Master of Sanctity by Gav Thorpe (Book Review)

Gav Thorpe is rightly considered Black Library’s resident Dark Angels expert, for he has written more about them than any other author and he even had a hand in shaping their lore back when he worked in the Games Workshop Design Studio on the Dark Angels codex, among other things. Last year, he started a […]

Death Vigil #5 (Comics Review)

Stjepan Sejic has been building up to an epic showdown between Team Evil and Team Good for a while now, pretty much since the start actually. He has shown us the Death Vigil through the eyes of the new recruit Clara and at the same time we have also seen some stuff with many of […]

Arrow Season 2.5 #6 (Comics Review)

While CW’s Arrow has been chugging along well enough with its third season, DC has been chugging along with its companion digital-first comic that explores the time between the last season and the new one. Not much has actually happened here, other than the fact that the Church of Blood has become resurgent under Clinton Hogue, […]

Red Sonja #13 (Comics Review)

It has been an excellent year and a half for fans of Red Sonja, the She-Devil With A Sword. With Gail Simone and Walter Geovani’s reboot of one of Dynamite’s most enduring and consistently successful titles, Red Sonja has seen a huge upsurge in popularity and interest and there have even been quite a few mini-series […]

New Suicide Squad #4 (Comics Review)

DC’s reboot of its Suicide Squad title has become one of my favourites from the publisher. New Suicide Squad brings on board a better writer with some better artists than before, and it tells a focused story that has thankfully avoided getting into crossovers from the start. The line-up itself is pretty amazing, with the cream […]

Arrow Season 3 Ep 6 (TV Show Review)

In “The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak” last week we got to see some really great things with all the characters as Felicity’s mom strolled into Starling City for some quality time with her daughter and we got to see how Felicity became the person that she was when she first met Oliver back in […]

The Phantom #1 (Comics Review)

The Phantom is one of my favourite pulp heroes ever. I grew up reading the Indian comics, and even the short-lived live-action television series. Not to mention the good days when Flash Gordon, Mandrake and Phantom joined together to take down some really nefarious villains with plans to take over the world. Those were some […]

The Flash Season 1 Ep 5 (TV Show Review)

CW’s latest, The Flash, has been going all-out of late, as the previous episode proved when Leonard Snart and Mick Rory aka Captain Cold and Heat Wave made their live-action debuts. Given that the season premiere kicked off with The Rogues staple Weather Wizard, it was pretty much a given that the supervillain team would […]

Agents of SHIELD Season 2 Ep 7 (TV Show Review)

Last week’s episode was pretty damn intense, especially with that killer ending when Grant Ward escaped the government troops who took over custody of him from Coulson’s SHIELD agents. Throughout the episode, we were treated to one twist after another as we saw how Grant and his brother Senator Christian Ward manipulated the people around […]

Gotham Season 1 Ep 8 (TV Show Review)

In last week’s episode of Gotham, we got to see some really big things happen. There were lots of plot-threads running through the episode that found their genesis in the show’s premier, and it brought things to a nice conclusion, for now. The game board was changed in a major way and the cliffhanger promised […]
