In the year that seems like it will never end, we somehow have made it to November. (And through a contentious election week in the United States, which itself felt like a year!) This month, we take a look at a few finales (Adler and Horizon Zero Dawn), as well as the debut of Cutting…
REVIEW: The Low, Low Woods is a Haunting Tale of Strange Memories
Sitting in a cinema together, teenage friends El and Vee realise that neither of them has any memory of the film that has just ended.

REVIEW: What Lies Beneath at Devil’s Reef in Miskatonic #1?

REVIEW: Star Trek Discovery’s “Forget Me Not” Angers Me Greatly

REVIEW: Marvel Zombies #3 Takes a Bite Out of Fear…And Franklin Richards
Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #3 combines fascinating story with just-okay art and uneven character development.
REVIEW: It’s the Beginning of the End in John Constantine: Hellblazer #10
I’ve been reviewing John Constantine: Hellblazer for almost an entire year, and at this point, it feels like I should be running out of things to say about it. I’ve covered how it’s my favorite modern Hellblazer series. I’ve mentioned that its lack of subtlety is one of the many things I love about it,…
REVIEW: Marauders #14: But First, We Dance!
Saturnyne’s game is afoot, but, while the rest of the Swords are finding their own ways to enjoy the eve of battle in Marauders #14, Logan’s being a killjoy.
REVIEW: X-Men #14 is a Rerun Instead of a Remix
For once, I have very little to say about a new issue of X-Men. That’s because X-Men #14 isn’t really a new issue of X-Men. Not entirely.
REVIEW: Crossover #1’s Worst Crime Is Being Boring
Donny Cates is one of the biggest writers in comics right now. His Marvel books, including Venom and Thor, routinely rank among the best-selling titles on the market.
