So Why Was It Successful?:ASS. Ass ass ass. And legs. Sometimes boobs. But mostly ass and legs. J. Scott Campbell was made an almost instant superstar, and the fact that the book reveled in T&A more than anything else in Image at the time was a big turn-on to an audience of horny teenage boys. This wasn’t like a Liefeld or Lee book, where there … Continue reading Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: Gen 13 part 2
Mothers and their children share a special something something. Hey, I don’t know what to tell you; my own mom was the dirt fucking worst. All kinds of abusive and really just the absolute pits. She died a long time ago, though, so it’s fine. I won. But what are you, my therapist? This isn’t what you are here for! You’re here for the Top Ten … Continue reading Top Ten: Fictional Mothers
Does anyone know if Deadly Foes of Spider-Man still holds up? I loved that mini-series from the early 1990’s, but I worry that it will have aged poorly if I try to go back to it. If I recall it correctly, it had some aspects that absolutely should have survived as good story-telling (a humanizing portrayal of Boomerang, a kick-ass female character in Leila Davis, and a … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Superior Foes of Spider-Man

Last month, I lamented that I had only seen ten movies in the span of an entire month. I went on a September TEAR to make up for that! So let’s get straight into the first half of September’s recommendations. MOVIES Seventeen days, twelve movies. That’s more like it. I kind of blew up in the last few days of August, man. And those ratings … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: September 2021
Wait, this is strange. I don’t randomly review Raw. And when I do, I spend most of the night mesmerized by magical mirrors. I am doing a fill in job tonight, though, to help out 411Mania while Thomas is unavailable this week, so you get some special coverage from your buddy Stew! And what a night to watch! WWE (and Big E on Twitter) have … Continue reading Raw Review 9/13/2021
THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989): Written by: Hans Christian Andersen (original story), Roger Allers, Howard Ashman, Ron Clements & John Musker And now we come to the TRUE game-changer at the studio- the movie that started The Disney Renaissance, and helped define a decade. Coming out in the late 1980s after a series of “scratchy outline” movies and weaker faire, this Fairy Tale-based story had some work … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Little Mermaid
Here’s the thing. I usually break down my movie reviews into three sections: Non-Spoiler intro / Spoiler story section / Non-spoiler wrap-up. There is virtually no way possible I can talk about this movie without at least mild spoilers. I just wouldn’t have very much to say! So here’s your advance warning: This ENTIRE ARTICLE is a SPOILER WARNING! Yeah, look at that trailer! Man, … Continue reading Malignant Review
The Legion of Super-Heroes is one of the oldest super-teams in all of comics, and one of its most original ideas. Which is kind of funny, because it was dealt with very off-handedly at first in your typical “Superboy” adventure. Superboy at the time was basically “The Adventures of Superman when he was a boy!”, and the Legionnaires introduced were just the original three: Saturn … Continue reading Jab’s Deep Dives: The Legion of Super-Heroes
I was improperly raised on horror movies as a child, as I have detailed before. In addition to the semi-regular Jason-based nightmares that are just ingrained in my DNA at this point, it has given me a lifelong love of the genre. Horror cinema just combines some of the best parts of every other field of film-making; they can be funny and mysterious and tense and … Continue reading Top Ten: Horror Films of the 2010’s
Welcome back, chums! Last week, we looked at my ten favorite Pokemon from the original series of games, Red, Blue, and Yellow! We’re moving on to Generation 2 this week to see who is the creme de la creme from the Gameboy Color era of Pokemon. I love Generation 2, and I had a copy of Pokemon Crystal for ages that I played over and … Continue reading Top Ten: Generation Two Pokemon
For more on this series up to this point, click HERE! #80. Preacher #50 The second of what I’m sure will be at least a few more Preacher books on this list–Wizard loved this book so damn hard–I was surprised by how much I liked the previous offering. I distinctly recall not having liked Preacher much when it was being published. And this issue has … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, Part 5 (#80-76)
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
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-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
