He-Man: The Eternity War #3 (Comics Review)
The first two installments of��The Eternity War have been very impressive. Writer Dan Abnett did some great work in the now-cancelled ongoing and then he ported all of that to the new series, where he has finally pitched He-Man against Hordak in a mass epic war that is something straight out of a fantasy novel. […]

Darth Vader #2 (Comics Review)
Marvel launched its new line of��Star Wars comics in January/February and one of the many new titles is Darth Vader, which is set in the aftermath of the Battle of Yavin and has Darth Vader trying to make up for his mistakes. Or at least, that’s what I think writer Kieron Gillen is attempting to […]
John Carter: Warlord of Mars #4 (Comics Review)
One of the newest kids on the block,��John Carter: Warlord of Mars has turned out to be pretty impressive, reminding me of Arvid Nelson’s first arc on Warlord of Mars, which totally made me fall in love with the characters and the setting, though the movie John Carter had done that already to a great […]
Daughter of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts (Book Review)
As I have said before, my “25 Series To Read In 201x” reading challenge is meant to allow me to touch base with trilogies (and longer series) that are out in publication currently and have proven to be big successes while also going back to read some classics, especially a few favourites that I have […]

Arrow Season 3 Ep 15 (TV Show Review)
I remember back in the first season of Arrow, there were a ton of breaks in the show. It was as if we couldn’t go a straight month without one break in-between episodes or something. It was quite frustrating for someone like me, who hadn’t really watched shows “live” before, binge-watching entire seasons being more […]
Agent Carter Season 1 Ep 8 (TV Show Review)
Marvel’s��Agent Carter has been building up to a climactic finish for a couple weeks now, introducing some really great twists in order to flesh out the story of how the ignored Peggy Carter became one of the SSR’s top agents and how the SSR eventually transforms into SHIELD. For me, last week’s episode “Snafu” managed […]

Sleepy Hollow Season 2 Ep 18 (TV Show Review)
Last week, Fox’s Sleepy Hollow did something rather daring that I didn’t expect, twice. Not only was Henry killed off in the penultimate episode of the second season, but we also had Katrina travel back in the past to change history because of the circumstances of Henry’s death. What should have been a really emotional […]

Pathfinder: Origins #1 (Comics Review)
Last year, writer Jim Zub began and wrapped up his six-issue��Pathfinder: City of Secrets mini-series, which dealt with his cast of characters finding themselves at the heart of some really bad trouble in the city of Magnimar. Demons and the like were involved of course, not to mention a changeling that really messed up the […]
Ms. Marvel #12 (Comics Review)
Of late, Ms. Marvel writer G. Willow Wilson transformed the title from one that was meant to remind us of the incredible potential of brand-new characters (and young ones at that) to one where the title could actually tap into the apathy of the modern generation and force them to sit up and take notice […]
Agents of Artifice by Ari Marmell (Book Review)
A new year means a new reading challenge of the “25 Series I Want To Read” variety. You can find a list of authors and series (the original post for the challenge that is) over here. In the past two years that I’ve been doing this, I kinda-sorta completed the challenge in 2013, and I […]
