Comic Book Review: DC Pride #1
It’s wonderful to see comic book companies as big as DC and Marvel – both owned by big, somewhat conservative corporations who quite often play it safe in terms of […]
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 […]
TV Review: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier: S1/E6
The season finale is here – and there’s definitely the sense that I’d like to spend a lot more time in the company of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes. Though […]
Film Review: Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s The Fantastic Four (2015)
