Let the mantle pass you by, Ric Grayson. Let yourself go the way of your father, free of the tights and the mask, free of the danger, free of the trouble and the sorrow. Let someone else fight the fight. Let someone else put the fear of the night into the criminals. That will make […]

“Black Badge” #4

By | Nov 22, 2018 | Reviews

Even by comic book standards, the premise of Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins’s “Black Badge” is borderline ridiculous, but if anyone has been able to make readers suspend disbelief, it’s Kindt. His stories demand to be taken seriously. The first three issues of the Boom series have done an excellent job creating plausible scenarios where […]

“Hey, Kiddo”

By | Nov 20, 2018 | Reviews

After nearly two decades of writing and illustrating children’s picture books and graphic novels, Jarrett J. Krosoczka fully pulls the curtains back and dives, squarely and unapologetically, into the realm of young adult/adult work in his revealing and autobiographical “Hey, Kiddo.” In the process of sharing his family’s story, Krosoczka largely steps away from what […]

It is widely known that Alien 3 was a production nightmare that went through countless screenplays, multiple directors, and changes from page to screen. It was director David Fincher’s feature film debut and he left the project before it was completely finished, leaving the studio to ultimately release a dark, confusing, downer of a sequel […]
