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

AP Productions: The Commission #3

Ghost in the Machine Rex Robinson placed his hands on his hips, his famous smile never fading, “What are you waiting for, friends? There’s some strange things afoot. I’ll explain on the way.” “Sure you will,” Ryan Bennings quickly pulled his energy pistol and fired a shot, blasting a hole through Rex’s forehead. When Rex hit the ground, there was an audible CLANG while sparks … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #3

SummerSlam 2024 Review

It’s time for SummerSlam 2024, just a few hours away from my backyard. But here’s the thing: we don’t go to Cleveland because it’s Cleveland. Boom! Weird Pittsburgh loyalty in the dissing of Cleveland. I’m just kidding, Cleveland. You have a great amusement park. There are at least two different signs in the SummerSlam pre-show crowd that say “Drew McIntyre Eats Corn The Long Way”, … Continue reading SummerSlam 2024 Review

A New Challenger Emerges: A BTVS Retrospective, S5 E21-22

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! EPISODE 21 After Glory’s rousing and emphatic victory to end episode 20, we kick off episode 21 with her minions packing up her stuff. She notes that she doesn’t want to kill them for messing up, but she isn’t sure why not. We off-handedly find out she has been on Earth for 25 years, so… has she been bound … Continue reading A New Challenger Emerges: A BTVS Retrospective, S5 E21-22

AP Productions: The Commission #2

A Rough Start Hyperion’s Light remained grounded with a few minor lights inside. Labrat had been sent home and Ryan Bennings ushered the few remaining robots inside a storage unit before closing the door. The ship was still running according to Rex Robinson’s settings and Ryan felt it was best to finally enact a complete reboot, a task he had been putting off for days. … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #2

Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Triplicate Girl & Bouncing Boy

I like those thigh-highs with the holes. That’s all I got. TRIPLICATE GIRL (Luornu Durgo, aka Duo Damsel, Triad & Una)Silver Age Triplicate Girl:-Triplicate Girl was one of the very first inductees of the Legion of Super-Heroes, which makes sense because she’s rather silly and not that well-thought-out as a concept (I mean, a regular girl turning into THREE PEOPLE? And she fights CRIME with … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Triplicate Girl & Bouncing Boy

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

Ricky Stanicky Review

I know this is controversial, but I love that so many movies are straight-to-streaming these days. It really gives me a chance to catch up on outings that I might have skipped out on in theaters, and because there is less financial pressure to succeed, we are getting more movies released in this format. Instead of just getting canned, these movies are finding homes and … Continue reading Ricky Stanicky Review

AP Productions: The Commission #1

Try Outs Ryan Bennings’ house was still being repaired after the Resurgence so it wasn’t appropriate to hold the meeting there. He still had full access to Hyperion’s Light, however and opted to use it; flying around in Rex Robinson’s ship in light of recent events might have been tone deaf but as Ryan put it, “The spaceship is really badass.” For this meeting, he … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #1

Stew’s Reviews: Firestorm

I don’t tend to review a lot of older books for this column, I know. It’s not entirely a conscious choice. Historically, when I have reviewed books from before, say, the 1990’s, they don’t typically get the attention that books from that era onward do. And I am a man of the people! Folks tend to want to read comics from the timeframe in which … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Firestorm

Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Dream Girl & Star Boy

… Some characters are just kind of a GIFT to artists, ya know? DREAM GIRL (Nura Nal, aka Miss Terious, Dreamer)-Dream Girl’s another one of those curious “really? You want in with THAT power?” types that show up all over the Pre-Crisis DC Universe, so of course she has to save the whole team dozens of times. The rest of the time, she’s a Deanna … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Dream Girl & Star Boy
