Comic Book Review: Dark Days: The Road to Metal (2018)
A collection of stories that lay the groundwork for DC’s insane – some might say Batshit Crazy and be almost too on the nose – event, Dark Nights: Metal, Dark […]
Comic Book Review: Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point #1
The FOMO is real. On a rare, recent trip into the outside world, I visited my local Forbidden Planet, with the intention of just browsing their lovely selection of geeky […]
Review: Batman: The Telltale Series – The Enemy Within
