Aquaman #38 (Comics Review)
From one great story arc to the next, there’s no stopping Jeff Parker and Paul Pelletier it seems. The current arc, Maelstrom, has really done a number on fleshing out Aquaman’s personal history and also that of Atlantis itself. That is indeed something that seems to have carried over from Geoff Johns’ run on the […]

He-Man: The Eternity War #2 (Comics Review)
Last month, Dan Abnett kicked off the��Eternity War event for He-Man, along with artists Pop Mhan and Mark Roberts. The new series is the successor to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and it features the full and final showdown between He-Man and Hordak as the two battle it out for the fate of […]
Death Vigil #6 (Comics Review)
Last month we saw a pretty big and epic showdown go down between various members of the Death Vigil and the coven of necromancers who have opposed them for several centuries now. It was something that Stjepan Sejic had been building up for a while now, and to watch it unfold was something straight out […]

Arrow Season 3 Ep 11 (TV Show Review)
CW’s��Arrow returned last week and fan expectation was pretty high since the writers had seemingly killed off the hero in the mid-season finale. While the hero’s return was a bit too quick, and perhaps even too soon, the tempo was still right I think and I certainly appreciate that the writers have found a way […]

The Flash Season 1 Ep 11 (TV Show Review)
CW’s��The Flash roared back with its mid-season premiere last week by showing the first good and proper villain team-up between Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold and Mick Rory aka Heat Wave. As part of The Rogues, Captain Cold and Heat Wave certainly have a lot of cachet among Flash’s rogues gallery, and the ending of […]
Agent Carter Season 1 Ep 4 (TV Show Review)
The first three weeks of Marvel’s second live-action television show��Agent Carter have been quite spectacular. I fell in love with the show from the get-go and the writers and producers have certainly not disappointed. And the highlight was when the network defender the show’s initial low ratings, showing that the powers-that-be had full faith in […]
Fast-Shot Comics Reviews 21.01.2015
I skipped another FSCR last week, largely because I kind of felt… tired about the whole thing and just wasn’t in the mood I suppose. But, to make up, I’m definitely back in it for this week! The picks for this week are: Ivar, Timewalker #1, Scarlet Spiders #3, Spider-Woman #3, Wonder Woman #38,��Samurai Jack […]

Sleepy Hollow Season 2 Eps 13-14 (TV Show Review)
Sleepy Hollow’s mid-season premiere got off to a rocky but interesting start about 3 weeks back or so, though I find that with Moloch gone and done with, the show has lost a little bit of its appeal as well since things aren’t so “2 minutes to midnight” anymore. There’s a lack of urgency to […]
The Valiant #2 (Comics Review)
Valiant’s latest title,��The Valiant, debuted last month in what can only be called a smashing performance. The second of the publisher’s ongoing team titles, The Valiant brings together familiar heroes from Unity alongside several other heroes drawn from across the Valiant-verse to stop a major supernatural threat with deep ties to the oldest of them, […]

Black Widow #14 (Comics Review)
Black Widow ended on a great note last month, with the ongoing storyline of what happens when the global media at large learns of Natasha’s various activities, both covert and otherwise, and then proceeds to vilify her and question what her role with SHIELD and the Avengers really is. This also then segued into some […]
