By Robbie Pleasant | May 16, 2017 | Longform

If I tried to count the hours I’ve spent reading webcomics, who knows how many days, months, or years it would find I’ve expended? From cats playing video games to the life and struggles of a former magical girl, there are so many comics that people have spent countless time and immeasurable effort working on, […]

“Dragon Ball Super” Volume 1

By Robbie Pleasant | May 9, 2017 | Reviews

Someone, somewhere, must have collected the seven Dragon Balls and wished for the series to return, because over the past few years, we’ve gotten two new movies (one of which even got a limited theatrical release), a new “Dragon Ball Super” anime, and now, a manga adaptation of that anime. So with Goku and company […]

Soliciting Multiversity: Marvel’s Top 10 for July 2017

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 27, 2017 | Columns

Another month of comics to look forward to! Yet we’re still in the midst of “Secret Empire,” which means it’s slim pickings for a top 10 once we weed out everything forced to tie in to the most ill-conceived comic event we’ve had in ages (and considering we just got through two ill-conceived “hero vs hero” […]

Pick of the Week: “Infamous Iron Man” #7

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 27, 2017 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Dr. Doom as Iron Man… the idea seemed ridiculous at first. Why would Doom, of all people, try to be a legacy character to someone else? Doom forges his own legacy! He does not need to take another’s name, for he is Doom. But Bendis said he could make it work, and comic readers responded […]

“U.S. Avengers” #5

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 20, 2017 | Reviews

It’s finally begun: “Secret Empire.” And while I’m not going to take a look at that specific “event,” we will be taking a look at one of the comics leading into it. Can the U.S. Avengers tell their own story while being drawn into the events of “Secret Empire,” or will they be caught up […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “No Regrets”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 19, 2017 | Television

So, I goofed. Last week’s episode was “Identity and Change,” this week’s is “No Regrets.” So we’ve got the titles swapped around now, and will fix that all up. My mistake aside, this was quite an episode for Agents of SHIELD, so let’s toss up that SPOILER warning and dive on in. 1. Triplet Returns […]
