Advent Review #1: Catwoman #36 (Comics Review)

Last month Genevieve Valentine and Garry Brown began their tenure on DC’s Catwoman, in a strong effort to shepherd the title and the titular character through a new phase in her life as she takes over Gotham’s underworld as Selina Kyle Calabrese, following some some relatively recent events in Batman: Eternal where she is revealed to […]

Samurai Jack #14 (Comics Review)

With the current arc on Samurai Jack, Jim Zub has been exploring Jack’s past and how he got his fabled sword, a weapon that has been his constant companion on his dark journey to get back to his own time and defeat Aku once and for all. With the blade broken during a ritual to short-cut […]

Scarlet Spiders #1 (Comics Review)

Spider-Verse has been crawling along for a few weeks without much direction so far. It started off well-enough but the utter proliferation of tie-ins has just about killed it for me. I’m hanging on only for a few characters like Gwen Stacy, Jessica Drew, Kaine, Ben Reilly, Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir and a few others but […]

Comics Picks For 19.11.2014

No “Magic 40″ this week since I wasn’t able to get around to a lot of the comics I wanted to get through this week, largely because I am traveling and in India for a cousin’s marriage. These things always take up a lot of time. I haven’t even had a chance to work on […]

The Flash Season 1 Ep 7 (TV Show Review)

Next week we are going to see what the last six episodes of The Flash and the current season of Arrow have all been building towards, an epic crossover between CW’s two greatest shows to date, bringing together two of the most prominent superheroes of recent years, Barry Allen aka The Flash and Oliver Queen aka […]

Fast-Shot Comics Reviews 19.11.2014

Batman ’66: The Lost Episode #1 (Comics Review)

Batman ’66 stands as one of the best examples of superhero television done right. The show was quite phenomenal in its time and I remember watching reruns as a kid in the late 90s, and getting all excited whenever the action directions lit up on the screen with “BAM!” and “KAPOW!” and what not. Oh […]

Dungeons & Dragons: Legends of Baldur’s Gate #2 (Comics Review)

Last month we got to see Jim Zub’s unique take on the Forgotten Realms lore with his new mini-series Legends of Baldur’s Gate, which is intended as a tie-in effort by Wizards of the Coast for the upcoming expansion Tyranny of Dragons. The first issue, right out of the gate, was an excellent one and […]

Sleepy Hollow Season 2 Ep 10 (TV Show Review)

A whole lot of different things are happening very quickly now on Sleepy Hollow as Henry aka the Horseman of War, prepares to unleash his master Moloch the Horrid King on the world, and bring about the Apocalypse. In the last few episodes we’ve seen how Henry has brought Moloch into the real world, using […]

Gotham Season 1 Ep 10 (TV Show Review)

As it moved towards its mid-season finale, Gotham introduced viewers to a new version of ADA Harvey Dent, one of the most classic of all Batman villains, known also as Two-Face. It was a fairly good episode, though also quite filler in some ways, so not all that exciting. But still, the job done with Dent, […]
