By Jonathan O'Neal | Feb 7, 2020 | Reviews

“Isola” #10

By Joe Skonce | Feb 6, 2020 | Reviews

The worst kind of nightmares are the ones that build to the terror, the ones that start innocent or idyllic. There is a growing realization that something is not right, the panic that goes along with it, and an eventual build to the betrayal of that perfect moment. These are the kinds of stories that […]

“Justice League” #40

By Michael Govan | Feb 6, 2020 | Reviews

Remember the Justice League movie? You know, the one with a bunch of iffy CGI and a bootleg Thanos for the villain. It wasn’t great…my brother was on his phone for the last twenty minutes and I can’t say I blame him. I wanted to like it so badly too. When I was a kid, […]

“The After Realm Quarterly” #1

By Rowan Grover | Feb 6, 2020 | Reviews

Norse mythology is one of those ancient religions that remains popular today through its exploration in fiction, particularly with the comic medium. We’ve seen Thor and Asgard covered in Marvel, Walter Simonson is doing his own take over at IDW, and there’s the inclusion of them within the “Sandman” mythos over at DC. “The After […]

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)

By Kate Kosturski | Feb 6, 2020 | Movies, Reviews

When the DCEU does fun, it translates well critically and at the box office. Their highest grossing film to date? The under-the-sea spectacle Aquaman. (No doubt helped in part by Jason Momoa’s abs.) Does Birds of Prey continue in this tradition? Absolutely. It’s chaotic feminist fun, a new Harley Quinn – – and a new tone […]

“Amazing Spider-Man: The Daily Bugle” #1

By Michael Govan | Jan 31, 2020 | Reviews

When shaping the Marvel universe, Stan Lee created and co-created plenty of fascinating super-humans. Emphasis on ‘human’. He had a talent for making the most astonishing characters relatable. Take the Fantastic Four for example. Yes, they’re explorers on a cosmic scale but at the end of the day, they’re a family. Better yet, take Spider-Man […]

Marvel’s “The End” comics are presenting ways our favorite heroes may one day come to an end.
