“Mass Effect: Discovery”

By | Jul 22, 2021 | Reviews

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 […]

By | Jul 20, 2021 | Reviews

For last year’s Summer Comics Binge, I chose to dive into the first “Star Wars: Doctor Aphra” series after reading the debut issue of the second volume, in hopes to learn more about the character.  Among the many things I learned about Aphra was that she actually first appeared in 2015’s “Star Wars: Darth Vader.”  […]

“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 […]

Some Kind of Suicide Squad: The Dragon’s Hoard

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.

“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

By | Jul 13, 2021 | Reviews

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 […]
