REVIEW: Snoopy, Come Home is a Canine Classic

REVIEW: The Antifa Super-Soldier Cookbook Serves Up Distressingly On-Point, But Hilarious, Political Satire
“What if everything the right thought about the left was real?” That’s the driving premise behind The Antifa Super-Soldier Cookbook, the latest from The Nib’s own Matt Lubchansky. To be honest, the premise puzzled me a little at first. On the one hand, I’m automatically a bit wary of anything that might end up being…

REVIEW: X-Men #19 – Days of Future, Passed
The City inside the Vault is, at its core, a paradox. As the name suggests, its very existence is an enigma: simultaneously infinite and claustrophobic, it appears post-apocalyptically empty but hides a deadly enemy around every corner. The “genesis tomb” of the Children of the Vault, superpowered post-humans genetically designed for world domination, the City…
Previously on Comics: Blasts from the Past
Hello, reader. It’s Kate, who has awoken from winter hibernation just to write about comics for you. And that’s not the only thing that’s a blast from the past this week. When I first got into DC comics, about 15 years ago, the comic that got me into comics was the Geoff Johns and Mike…
Review: The Way of the Househusband Anime Has Lost Its Way
Everything is epic in J.C.Staff Studio and Netflix’s anime adaptation of The Way of the Househusband. From the rocking metal intro that juxtaposes Tatsu’s (Tacchan’s) favorite Shiba Inu apron with his irezumi, to the time Tacchan shows up as Santa Claus for his local community center. It’s fun, but unfortunately, these epic scenes were already…

REVIEW: Invincible Soars, but Can’t Escape its Source Material
I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into the premiere of Amazon’s Invincible series. I had long since soured on the comic (the early issues were a favorite of teenage Zoe, but the quick descent into Robert Kirkman’s stock gore and shock reveals made me abandon ship). Still, the idea of a big-budget Western…
