Agents of SHIELD Retrospect – Part 2

The Bad Welcome back to our two part Agents of SHIELD retrospective.  If you missed part 1 (and why would you read the second part before the first), I went over some of the things I loved about the series.  As you probably figured out, I’ll be talking about the worst aspects of the series in this part, which will likely earn a lot of … Continue reading Agents of SHIELD Retrospect – Part 2

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (128-129)

SAILOR MOON SUPERS: Typically called Super S in the West by my recollection, it’s actually called SuperS, but most of the online Sailor Moonfandom had never seen it at the time (the mid-90s). This whole season has a very palpable sense of “… so, I came up with their past, their future, then added the Sailors for the missing Planets… well SHIT. NOW what do I do?” So Naoko … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (128-129)

Pop-Tart Quest: Strawberry Milkshake

POP-TARTS ARE FOREVER. POP-TARTS ARE A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND. BLOOD POP-TARTS. TWO KARAT POP-TARTS. WAIT, NONE OF THESE SOUND RIGHT. THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! I know I have given Pop-Tarts some crap in the past over flavors like Pink Lemonade, Orange Crush, and A&W Root Beer because drinks aren’t food. But what if they kind of split the difference? Milkshakes! Milkshakes are the food of … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Strawberry Milkshake

Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: Deathblow, Gen 13

Yes, DEATHBLOW. I’m less surprised by the name and more surprised they didn’t come up with it elsewhere- it’s possibly the most “Iron Age” name in a line that includes Warblade, Ripclaw, and Ballistic. The comic itself is an attempt by Jim Lee to ape Frank Miller, and it’s curious and bold on that attempt- as Lee is about 100 times as skilled as most … Continue reading Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: Deathblow, Gen 13

Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings Review

Okay. Okay, okay. I am more calm than I was when I wrote that review *checks clock* 15 minutes ago. Let’s look at this more rationally and critically. Guys, this movie is truly amazing. Just… I’m still floored. I want to turn around and go watch it again. Okay, it turns out I am really bad at objectivity. I am also saying “Okay” a LOT. … Continue reading Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings Review

Stew’s Reviews: The Brave & The Bold

Welcome back to Stew’s Reviews! Devotees will know that it was only a few weeks ago that we were talking Green Lanterns (The War of the Green Lanterns, specifically), and fate has steered us back towards the chartreuse champion as we dig into a six issue miniseries for the second week in a row (this one ends, though, don’t worry!), DC’s The Brave and the Bold. No … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Brave & The Bold

Pop-Tart Quest: Splitz Part 2

NO PICTURESQUE FOOD THIS WEEK; WE’RE BACK TO POP-TARTS THAT DO NOT DOUBLE AS FINE ART. THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! More smooshing! Pop-Tarts loves to release things thematically nowadays; they do very few solo releases that I can remember in recent months. The Orange Crush and Root Beer flavors came in tandem, and so did these Splitz (also: the two next flavors on the list … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Splitz Part 2

Agents of SHIELD Retrospect – Part 1

The Good Stuff In August of 2020, the Marvel TV show Agents of SHIELD aired its 136th and final episode after seven seasons with little fanfare.  While TV shows come and go and seven seasons is quite an achievement, this particular show is very interesting.  I still remember seeing a trailer for the pilot episode in a movie theater, I remember #ItsAllConnected being slapped on … Continue reading Agents of SHIELD Retrospect – Part 1

SummerSlam 2021 Review

Trying something new tonight, so you’ll have to let me know what you think! I’ll be more-or-less LIVE REVIEWING SummerSlam tonight. That means I’ll be publishing this article right about when SummerSlam airs, and then updating it regularly throughout the show. Clearly a stolen idea from the Live Coverage articles over at 411Mania, but they love me there, so they’ll allow it (I hope!). I’m … Continue reading SummerSlam 2021 Review

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon R – The Movie

SAILOR MOON R- THE MOVIE:Yes, they made three movies for the Sailor Moon franchise. The animation is of course glorious compared to anything you’d see in the cartoon, with bodies having both shading AND highlights, and the frame-rate going up a bit, too, with lots of glamorous shots and better posing than the “straight-on” stuff from a more mundane TV episode. The three middle seasons, Sailor Moon R, S and SuperS, … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon R – The Movie
