As I sit here in the basement of my house where I do most of my writing, movie watching, gaming, and… everything I guess… (Don’t judge; it’s cooler down here, and my wife and I have very differing ideas on how warm a house needs to be) …I realize I am surrounded by comics and comic memorabilia. Art prints on the wall behind me. Framed … Continue reading Stan Lee (DisneyPlus) Review
Oh man, here we go with Volume 6 of Komi Can’t Communicate, the single most interesting volume to me because it was the one that was seemingly out of print or something FOREVER. It is the reason my initial read through of this series got held up. It took me months to find this one anywhere, even online. When I walked into Barnes & Noble … Continue reading Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 6
I just signed up for the DC Universe Streaming Service! I put this off for a while, but eventually my desire to see if the Young Justice cartoon is as good as I had always heard won out. And when I went to the site to see what all was offered and spied all the comics free to stream? Well, that was the decisive blow. … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Hunter/Prey
CASEY JONES:-A curious addition to the TMNT mythos, Casey Jones has become the second most important human ally after April O’Neil, and is so prominent that he’s as important as any individual Turtle in the 1990s Film series, and shows up as a major character in the 2003 & 2012 cartoons. In most continuities, he is a violent, hard-headed, stubborn vigilante who’s a bit crazy and ends … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: TMNT (Casey Jones)
I’m feeling more negative lately, and I don’t really enjoy that. Like I’m once again finding myself at the point where I am arguing consistently on the “this stinks!” side of things. Read Pile for the podcast? I’m crapping on the books lately. Moves in the theater to review? Crapping. New trailers for future hits? Crap crap crap. I want to spin around in a … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Dragon Ball Super
I kind of occasionally regret that I’m, so bad at watching television shows. But they are such a huge commitment, and I’m already smack dab in the middle of watching the entirety of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I’d almost always really rather watch movies. But I remember really enjoying the first season-and-a-half of CW’s Stargirl show. Brec Basinger really nailed the role of Courtney Whitmore, … Continue reading Stargirl: The Lost Children review
It’s part two of the members of SWO Productions talking about our favorite all-time artists for some of the most classic characters in comic book history. Previously we talked The Man Of Steel from DC Comics. Today, we are moving on to another of the absolute S-tier characters in history: It’s Spider-Man! Switching over to Marvel, but staying with the red-and-blues! Stew’s Picks -Erik Larsen … Continue reading Our Favorite Spider-Man Artists
Welcome to a new feature here at SWO Productions! Some of our contributors will be getting together with me to review each of our favorite artists for some of the most popular comic book characters of all time. These characters have existed in the culture for decades, and the number of amazingly talented artists that have leant their abilities to them is absurd. But who … Continue reading Our Favorite Superman Artists
I don’t want to come across as one of Those People, but man… I miss comic books from my youth. When I had started reading comics, it was the very end of the 80’s. You could essentially say my first full year as a reader was 1990 to make it easy. So by the time I was into the hobby, the classic Marvel roster had … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Stan Lee Presents The Amazing Spider-Man
I feel like I read the original DCeased story arc a few years ago for my previous podcast venture, but I’m not actually 100% sure. The past was so long ago, you know. I do definitely recall having read it; what I don’t remember is whether I talked about it or not. DCeased was basically DC’s attempt at a Marvel Zombies style story where the … Continue reading DCeased: War Of The Undead Gods Review
It’s been a while since I have done a non-Big 2 book that wasn’t a manga, so I guess I better do that, or else I’ll fall back into my unfairly established reputation of hating indie books. I guess Fables doesn’t TECHNICALLY count because it is a DC property (but it should; it’s essentially an independent book that just happened to be published by one … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Fix
I covered the Death of Superman a few months back, and I had previously forgotten that, while it may not be an objectively well-made book, I really did enjoy it. It’s a delightful bang-up of a comic. But what’s more, I really dig some of the stuff it wrought in its wake. So we’re moving on to what will be part two in a… hmmm… … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Return of Superman
By the time you read this, I will hopefully have had the DC Universe streaming service for a few months. I haven’t purchased it yet, but I probably will by the time the weekend passes. What brought on the desire to get the service is that I have wanted to watch Young Justice for quite a while, but I had never found a service that … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: For The Man Who Has Everything
I really just… can’t with modern day Marvel or DC. And that’s really frustrating. In an era where independent comics are proving they are capable of anything and everything–of telling any kind of story under the sun, from realistic coming-of-age dramas to sprawling sci-fi space operas–you know what I still want? Capes. I’ve grown up on Marvel and DC, and for me, comic books also … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Radiant Black volume 1
We are back with more Komi, who is incapable of communication! I will say now that I’ve finished volume 3 and am getting ready to write this, I am remembering why I started digging this series. Sure, volume 1 was lackluster and consisted almost entirely of build, but volumes 2 and 3 have a lot more antics going on. The situational humor and the depth … Continue reading Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 3
