Darkest Comic Book Storylines
Comic books may have started out as something that was meant to be sold to children alongside packs of bubblegum, but in the past few decades the audience for comics has grown-up with them. Publishers have all been tackling this demand for more mature darker content to try and feed a fan base looking for a little something more then just the standard superhero heroics in their usual comic book storylines. Writers like Alan Moore and Frank Millar have managed to elevate the medium by tackling more mature stories and themes. These deconstructions have gone a long way towards expanding the market for comic books and have given the fans some of the darkest comic book storylines of all time. We've collected a few of our personal favorites.

Greatest Video Game Soundtracks
Video game soundtracks are perhaps the most underrated part of any video game. Usually, critical criteria will venture far more towards the gameplay or presentation, but rarely an in depth dissection of the soundtrack. Soundtracks not only are key to creating a mood in video games, but they are usually excellent pieces of music in their own right. This is a flaw we seek to reprimand with our list of greatest video game soundtracks.

Best 'American Horror Story' Seasons
American Horror Story brought more than chills, thrills, and screams to the screen when it began in 2011. While those things were present and accounted for, as expected of a horror show, American Horror Story brought a new kind of television to the masses. The makers of American Horror Story brought us a series where a different story is told each season, with many of the same actors but a new setting with a new plot. This is not entirely new, but it’s something that’s been missing from television for quite some time. Thus, American Horror Story brings the return of the anthology television series and the advent of other shows that will take this template and bring it into other genres.
