NXT Takeover In Your House Review

I’m not sure why NXT is essentially the hand-me-down brand. Everything that used to be a wrestling thing that is no longer a wrestling thing somehow gets given to NXT to become their wrestling thing. In Your House, Halloween Havoc, Great American Bash… these used to be real WWF/WCW pay-per-views of the 1990’s. But they’ve all be discontinued and someone decided that NXT gets to … Continue reading NXT Takeover In Your House Review

Entertainment Rex: June 2021

I went to the movies for the first time since February 2020 today! God, I have really missed that. Obviously in the COVID era, I have developed quite the affinity for watching movies at home, but I have always adored the cinema. Watching movies at home is fine, if a bit distracting. Watching them in the movie theater always feels more like an experience. The … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: June 2021

Fifteen Years Later: The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, part 1

I have a feeling–I can’t substantiate it, but I somehow guess–that I still think I’m, like, twenty-six years old or so. Like, if you walked up to me and said “DON’T THINK, JUST ANSWER! HOW OLD ARE YOU?”, I would instinctively say a number in the 20’s. I’m not sure why that is. I am assuredly not in my twenty’s. I turned forty several months … Continue reading Fifteen Years Later: The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, part 1

Jab’s Image Deep Dive: WildCATS part 1!

WILDC.A.T.S:Among the more notable and famous, and hot-selling, of the early Image Comics line was Jim Lee’s WildC.A.T.s (“Covert Action Teams”. Yeah). The book was pretty much entirely his brainchild, and co-written by Brandon Choi, and was very much a shining example of their style- an action-packed, cross-hatched, character-driven, plot-lite story full of Hot Babes, Guys With Claws, and rip-offs of his X-Men work! WildC.A.T.s #1 came out in Aug. 1992, … Continue reading Jab’s Image Deep Dive: WildCATS part 1!

Pop-Tart Quest: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

HOLY CRAP WE ARE INTO DOUBLE DIGITS WITH THESE THINGS? WOW, I HOPE PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT! THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! Yep, up to double digits of Pop-Tarts! And they said I’d have died of diabetes weeks ago. So last week, my wife and my sister-in-law (which is weird to say. I’ve never even had a real sibling … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Top Five: Spider-Man Costumes

Alternate costumes in comic books are really hit-or-miss. When you are dealing with classic, long-standing characters, the creative urge to change things up is understandable. I mean, have you been wearing the same outfit for the last 80 years? Do you even have the same style or taste in clothes that you did ten years ago? I mean, I do. Pro wrestling T-shirts never go … Continue reading Top Five: Spider-Man Costumes

Stew’s Reviews: The Tick

I really just can’t get into the Amazon Tick show. It’s not that it’s bad or anything—it’s a passable enough show—but it’s easily the third best of the three televised versions of The Tick so far. If I had a rating system, it would be: 1. Cartoon Tick/Patrick Warburton Tick (tie)Big gap3. Amazon Tick I watched the first five episodes of the new Tick and … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Tick

State of the SWO: May 2021

COVID-19 is OVER! I mean… it’s not. It’s still a very serious global situation. Get your vaccine and continue to wear a mask! Follow CDC guidelines and let’s keep trending in the right direction as a society! That said… I’m vaccinated, and I refuse to spend another summer locked in my house. This upcoming weekend, the wife and I are traveling to North Carolina to … Continue reading State of the SWO: May 2021

Pop-Tart Quest: Red Velvet & Cinnamon Roll

YOU’VE SEEN A MAN EAT TWO POP-TARTS AT ONCE. AND WHILE YOU THOUGHT IT COULD NOT BE DONE, NOW YOU CAN BEHOLD ONE HUMAN, MORTAL MAN TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE OF FOUR POP-TARTS! THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! Ohhhhh god. I’ve never eaten four Pop-Tarts at once before. This was a mistake. I regret this. For years, I have wondered, “How will I die? What will … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Red Velvet & Cinnamon Roll

Pokemon: A Bug’s Life

This will come as no surprise to literally anyone who knows anything about me, but I play a LOT of Pokemon. I have essentially been playing Pokemon non-stop since 1998 or 1999. In one form or another, in one generation or another, I’ve been playing a lot of Pokemon for the last twenty-plus years. I remember playing Red on my laptop in college after accidentally … Continue reading Pokemon: A Bug’s Life
