Don’t Quit On Daredevil: Season 3
ScreenRant.com is saying that a lot of people gave up on Daredevil: Season 3. If you’re one of those viewers, give it another try. I finished this latest season about a week ago, and I have to tell you that after reflecting on it, I think this season is my favorite of all the Netflix…

Doctor Aphra: Remastered (Volume 3) – A Book Review
I still maintain that Doctor Aphra is one of the greatest additions to the Star Wars mythology in recent years, but this volume confirms my fear about the character–she cannot solely carry her own title. This installment tries to spice things up a bit by making Doctor Aphra beholden to Triple-Zero, the murderous entity in…

Jessica Jones: Season 2 – A Netflix Review
I really enjoyed the first season of Jessica Jones. The series had such a strong concept. It definitely wasn’t a super hero show, yet it featured a character with super human strength … who didn’t necessarily want her powers. She mostly just wanted to be left alone. The series felt far more like a thriller…

Black Panther – A Movie Review
This is NOT just another Marvel movie. Black Panther gamely partakes in the Marvel Universe while largely operating as a standalone action movie striving to deliver a societal message of great relevance. Let’s start with what I determine to be the most important aspect of Black Panther. I am a forty-one year old white male. …

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…

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…

Doctor Aphra: Volume 1 by Kieron Gillen and Kev Walker – A Book Review
First appearing in Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra quickly became a personal favorite of mine. In fact, along with Rey and Ahsoka Tano, I’d say she’s one of the most significant Star Wars characters to appear within the last ten years. Consequently, because she regularly stole the spotlight in Darth Vader and even Star Wars, Marvel…

Spider-Man: Homecoming – A Movie Review
I have to be honest, even though I thought Tom Holland’s Spider-Man proved one of the best parts of Civil War, I did not feel excited about yet another reboot of his own movie series. I absolutely did not want to sit through poor Uncle Ben getting killed yet again, Pete getting bitten by a…

Guardians Of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 – A Movie Review
I’ll be honest and admit that when Guardians Of the Galaxy came around back in 2014, I wasn’t all that into it. I didn’t even make it to the theater for a viewing. Truthfully, even when it came out on video, I didn’t think it was all that great. Funny? Sure. Different from any other…

Lando by Charles Soule and Alex Maleev – A Book Review
This is the Lando book you never knew you wanted. Trust me. I like Lando. You like Lando. Everyone likes Lando. The only problem is, most of us don’t have much exposure to Lando beyond the two Star Wars movies he’s in. Well, this book changes all of that. This graphic novel features our favorite…
