IN A WORLD WHERE DIABETES PROBABLY MAYBE HOPEFULLY DOESN’T EXIST, ONE MAN STARTS A JOURNEY FROM WHICH HIS BLOOD SUGAR WILL NEVER RECOVER. HIS MISSION: TRY THE POP-TARTS… TRY THEM ALL! THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST. I’ll be honest… this is the Pop Tart that started Pop Tart Quest as even a zygote of an idea. I still remember walking through the vast aisles of Wal-Mart, … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Chocolate Chip
This started off as a slightly different list. Originally, this was going to be my Top Five fight scenes of all-time in comic book history. It’s another one of those Top Ten list ideas for our podcast that we have not gotten around to yet, and one that I thought had some legs and was eager to get a sneak-peek jump on by writing about … Continue reading Top Five: Spider-Man Fights
Now, I have never been one to doubt El Dandy, but I’ve also seldom ever doubted “The Excellence of Execution” himself, Bret Hart. Bret was always a Wrestler’s Wrestler. He was dedicated to the craft, and he took wrestling as seriously as anyone else who has ever stepped foot in a ring. Wrestling wasn’t just Bret’s career; it was his whole damn life. He was … Continue reading Bret Hart categories Classic
Well, it’s official. As of this past weekend, I no longer have any Marvel or DC books on my Pull List at my local comic shop. (Which is not to say I have any indie books because I don’t. I have… my pull list is zero. It is no list.) I finally put my money where my mouth is and dropped the remaining titles from … Continue reading Marvel and DC… No More!
When I saw the second Hellboy movie in theaters, it was cut together wrong somehow, so that all the scenes from the first 40 minutes of the movie were out of order. I remember watching it and thinking “Wait, that guy died; when did he come back?” or “They already worked with him, why are they just being introduced to him?” It was a bit … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Hellboy In Hell
Oh, the sad, strange tale of Fox’s New Mutants movie. The last of the studio’s X-Men related movies was delayed about two and a half years in total between the Disney buyout, planned reshoots, scheduling conflicts with other X-flicks, and COVID-19. It seemed destined for film purgatory–a film that was only ever going to be available in low quality online pirate copies, and which would … Continue reading Movie Review: New Mutants
What am I even doing right now? I forgot already. Let’s look up at the title of this article again… oh, right! Gimmick matches! Got it. Let’s start the show! 5. Falls Count Anywhere Starting off really basic before we get to the more convoluted match types that I love, FCA is a bout that I usually get a kick out of. Much moreso than … Continue reading Top Five: Wrestling Gimmick Matches
Welcome back to my incredibly self-indulgent “History of the SWO” article series. The point of this series has been that I always want any fans of our site to feel like friends of mine. SWO Productions may be about pop culture news and opinions, but it’s also about us. I value your input in the comments, and I want you to feel like you know … Continue reading History of the SWO: To The Stratosphere… And Beyond!
Superman and Batman. The World’s Finest Team. The two oldest and, likely, most well-known superheroes of all time. They are the pillars of comic book heroism. Without them, there may not be a Spider-Man or an Avengers or any comic book movie boom to speak of. A lot is owed to each of them. One is an unimaginably powerful being removed from humanity who has … Continue reading The “S” Stands For Superior: Why Superman Is A Better Character Than Batman
Stew’s Reviews Volume 2, Issue #2 – Fear Agent Real talk: After a successful first week here at the S.R., I wanted to review another book starring Jubilee—and I could; I certainly have others!—but I reluctantly fought off the urge. You have to space things out when you are discussing one of the greatest X-Men thats ever lived; otherwise there is just nowhere to go … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Fear Agent
For the fourth time already (wow!), it’s NXT’s new annual tradition: War Games! I’ll be honest… I had completely forgotten that KUSHIDA was not a part of this card until the pre-show failed to mention him. He’s been getting something of a huge push recently, so I was surprised he wasn’t included in some format. I figure he was initially planned to get a run … Continue reading NXT War Games 2020 Review
VOLUME 2, ISSUE #1 Welcome, everyone, to the BRAND NEW Stew’s Reviews! What’s new about it, you ask? Why, there is a slight format shift; gone are the “Thumbs Up” and “Thumbs Down” sections, and in their place is a more detailed breakdown of each book’s stars and creative team. Also each issue will have a TALKING POINT where you and I can discuss something adjacently … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Jubilee & Wolverine
I am still going here somehow! When last I discussed the history of SWO Productions, we looked back at Something Unique, which was an entirely NOT unique idea of a shared superhero universe between several other posters at a comic book forum. The idea had sprung up when we grew slightly tired of debating hypothetical comic brawls–I mean, as tired as you can ever get … Continue reading The History of the SWO: The 411 on Brothers
As I write this, it’s the god damn hottest May I can remember. And somewhere around 300% humidity. I get that you may live someplace where weather akin to this is more frequent, but as far as I am concerned, this is hell; this is what hell feels like. Weather like this makes me regret having skin; I wish I could just unzip that layer … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Teen Titans by Geoff Johns
So back in 2002, Marvel decided to have a month where all their titles’ stories had no dialogue. The gauntlet was thrown down to their writers and artists to tell compelling stories with as few words as possible. I say “as few as possible” because some of the titles screwed around with this concept as much as they could (writers would have characters write or … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: ‘Nuff Said
