I didn’t watch Raw last night, so I don’t have much to say on it this week. Last week’s episode was ROUGH, and while I guess I’m happy for Lashley to “finally” get the big world title he always felt on the cusp of, I never really cared for the guy. He doesn’t do anything for me, and this feels like just a way to … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories Classic: Steamboat, Batista, more
I don’t know if I will have written and posted the article by the time this review is published, but I recently decided I would do a Top Ten list of my favorite comic book artists. What a foolish endeavor. Within thirty to forty minutes of off-the-top-of-my-head thinking, I had a cut-down list of over fifty names. Following that up with some actual research had … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: DC Bombshells
Boy, it still feels weird that Brian Michael Bendis isn’t at Marvel anymore. Like the dude or hate him—and there is plenty of material to support either decision—he WAS Marvel for, like, fifteen years. And now he’s on the other side of the tracks. Wild. I met Bendis at a Con waaaay back when Ultimate Spider-Man was less than a dozen issues in, and he … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Age of Ultron
Heroes in Crisis has ended! Tom King’s latest mini-series has indeed wrapped its nine issue run, and it has joined the ranks of Vision, Mr. Miracle, and Omega Men among the short-term works for which the writer has become known. Ultimately, Heroes in Crisis was the story of how post-traumatic stress disorder affects the very real human beings behind the colorful costumes and bombastic powers of the DC Universe. … Continue reading Characters Vs Creators – Which Means More to You?
It’s draft time yet again, where the SWO partners with some other fantastic independent talent to see who can make the subjectively best list of a random pop culture topic! This week, I pulled in our friends Liz from the Nerdy Bitches podcast, Ken from the Ocho Duro Parley Hour, and Marquee Mark from So Wizard podcast. We spitballed some idea before finally settling on … Continue reading Draft: Best Comedies Post-2000
Hey, it’s Snyder Month! Regardless of how you or I feel about the upcoming Snyder Cut, it’s well on its way, and it will be hitting HBO Max on 3/18/21. And there has been a segment of fans who have been rabidly awaiting this moment in pop culture history. Between those fans and the morbid curiosity of others who want to see what the big … Continue reading Top Ten: DC Comics Films
February sure is a short month. It feels like I just did part one of this. Nevertheless, we are moving full-bore into MARCH, the month that has something to do with lions and lambs; I could never keep it straight. Does it come in like a lion (fierce) and out like a lamb (soft?), or does it come in like a lamb (white and fluffy) … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: February Part 2
You know what’s been badly lacking in this series of late? My reading something that really didn’t sit well with me. I’ve been reviewing a lot of books, and while some have been pedestrian—or, perhaps little better than “okay”—I haven’t come across anything in a while that really stunk up my chimney. And that’s fine! I mean, honestly, I’d rather push through some works that … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: JLA – Gods & Monsters
I am really struggling to get through my list of missed movies from the 2010’s. I shouldn’t be; the wife and I watch at least a little television together most nights. But the rub is that we have only recently started watching Community for the first time, and Amanda LOVES that. All of our free time now is “Hey, can we watch Community?”, “Put Community on”, “We have … Continue reading Movie Review: One Cut of the Dead
One of my absolute favorite things to do is speculate over who would “win” a completely hypothetical battle that could never actually happen. As someone who grew up reading comic books; it just makes sense. Larger than life heroes and villains throw down all the time there. And I’ve even argued that taking part in such silly debates over those brawls can make you a … Continue reading Today In Speculative Fighting
IT RETURNS TO YOUR BREAKFAST PLATE THIS WEEK–WAIT, HOLD ON… YEAH, IT’S BREAKFAST. WHAT? DESSERT? NO, IT’S… I’M TELLING YOU, IT’S NOT A DESSERT. THEY’RE MEANT TO BE EATEN FOR BREAKFAST. I DON’T KNOW WHY! HOLD ON, I’M BUSY, I’LL BE BACK–WHERE WAS I? THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! Aw, guys. Guys! Did you know that it was my mouth’s birthday? It’s apparently my mouth’s birthday! … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Confetti Cupcake
It’s the Elimination Chamber! Or, as my Mac might prefer, the Slimination Chamber. It’s the most wonderful time of the [WWE] year, guys! We had the Rumble, WrestleMania is imminent, and in between, we get one of WWE’s best gimmick pay-per-views (with only Money In The Bank challenging its second-place-to-the-Rumble status), the Elimination Chamber! (And, uh, oh yeah. Next month we get Fastlane. So there’s … Continue reading Elimination Chamber 2021 Thoughts
“Go try to be funny nowadays with this woke culture… There were articles written about why comedies don’t work anymore — I’ll tell you why, because all the fucking funny guys are like, ‘Fuck this shit, because I don’t want to offend you.’” -Todd Phillips, an idiot, to Vanity Fair, 10/1/2019. Several months ago, I convinced my wife Amanda that she might as well sign … Continue reading Movie Review: Deep Murder
Welcome back once again to Stew’s Reviews, your weekly source of completely random comic book reviews. As always, I’m your host, Rob Stewart, bringing you my thoughts on another title you may or may not care about! That’s pretty generic. Huh. Well whatever, I don’t really have a particularly noteworthy intro this week; they aren’t all winners, and I don’t always have big goings-on. Sometimes … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Batgirl of Burnside
It’s probably me. I’m probably the sucker. I really just enjoy continuity in my funnybooks. I want things that happened before to MATTER. Elseworlds and What If’s are fun, but ultimately, I want there to be a big, long line of continuity that carries through the “main” books of a comics universe. If what happened before doesn’t make a difference to what matters now, then… … Continue reading Top Ten: Best Comics’ Alternate Universes
