Stings, the soft strongman, and our sleuth sum up the story in this supposed ending to Wicked Things. This sixth issue from the creative team behind Giant Days shows us the solution to Lottie’s substantial heist and brings some cessation to the series.
REVIEW: Superman/Batman Fan Book Soft Lead is The World’s Sweetest
Batman and Superman have a long and storied history but in a recent fan comic shared on Twitter, artist Chan Chau encompassed a sweet, soft, and caring side of the heroes that we rarely see. The 17 page comic is one of the loveliest things that I’ve read in a while, and both moved and…
Review: Star Trek Discovery’s “Unification III” Connects The Dots & Pays Homage To Spock
Star Trek: Discovery’s latest episode, “Unification III,” is a sequel to a 1991 Next Generation two-parter and a continuation of a more recent Picard storyline. The episode makes some surprising choices that don’t always land, but it swings hard and hits where it counts.
REVIEW: Excalibur #15 – When the Citadel Calls, Captain Britain Must Answer
The tournament started in Excalibur #14, so it’s only fair that by #15 it’s over and Krakoa has won. But that isn’t the end to the threat as the Annihilation helm has decided that it does not wish to play by the rules.
REVIEW: Legendborn Reimagines the Roots of King Arthur’s Return
Revisiting Arthurian lore, Tracy Deonn introduces a young hero who will turn what the longstanding Order believes about the Roundtable’s descendants upside down in Legendborn.
REVIEW: The Horror is Reality in John Constantine: Hellblazer #11
John Constantine: Hellblazer is a nasty series. I mean that in the best way possible; I imagine it’s hard to be nasty in mainstream comics, where things are, above all else, meant to sell. But between unicorn semen and a vulgar metaphor made manifest in this penultimate issue, this series has been unrelentingly brash and…
DC PUBWATCH – November 2020 Edition
Happy Thanksgiving! The big news this month from DC was the official promotion of Marie Javins to Editor-in-Chief. This is the role I have wanted for her for years, and she’s the perfect person to shepherd DC into the next decade. Congratulations, Marie, on a well-deserved promotion. In sadder news, the people affected by the…
REVIEW: The Witcher: Fading Memories #1
The Witcher: Fading Memories #1 opens with a narration over Geralt of Rivia’s actions as he moves through a silent forest of tall, dark trees. The slanted font implies a handwritten letter that reflects a somber tone, one that is understandable for a Witcher for whom work is scarce, calling into question everything he was…
Review: Star Trek Discovery’s “Scavengers” Treads Water
In Star Trek: Discovery’s newest episode, Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) teams up with Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) to save Book (David Ajala) and search for more information about the cause of the Burn. It’s a fun romp but none of the characters feel challenged, and the viewers don’t learn anything new. “Scavengers” provides many fun character…
REVIEW: Cable #6 Rises High, as its Hero Falls Low
X of Swords rages on, and since the last time we checked in with everyone’s favorite time-tossed tactical teen…a whole lot of shit happened. Cable #6 is Chapter 19 of the event when Cable #5 was Chapter 8, so it might be more than a little jarring if you are a reader who, for whatever…
REVIEW: The Encyclopedia Lumberjanica Will Entertain Hardcore Lady Types Everywhere
The Encyclopedia Lumberjanica will delight information-hungry young lady types, but doesn’t contain any new info at all about the comics themselves.
