The Wicked Need a Rest – “Sleepy Hollow” #1 [Review]

By Cassandra Clarke | Oct 16, 2014 | Reviews

It’s no easy job to create a comic based on a TV show, especially when it’s a four-issue compressed arc. To do so is to invite comparison not just between the content of what’s covered in plot or composition of the characters, but also between the pacing between film and comics. While the best sequential […]

Ellis and Lotay Create a Haunting, Dream-Like Look at Reality in “Supreme: Blue Rose #4” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Oct 16, 2014 | Reviews

It should be no surprise that Warren “Transmetropolitan” Ellis is still pushing the boundaries of comics in ways that no other writer is. With the incredibly talented Tula Lotay providing that artwork, “Supreme: Blue Rose” seems to be getting more obtuse and complicated with each issue as it comments not only on the nature of […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Fastest Man Alive” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 15, 2014 | Reviews

Two episodes in, and The Flash has satisfied supremely.

Five Thoughts on Gotham’s “Arkham” [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Oct 14, 2014 | Reviews

This week on Gotham: A turf war, a civic debate, a breakup, and a devastating lack of Harvey Bullock. The slowest episode to date sets up important story lines that will matter in the future, but doesn’t do much to entertain. It’s spoiler central down there. 1. Lessons in Real Estate The last remaining portion […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “No Sanctuary” [Review]

By David Harper | Oct 13, 2014 | Reviews

It’s October, so you know what that means: “The Walking Dead” is back, and so am I with my five thoughts reviews on the show.
