“Little Nightmares” #1

By | Jun 2, 2017 | Reviews

Little Nightmares released as a PS4 game in April – a fact I didn’t know until recently. The charming indie-like game was met with warm reception, so although video games to comics isn’t always a smooth process, delving into a comic adaptation of this property was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Wonder Woman

By | Jun 2, 2017 | Movies, Reviews

There’s a lot riding on Wonder Woman, perhaps an unfair amount. The narrative runs that Warner Bros. is taking a huge risk in having a female-led superhero movie directed by a woman, although they take these chances all the time, just with men. They’ve also given this a smaller budget than either Suicide Squad or […]

“Trinity Annual” #1

By | Jun 1, 2017 | Reviews

Sometimes, a comic gets by with an insanely imaginative premise, an idea that would never be given a chance in any other medium. That’s not “Ladycastle,” a comic which subverts a few key fairy tale tropes (mostly relating to gender), but otherwise tells a pretty conventional story about knights, wizards, dragons, and tournaments. Over four […]
