns)! And after watching the last three episodes in quick succession – what a ride this season has turned out to be.

But enough about the old stuff, let’s get on with what happened on tonight’s second last episode of season three.

First off, I know I have said it before, but I love Pam in every episode she appears in. She really got to kick some ass in the opening, didn’t she?

This episode was all about characters spilling their secrets and exposing true motives, and almost every character had a moment, which is difficult with such a large cast of characters.
