The Suicide Squad

By | Aug 9, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

Having seen The Suicide Squad twice now, first on HBO Max and later in theaters, one question rang out and began to cohere the hundreds swirling in my mind: how did this get made? Funnily enough that is the same question I asked after seeing the 2016 film. How did writer-director James Gunn convince Warner […]

“Copperhead” #10

By | Aug 8, 2021 | Reviews

One thing I love about the “Copperhead” series is that each new chapter provides the reader with an experience that differs from the preceding chapter and the one that will come after it. “Copperhead” #9 was similar in tone to a film like Stagecoach, in that we had a core group of characters from vastly […]

The second arc of “Star Wars: Darth Vader” sees Vader having to balance official Empire businesses with his own motivations, and Aphra getting a lesson or two in learning to be a leader.  Never thought I would find business lessons in my comics, but here we are.

“Green Goblin” #5

By | Aug 2, 2021 | Reviews

Over the course of the last four issues, Marvel’s “Green Goblin” series has worked to overcome pacing and plotting issues that have dragged down an otherwise solid book. Part of it may be that DeFalco, a former editor-in-chief with over a decade in Spider-Man alone at this point, was also helping wrangle ‘The Clone Saga.’ […]

By | Aug 1, 2021 | Reviews

After the previous issue’s intense chapter, “Copperhead” # 9 maintains the exciting narrative progression and switches protagonists from Boo to Clara. The comic begins with a prologue set on another planet. This structural technique was used in previous issues as a way to introduce Clay, establish his complicated history with Clara and set up the […]

Some Kind of Suicide Squad: Animated, Part 1

By | Jul 31, 2021 | Reviews

Despite having a critically acclaimed run under their belt and some miniseries appearances the Suicide Squad – both the concept and publishing property – never really broke out into the mainstream comic consciousness after their run ended in 1992. Which is odd considering that period would soon see the Image revolution and from it a […]

“Dune: Blood of the Sardaukar” #1

By | Jul 30, 2021 | Reviews

Like most great franchises, Dune is a series with an almost exhaustive scope that creates a universe leaving you with small details that could conceivably spin out into their own stories. Yet, like other exhaustive universes, there are moments that the temptation to color in the lines of the original series can lessen the overall […]

“Superman: Son of Kal-El” #1

By | Jul 30, 2021 | Reviews

Ever since Jon Kent, son of Lois and Clark Kent, was introduced to the DC Universe, he’s had quite a busy life. So busy, in fact, that he was aged up so the readers could skip his childhood then sent off to the future. What does all this mean for a character who knows he’ll […]
