By Jess Camacho | Jan 22, 2015 | Reviews

Many moons ago, young Jess Camacho asked her mom to rent her Galaxy Quest from the video store (google it kids) because the guy who was in The Santa Clause was in it. Fast forward to 2015 and not only is this movie a “cult classic” and loved by many but I’ve finally got the […]

By Alice W. Castle | Jan 22, 2015 | Reviews

Comics aren’t all just spandex, unbridled masculinity and the inherent, insidious problems that plague any industry where the only way to make money is by watching beefy white dudes beat each other up.

Well, it’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, hasn’t it? Turns out, when I looked up the air date of this episode when the first part aired and was told it would be the weekend after, I was just straight up lied to. So, my assumption that Constantine would be running through […]

This miniseries from Dark Horse and Dynamite teams up two wonderful characters and two highly-acclaimed writers, all at once.
