“Chicken Devil” #1

By | Oct 8, 2021 | Reviews

“Chicken Devil” #1 from AfterShock comics is full of violence, high-lunacy, glitteringly good illustration, and a plot just wild enough to pull us in for the long haul. In other words, it’s finger-licking good. Think Sin City meets The Big Lebowski meets Hobo with a Shotgun meets…a McDonald’s commercial, I guess? “Chicken Devil” #1 is […]

“Zero Hour”: A Crisis In Recapping, Part 7

By | Oct 7, 2021 | Reviews

Folks, you’ve heard about it whispered in the corners of DC fandom. You’ve been confused at the odd reference to it in those “modern comics” you devour week after week. What in the darned heck is “Zero Hour”? Why is it called that? Why is it numbered backward? Who is Extant and should I really […]

Venom: Let There Be Carnage

By | Oct 6, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

The first Venom appeared to have been released from a time capsule dated 2005. Here was a superhero film that outside of leads Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams had none of the pretense or associated quality that has developed around the genre in the past decade and a half. It had a titular single by […]

No Time to Die

By | Oct 6, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

No Time to Die, the 25th official James Bond movie, is a film with a lot to prove: it’s been six years since Spectre (meaning it’s been nine since the last good film, Skyfall), and the world has changed greatly in the meantime, meaning the pressure on Daniel Craig’s fifth and final outing to be […]

By | Oct 1, 2021 | Reviews

I’m not a fan of horror, but even I have to admit that there has been a string of really well filmed, really well acted, and really well put together horror movies lately. Lately, I’ve been noticing a pattern among some of the more well regarded horror films, namely each film takes a certain feeling […]

“Inferno” #1

By | Sep 30, 2021 | Reviews

Jonathan Hickman’s X-Men promised readers big and bold ideas. Since the inception of the dual “House of X” and “Powers of X” mini-series, many have begun making the argument that the spin-off titles in the line are not capitalizing on the promise of Hickman, Larraz and Silva’s incredible sense of ambition. “Inferno” is directly promised […]
