“Aliens vs. Predator: Fire and Stone” Throws Prometheus Into The Fray #1 [Review]

By James Johnston | Oct 9, 2014 | Reviews

For years, Aliens and Predators have fought tooth and nail over comics, movies, and a video game I really liked in fifth grade. With the latest series of crossovers from Dark Horse, the players of the 2012 film Prometheus get in on the action. And just as it was for Prometheus, I have no idea […]

Pick of the Week: “Batgirl” #35 is Blazing New Trails and Burning Bridges [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Oct 9, 2014 | Reviews

Do you remember the first time you were dropped off at sleep-away camp? That sticky-sweet feeling of being left to your own devices, and almost caring that you know better, but doing it anyway… yeah, definitely doing it anyway. It’s freedom, it’s independence. It’s arranging your belongings on a shelf, and hoping that someone asks […]

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

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 9, 2014 | Reviews

The third season of Arrow is here, coming hot on the heels of last night’s debut of The Flash. After that show’s debut, which was comparatively so hopeful and streamlined, as compared to the somewhat dark and more complex show here, at first was a little jarring. However, once the show’s rhythm was re-established, it […]

Gravity Talks: “Little Gift Shop of Horror” [Review]

By James Johnston | Oct 8, 2014 | Reviews

Welcome back to Gravity Talks, our review series for Gravity Falls with a release schedule that’s just as sporadic as the show. Apparently this premiered on Friday instead of on a Monday like they said this season would. The real mystery of Gravity Falls is when does this show even air. This week, “Little Gift […]

The DC Universe Comes to TV in a Flash in “City of Heroes” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 8, 2014 | Reviews

We all know how well DC has done turning Arrow into the most effective and fun superhero TV show to ever grace the small screen. And, as effectively as the show incorporated Barry Allen last year, I think a lot of people were really concerned with how DC and the CW would do attempting to […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 8, 2014 | Reviews

SHIELD continues its hot streak for Season 2, brings back Simmons and throws out a Dale Carnegie reference — yet somehow it manages to avoid the 50 ice puns that Batman and Robin gave us. Will that set the show back, or rocket it forward? Lets find out. 1. Wolfram and Hart 2.0 Those of you who […]

Five Thoughts on Gotham’s “The Balloonman” [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Oct 7, 2014 | Reviews

The third episode of Fox’s “Gotham” delves into the characters’ states of mind and assesses the effects that the city has on all its inhabitants.

“Lobo” #1 Goes Hunting For the Wrong Target [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 3, 2014 | Reviews

Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200 and Other Rules for Making the Most of Life & Death [“Doctors” Review]

By Sam LeBas | Oct 2, 2014 | Reviews

This book reaffirms my faith in the importance of stories. Dash Shaw captures the complexity and contradictions of being alive, and places that alongside an incredible portrait of the art of survival, which we all practice with varying degrees of success. In the original graphic novel “Doctors,” it becomes clear that those two things could […]

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 2, 2014 | Reviews

Aside from a few Orion appearances, and the events of “Infinity Man and the Forever People,” the New Gods have been absent from the New 52 thus far. DC has decided that the best way to remedy that situation is to use the Lantern books as the entry point. In fact, it is surprising that […]
