Stew’s [Quick] Reviews: Grandma Chainsaw

Several weeks ago, I had the pleasure of getting to review a gem of an independent comic book called POCUS HOCUS. Well today we are looking at another title by the same creative team (Dunford, Radford, Balondo, etc): GRANDMA CHAINSAW! As you can tell by reading the previously linked article, I dug Pocus Hocus and the world it was building. There is a great deal … Continue reading Stew’s [Quick] Reviews: Grandma Chainsaw

The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #15-11

And we are back! Let’s read some allegedly great comics! From Wizard’s 2006 list of the Top 100 Single Issues of all time! #15. Uncanny X-Men #159 My buddies over at The Multiverse Of Badness podcast covered this issue once for their show! Take a listen. I definitely seem to have dug this issue more than they did. Sorry guys! It’s the X-Men’s first (but … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #15-11

Stew’s Reviews: Dark Crisis – Young Justice

I’ve always said my favorite era across all comics is the Post-Crisis era of DC. That’s… not really a good name for it anymore. DC used to have two eras: Pre-Crisis (the stuff that happened prior to Crisis On Infinite Earths) and Post-Crisis (guess what that meant). Then there was Flashpoint and the New 52. Then there was Rebirth. And Doomsday Clock may have been … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Dark Crisis – Young Justice

Stew’s Movie Log: November 2022

At the start of the yar, I had a dream that I would hit 300 individual movies watched by the end of December. Turns out, I’d only need a little over ten and half months. Three-Hundred has been achieved! Let’s see how the month went: FIRST TIME WATCHES: Creature From The Black Lagoon, Who Invited Them, Good Luck To You Leo Grande, Weird, Glorious, The … Continue reading Stew’s Movie Log: November 2022

Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special Review

NOTE: This article contains spoilers! Well, there is absolutely no way I could have seen this as my finish line 11 months ago. If you have been following my 2022 Month-By-Month Movie Log at all, you likely know my New Year’s Resolution was to watch 300 films by year’s end. I’ve been cataloging my journey there, and I have to admit, I was long curious … Continue reading Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special Review

Glass Onion Review

NOTE: This article will contain minor story aspect spoilers, but nothing revealing the ending or anything like that! I initially had heard that Glass Onion–Rian Johnson’s not-quite-a-sequel to the 2019 hit Knives Out–was going to be Netflix only, and I have to admit: that left me feeling disappointed. I was a fan of the last offering, and I was hoping to be able to catch … Continue reading Glass Onion Review

The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #20-16

And we are back! Let’s read some allegedly great comics! #20. Planetary #13 I’ve read Planetary but one time, a few years ago, and all at once beginning to end. It works better that way, I think. As I made my way back through issue 13 here, I found myself wanting to revisit the story the series told in its completion. That said, Warren Ellis … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #20-16

Stew’s Reviews: Green Lantern – Kyle Rayner

My wife and I had an extremely romantic date night at Dave & Buster’s tonight. Weird dinner experience where our waiter actively tried to dissuade us from BOTH meals we ordered. I asked for some Kobe meatball dinner they had, and he went into a story about how his Italian grandmother makes meatballs, and the restaurant’s aren’t as good as hers, and am I SURE … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Green Lantern – Kyle Rayner

Stew’s Reviews: Booster Gold

I just bought hockey tickets! I haven’t been to a game a long time; several years at this point, actually. I went through a stretch in the mid-2000’s where I made it to at least one Pittsburgh Penguins game per year, but it’s been a solid decade since I have gone. Every time I have been to the PPG Arena since it has opened, it’s … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Booster Gold

Pop-Tart Quest: Tropical Mango

I’m not sure I’d ever heard of a mango before, like, 15 years ago. Look, when I was growing up, there were eight fruits. Apples, oranges, grapes, lemons, other color apples, other color grapes, watermelons, and strawberries. We didn’t have all these fanciful tropical fruits that you Zoomers grew up with! That was it! We didn’t even know about blueberries; we didn’t know food could … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Tropical Mango

The Chosen: Chapter 4

As the six James Buchanan High School seniors stood just inside the double doors that separated the cafeteria from the school’s entrance hall, Nat found that all she could think about was her younger sister. Suzanne Lyons had gotten up that morning almost an hour before Nat. She used that time to mull over several outfits. Nat remembered thinking she never in her life needed … Continue reading The Chosen: Chapter 4
