Xander Is The Pits: A BTVS Retrospective, Episodes 7-8

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Oh, episode 7 is called “Angel”, so I’m expecting some answers I already know (because I’m not oblivious to pop culture) to all the questions I have and don’t really care about. But you know what? The episode is not called “Xander”, so we’ll call it a win! Oh man, The Master is going to send The Three after … Continue reading Xander Is The Pits: A BTVS Retrospective, Episodes 7-8

MCU Phase 4: Ups And Downs

Well, as of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, we are officially into Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the highly divisive Phase Four is finally and fully in our rear-view mirror. With the unprecedented success of, and overall affection for, the MCU’s efforts through its first three phases, a backslide in Phase Four was inevitable. Though exactly how far the slide regressed the … Continue reading MCU Phase 4: Ups And Downs

AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #4

Ryan and Labrat sat on a large couch, watching an oversized screen that nearly stretched across the entire wall in his living room. Ryan poured himself a drink, the first for the day but not the last. It was a lot of space for only two people. Onscreen, a reporter introduced the program’s subject, “Sade Sterling is an international model, a member of MENSA and … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #4

Stew’s Reviews: Radiant Black volume 1

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

I Hate Xander: A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Retrospective, Episodes 5-6

Episode 5 This episode starts off and makes me angry right angry. Every time Buffy kills a vamp, they disintegrate, right? I mean, one the one hand, I get that, but it doesn’t ALWAYS make sense. Like… why would freshly turned vampires turn to dust? Their bodies are’t old and rotted. Whatever, that’s not the point. This vampire leaves behind a ring when he dies. … Continue reading I Hate Xander: A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Retrospective, Episodes 5-6

Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 3

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

And of course, following the rule of “Evil Counterparts”, he needed to have the same outfit … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: TMNT (Slash)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes 3-4

EPISODE 3 We’re back with more of my first ever watch of Buffy The Vampire Slayer! Let’s see how the first pair of non-pilot episodes looked! The episode starts off very cheerleader heavy. Buffy has joined the Sunnydale cheerleading squad (well, she is signed up for tryouts, and for that, they already give you the outfit, apparently). Giles disapproves because his entire character is “Giles … Continue reading Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes 3-4

Stew’s Series Reviews: Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 2

We are back to getting through Stew’s many volumes of a manga series he started buying, but stopped reading way too long ago: Komi Can’t Communicate! In volume one, we started meeting the core cast of characters, including the titular Komi, who has such direly extreme social anxiety that she can not speak in front of others. But she can write! Or even make short … Continue reading Stew’s Series Reviews: Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 2
