Buffyverse Comics: Asylum, Shadow Puppets & Spike: the Complete Series
The Story so Far: I am reading and reviewing the Buffyverse comic series that are canon with the television shows they are based on, including Buffy Season 8, Fray, Spike, Angel & Faith and Angel: After the Fall among others. I will post a final reading list when I’ve caught up to season 10. I’ve […]
Game of Thrones: First of His Name
As far as mid-season episodes go, this one was less bang and more a slow burn. The past four episodes have been on about the same pace as well. After three stellar seasons, I am inclined to trust David Benioff & D. B. Weiss but I am beginning to wonder where they are taking us. […]

Buffyverse Comics Marathon: Conclusion of Angel After the Fall
The Story so Far: I am reading and reviewing the Buffyverse comic series that are canon with the television shows they are based on, including Buffy Season 8, Fray, Spike, Angel & Faith and Angel: After the Fall among others. I will post a final reading list when I’ve caught up to season 10. I’ve included links to my previous posts […]
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a complex and satiating adventure.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is, in my opinion, the best of the Spider-Man movies, and one of the best superhero films so far. They break away from what could be argued as the standard structure for a superhero film as much as possible. It is going to be a definite challenger to Captain America in […]
Southern Bastards #1: Deep Fried Crime
Three things frequently come to mind when thinking about the deep south: church, football, and home cookin’. Throw in a bit of immoral lawlessness and you have your recipe for Jason Aaron’s latest from Image Comics, Southern Bastards. Southern Bastards #1 Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Jason Latour Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: April 30, 2014 […]
Stray Bullets: Killers #2
First of all I apologize for what I’m about to write, I know a lot of you really like…You know what? Scratch that. I’m not apologizing. I officially hate this series now. What did I just read? I felt like I just watched Titanic. You know that feeling you get when you just wasted time […]
White Suits #1: Vodka, Guns, and Blood
The good old gritty crime drama. The format for these stories has been around for damn near one hundred years. You probably know the formula for a story like this, and don’t even realize it. The environments are some of the easiest to recognize as well. Gloomy weather, seedy alleys, dark rooms, smoke filled bars, […]
The Walking Dead #126: A New Beginning?
Wow! I will use the word a lot when talking about The Walking Dead. Because that’s usually the only thing I can say when reading it. Some ‘wow’, with a little bit of ‘holy shit!’ thrown in there for good measure. The Walking Dead #126 Writer: Robert Kirkman Artist: Charlie Adlard Publisher: Image Comics Release […]
Buffyverse Comics: Fray, Angel, and Spike: After the Fall
With new seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel & Faith just beginning, it seems like a good time to reread the Buffyverse comics so far. I will be reading and reviewing the series’ that are considered canon with the television shows they were based on including Buffy Season 8, Fray, Spike, Angel & […]
Game of Thrones: Oathkeeper
I am starting to think that those White Walkers are up to no good. Also I think we are now set up for a the mid season climax. Here is the problem now, that climax is a wild card. After the fallout from the royal wedding there are so many balls and blades in the […]
Stray Bullets: Killers 1- Good Writing But a Tough Read
I’ve never read Stray Bullets before, but if the rest of the series is anything like ‘Killers’, I won’t be anytime soon. Stray Bullets: Killers #1 Creator: David Lapham Publisher: Image Comics Release date: March 12, 2014 Now, if you’re a big David Lapham fan and love his work, I’m not saying the writing in […]
Book Review: The Truth About Alice
Jennifer Mathieu packs a punch. Her debut novel opens with rumors of Alice Franklin, the girl they say slept with two guys at a party. The girl who caused Brandon Fitzsimmons to die in a car accident. She used to be cool. She used to be well-liked, so what happened? Setting us straight are four […]
The Quiet Ones: Another Solid Showing from Hammer
The Quiet Ones, out April 25th, is the latest release from Hammer, the same studio that gave us The Woman in Black and Let Me In. With The Quiet Ones, director John Pogue takes familiar elements of the horror genre and weaves them into an interesting tale of academic hubris and the supernatural. I really […]
Sovereign #1 and #2: Foray into High Fantasy Fun
High fantasy concepts have been known to amass hordes of devoted fans, myself included. Image Comics would certainly be damned to the seven hells if they weren’t part of the epic passion created by the genre, and luckily they do the gods justice with their newest entry, Sovereign. SOVEREIGN #1 and #2 Writer: Chris […]
