TV Review: M.O.D.O.K.
The Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing (or M.O.D.O.K. to his friends, family and enemies) was always one of the more far out bad guys in Marvel’s comic book universe. […]
Comic Book Review: Grendel Kentucky Vol 1 (TPB)
Having missed the first issue of the series, I’ve now caught up with Grendel Kentucky’s four issue run thanks to the collected edition that’s just been released. The story sees […]
TV Review: WandaVision – S1/E6 Review
We’ve arrived at the 90s/early 00s in our weekly journey through the decades in WandaVision, a trip that paused for breath only once, for episode 4’s extended, gripping exposition that […]
Comic Book Review: Archie vs Predator
For decades, the various Archie titles – featuring a cast of ordinary teens in gently comedic situations – were seen as a bastion of family friendly, inoffensive and somewhat conservative […]
TV Review: WandaVision – S1/E5 Review
The last ten years or so has seen an explosion in binge watching, fuelled by the decline of media consumed via ‘traditional’ means. Entertainment has, for the most part, not […]
TV Review: WandaVision – S1/E4 Review
The fourth episode of WandaVision is here – and it doesn’t mess around. The first three episodes took us on a wild, funny, sometimes creepy journey through American sitcoms of […]
TV Review: WandaVision – S1/E3 Review
Moving on from the black and white 50s-then-60s style shenanigans of the first two episodes – with the introduction of colour at the end of the second show – we’re […]
TV Review: WandaVision – S1/E2 Review
Despite the intriguing reveal from the end of the first episode, it’s straight back into the comfortingly familiar 1950s monochromatic, white picket fenced sitcom setting for the second episode of […]
TV Review: WandaVision – S1/E1 Review
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is often accused of being a bit too cookie cutter at times, in terms of tone and content. Though the now-sprawling universe of interconnected characters is […]
Film Review: Fantastic Four (2015)
Or, as the poster would cringily have you think the title was: Fant4stic. Though Marvel’s First Family have reached the big screen before in two middling-at-best 00s efforts, they’ve never […]
Review: Batman: The Telltale Series – The Enemy Within
I’m a big fan of the story-based games that the now defunct Telltale Games specialised in. They seemed to perfect the formula with The Walking Dead in 2012, after a […]
Comic Book Review: Old Haunts #3
The story of three made men with some dark secrets that are literally coming back to haunt them, Old Haunts continues building tension in its third issue, with a flashback to the childhood of our protagonists and some much more personal insights into the events that have led to the present day. There’s a single panel here that blew me […]
Comic Book Review: The Thirteenth Floor: Home Sweet Home
When I was growing up in the 80s, I was absolutely fascinated with horror and gruesome imagery. I was watching and reading content that should have been, in hindsight, way […]
Review: Flufftopia
Available for PC via itch.io – Price: $1.50 – By: SmokeSomeFrogs I hate gatekeeping. People telling others that what they’re doing isn’t right based on some imaginary, arbitrary rules that […]
Review: Creature Street
Available now on PC (itch.io – pay what you want) It seems like everyone and their anthropomorphic dog is playing Animal Crossing right now, which is great. Though Animal Crossing has always been popular – I’ve been a huge fan since 2004 – with the arrival of Animal Crossing: New Horizons at a time when many people have an unusually […]
Review: Gears of War 4
Note: as with my other Gears of War reviews, I’ve not checked out the vast and popular suite of multiplayer options; my thoughts here are based on the campaign alone. As the first post-Epic Games, post-Xbox 360 and post-original trilogy Gears of War entry, Gears of War 4 had an awful lot to prove. Could it work without Cliffy B’s […]
