The best film of 2023’s first quarter, this iteration of D&D is everything that high adventure should be! The jokes hit more bullseyes than they miss, the menace is balanced out with enough charm to keep things fun, and unlike a live game of D&D, “Honor Among Thieves” has no problem spoofing itself and doesn’t… Read More »
As Nirvana and Jay-Z before them, McFarlane and Capullo have put a stripped down twist on a modern classic that in many cases makes it better than the “studio version” previously released to consumers. Batman/Spawn : Unplugged is a silent comic that allows McFarlane and Capullo’s pencils and inks to speak volumes to readers. Whether… Read More »
I have to say that DC is way more balanced when it comes to representation of their readership in contrast to Marvel after it was acquired by the devil with the mouse ears for horns. Yet again, Marvel has released another “inclusion” anthology entitled Wakanda Forever, which just like the film is only focused on… Read More »
Marvel Studios has just dropped their most boring movie since The Legend of The Ten Rings. Living real estate and rebel fighters led by a wannabe-Ronda Rousey are not enough to hide the fact that Quantumania features characters that no audience really cares about from the heroes to the villains. Evangeline Lily is unconvincing as Michelle… Read More »
If Coogler’s Black Panther was not the most tone-deaf in diplomatic policy when it comes to guarding Wakanda’s secrets, then DeMatteis’ Orisha can easily snatch first place when observing her role in Kraven’s origin via Spider-Man : The Lost Hunt. I’ve enjoyed seeing Aja Orisha on panel since she was set up as Pete and… Read More »
Comic book heads tend to have a habit of reading legacy titles under specific storylines or specific writer’s or penciller’s that they deem superior to others. Vampirella has been around since racial epithets were allowed to fly in comics like capes in the wind so that makes it even more ironic that Christopher Priest (a… Read More »
With the Wrestlemania sign hanging high above the Alamodome it was go time for the women’s roster of WWE looking to start 2023 with a bang. The thirty-sixth Royal Rumble was in full succession from Texas the world over on January 28th beginning with a confident performance from reigning Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair against… Read More »
New York City : by far the busiest most impersonal community to be found on the face of the known atlas. A place where there is only seconds to catch a breath in between conducting acts of business. It’s not surprising then when a person walks into a store even as niche as a comic… Read More »
“Violent Night” was branded as yet another public domain property with an R-rated twist. In that, Wirkola did not disappoint. But for those looking for a film with a more serious tone, the goofiness in Casey and Miller’s script substituting a much needed dose of black humor leaves much to be desired in a film… Read More »
Chuck Brown’s “Flawed” is yet another action packed and entertaining narrative in his bibliography focused around P.O.C. characters without pandering towards the demographic or over-exaggerating stereotypes. Yeah, Gem’s a psychiatrist, but I can remember Ms. Burton and Laqueshia who both were court appointed therapists for me in my teen’s spent in California’s foster care system… Read More »
