Apparently the Media sector didn’t want their little brother Comics to get all of mom’s attention, so there are quite a few industry shakeups to discuss. There is plenty of fan love and speculation to go around this week in nerd news! We don’t play favorites here. (Well, only sometimes.)

Cyber Wars and Cyber Wars: Doctor Who’s “Ascension of the Cybermen”
- Reviews, Television and Film
- February 27, 2020
Last season’s finale, “The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos”, was one of the worst episodes of post-2005 Doctor Who. Not because it was offensively bad, but because it was completely forgettable. This season, Chris Chibnall instead tried to create big, memorable moments in every story. In “Ascension of the Cybermen”, Chibnall and director Jamie Magnus

Bloodlust and Bonnets by Emily McGovern tells a fast-paced and absurdist adventure story in which an amoral young lady called Lucy teams up with Lord Byron and some other vaguely reliable pals to hunt vampires. There’s a giant eagle who speaks French and communicates telepathically. It’s a lot of fun.

Wolverine #1: Who Wants to Read an X-Men War on Drugs Comic?
- Reviews
- February 25, 2020
The first thing you should know about Wolverine #1 is that it costs $7.99. That actually ends up being quite good value for a comic that includes 70 pages of story. Actually, it’s not really one story, it’s two and, sadly, neither feel particularly worth the cover price. HOWEVER there is a big reveal here

- Television and Film
- February 25, 2020
Knives Out was easily my favorite movie I saw in 2019. I’m a sucker for a good mystery, lavish set design, and biting social commentary, particularly when it plays with form as much as Knives Out does. I saw it twice, the first time hooked by the premise and carried along on exhilaration, the second

Since issue #6, Kate Pryde has been afloat in the ocean surrounding Madripoor and I have diligently refused to believe that her death could possibly be real, despite Russell Dauterman’s cover reveal for issue #11.
