Each and every week, I, “I’m Tired” Henchman21, and “I’m Sick” Empress Eve read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible”¦ theoretically. Naturally, we look forward to some more than others. I mean, who doesn’t? So, let’s take a look into the depths of our pull lists, grab some comics, and we’ll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of July 31, 2013. Single issues and trades, they’re all here.

Well, we’re all caught up from a busy week at SDCC, which is why we missed the list last week. And as much as you missed us, we missed you, oh humble reader, twice as much. But it’s another week and it’s time to get back to it, so here we are with a mighty stack of books for you. It’s a month with five Wednesdays, which means it’s a bit of an odd week, with DC dropping five annuals (Animal Man, Batman, Detective Comics, Flash, and Superman) as well as a Director’s Cut for the first issue of Batman Year Zero. On the other hand, Marvel is just dropping a standard set of books, with plenty of good series getting new issues, including their best series, Daredevil. And then we get the odd mix from everyone else, which I will dive more into shortly. Oh, and then Batman Inc #13 brings Grant Morrison’s 7-year relationship with Batman to a close. So there’s that. And the end of Batman Inc means we get a special appearance by Mr. MK2Fac3! We’ve got that and much more in another amazing edition of The GoD List!

Universal Bluetooth Tablet Keyboard Dock

Recently, the fine folks at GearZap.com offered us the opportunity to review some of the products from their Galaxy Tab 3 accessories line, and I got my grubby little hands on a Universal Bluetooth Tablet Keyboard Dock. I already own a bluetooth keyboard that I use for virtually everything, but I was really curious how this one would stand up to my needs. Too many of these universal keyboards fail to live up to their claims. I’ve tried a few of them and found them wanting. But I try to give everything a fair shake, so here goes.

Now, to be fair, I didn’t expect to see the unit very quickly at all since they are based in the United Kingdom. Imagine my surprise when the keyboard showed up four days later. I have to admit, I was amazed it had gotten to me so fast. It was well packaged and suffered only minor denting to the item’s box. I was less than impressed with the plain white box in which the keyboard was packaged, it looked cheap and generic. But looks can often times be deceiving, especially with this one.

The unit itself is made for up to 10-inch tablets. It’s got a nice weight to it, definitely setting it apart from most other generic keyboards. The slot that holds the tablet is fixed in size, so no moving parts to break. The keys are solid and feel just as nice as the average laptop keyboard, though at about 80% of the overall size. A charging cable was included, but it’s a generic mini-USB connection so you can use pretty much any other one to recharge the unit.

Netflix is preparing to remove Star Trek III: The Search For Spock from its extensive movie database because they reportedly feel that the version they currently have does not have authentic enough subtitles for the Vulcan and Klingon dialogue.

And I’ll be honest with you, even though I own this movie on DVD and Blu-ray (and VHS), I totally panicked when I read this news and immediately went into my Netflix Instant Queue where, of course, Star Trek III: The Search For Spock perpetually sits at the #2 slot (behind Star Trek III: The Wrath Of Khan) and watched the movie. The version currently streaming on Netflix that I watched had no subtitle translations for the Klingon and Vulcan dialogue, of which there is plenty, so unless you’ve seen this 1984 movie a million times like me, then you might find it hard to follow.

Eileen Brennan, an actress who successfully was able to do musical theater and then land somewhat of a niche in comedic roles, and is probably most remembered for her portrayal of a ball busting Captain in Private Benjamin, has died at the age of 80 after a lengthy battle with bladder cancer reports USA Today.

Brennan first cut her teeth in the acting community with various Broadway stints, she had showcased a penchant for singing with light comedy, as evidenced by her Obie winning performance in the 1960 New York production of Little Mary Sunshine. Hello Dolly was also part of her resume, and she then rounded out the decade with some theatrical films and appearances on TV variety programs, mainly the smash hit Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. That led to more TV, programs as genre stretching as All in the Family, the gritty cop drama Kojak, the soppy nautical light fare The Love Boat and others. She exhibited a versatility, which kept her employed prolifically as a utility character actress in Hollywood.

The collected edition of Sherlock Holmes: Victorian Knights gathers the story of the Sidney Street Spectre and the Dancing Demon, two new Sherlock Holmes stories imagined by Ken Janssens. Originally released in four volumes, it follows the investigation of a murdered prostitute in what appears to be a haunted boarding house.

After being mistaken for the Black Spectre and attacked on the way home from another case, Holmes and Watson learn of a murdered woman whose body has just been found. Arriving on the scene even before the authorities have been called, Sherlock quickly proves it wasn’t a ghost that killed the woman of fright, but something much more sinister. From there, we get to go to the countryside to investigate a young man’s death, supposedly at the hands of the dancing tree demon.
