“Justice League Dark” #25

By | Aug 27, 2020 | Reviews

There’s something about comics that provides a fantastic medium for portraying magic. Comics are able to capture the look and feel of magic in a way that sometimes doesn’t translate as well in other visual mediums like movies where the magic can sometimes become cluttered and difficult to follow. Magic in comic books can alter […]

“The Manhattan Projects” Volume 3

By | Aug 26, 2020 | Reviews

Welcome to our Summer Comics Binge of “The Manhattan Projects” by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra. I’ve read work by both creators before, namely Hickman’s X title relaunch and half of “East of West” (that’s on hold until I finish “The Manhattan Projects”), and Pitarra’s short-lived “Leviathan.” I’ll be reviewing a volume of the series […]

“The Question” (1987) #37

By | Aug 25, 2020 | Reviews

Welcome to the weirdest “The Question” issue yet, and that’s saying something. Remember how we had a sad clown issue? Or the recurring character of Junior who wasn’t really recurring? Yeah, this beats all that. Probably because it’s contingent on both the excellent event “52” and the less excellent but still fantastic “Blackest Night.”

The Webcomics Weekly #101: One Way Ticket to Flavortown (8/25/2020 Edition)

By | Aug 25, 2020 | Reviews

Celebrating 100 issues certainly leaves an editor tired. Celebrating that 100 issues by tackling a strange project comparing "Tower of God" to its adaptation, Tower of God is also something that leaves one tired. How will we celebrate issue #101? Well with a hangover of course! We've got the hair of the dog in "A Better Place" and "Trekker" as well as some coffee thanks to "The Queen and the Woodborn" and "She Blooms in Autumn." I couldn't think of a better celebration than that one, could you?

Random Acts of Violence

By | Aug 24, 2020 | Movies, Reviews

Random Acts of Violence, fittingly, came out of nowhere. Until about a month ago I didn’t know the Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti comic had been adapted and now it is streaming on the horror themed service Shudder. Even more surprising is who was a primary force behind the film, Jay Baruchel, who: directed, co-wrote, […]

“Retina” puts a futuristic spin on the crime thriller. Set in 2030, it tells a tale of a rogue cop following a lead farther than it should have been followed. He steps into the territory of a mysterious organisation that is guided only by money. The world-building gives great potential to the story and Philippe […]

“Alienated” #5

By | Aug 20, 2020 | Reviews

The penultimate installment of “Alienated” crackles with power. Spurrier’s writing commands the page. Wildgoose’s illustrations capture moments of pain and grace with equal strength. May’s colors set the mood–chaotic and anxious–while Campbell’s letters add character throughout. “Alienated” #5 is that rare comic in which the total story really is more than the sum of its […]

“Detective Comics: The Victim Syndicate”

By | Aug 20, 2020 | Reviews

It’s not necessarily a new thing to explore the idea that while superheroes have a rigid “no killing” policy, there is certainly plenty of collateral damage in keeping the city safe from villains and criminals. The idea that even with the best of intention, superheroes aren’t able to control what happens to everyone. Innocent people […]

“Star Wars Legacy: War”

By | Aug 20, 2020 | Reviews

Sometimes the inner workings of comic book companies is too arcane, even for someone who follows this stuff day in and day out. I cannot properly explain why “Star Wars Legacy” was prematurely canceled after 50 issues, only to be brought back for a final 6 issue miniseries. Nor can I explain why that miniseries […]

By | Aug 20, 2020 | Reviews

“Thor” has taken quite a few massive left turns over the past six issues. Author Donny Cates and artist Nic Klein quickly gave the God of Thunder more power and a redesigned outfit to match his new state of mind. Marvel has been teasing this issue of Thor as a key chapter for the series. […]
