REVIEW: Guardians of the Galaxy #7 Brings Murder and Politics to the Negotiating Table
After the events of Empyre, the landscape of Marvel’s cosmic universe has gotten a big shake-up. The Kree-Skrull war is over, replaced with an impossible alliance, and the powers that be are forced to reassess old treaties and agreements. While an issue built entirely around galactic geo(astro?)politics and debates may not sound like the most…
REVIEW: Revolutionary Girl Utena: After the Revolution: … Is Less Than Revolutionary
Revolutionary Girl Utena is a shojo classic that I only recently read. Because of my recent exposure, news of an addition to the series, After the Revolution, released in 2020 in English excited me. Overall, I see threads in the series that a younger me would have loved. Unfortunately, neither the original Utena series nor…
DC PUBWATCH – October 2020 Edition
This is an interesting month for DC news and solicits because most of DC’s January books are going to be part of Future State. This is a two-month line-wide detour into possible futures of the DC universe. The important things to note are the breaks from the standard 20-page monthly book. Many of the books…
REVIEW: Giga #1 is a Gorgeous, Simmering Pot of Tension
Giga #1 steams with the tension of a world marred by violence and war. The wars have been fought for so long, people can’t remember exactly how they started and can’t imagine what it’d be like to have them stop. I wasn’t sure a mech-style Gundam-esque comic was going to my thing but it is…

Review: Star Trek Discovery’s “Far From Home,” AKA Gays in Space
Last week’s episode caught viewers up on Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and introduced new character Booker (David Ajala), so naturally this week caught us up on the rest of the crew and the ship Discovery itself.

REVIEW: X-Men #13: Stronger Than Yesterday
Nothing stays dead on Krakoa. Not mutants, certainly. And not the past, either, as Apocalypse has so painfully learned. You can bury it in the heart of a pyramid or lock it away in a golden box, but the past always comes back, no matter what you do. So, open the box. Put on the…
Vault Comics Pubwatch: October
Perhaps the most shocking (and amusing) thing to occur this month at Vault was Henry Henry’s takeover of the publisher’s Twitter account, ahead of the November release of Dark Interlude #1, the not quite sequel to Fearscape. “HH” had lots to say about Vault’s lineup of comics and creators.
REVIEW: Excalibur #13 – A Drawing of the Blades
As we fast approach X of Swords: Stasis, the champions of Krakoa still have four swords to retrieve. Two of these swords are meant for the Braddock twins, and we see their quest to claim them in Excalibur #13.
