Advance Review: And Then Emily Was Gone #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 20, 2013 | Reviews

Like the world that the characters are investigating, “And Then Emily Was Gone” is strange and unsettling at times.

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “The Well” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 20, 2013 | Reviews

This is the one that ties into Thor: The Dark World, isn’t it? Yes. Yes it is. Ambitious, or foolhardy? Lets find out. 1. That’s The Ticket! Last week I said that SHIELD was at base expectations of what it should be. This week, SHIELD took Mike from Breaking Bad’s advice — no half-measures. If you ask me, this is what […]

Five Thoughts On Almost Human’s “Skin” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 19, 2013 | Reviews

It’s almost like I just did one of these yesterday… weird. Well, after a promising pilot episode, Almost Human is back already for a second round. Does it bring an interesting plot this time around? Does it further the meaningful (and totally gay) looks between Karl Urban and Michael Ealy? Well… yes to both. So […]

Five Thoughts on Almost Human’s “Pilot” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 18, 2013 | Reviews

Hey, wow, my very own Five Thoughts. Sah-weet. Okay, so I’m supposed to bring you my thoughts on last night’s airing of the pilot for “Almost Human” on Fox. For those of you who didn’t catch it, it’s a buddy cop show set in 2048 with Karl Urban as the grizzled veteran who doesn’t trust […]

By David Harper | Nov 18, 2013 | Reviews

The Governor is back. Does the show regress back to the Governor-centric crapshoot of Season Three, or do things continue on off the strong start of Season Four? Find out below as I share six thoughts on this week’s episode, titled “Live Bait”. Note: Spoilers for this episode and next week’s preview will be discussed, […]

Review: Three #2

By Michelle White | Nov 15, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of this Image Comics miniseries made a nice twist on the 300 legend, putting the oppressed slave order of the Helots center stage. Now matters are escalating, involving the rulers of Sparta and some pretty impossible odds. Written by Kieron Gillen Illustrated by Ryan Kelly Three slaughter survivors race towards the free […]

Review: Shaolin Cowboy #2

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 15, 2013 | Reviews

… Holy shit. Written & Illustrated by Geof Darrow He came, he “sawed,” but will he conquer?! The Shaolin Cowboy proves—in 40 pages of gas-powered mayhem—that the undead and kung fu don’t mix as they mix it up in issue #2. No “low T” in this one! The word Shaolin comes from the monastery in […]

Review: Manifest Destiny #1

By Michelle White | Nov 14, 2013 | Reviews

As writer Chris Dingess notes in the afterword, this book is weird. It’s hella weird – although I don’t think you’d expect anything less from a story about Lewis and Clark tracking down monsters. But it’s interesting-weird, and a cracking good story at that, making this new ongoing from Skybound an exciting prospect. Written by […]

Review: All New X-Men #18

By Matt Dodge | Nov 14, 2013 | Reviews

Kitty Pryde changes teams, and the time displaced mutants deal with their new surroundings at Cyclops’ hidden Xavier School, in “All New X-Men” #18.

Review: Marvel Knights: X-Men #1

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 14, 2013 | Reviews

The revival of the Marvel Knights line came as a bit of a surprise, but definitely a welcome one. Marvel has lately been pushing the bounds with their creator-focused publishing and a series of miniseries with “indie” creators at the forefront is nothing to sniff at. And Brahm Revel writing and drawing an X-Men story? […]

Review: Rocket Girl #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 14, 2013 | Reviews

Brandon Montclare and Amy Reeder charmed the pants off of me last year with their “Halloween Eve” one-shot. I literally lost my pants. It was so quirky and delightful that it’s got a place in my rotation come every Halloween. But “Rocket Girl”? This is on another level. Written by Brandon Montclare Illustrated by Amy […]

Pick of the Week: Umbral #1

By James Johnston | Nov 14, 2013 | Reviews

Fantasy comics aren’t published too often anymore. Nor are new creator-owned fantasy comics with a mix of Arthurian and Lovecraftian influence. That said, read below for our review of “Umbral” and check out why this dark fantasy from the creators of “Wasteland” is our Pick of the Week! Written by Antony Johnston Illustrated by Christopher […]

Review: Batman #25

By Zach Wilkerson | Nov 13, 2013 | Reviews

In “Batman” #25, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo dive into the second act of their latest take on the definitive Batman origin. However, “Dark City” looks to be far more than a simple retread of Bruce’s freshman vigilante years. Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Greg Capullo BATMAN: ZERO YEAR reaches a new level as […]

Mignolaversity: Abe Sapien #7

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Nov 13, 2013 | Reviews

This month’s “Abe Sapien” poses a lot of questions and, unfortunately, doesn’t answer many of them in a satisfying manner. Written by Mike Mignola and Scott Allie Illustrated by Sebastian Fiumara Abe dives into a fight between carnivorous monsters crawling out of the desert sand and the fortified militia that’s walled Phoenix off from the […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “The Hub” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 13, 2013 | Reviews

Another week, another SHIELD show, and hey, they’re on a two-week streak! That’s right: two episodes that are in fact enjoyable and not something I feel like overly deriding! WOW! Why? Let’s discuss. That Opening Was Straight Out of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers Playbook I’m not imagining things, right? That whole cold-open was just like Natasha’s opening […]
