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…

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…

Shade, the Changing Girl: Vol. 1 by Cecil Castellucci and Marley Zarcone – A Book Review
If you’re looking for weird, Shade, the Changing Girl is for you. As part of DC Comics’ Young Animal imprint, author Cecil Castellucci is unafraid to make this book as strange a trip as possible. However, as odd as it is, at the core, it’s still a story of self-discovery and independent choice. Fan of…

Mother Panic: A Work In Progress by Jody Houser, Tommy Lee Edwards, and Shawn Crystal – A Book Review
The Young Animal imprint intrigued me, so when each of the various first issues debuted, I had to check them out. If we’re being honest with each other, Mother Panic #1 did not resonate. I did not much care for Violet Paige, the woman behind Mother Panic’s mask. I did not understand her motivation, her means,…

The Dark Tower – A Movie Review
I very much love The Dark Tower series. I believe when it is all said and done, these books will be remembered as Stephen King’s masterpiece–his magnum opus. We have long wished for Roland of Gilead to grace the big screen, but time after time we were burdened with disappointment as it simply never seemed…

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…

Wonder Woman – A Movie Review
You know I loved Batman v Superman, especially Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. You probably also remember that when the first preview Wonder Woman arrived, I got very excited. Last night, the wait ended, and my wife and I got to see Wonder Woman in her first solo film. It’s hard to articulate how much pressure I put on…

Alien: Covenant – A Movie Review
I wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan of the Alien franchise, but I definitely have fond memories of Aliens scaring the crap out of me as a kid. Honestly, believe it or not, Prometheus is what got me really excited for the revitalized Alien saga. Prometheus seemed innovative, smart, and full of ramifications for not…
