“The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis”

By Jonathan O'Neal | Apr 17, 2020 | Reviews

In the early days of the quarantine (or perhaps it was during the spring break staycation—who can remember?), I visited my comic book themed Amazon wish list, determined to pull the trigger on its longest-tenured resident. The dubious honor went to “The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis,” languishing there for almost a decade. Written by Ian […]

“Casanova” #1

By Jodi Odgers | Apr 16, 2020 | Reviews

“Casanova” is such a well-constructed piece of comic fiction that, instead of talking about a whole volume of what is now a nearly fourteen-year-old comic, this review will focus on just the first issue. Hopefully, this small taste of the madness that the creative team has created will be enough to entice you into diving […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “Wicked Little Town”

By Elias Rosner | Apr 16, 2020 | Television

So. . .remember how I slagged off The CW’s schedule for putting this episode off for a month (and then an additional week?) Yeah, turns out it was because someone on set had Covid-19 and production was halted. I hope everyone on set was safe and healthy and the ones who were not have since recovered. The same is true for you, dear readers.

“DMZ” Vol. 1

By Matthew Blair | Apr 16, 2020 | Reviews

Let’s take things back to the year 2006, a simpler time when all we ever had to worry about was global terrorism, two massive and illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the end of personal liberty as we know it, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe was still a year away. But hey, at least Americans […]

“Daytripper”

By Christopher Egan | Apr 16, 2020 | Reviews

It’s hard to believe that “Daytripper” first premiered ten years ago in its original ten issue format before being collected in both a trade paperback and simply stunning deluxe hardcover edition. Fábio Moon & Gabriel Bá’s masterpiece of life, death, and everything in between is still as poignant and beautiful as it has ever been. […]

“Young Avengers” Vol. 1: Sidekicks

By Michael Govan | Apr 16, 2020 | Reviews

I bought my very first comics way back in fifth grade. One of those comics was an issue of, you guessed it, “Young Avengers”. Issue number two to be exact. This title blew my mind back then and some fourteen, fifteen odd years later, it still holds up. The whole YA run is pretty good […]
