By David Harper | Nov 5, 2014 | Reviews

For the last while, I’ve been hearing that the 44th issue of “Chew” was going to be a game changer, and not in a Marvel hype sort of way, but in a very real one. Something big was going to happen, the team behind the book has hinted. I’ve been dreading it for the last […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Slabtown” [Review]

Zub and Cummings Keep Things Weird in “Wayward” #3 [Review]

By Michelle White | Oct 31, 2014 | Reviews

“Wayward” is solid reading material for Hallowe’en, actually.

If you have yet to jump on to this ongoing from […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “The Magician” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 30, 2014 | Reviews

This episode had more archers than any show reasonably should, but it also managed to be one of the strongest of this season (even with minimal Felicity, something that automatically handicaps any episode). 1. Merlyn’s Coming Out Party John Barrowman mustn’t be hungry very much, as he gets the chew a hell of a lot […]

This episode has everything: Felicity Smoak, Captain Cold, Free’s “All Right Now,” everything. 1.

The point is, that like so […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 29, 2014 | Reviews

BREAKING NEWS! SHIELD has stormed a UN conference and killed a whole bunch of people!
