“The Deviant” #1

By | Nov 17, 2023 | Reviews

You know, for a holiday that is supposed to be about happy times with family and friends, there’s a lot of media surrounding the Christmas holiday that revels in bloodshed, violence, and conflict.

“Starsigns” #6

By | Nov 9, 2023 | Reviews

A successful action series needs to have an ebb and flow of exciting setpieces and quiet moments to breathe. Too much action and the story becomes numbing, the spectacle becomes meaningless. You need those moments to relate to the characters and help make them feel fleshed out and real, not action figures smashing together for […]
