With a name like Victory's Hop Devil, you'd think you'd be getting a pretty potent IPA. Strangely enough, it actually seems more malty than hoppy and is far too smooth to be a demon's brew. It's copper colored and copper flavored with the standard soft citrus tang and medium carbonation. While decently refreshing, it fails to deliver much of a punch and has a fairly weak 6.7% ABV. It's not quite a butter face, maybe more of a fifty footer with @#$%-tons of makeup or just a fairly hot girl who talks a big game but has cold fish syndrome when it counts. I suppose you could drink it with a paper bag over your taste buds. Ok, maybe it's not actually that bad, but don't believe the hype. Hopefully Victory's Hop Wallop puts their money where their mouth is. (C+)

New Comic Book Day XV
Due to Labor Day, new books were pushed back to Thursday this week, but they seemingly have the potential to be worth the wait. We'll get to see Simon Pegg versus the horny Robo-Batman, Hulk versus a little Asian kid, former mutants versus the dawning of the age of Aquarius, Beast versus drugs, and MODOK versus a pimple. Could you imagine? That zit would be the size of the Epcot Center. The most anticipated book, however, has got to be Doktor Sleepless #2 by Warren Ellis, the king of everything that makes me happy. The world wants to know where their jet-packs and flying cars are and a Mad Scientist with a pirate radio station is here to help them find the answer. Also, this week sees the release of the first issue of Joe Q's overblown quest to de-marry Peter Parker and Mary Jane. Seriously, who's supposed to do Spider-Man's laundry now? Whatever, I'm sure as hell not buying it. Bring on Dan Slott and just kill that old bag Aunt May once and for all.

The Return
That's right folks, the NFL's 2007 kickoff is just one day away. The Colts will look to make martyrs of the Saints at 8:30 pm EST on NBC Thursday night as they start their bid to repeat as Super Bowl champs. Meanwhile, the Bears will tear through LT's house on Sunday afternoon as they face off against the overrated Chargers. While San Diego and New England are going into the season as everybody's favorites to win, everybody is clearly a douche bag. The Bears have relatively the same squad, with little competition in the pathetic NFC, and the Colts may have questions on the defensive end, but no more so then they did last year. Look forward to a Super Bowl rematch, but hopefully with a less drunk Rex Grossman... or heaven forbid Kyle "Jack Daniels Is My Lifeblood" Orton.
