While I can only approximate where you, dear reader, are, where I am is finally light jacket weather and I am just so excited to be producing vitamin D again.
REVIEW: The #SnyderCut: Better, Different, Fine
The tale behind the Snyder Cut, or Zack Snyder’s Justice League, is long and complicated. There was the tragedy behind Zack Snyder leaving Justice League, the Joss Whedon reshoots, the mustache, the fan campaign to #RestoretheSnyderCut, the fan harassment. The news that Ray Fisher had allegedly been completely sidelined on the set of Justice League…
REVIEW: New Mutants #16 – A Crowded Room
The word of the arc is synergy, both in power sets and community. New Mutants has a broad cast of characters it follows: members of the titular New Mutants team, the younger generations of mutants who have been around for years but never allowed to age, and actual new-new mutants, like Cosmar (both newly powered…
ADVANCE REVIEW: America Chavez: Made in the USA #1
America Chavez is a lot of things: queer, Latina, a great puncher, a good friend, a caring partner. She’s been hailed as good representation and criticized for being bad reputation, been lauded as progressive and torn down as stereotypical. Basically, despite being a relatively young character — she was created by Joe Casey and Nick…
Last Week’s Episode: Tweety Mysteries
No real pithy intro this week because all I can think about is fuck Ted Cruz.
REVIEW: New Mutants #15 – Passages to Krakoa
New Mutants continues to pick at the seams that hold Krakoa together in #15. The issue is titled, “Out of the Shadows,” but it’s questionable what is actually being exposed here—the motivations of some young mutants, or the limitations of the current resurrection protocols?
Last Week’s Episode: The Devil You Know
We’ve rolled into hopefully the most boring week of January (certainly yesterday was the quietest Wednesday, GameStocks aside), but that doesn’t mean there isn’t exciting news about casting, streaming, and more!
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.
REVIEW: New Mutants #14 – What Up, Warlock?
New Mutants as a title and a team managed to leave X of Swords unscathed — while Cypher is now married to Bei the Blood Moon, he’s taken his bride back to Krakoa with him and appears none the worse for wear. In New Mutants #14, we find that the team members who weren’t off…
Best Small Press, Indies, & Webcomics of 2020!
This 2020 was tough for me as an indie comics reader because, well, there were no cons for me to pick up wares! No zinefests or the pleasure of perusing the indie racks at my local comic shop. Luckily, there were virtual fests and cons for me to find some good books, and Webtoons are…
Last Week’s Episode: Disney Deluge+
Yesterday Disney dropped an entire mountain of new programming, which honestly fills me with a lot of mixed and uncomfortable emotions. Like,surely one of the ten Star Wars shows announced could have been axed to pay to furlough some of the 11,000+ park employees that have been laid off?
Last Week’s Episode: Thanksgiving Staycation
It’s American Thanksgiving and I hope y’all are hunkered down, being safe, and having a nice meal today, even if you don’t celebrate. If you’re looking for a way to occupy your time because you’re not surrounded by relatives, there’s only one more day to check out the Native Cinema Showcase at the Nation Museum…
