X-Men Origins: Wolverine We Want Lego

By | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

(Featured Image by Ollie’s Bricks) We have all (us, the unfortunate ones) watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine at one point or another. Some of us have even watched it more than once, on some feeble attempt to extract joy from a movie that is aimless, directionless and, ultimately, a disservice to comic book movies all around. […]

“DCeased” #1

By | May 1, 2019 | Reviews

“DCeased” #1 honors the longtime tradition of zombified antagonists by twisting the concept on its head and merging it with DC’s mythology.

“The Flash” #69

By | Apr 26, 2019 | Reviews

“The Flash” #69 concludes the arc focused on the classic rogue Trickster and, by doing so, relies on a familiar trope of the speedster’s comic of having a rogue on the spotlight.

By | Mar 29, 2019 | Reviews

With “Fantastic Four” #8, Dan Slott continues his own take on the classic confrontation of the first family and Doctor Doom, with Galactus thrown in for good measure.

“The Amazing Nightcrawler” #1

By | Feb 22, 2019 | Reviews

“The Amazing Nightcrawler,” as a limited series, aims to expand the new reality of ‘Age of X-Man’ by focusing on a beloved X-Men character and giving him the spotlight – in comic publishing and within the story itself – he deserves.
