At the end of vol. 31, humanity was facing off against not one, but two Threat Level: Unknowns. By the end of the first chapter, however, they’re only facing off against one. Who could have taken out such a threat in the space of 46 pages? None other than the title character himself who actually […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: Innocent: Rouge Omnibus vol. 2 I was legitimately glad to see the first “Innocent: Rouge” omnibus in these solicitations after the end of the original series. After reading it, I was successively thrilled, perplexed, and engaged at the further adventures of the Sanson family with Marie now centered as the protagonist, and Charles-Henri […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: Transformers vol. 5: Generation One Vol. 4 saw original writer Daniel Warren Johnson wrap up the story he’d been telling since the start to somewhat disappointing effect (as far as I was concerned). A lot of stuff happened, but it didn’t really support the epic scope the writer was trying to achieve or […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: Wonder Woman by Tom King vol. 4: The Island of Mice and Men Diana may have defeated The Sovereign, the secret King of America, in vol. 3, but that just means she can get back to dealing with Amazon business. Like finding out what happened to the missing Amazon who went on a […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman vol. 4: One Last Day As if I could put anything else here after giving the top spot to this title in my Best of 2025 podcast. It’s not just that I’m looking forward to seeing how Hickman wraps up his Spider-saga, or the fact that I’m expecting […]
Professor Nathaniel Peaslee had it all. A respected teaching position at Miskatonic University, a happy marriage with children, until a fateful Thursday in 1908 when he had a seizure and became… someone else. It wasn’t until 1913 when he became himself again and started to reckon with the time that he had lost, as well […]
Shauna Wickle is on vacation! She’s borrowed her Uncle Jim’s houseboat and is sailing downriver in search of some good memories. However, after she’s distracted by charming bad-boy Bryn, Shauna winds up damaging the boat and now needs to get a job to pay for repairs. Fortunately for her, Bryn’s mom owns a fabric store […]
Before I get into the review of “Redcoat” vol. 2 proper, let me tell you a bit about “Revenger.” This was an anime series that Steve and I watched a few years back that has generally been forgotten by anime fandom. It was about a group of bishounen in a port town in feudal Japan […]
Tariq Geiger, Nate the Nuclear Knight, Barney the two-headed dog, and Zigzag the three-eyed zebra have been on a mission for a while now. They’ve been looking for Lewiston: the home of Ash Arden, a glowing person like Geiger who was reportedly cured of their nuclear powers. They finally arrive there, after picking up an […]
Aqua Hoshino has a plan to get revenge upon his dad who caused the death of his mother, Ai. It’s a movie about her life called “The 15 Year Lie” and it has a script, as well as a good director attached to it. What it doesn’t have is a distributor, and even if they […]
