The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the sequel to the re-booted Spider-Man franchise. Seeing the first Amazing Spider-Man is not a must as they re-explain the two plot threads that were brought over from the first movie but hold onto your wallets as this amazing story might not be what you expected.

Captain America, Spycraft at its Best
Spoiler Free!
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an exciting sequel to the first film. The timeline places the action after The Avengers and Thor: Dark World in the Marvel movieverse. If you haven’t seen Thor the Dark World you’ll still understand everything that’s going on in the movie. I do recommend viewing the other two movies first. If you’re trying to introduce comic haters or newbies to the movies then this is going to be your holy grail film. It fully encompasses a real world 21st century feel and is jam packed political intrigue and epic spy games.

Su: 11am – 6pm
First Impression:
Walking into Pop Culture is kind of like walking into a small cave. Immediately I felt claustrophobic and that remained an ongoing theme as I browsed through the store. Pop Culture’s Tempe location carries a little bit of everything. I saw shirts, toy collectibles, comics, board games, RPGs, and the basic TCG’s here. However I felt like they weren’t really strong in any single category but don’t get me wrong that doesn’t mean I won’t go there again. I feel like the store just needs a good reorganization and direction. Otherwise their staff was very friendly and you can order most anything you need here. In fact I’ve ordered several comics from them in the past and had great service.

Su: 12pm – 10pmFirst Impression:
Gamer’s Inn is a far cry from what it used to be but that doesn’t mean it deserves all the negative reviews I’ve seen on the web. From what I’ve been told, the owner has moved most of their sales to their internet based store. So they simply don’t offer the same products they used to and they have changed their store front to reflect that. In short Gamer’s Inn is no longer mecca for Pen and Paper gamer’s but a hub for Magic the Gathering and Warhammer.

I called down to Game Depot expecting them not to have the games i was looking for. However to my surprise they had both games in stock. I said thank you and then waited until my shift was over to run down there. I picked out several games and went up to the cashier, David. He asked me about a few of the expansions i had picked up, insuring i already had the originals before i bought them. He also asked if i was the one who called on the phone earlier this morning and than apologized for one of the games i had asked about being out of stock. He said that another person had come in and picked it up before i got there and next time i call down i should ask them to put it on hold for me. Over all my visit was a kind and informative one.
