Review: Deadpool #20

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 6, 2013 | Reviews

“Deadpool” jumps its way back to the swingin’ Marvel ’60s in another one of those great time traveling issues that take place between arcs. What we end up getting is plenty of Jack Kirby and even more poop jokes. Your mileage may vary. (There’s a character in this issue that would get a kick out […]

Review: Velvet #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 5, 2013 | Reviews

Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting have a thing that they do together, and that “thing” always seems to work, even in a story that’s deceptively familiar.

Pick of the Week: Burn the Orphanage #2

By Michelle White | Dec 5, 2013 | Reviews

This oversized side-scrolling adventure has reached its penultimate chapter, with our hero, Rock, getting into some serious trouble indeed. It’s splashy video game antics all the way down, and the next best thing to actually breaking out the Super NES and bedding down with some clear cola. Written by Daniel Freedman and Sina Grace Illustrated […]

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

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 5, 2013 | Reviews

Well that was quick (no Flash pun intended) – I start reviewing the show two weeks ago, an off week last week, and now we’re just one away from the mid-season finale, the Hansel of 2013 television (it’s so hot right now). Let’s get right into it. 1. Barry Allen is here Tonight we met […]

Mignolaversity: Hellboy in Hell #5 [Review]

Five Thoughts On Almost Human’s “The Bends” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Dec 3, 2013 | Reviews

Hey, look, we’re on time this week, that’s novel. Normally I’d be coy about this, but I think for this one I’m going to open with it: this was Almost Human‘s best episode yet. They basically took all my qualms from the first three episodes, addressed them and then threw in the best parts of […]

A Whole Bunch of Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Too Far Gone” [Review]

By David Harper | Dec 2, 2013 | Reviews

Here it is. The mid-season finale of The Walking Dead, which was set to have The Governor’s…I mean Brian’s forces square off against Rick and the folks at the prison. Does that happen? Is it awesome? Am I actually excited for the show to come back in February or whenever the hell it actually comes […]

Review: Uncanny Avengers #14

By James Johnston | Nov 29, 2013 | Reviews

With the beginning of “Ragnarök Now!” Remender and McNiven shake up The Avengers Unity Squad! But is this change in status quo an exciting climax to a year’s worth of story, or just problematic? Massive Spoilers Are Ahead. Due to the nature of this issue, we’ll be focusing a lot on those events. The ones you probably already […]

Review: Infinity #6

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 29, 2013 | Reviews

Event fatigue is a real thing – especially as companies, most especially Marvel, fill their years with more and more events. It takes a lot for an event to feel different from the usual scrum of monthly comics, to stand apart as different than the 10 events that have passed by in the past 5 […]

Pick of the Week: Black Science #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 28, 2013 | Reviews

Rick Remender and Matteo Scalera must know a little something about black magic themselves. Their unbreakable spell is cast through a mix of unabashed love for multicolored 60’s sci-fi grooviness, carefully tapped political exploration, hard-boiled narration, and protagonists with a penchant for living dangerously when it comes to the dark side of science. Written by […]

Five Thoughts On Almost Human’s “Are You Receiving?” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 27, 2013 | Reviews

There’s a certain level of irony in this review being delayed due to technical issues, given this show’s (and this episode’s) subject matter, but that’s a fairly easy joke to open with. Yet, it’s still the only joke I’ve got so lets move swiftly into the actual review thing. Note: while I don’t like actively […]

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

By David Harper | Nov 27, 2013 | Reviews

After a couple day delay due to our site being dead, I’m back with a look at the second straight Governor centric episode of this show, and on the heels of that debacle, let’s just say I wasn’t excited to watch this episode or write this review. Could I be wrong? Let’s find out below. […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Repairs” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 27, 2013 | Reviews

Some shows get off this week as the holiday comes and networks think that means people are at their TV less. The good folks at ABC know that when it comes to family time, however, most people would rather just sit in front of the TV and not talk to each other rather than interact. […]
