Jab’s Builds: The Night Shift

THE NIGHT SHIFT:First Appearance: Captain America #330 (June 1987) -The Night Shift are a very peculiar band of villains- minor characters all, they were a Mark Gruenwald concept. Naturally, this meant they were all incredibly obscure, forgotten characters, taken piecemeal from stuff like the cancelled Spider-Woman series and Marvel’s Horror comics of the 1950s. They were initially founded by the Shroud- a gang of serial killers & super-villains … Continue reading Jab’s Builds: The Night Shift

Stew’s Reviews: X-Tremists

There was a lull—a dark age, if you will—in comics for a lot of the very late 1990’s to the mid-2010’s. People don’t talk about it much, but it was a terrible time for the industry. There were some good products here or there, but largely, there was a substantial vacuum. You see, during that timeframe, it was nigh impossible to find Jubilee appearing consistently … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: X-Tremists

Stew’s Reviews: Mystique

Welcome back, friends. I hope you’re all having a good week and are ready for another classic comic review here at Stew’s Reviews! I was doing some research for today’s article when I found out that Brian K Vaughan is about four years older than I am. And given how old some of his more famous works are… that is legitimately depressing. He has accomplished … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Mystique

Baltimore Comic Con 2024 Review

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

Stew’s Reviews: Dr. Strange – Damnation

My house now has a steel cage, and that’s kind of neat. In our eternal quest to make sure our cats can leads their best lives, my wife decided to buy some weird fence kind of material and cage in our front and back porches. Now that kitties can go outside with actually being able to GO anywhere. It’s kind of weird looking, I’ll be … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Dr. Strange – Damnation

Stew’s Reviews: Jubilee

I spent Saturday filling in some holes in my Jubilee collection. I got the first two trades of New Warriors (volume 4) from her time as Wondra. I always knew that existed, but just never sought it out for whatever reason. I wasn’t sure how big of a role she has in it, but she is arguably the main character. I also picked up volumes two and … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Jubilee

Stew’s Reviews: Illuminati

Conspiracy theories would be fun if they weren’t so dangerous sometimes. As of this writing, we are still in the throes of COVID-19. I am saying it like that because I am hoping very much that by the time this goes out, that will all be over. But… it doesn’t seem likely. Anyway, there are already so many objectively silly theories around our little pandemic. … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Illuminati

Stew’s Reviews: Daredevil Yellow

As I write this, I am in the middle of “social distancing”. Even though I’m not that far ahead on articles—only about two or three weeks nowadays, whoof—I’m curious where we as a society will be by the time this is published. Coronavirusmania is currently running wild. All public schools are closed for the next two weeks in my state. The NBA and NHL seasons … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Daredevil Yellow

Stew’s Reviews: Battle of the Atom

Three straight DC articles and then two straight X-Men reviews? Rut City, am I right? No, actually, there is a reason for this. Bear with me. We just recorded a podcast all about X-Titles this past weekend, and I got to go into how I am the biggest X-fan on our show and how I have been enamored of Marvel’s mutants since the beginning of … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Battle of the Atom

Stew’s Reviews: Morbius

I loved the 90’s for comic books. EVERY character had a book. It was amazing. And by god, when it came to Marvel, I bought almost all of them. Darkhawk. Sleepwalker. Speedball. Nightwatch. Thunderstrike. Wasn’t there… didn’t FOOLKILLER have his own book for a sneeze? And Deathlok? I don’t care what anyone says, Darkhawk and Thunderstrike were both pretty awesome.  Then there was the Midnight … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Morbius

Stew’s Reviews: Fall of the Mutants

It took a long time for video games starring famous comic book characters to be any good. Sure, we live in an era where take games like Batman: Arkham City or Spider-Man for the PS4 for granted because game companies have been improving on them forever, but in my youth? It was the dregs. Things would improve in my teens, but before that, I had the rightly-maligned X-Men game … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Fall of the Mutants

Stew’s Reviews: Secret Empire

Let’s be honest. You’ve already seen the book that I am reviewing and the score I’ve given it, so you’re already thinking “Explain yourself, Stew!”. So I won’t meander on too much here; let’s just get to it. TITLE: Secret Empire Writer and Artist: Nick Spencer and, like, 38 artists.  Publisher: Marvel Protagonists: All the Marvel good guys. Antagonists: Captain America “Hail Hydra”. The phrase … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Secret Empire
