“Copperhead” #7

By | Jul 18, 2021 | Reviews

Once again, Clara is the subject of a “Copperhead” cover. Perfectly framed by a doorway, we see her looking directly at the camera with a crescent moon visible in the background. It’s a romantic image and creates a sense of anticipation that this installment will further explore the romantic story arc established in the previous […]

The read through continues with ‘The Dragon’s Hoard which contained “Suicide Squad” issues #50-58. These are available to read with a DC Universe Infinite Subscription.

“Die” #18

By | Jul 16, 2021 | Reviews

As “Die” starts making its way towards its grand finale, issue #18 takes a minute to focus on the characters. Not only does it show us a little more of what happened to them after they first returned to the real world, it delves into what happened to Sol when he was left behind, and […]

By | Jul 15, 2021 | Reviews

Don’t you hate it when your post messy breakup road trip of self discovery gets interrupted by frenzied interdimensional insect monsters? If that sounds even remotely relatable, then “Beyond the Breach” #1 could be the action-adventure addition to your pull list you’ve been looking for. While we’re not sure exactly where “Beyond the Breach” will […]

“Helm Greycastle” #3

By | Jul 15, 2021 | Reviews

There’s something beautiful about living in a world where tabletop role-playing games have become not only socially accepted but inspirations for the media that we consume. For a while, due to pop culture in general and the Satanic Panic specifically, role-playing games were something that seemed to be the ultimate taboo, something that nerds who […]

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” Vol. 13 & 14

By | Jul 14, 2021 | Reviews

Gyokko, the vase demon, has got to be the grossest demon thus far. He’s got two mouths for eyes and then an eye IN HIS MOUTH MOUTH and an eye on his forehead. He summons these...nasty fish creatures that look like they fell out of “Gyo” and into a cartoonification ray with their big googly eyes and stupid muscle arms. Thanks Gotouge. I hate it.

“Truth: Red, White, And Black” #7

And here we are, having reached the end of this scathing critique of American history mixed with classic comics fun, “Truth: Red, White and Black.” It is the saga of the first super soldier, Isaiah Bradley. I feel I am better for having read it, this second time around. I don’t know how this story […]

Who Are You, Charlie Brown?

By | Jul 13, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

You can’t think of certain holidays without thinking of Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang.  What is Halloween without the Great Pumpkin? What is Christmas without the soundtrack of “Linus and Lucy” in the background?  It’s no surprise, then, that there was such outrage when Apple TV+ acquired the exclusive rights to the Peanuts TV […]

“Wolverine” #3 (1988)

By | Jul 12, 2021 | Reviews

The main issue with this Wolverine comic is that there isn’t much of Wolverine featured in it. The suspenseful cliffhanger allows the issue to start with a gripping opening and it ends with a satisfying climax, but has a rather bloated middle. Written by Chris Claremont Penciled by John Buscema Inked by Al Williamson Colored […]

Marvel have finally released the Black Widow movie, but it’s well worth remembering Russia has its own comic book and film industries, and perhaps coincidentally, this week saw the US release of Major Grom: Plague Doctor — reportedly the first feature film based on a Russian comic — on Netflix. Directed by Oleg Trofim, the […]
