Batgirl #35 (Comics Review)
Gail Simone ended her incredible run on the New 52 version of Batgirl last month with Batgirl: Future’s End #1. Her run on the title made it one of my favourite titles in DC’s current stable, and right from the start I loved almost everything that she did, paired up with a variety of different […]
Arrow Season 3 Ep 1 (TV Show Review)
I’ve remarked before that DC is going pretty much all-out in its bid to develop more and more properties for television. First there was the (mostly) celebrated 10 season run of Smallville a few years back. Then came Arrow in 2012, quickly becoming a fan-favourite. And this year we are getting Gotham and The Flash (both […]

Earth 2: World’s End #1 (Comics Review)
Earlier this year, DC started putting out weekly comics once again, with Batman: Eternal being the first, and then in May followed the second one, Future’s End. While the former takes place in the current DC timeline, at least for the Gotham-centric characters, the latter takes place five years from the present timeline and is […]
Comics Picks For 01.10.2014
After two straight weeks of reading 38 singles and 2 graphic novels, this week saw me lagging behind, with only 36 singles read and no graphic novels at all. Makes me kind of sad since there were comics that I was really looking forward to reading in GN format, but I just couldn’t get the […]
Agents of SHIELD Season 2 Ep 3 (TV Show Review)
In a stark contrast to season one, the second season of Agents of SHIELD has gotten off to a really good start in almost all respects and has been chugging along on a good pace. So far this season we’ve seen some new villains and also a few new mysteries. One of my mos anticipated “mystery-to-be-explored” […]
The Flash Season 1 Ep 1 (TV Show Review)
One of the many new characters introduced in the second season of Arrow last year, Barry Allen probably stands out as the most anticipated and most exciting. After all, Barry Allen is The Flash, DC’s Scarlet Speedster. There have been many other heroes who have called themselves The Flash, such as Jay Garrick and Wally […]

The Blacklist Season 2 Ep 3 (TV Show Review)
Last week The Blacklist closed out one phase of the ongoing feud between Red and Berlin, leaving viewers with a vague promise that the two might be able to ally with each other to root out whoever had caused the feud between them in the first place. It was a pretty damn good episode, especially […]
Gotham Season 1 Ep 3 (TV Show Review)
Two weeks into Fox’s Gotham, the latest comics-based show on air, and I think that things are going great for comics fans everywhere. This is the big year for comics properties, what with old shows coming back for new seasons and new shows getting off one after anoher. Gotham is the lone charger at the […]
Brides of Helheim #1 (Comics Review)
I find the Age of Vikings to be a great setting, with a lot of storytelling potential, no matter what kind of a story you tell with it. There’s something very intriguing about the entire era and the myths that have come out of it, and the entire Nordic culture as well. Whether it be […]

The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood #1 (Comics Review)
When I started watching Leverage last year, one thing that stuck out at me was the motivation behind former insurance investigator Nathan Ford turns to a life of confidence games: he couldn’t find a proper cure for his dying son in time to make a difference and was effectively betrayed by his own company in […]
