By Elias Rosner | May 24, 2018 | Reviews

Slaine the Horned God

“Slaine: The Horned God”

By Tom Shapira | May 22, 2018 | Reviews

Here is a true classic. Rare are the comics that are untouched by the hands of time, but this is one of them, a work that feels today, over 20 years later, as real and as immediate as it must have felt for the first time. “The Horned God” works both as a rousing adventure […]

By Jonathan O'Neal | May 22, 2018 | Reviews

Adapted from Ace Atkins’s 1998 novel that launched a series of Nick Travers mysteries soaked in the blues tradition of the Mississippi Delta, Image’s “Crossroad Blues” is a 12-Gauge production with a nice pedigree, but does the graphic novel measure up to the acclaimed genre mystery?

Solo: A Star Wars Story

By Brian Salvatore | May 22, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

Fraught with production issues, Solo: A Star Wars Story is the second Star Wars film outside the Skywalker Saga, and the first film since the prequels to re-cast a beloved character with a younger actor. For those reasons, the anticipation for the film has been rather muted, at least by standard Star Wars standards. There […]

Deadpool 2

By Brian Salvatore | May 17, 2018 | Reviews

Deadpool occupies a weird place in the comics world. On one hand, the character is representative of the basest impulses of comics: catchphrases, insane violence, blatant theft of intellectual property. On the other, he’s become an avatar for self-awareness, breaking the fourth wall, and for being as ‘comic book-y’ as possible. Those two elements don’t […]
