I recently had the good fortune to be invited to New York Comic Con as press, so I packed up and headed to New York (actually New Jersey because riding the ferry rules) for a long weekend away. I met up with the incomparable Joey DiCarlo and Aubrey Litchfield from So Wizard Podcast, we set about interviewing as many amazing talents as we could for … Continue reading New York Comic Con Coverage, Part 1
I only recently got around to seeing John Wicks 2 or 3. I’m actually doing really well on that list of missed films from the 2010’s (COVID-19 has “helped”), and the Wick sequels were top priority there. I have been averaging four to five movies a week ever since I have been working from home and staying up later. It’s gotten to the point where on the … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: John Wick
What I have discovered about myself is that I have a very love/hate relationship with independent comic books. The ones that I enjoyed in the last few years, I have tended to love. Even when I have only read the first trade or two so far, I have found titles like Saga and Sex Criminals that I am eager to read more of whenever I … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Monstress
This past weekend, I made the four hour trip down to Baltimore for the 25th edition of the Baltimore Comic Con. It was my first time ever visiting Baltimore for their annual convention; I had previously only ever been to the city for AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view event in 2019. My visits to The Old Line State are typically at the other end of it … Continue reading Baltimore Comic Con 2024 Review
I’m probably napping too much these days. It’s not for lack of having things to do. I have fallen very far off of my pace on these articles. I used to have a cache of 15-20 ready at given time, but that’s down to a little more than five. I keep thinking “I have a few things to read; I’ll blow through them and write … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Bitch Planet
You ever hear of those people who start with, like, a toothpick and trade their way up to something ridiculous like a Lamborghini? I’m like the opposite of that. A looooong time ago, I was really into collecting and playing Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. It was an awful habit; 2/10, I don’t recommend. Anyway, I was staying with my family for a while, and I wanted something … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Bleach
Marvel’s dissection of the still-living body of Dark Horse Comics continues. Years after having acquired the comic publishing rights to Star Wars—a previous boon for the independent company—Marvel has recently purchased the licenses for the Alien and Predator lines. Why does Marvel need or want those? It’s not like Dark Horse is such a threat to them that they have to chip away at this … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Black Hammer
Recently on the podcast, we covered Watchmen. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite episodes we have ever done. It’s really high quality stuff, and I think we all put in good work discussing an important, brilliant book. But as the show was wrapping up, I brought up something I remembered from my youth. By the time I was an early teen, I started hearing about The … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Maus
I’ve never been a big Licensed Property kind of guy. When I read comic books, I want to read comic book characters. I don’t pick up a comic book because I want to read Stranger Things story. If I want Stranger Things, I’ll watch the show. When I want a comic book, I want Spider-Man. Or Jubilee. Mostly Jubilee. Not to say I am direly … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Street Fighter X GI Joe
All right. After a ludicrously cursed attempt last year, I am back to trying to move. I never would have imagined that selling one house and buying another would be such a chore as it was in 2019! We got strung along for four months before our buyer ended up finally telling us that, nope, he couldn’t actually get a loan. Lesson for you out … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Astro City – Local Heroes
GOD, I loved the first Sin City movie. I left the theater after seeing that flick completely amped. After it came out on DVD, I must have watched it a dozen more times. I waited with baited breath for a sequel to let me return to the visually striking world of meatheads and dames. And I waited. And I waited. About a decade later—WELL after … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Sin City – Hell & Back
This week’s article is a special Requests & Dedications edition, as the book was recommended by 411mania user SonoftheMountain! I have had a few of these over time. Power Girl was a request. Cerebus was nominated to me. Moon Knight was done on a suggestion. If someone throws an idea at me, and it’s a book I can easily get my mitts on, I’m usually … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Crow
The weekend is over, and thus my second ever visit to New York Comic Con is in the books! My visit to one of the great comic conventions was planned in a rush less than a month before the show, so I was only able to attend one day this year, Saturday the 14th, but it was a very full day of exploring the Javitts … Continue reading New York Comic Con 2023 Review
