Happy Pride Month, everyone! I would like to first apologize for my really lame attempt at Pride-ing up the sWo logo for June; I have no graphic design skill. I did, however, have a rainbow’s worth of logos made for me by the incredible Manster over at Pint O Comics, though, so I just… mashed ’em up! I did my best. That said, we here … Continue reading State of the SWO: June 2021
NOT ALL POP-TARTS ARE GOOD, BUT THAT DOES NOT MATTER! ALL POP-TARTS MUST BE TRIED! NO MATTER HOW INTIMIDATING IT IS! THAT’S HOW WE FIND OUT WHAT WILL KILL US, RIGHT? THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! Remember those blue Pop-Tarts? No one expected them to be good. I mean, I just LOOKED at those and thought “Well, I hate myself, so this is probably what I deserve”. … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: A&W Root Beer
Some of the most memorable and fascinating characters in all of fiction were first created for comic books. The last decade-plus of movie ticket sales can more than substantiate that. But even before cinematic effects caught up with the way these larger-than-life heroes deserved to be presented, you are still talking about characters that have moved millions of units and endured for decades across many … Continue reading Why the Best Comic Characters Just “Work”
Welcome back to THE TOP 100 COMICS OF A LIFETIME (assuming you only lived to be, like, 27 or so and died 15 years ago)! In this series, we cover Wizard Magazine’s Top 100 Single Issues list that covered the timeframe of 1979 to 2006. Previously, we went over #100-96 to see what barely made the cut to round out the list. We’re still in … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: Part 2
As before, let’s recap if you’re just joining us. I’m reviewing each Pokemon generation and region one-by one and measuring them against each other in seven categories. I’ve ranked each gen in each category, and am sharing the scores with you to determine how they rate. A score of 6/6 in any category means that the region was the best out of all six generations in … Continue reading Pokemon Generation Review: Sinnoh
I mean… I INTEND on reviewing Hell In A Cell. I guess we will see how that works out since… Come on, Peacock! I am relying on you to give me an improv day so I don’t have to stick to the rigid schedule I laid out for myself and then immediately regretted! Impulsive replacement review articles are my saving grace. (Because it’s easier to … Continue reading WWE Hell In A Cell 2021 Review
I’m going to keep my rambling preamble (PRE-RAMBLE!) short this month because we had a great draft, and I’m excited for you to get to read it. This month’s draft was mutually agreed upon as BEST REMAKE/REBOOT MOVIES! I partnered with three others as usual, and we came up with our draft. Choosing first overall and denoted in the draft chat as RED, we have … Continue reading SWO Draft: Best Cinematic Remake/Reboot!
On the whole, I definitely like more sitcoms than any other genre of television. Sure, high-intensity dramas are great, and Breaking Bad might be the single greatest show ever made, but after a while, the perpetually high-stakes honestly all kind of blends together. And I run hot and cold on shows like these. For every Breaking Bad or Sopranos that I dig, there’s a Game of Thrones … Continue reading Top Ten: Sitcoms of All-Time
Recently, I was thinking about some of the earliest comic books I ever got. Not… not the first ones I ever bought with my own dollars—I actually couldn’t even begin to recall that—but the first ones I ever owned. It turns out, I started buying comics right about the turn of the decade as the leather and big hair of the 1980’s gave way to … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Blood & Thunder
We are journeying to the East this episode as independent comic creator Mikey Wood joins the sWo to discuss the anime classic, Akira!

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
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
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
All right, for those you wanting a recap, here it is: This is a region-by-region blog series where I discuss various topics from each of the six Pokemon generation of games. I compare, on a scale of 1-to-6 (where a ranking of 6 means the games get 6 points as the BEST out of the six generations and a ranking 1 of means the games … Continue reading Pokemon Generation Review: Hoenn
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!
