Gotham Season 1 Eps 11-12 (TV Show Review)
Fox’s Gotham had a very interesting mid-season finale in that it ended with Gordon demoted from being a Detective on the GCPD to a watchman at the Arkham facility, which had recently been the metaphorical scene for a war of control between Don Falcone and Don Maroni. Other characters weren’t all that well-off either, and […]

Battlestar Galactica: Death of Apollo #2 (Comics Review)
Battlestar Galactica: Death of Apollo #1 debuted last month, and proved to be quite a fun issue that took the reader back to the classic television series, focusing on the ace pilots Apollo and Starbuck. The core concept of Battlestar Galactica is that the robotic antagonists Cylons wipe out the Twelve Colonies of the Human […]

SHIELD #2 (Comics Review)
The last week of comics of 2014, that is, the week of 31.12.2014, saw the release of SHIELD #1, a new comics series from Marvel that is presumably set in its own continuity and also contains characters from Agents of SHIELD, Marvel’s first live-action show that is currently in its second season. To see characters […]
Grayson #6 (Comics Review)
On a list of 25 of the best new comics series to come out last year,��Grayson by the creative team of Tim Seeley, Tom King and Mikel Janin scored 19. Now, that might seem like a low number, but the fact is that��Grayson came out in a year filled to the brim with absolutely great […]

Marvel’s Star Wars #1 (Comics Review)
By now, pretty much everyone knows that Lucasfilm is now owned by Disney and that the giant mega-corp is going to be putting out new Star Wars movies through its own studio and comics through its Marvel publishing arm. Since this whole thing kicked off, I’ve been very dead-set against what Disney is doing with […]
Conan/Red Sonja #1 (Comics Review)
When it comes to swords and sorcery fantasy, there are no bigger icons than Conan and Red Sonja I must say. Sure, there might be some other heroes out there as well, but the creations of Robert E. Howard and Roy Thomas have well-stood the test of time and are very popular today in the […]

Comics Picks For 07.01.2015
No “Magic 40″ in the first week of the new year, but the second week definitely sees me hit that landmark number, and with graphic novels mixed in to boot! This week’s surprise hits were Angry Birds/Transformers #2 from IDW Publishing, Ares & Aphrodite #1 from Oni Press, Operation: S.I.N. #1 and Wolverines #1 from […]

Agent Carter Season 1 Ep 3 (TV Show Review)
Last week’s debut of Agent Carter, with the airing of the first two episodes of the new show, proved to be a great experience. A period piece set in the post-WWII 1940s but with a Marvel Cinematic Universe touch, it worked really well as social commentary and as an action drama, exploring what happened with […]
Fast-Shot Comics Reviews 07.01.2015

So, welcome to the first good and proper edition of this new feature, and have a blast! The picks for this week are: Eternal Warrior: […]

Swamp Thing #38 (Comics Review)
Swamp Thing is one of those New 52 launch titles that I’ve wanted to read for a long time but didn’t get around to until very recently. And then it all just kind of happened last month and I blitzed through the three recent issues so I could be all caught up on the current […]
