“Strange” #1

By | Mar 3, 2022 | Reviews

There’s nothing quite like shaking up the status quo, especially if it shows how a new person handles a position of power. From spy organizations to criminal underworlds, ancient kingdoms to magical societies, it’s exciting to see how fresh blood in a role changes the whole purpose and philosophy of a leader. After years of […]

The Batman

By | Mar 3, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

There is something off about the Batman, a recognition of something darker that underlies the self-deprecating jab in Batman Begins about how “a guy who dresses up like a bat clearly has issues.” That gnawing tension runs through Matt Reeves’s new film, aptly titled, The Batman. It slowly walks out of the shadows in the […]

The remnants of 5G still appear to be lingering in the DC Universe which is evident from titles like “Aquamen.” “Aquaman: The Becoming” promoted newer ocean-based hero Jackson Hyde to the seminal Aquaman […]

“The Lion and the Eagle” #1

By | Feb 18, 2022 | Reviews

Sometimes we forget history. This might be a mind-numbing truism, but it’s worth remembering. History is a collection of moments remembered and forgotten, and a measure of any healthy society is its ability to excavate, inspect, and learn from the past. Introspection is key to humility, and perhaps history is a civilization’s way of acknowledging […]

“A Man Among ‘Ye” #8

By | Feb 17, 2022 | Reviews

While it’s not surprising, it’s interesting to see the legacy of piracy in pop culture. There is just something about pirates that speaks to the adventure in all of us. There’s the flamboyant excess of it all, the cool frock coats, the sword fights, the ability to live a carefree life. In a world of […]

South Africa is a fascinating country with a lot of potential, and a lot of problems. While it was able to gain its independence from the British, it still had to deal with the brutal apartheid government which they didn’t get rid of until 1994. Unfortunately, the legacy of apartheid still remains to this day […]

“Magic” #11

By | Feb 10, 2022 | Reviews

It’s funny that Magic: The Gathering is enjoyed by so many people who don’t realize there’s a decades-running story. The tales of the Planeswalkers, wizards who can casually step between dimensions, has continued in books, comics, and in an upcoming Netflix animated series. And against all odds, the story behind Magic, is pretty good. So […]
