REVIEW: Hellions #8 – Fruit of the Poisoned Tree
Hello from your Hellions pinch-hitter! This was not a title I had previously been reading (sorry to Alex Summers fans) but I’m pleased I nabbed this — despite being made up of characters I’d previously felt pretty neutral about, I’m 100% invested now.

Previously On Comics: Don’t Be A Fucking Nazi

Review: Star Trek Discovery’s “There Is A Tide…”
In my review of last week’s episode of Star Trek Discovery, I complained that Osyraa’s (Janet Kidder) motivations were unclear.
