Death of Wolverine: Life After Logan #1 (Comics Review)
In the wake of Marvel mainstay Wolverine’s recent death, the publisher has put out several new one-shots and mini-series that both celebrate the character’s long history and his legacy and also show the aftermath and what kind of an effect his death has had on the Marvel universe. Many characters are grieving while others are […]

John Carter: Warlord of Mars #1 (Comics Review)
Dynamite Entertainment’s adaptations of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter novels and the spinoff Dejah Thoris comics were among my first introductions to the world of comics when I got back into them in 2012. Since then, I’ve had a lot of fun in reading many of the different stories that have been put out in […]
Comics Picks For 29.10.2014
Hit the almost-magic number of 35 once again and though I have yet to repeat my personal best of 40, I think this was my best week regardless since I managed to read 31 singles and 4 graphic novels. That definitely counts as an achievement, yes? My surprise hits for this week would be Tales of […]

Sleepy Hollow Season 2 Ep 7 (TV Show Review)
The last two episodes of Sleepy Hollow have focused on how our characters have a past that comes back to haunt them in some way, whether it is a jilted lover that Ichabod knew back in the day, or the son of Abby’s mentor who took her in when she was a lost and confused […]
Gotham Season 1 Ep 7 (TV Show Review)
Right in the very first episode of Gotham, we saw some pretty big things happen. The Waynes were murdered. Gordon and Bullock caught the supposed murderer and killed him (though it later turned out that it was a setup). The two came close to losing their lives at the hands of Fish Mooney, one of […]

Portents by Sarah Cawkwell (Book Review)
I’ve mentioned before, repeatedly so, that Sarah Cawkwell is one of my favourite authors right now, and has been since about late 2010 or so, ever since I started reading her short stories in Black Library’s monthly magazine, Hammer & Bolter, which is sadly discontinued now. She’s one of the best examples of fans of […]
Inhuman #7 (Comics Review)
Marvel’s Inhuman has a title that comes with a lot of baggage. Initially it was to be a part of a new mini-event resulting from the end of last year’s Infinity. But the creative differences between writer Matt Fraction and Marvel Editorial meant that Inhumanity didn’t really go anywhere and when Inhuman finally was released […]

Fantastic Four #12 (Comics Review)
Things are really beginning to heat up in James Robinson’s run on Fantastic Four. We’ve seen Marvel’s first family broken apart as a schism forms between Ben and Johnny, the team loses its home in the Baxter Building, and the children of the Future Foundation are taken away by SHIELD, and more. It is some […]
Arrow Season 2.5 #5 (Comics Review)
CW’s Arrow has begun to find its groove in its new third season, and it has also started casting the net really wide when it comes to characters and events, with the most recent episode last week going back in time to a rather key moment in season 1. But of course, some of the […]

Wayward #3 (Comics Review)
I’ve said before that this is a really busy year for Jim Zub, and that couldn’t have been truer last week when he rolled out Dungeons & Dragons: Legends of Baldur’s Gate #1 from IDW Publishing. Given all the other tie-in work he does for Pathfinder and Samurai Jack, he’s also a busy man with […]
