Stew’s Reviews: John Wick

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

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: Monstress

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

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

Stew’s Reviews: Bitch Planet

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

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: Bleach

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

Stew’s Reviews: Black Hammer

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

Stew’s Reviews: JLA by Grant Morrison

Something something Snyder Cut. Yeah, so the long-awaited Zack Snyder cut of Justice League is due to be released somewhat soon/eventually on HBO’s new streaming service. A lot of folks have been petitioning for this for quite some time, and I guess they are finally going to get it. I’m not one of them. I’m not opposed to the release, and if it makes people … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: JLA by Grant Morrison

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: Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E.

What is it with men and basements? There’s always the cliche about loser online trolls living in their parents’ basements, sure, but even adult men seem to have a fascination with basements. Whether they get turned into a “man cave” (and I really hate that term) or a work bench area or a gym or what, it just seems like men are inherently drawn to … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E.

Stew’s Reviews: Maus

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

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
