Advent Review #6: Grayson #5 (Comics Review)

I can say without any reservations that Tom King and tim Seeley’s Grayson has been a damn fun ride since it debuted a few months ago. Each issue has introduced new mysteries, done a lot to develop Dick Grayson as a character, and also chart a bold new era for the titular hero with respect to […]

Death of Wolverine: Weapon X Program #3 (Comics Review)

Marvel’s Death of Wolverine: Weapon X Program series has been kicking along just fine since it debuted almost a month ago. Being a mini-series that explores the aftermath of Death of Wolverine that saw the titular character die after facing one of his worst enemies, his creator in fact, there have been some pretty big revelations […]

Inhuman #9 (Comics Review)

The recent issues of Inhuman have focused on exploring the fate of the Inhumans’ missing King, Black Bolt, and his brother Maximus. This has been one of the biggest mysteries of the Marvel universe in the wake of last year’s Infinity event and the last two issues have done much to enlighten readers about where these […]

Advent Review #5: Secret Six #1 (Comics Review)

Gail Simone’s run on Secret Six prior to the New 52 launch three years ago isn’t something that I’ve had much experience with. In fact, the only such experience is a read of the first volume of the series that I did last year and the story and art were pretty decent. Though I suppose […]

Advent Review #4: Arrow Season 3 Ep 8 (TV Show Review)

The previous episode of Arrow brought out Arrow-fangirl Cupid who wanted to be the hero’s sidekick and even developed a ruinous romantic attraction for him. It was a pretty decent episode that also brought forward the expected kickassery of Tatsu Yamashiro, the future superhero Katana. However, it was a relatively stand-alone episode and what actually leads […]

Advent Review #3: The Flash Season 1 Ep 8 (TV Show Review)

In last week’s episode of The Flash we saw what would and could happen if Barry somehow lost his powers and there was a situation where two different villains were loose in the city, one of them a metahuman, the other not quite so much. It was a good episode because of all the different things […]

Advent Review #2: Sleepy Hollow Season 2 Ep 11 (TV Show Review)

In last week’s “Magnum Opus” we got to see some truly incredible things from everyone involved on the front-face of the show. The acting was superb. The writing was superb. The execution was superb. It was, in many ways, one of most sublime of all episodes on the show so far, possibly rivaling only last […]

Arrow Season 2.5 #7 (Comics Review)

I remarked back in the review for Arrow Season 2.5 #6 that despite rumours, the digital-first issue didn’t quite feel like an end to the “Blood” arc. It rounded off with the heroes escaping the clutches of the Church of Blood and them discovering some disturbing things about the enemy, which came as a shock […]

Sensation Comics #16 (Comics Review)

After some really good opening arcs, some of the recent issues of DC’s digital-first Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman haven’t exactly been good tales, hence why I’ve avoided reviewing them as well. I just can’t focus on stories so damn boring and pedestrian. All the same, I think this title is still good because of the […]

Justice League Dark #36 (Comics Review)

The two recent issues of Justice League Dark have fleshed out a story where the House of Mystery and the House of Secrets conspire to use the supernatural League for their own ends and the whole process ends up throwing the team out of space and out of time, scattered in different directions and quite aimless […]
