The Flash

By | Jun 19, 2023 | Movies, Reviews

Note: When discussing the character of Barry Allen, I will use he/him pronouns. When considering the performance of Ezra Miller, I will use they/them. Just to get this out of the way at the top, this isn’t really the space for me to critique the promotional and commercial system that justifies the sale of Ezra […]

“Spirit World” #2

By | Jun 16, 2023 | Reviews

DC’s ‘We are Legends’ initiative is, for now, a series of unconnected miniseries that all follow different Asian characters. “Spirit World” is both the most original idea of the batch, and also one with a strong DC Universe connection, as both Cassandra Cain and John Constantine are key parts of the issue. But mini-lines like […]

“Haunt You to the End” #1

By | Jun 15, 2023 | Reviews

There’s a Stanley Kubrick quote at the beginning of this comic that goes like this: “I think ghost stories are fundamentally optimistic, don’t you? If there are ghosts, then it means we survive death.” Apparently this quote was said by Kubrick to Stephen King (of course) while on the set of The Shining (of course) […]

“Why Are You Like This?”

By | Jun 13, 2023 | Reviews

Every now and then, a webcomic does so well that the creator can publish their strips in a curated collection. When that happens, comic reviewers have the privilege and challenge of reviewing them and seeing how well the comic works as a collection, as individual strips, and as any form of overarching narrative. This time, […]

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

By | Jun 9, 2023 | Movies, Reviews

Picking up seven years after Bumblebee, this second prequel in the Transformers series is looking to stand on its own while also bridging what is an effective standalone movie and the rest of the series to the Michael Bay era, and it is mostly successful in that endeavor. Some mild spoilers ahead. Transformers: Rise of […]

“Deadpool: Badder Blood” #1

By | Jun 9, 2023 | Reviews

The 90’s, for better or worse, have a reputation among comic readers, including certain styles and artists whose works are synonymous with the times. Perhaps chief among them is Rob Liefeld, a writer and artist who gave us some of the biggest guns, most bulging muscles, and also notably, inaccurate feet. But the 90’s comics […]

By | Jun 8, 2023 | Reviews

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

By | Jun 5, 2023 | Movies, Reviews

Across the Spider-Verse is, almost obviously, excellent. It’s a film that genuinely challenges itself visually, consistently working to surprise every demographic placed in front of it. This is the kind of story that is vital to the generative lifeblood of animation, even when it concedes to tropes or stacks its plate too high. You can […]
