Sorry, obviously I did not read all, what, 300-some issues of this series (Oh, 300 exactly, okay. That’s a nice round number). I merely dipped my toes into the beginning of the series by reading the first ten issues and then pulling through some random issues of the later runs to see how it progressed between gaps. Cerebus is another book that has always been … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Cerebus
I’ve been itching to cover this particular idea for a while now. I love fights and I love the funny, but comics are best to me when they make you FEEL. I remember reading the last issue of the six-part Spectacular Spider-Man series “The Child Within” as a boy and being struck because it was different than what I thought comics could do. I was … Continue reading The Top Five: Tear-Jerker Moments In Comics
First of all, I’ve really got to start Wikipedia-ing some of these entries before I choose them, apparently. I started reading Alan Moore’s 1963 series not knowing that… it doesn’t end. It’s a six-issue mini-series, and while yes, I have all 6 issues, the mini-series builds to a resolution that would be told in a giant-size crossover special called Double Image. Now here’s where this … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: 1963
This week we’re turning heel and delving into best assortments of villains in all of comics! A dictionary that I didn’t actually bother looking at presumably defines a villain as “the kind of person you chill like” and a gallery as “a place with… art, right? I don’t know“. But in the world of comic books, a line-up of villains–or rogues gallery–is the collection ne’er-do-wells … Continue reading Top Five: Rogues Galleries In Comics
My cat is really not having this article. I am usually able to write these in relative peace. I settle in on the bed in the spare guestroom, get something to snack on and some lemonade, and I got to town. Maybe one of the three cats will jump up on the bed next to me and chill out, but Nuke is being super aggro … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Marvel Zombies
PINOCCHIO (1940): Written by: Carlo Collodi (original serial), Aurelius Battaglia, William Cottrell, Otto Englander, Erdman Penner, Joseph Sabo, Ted Sears & Webb Smith Pinocchio was the second Disney film produced, and now one of the most iconic, though like most of the post-Snow White canon, it initially failed at the box office due to World War II, and only made its money back through the “every seven years” … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Pinocchio
Trick or Treat! We’ve already covered our Top Ten Halloween Franchise Flicks and our Top Ten Horror Movie Monsters. What else could we do as we approach Halloween? I’ll be honest… candy is a borderline passion of mine. I still eat candy like a nine-year who lives in a world where it’s Halloween every day. It’s a habit I’m TRYING to break as I approach … Continue reading Top Ten: Candy
Another week, another comic, fellow comic fans. But most importantly, my comic book store had their 30th anniversary sale the weekend of my writing this; Thirty percent off everything! I didn’t manage to get much that will be beneficial to reviews here in the near future (most of what I blew my cash on were non-book items like Kotobukiya statues or books that have come … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Solar, Man Of The Atom
SAILOR MOON R: The Makai (Demon… sorta) Tree, looking like a flying womb-tree-thing. Which isn’t far from what it actually is. Sailor Moon R is the name given to the second “Series” of Sailor Moon in Japan- the different arcs actually have different titles, rather than “Season 1/2/4/whatever” like you’d see over here. With the previous threat (and really, the Sailors’ ENTIRE REASON FOR EXISTING) … Continue reading Jab Reviews: Sailor Moon R (47-52)
When it comes to ranking the 10 scariest movie monsters the challenge is separating themonsters from the humans. Because, while tons of humans behave monstrously or becomesupernatural monsters by magic or sheer will, they are/were nonetheless human.I believe it’s cheating to put some seriously scary human characters like Michael Meyers(Halloween) or Jason Voorhees in this category because while they are excellent movie villains,they don’t quite … Continue reading Book Of Lies’ Top Ten Horror Movie Monsters!
I have had a long love/hate relationship with horror movies. I have written on my previous site in some depth about my history with horror flicks, and I will be revisiting those articles from the archive soon enough (as in: HERE’S the first one). The abbreviated backstory is this: I was RAISED on awful 80’s slashers. When I was [single-digits] years old, my mom, dad, … Continue reading Top Ten: Horror Movie Monsters/Villains
I have one very prominent thought that is impacting much of my watching tonight: I swear to god I thought the Seahawks’ game was supposed to be at 4pm EST! But nope, they moved the game to Sunday Night Football, opposite what will be at least the second half of Hell In A Cell. Can I further erode my entertainment-adled mind by watching this show, … Continue reading Hell In A Cell 2020 Thoughts And Review
Pictured: Literally the greatest end to a Series ever. It’s pretty hard to top “The hero’s friends love her SO MUCH that even DEATH can’t stop them from coming to assist her in killing a giant green deathbitch.” Aaaaaaaaaaaaand we’re back for the finale!! Since I’ve included a LOT of episodes-per-post, I created some fairly long articles that I’m sure some people TL; DR’d. Well … Continue reading Jab Reviews: Sailor Moon 44-46 – Season Finale!
It’s another edition of Stew’s Reviews, and this week we’re answering the age old question, what is better than one Green Lantern? It’s not two Green Lanterns. It’s not even three Green Lanterns. Obviously, the correct answer is four Green Lanterns! And no matter whether you’re a Hal fan or a Kyle man or a Guy guy or a John nut, this week’s story up … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: War of the Green Lanterns
I am always very excited to do a Friday the 13th article. And then, it turns out… I don’t really have that much to say about Friday the 13th. I am not a freemason in the dark ages, it seems (Right? That’s where Friday the 13th as a relevant thing comes from, right? Something to do with freemasons and a murder conspiracy or something? Or … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth
