Black Adam

By | Oct 21, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

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;” […]

“Kali”

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.

“The Amazing Spider-Man” #11

By | Oct 14, 2022 | Reviews

Superhero adventures have quite a bit in common with soap operas. From mistaken identities to mysterious redemptions, they are long stories that rely on building twists and turns to continue decades-long stories. But if you are all mystery with little payoff, it can make an audience member question their desire to keep turning into the […]
