Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins

By | Jul 27, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

Origin stories are tricky even with the straightforward narrative of becoming. In the wrong hands they devolve into explainers for how iconic accoutrement are obtained and create the title persona and not emotional narratives that explain character. Some films are efficient about this like in Batman Begins. Other movies decide that we need to know […]

“Wolverine” #5 (1988)

By | Jul 26, 2021 | Reviews

The very first panel picks up exactly where the last issue left off, with Karma’s hand bleeding from the glass she shattered. Chris Claremont then creates a very suspenseful moment of drama with Bloodsport asking her about her injury and things escalating from there. It is rare for a moment of drama in a comic […]

“Copperhead” #8

By | Jul 25, 2021 | Reviews

As we approach the halfway point of the “Copperhead” series, one aspect of the storytelling that stands out is how the storytellers experiment with the genre. While the series is essentially a Space Western, each issue presents an opportunity to advance the narrative within the parameters of a specific sub genre. For instance, “Copperhead” #7 […]

“Shazam” #1

By | Jul 23, 2021 | Reviews

DC is in a weird position with Shazam as a property. The Shazam film was a hit, with a sequel and a Black Adam spin-off both coming out in the next two years. But on the comics side, the character hasn’t had a real foothold at DC in many years. Aside from backups and guest […]

“Mass Effect: Discovery”

In 2017, BioWare relaunched the Mass Effect series with Mass Effect: Andromeda, which chronicled the Andromeda Initiative’s colonization of our nearest galaxy. The game, which was conceived as a way of moving the saga forward without canonizing one of the many endings for the third game, ultimately underperformed, meaning there were no DLCs or direct […]

“Bermuda” #1

By | Jul 22, 2021 | Reviews

I am a sucker for a solid wilderness survival story. Stories like Daniel Defoe’s “Robinson Crusoe” or Gary Paulsen’s “Hatchet” have a special place on my bookshelf and in my reading rotation. I guess it’s something about the characters struggling against the elements and isolation with nothing more than their wits and ingenuity is a […]
