I do this for you, dear readers. 1. Ana’s Relationships Daimon spends the majority of […]

We’re four episodes in, the threat is growing, paths are intertwining, and the characters might actually do something! I mean… a little something. At least we get a bit more worldbuilding.

Five Thoughts on Helstrom’s “The One Who Got Away”

By Robbie Pleasant | Nov 2, 2020 | Television

On to episode 3, where we learn more about the Helstrom siblings’ dear ol’ dad. No, he’s apparently not Satan, at least not like in the comics. But then, none of these characters are like their comic counterparts anyways, so does that really make a difference? What matters is if they pull it off well, […]

By Robbie Pleasant | Oct 28, 2020 | Columns

New year, new comics! But also: more comics tied into the “King in Black” event, including bringing older teams and overlooked characters back into the spotlight. Still, calling out all of those would neglect the other great comics coming for us in January, so we kept those to a minimum and went on to look […]

Five Thoughts on Helstrom’s “Viaticum”

By Robbie Pleasant | Oct 26, 2020 | Television

We’re back with episode 2 of Helstrom. This episode gives us a little more in the way of lore building and character work, but is it enough? It’s primarily focused on Ana (who I’m still assuming is just going by “Ana” as a shortened version of “Satana”), so let’s see what we get from her […]
