By | Mar 26, 2013 | Columns

Things have been kind of interesting for Boomb Tube lately. Both Young Justice and Green Lantern ended this week, resulting in my need to find a substitute show to write about.

[…]

By | Mar 19, 2013 | Columns

This week in cartoons is going to be a sad one for many reasons. First, both Green Lantern and Young Justice are being pulled off in the air during their prime because no one bought the tie-in toys. Even though this is completely DC’s fault for making toys of Razer and Lagoon Lad which did […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Dodger” [Review]

By | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

1.) A bit of a deceleration from last week.  Last week’s episode, “Odyssey”, was pretty much just fighting explosions for 70 percent of the total airtime. Now, due to reasons of pacing (and probably budget),  this episode took a much more relaxed tone and had a lot more focus on everyone’s domestic life. Even the […]

However, instead of Ollie making the choice of whether or not to kill his mother, Moira just cold shoots him in the chest. After […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow: Betrayal [Review]

By | Feb 7, 2013 | Columns

1.) Vanch is almost startlingly ridiculous Cyrus Vanch, the first villain to have a name that sounded less evil and more like a salad dressing, is a criminal recently released from jail on a technicality who walks into his friend’s house, stabs him, and declares that he’s going to take over all of the crime […]
