Bug! The Adventures Of Forager – A (Comic) Book Review
This issue is so gloriously weird and so masterfully executed that you have to experience it. It’s seriously a must-read book for any comic lover out there. As part of the Young Animal imprint (which is a division of DC Comics and, apparently, somehow connected to the mainstream content), Bug! The Adventures Of Forager utilizes several…

King Arthur: Legend Of the Sword – A Movie Review
If you’re fan of either Guy Ritchie or King Arthur, I think you’ll be very pleased with King Arthur: Legend Of the Sword. Fresh and visually captivating, you haven’t ever seen this King Arthur before. This is an ass-kickin’ King Arthur who grew up rough on the streets in a house of ill repute. He…

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…

Mighty Thor: Thunder In Her Veins by Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman – A Book Review
This new approach to Thor is both refreshing and inspired. As you can see from the cover, Thor is no longer the Thor with whom you’ve grown familiar. Thor is now, well, a woman. A masked woman, in fact. By the time this volume rolls around, it’s already established that the new Thor is actually…

Briggs Land by Brian Wood & Mack Chater – A Book Review
I’ve never been disappointed in a Brian Wood book, so when I ran across Briggs Land: State of Grace (Volume 1), I knew I had to check it out. I’m so glad I did. The premise is perhaps as relevant as ever in that Briggs Land is a self-proclaimed sovereign nation within the United States.…

Underground Airlines by Ben H. Winters – A Book Review
If you’re looking for a book that will send your imagination into overdrive, this is the one. The idea in Underground Airlines is that slavery did not end. Four states — Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi — did not abolish slavery, namely because the Civil War never occurred. The Underground Airlines is much like the…

Passengers – A Movie Review
I love the recent resurgence of space movies. To me, it’s a sign that we are regaining a societal urge to explore the stars once again. Could this reflect a renewed dissatisfaction with Earthly events? Perhaps. Passengers did not initially demand my visit to the theater. Honestly, I like Jennifer Lawrence, but she’s not “must-see”…

Nocturnal Animals – A Movie Review
When I first heard about this movie, I thought it sounded really interesting so I immediately ran to the source material, Tony and Susan. You may remember I reviewed that novel back in October. (You don’t? No worries. Click HERE to read the review.) Sadly, I didn’t make it to the theater in time to…

Manifest Destiny: Sasquatch by Dingess and Roberts
This is one of my favorite ongoing series, and Volume 4 entitled Sasquatch is no exception to the previously established excellence! We finally discover exactly how President Jefferson procured the skull of the Sasquatch which served as the impetus for Lewis and Clark’s true mission westward. That epiphany alone makes this book completely worth the…
