Manifest Destiny: Mnemophobia & Chronophobia by Dingess and Roberts – A Book Review
Manifest Destiny is one of my favorite comic books running at the moment. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, Lewis and Clark are still exploring the American wilderness west of St. Louis, but in this alternate history, they are not merely mapping out the landscape and marking rivers, they are also analyzing any potential preternatural…

Star Wars: Screaming Citadel – A Book Review
I’ve greatly enjoyed the various Marvel Star Wars series, but Star Wars: Yoda’s Secret War left me a little unsatisfied. I’m very happy to say that the next installment–Screaming Citadel–righted the course and returned the series to its high standard. Of course, this volume is not just comprised of the Star Wars series. It also…

Beauty and the Beast (2017) – A Movie Review
I know we’re super late to this party, but we literally just watched this for the first time last night. I’ve been after my daughters for months to view it with me, but they were hesitant. They were concerned the Beast would be too scary, the wolves too vicious. Well, within minutes, they were completely…

My Reaction To the First Episode Of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
My wife and I have been meaning to watch this Amazon original for several weeks now, and last night we finally got around to the first episode. In a word, we would describe it as “charming.” If you’re unfamiliar with the plot, an upper-class Jewish housewife becomes a stand-up comic after her would-be comedian husband…

East of West: Volume 7 by Hickman and Dragotta
East of West continues to be one of the most satisfying series that I’m following. Even with the seventh volume, Jonathan Hickman engages the reader with innovative plot development and surprising character development. I never know what’s coming next with this series, and that’s about the highest compliment that I can pay. If you’re unfamiliar…

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – A Movie Review
The first half of this review will reveal no specific spoilers. I will offer a warning and then a page break before I get into specifics situations. However, I will generally address the tone and plot devices in the beginning of this review. If you do not want any sort of preconceived notion before seeing…

Doomsday Clock #1 – A (Comic) Book Review
This series by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank came out of nowhere for me. I literally heard about it maybe a month or two before its release. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, Doomsday Clock reportedly merges the world of Watchmen with the DC Universe proper. Brief history lesson: Alan Moore, author of Watchmen, originally…

Justice League – A Movie Review (Spoiler-Free)
I attended Justice League on Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. As you may remember, I felt very excited and had very high hopes. With great relief, I report to you that Justice League exceeded my expectations. First of all, I will freely admit that I am incredibly bias. I love these characters. I’ve been reading…

All In With Justice League
Tomorrow night the moment finally arrives. The Justice League debuts. I have literally loved these characters since the age of three. I loved Super Friends, I loved the subsequent Super Powers, I loved all of the Batman, Superman, and Aquaman cartoons in-between. I’ve followed their comic book stories from the Detroit era to the Bwa-ha-ha…

Thor: Ragnarok – A Movie Review
I love the first Thor, but the sequel—The Dark World—left me unimpressed. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the loveable cast of The Dark World, I’d like it even less. There’s a lot to be said for having Natalie Portman, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, and Stellan…
