By | Oct 27, 2022 | Reviews

Writing a good ending is a challenging thing, especially when it’s the conclusion of a long-running television show. You have to give satisfying send-offs to characters, answer (or at least acknowledge) lingering questions, and tie up the story’s loose ends. While different shows have created finales to mixed degrees of success, one of the gold […]

Black Adam

By | Oct 21, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

In 2006, Dwayne Johnson was first approached about playing Black Adam in a live-action film. For comics-context, this was likely during the time that “52” was appearing in comic shops. This is before “Final Crisis,” before the New 52, before Man of Steel; hell, it was the year that Superman Returns hit theaters. This film […]

“The Marked Halloween Special” #1

By | Oct 21, 2022 | Reviews

“The Marked” is not a series for everyone, but I think it is super rad! It helps that I’m such a mark for this kind of urban fantasy, which falls somewhere between Charmed and The Crow. It’s silly in some places, and self serious in others. But this isn’t just another issue of “The Marked;” […]

By | Oct 20, 2022 | Reviews

Violent, energetic, and frenzied, “Kali” is an erratic whirlwind. Thinly scripted but heavy on extreme violence and gorgeous action, Kali comes from the Mad Max: Fury Road or Crank school of storytelling. This is a comic that is loud, aggressive and in your face. Writer Daniel Freedman and artist Robert Sammelin have crafted a tale […]

Back in 2018, I wrote a “We Want Comics” article calling for a comic book adaptation of “Animorphs.” Two years later, my wish was granted, with the release of a comic adaptation of the first book in the series, “The Invasion.” Now, we take a look at the third book, “The Encounter,” and see a […]
