DCeased: War Of The Undead Gods Review

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

JOHN RITTER WAS ON THIS SHOW?! A BTVS Retrospective: S2 E11-12

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! After that tense two-parter, we handily clean up our unresolved plot threads by seeing Buffy, Xander, and Willow casually alert the audience that the Court Of Terrakion contract has been cancelled for… reasons. They are also making super hip and timely 1997 references to Captain & Tenille… though that MIGHT have been the joke, and I’m not prepared for … Continue reading JOHN RITTER WAS ON THIS SHOW?! A BTVS Retrospective: S2 E11-12

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On (2021)

I went into “Marvel the Shell With Shoes On” expecting basically just a long form of his numerous YouTube videos. What I found was a deeply moving, often funny, sometimes tearjerkingly sad, masterpiece of a story. Marcel lives alone with his grandmother after an incident caused the rest of his family and neighbors to vanish one evening. The two share a house and soon find … Continue reading Marcel the Shell With Shoes On (2021)

AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #6

“I never knew how much pain you carried with you,” Miles Cady whispered into Ryan’s ear, “Although I was aware of how much misery you caused,” he pointed to the video displaying old wedding footage, “It’s good to know you acknowledge that misery somewhere in your psyche.” Cady took a step back, “You have the tool to end this now,” he indicated the gun still … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #6

AP Productions: Cavalier #11

After the alien invasion of 1981, the world was introduced to Neutronium, which allowed humanity the ability to give itself powers. World governments immediately seized alien technology and this rare element in hopes that it would not fall into enemy hands. Unfortunately, some Neutronium ended up on the black market before various government entities could fully act. In New York, back-alley doctors, mad scientists and … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #11

Sometimes There Are 2-Parters: A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E9-10

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Buffy, Willow, and Xander are at school filling out a test to decide what kind of job they will be best at. Is this a real thing? I see this in fiction a lot, but my school never did this. Also, it’s apparently optional here, as Buffy notes the principal is making her do it. See, man? This guy … Continue reading Sometimes There Are 2-Parters: A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E9-10

Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 4

It’s time to check out Komi Can’t Communicate volume 4. And I’m closing in on where I stopped reading last year when I started buying this series. After the shopping and pool day chapters in volumes 2 and 3, I’m curious to see how writer/artist Tomohito Oda will find new ways to draw characters in eye-catching apparel this time. We got an odd pairing to … Continue reading Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 4

Suzume Review

Is it possible to be both a one-trick pony and yet also incredibly versatile with your trick? That’s the question I am left with as I have just watched Makoto Shinkai’s newest offering, Suzume. Of his previous works, I’ve seen his two most famous: 2016’s Your Name., and 2019’s Weathering With You. And here’s the truth of the matter: Shinkai loves doing teenage love stories … Continue reading Suzume Review

AP Productions: Cavalier #10

1946… Reginald Hawkwood leapt into battle with his shield held high. As the Cavalier, he wore a silver knight’s helmet with chainmail and a red tunic covering his torso with brown boots and gloves. The silver shield and helmet provided more than enough protection against the Nazis’ guns once they opened fire, allowing him to rush into the small mob and begin bashing them with … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #10
