Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Andromeda & Kent Shakespeare

Now that I’ve started off with mini-bios of Superboy & Supergirl, here’s their Post-Crisis stand-ins & successors: Andromeda & Kent Shakespeare! They- they knew what they were doing with the wording and the body language in that last panel, weren’t they? Original Laurel Gand:Andromeda was one of those odd Legionnaires chosen to fill a gap- this gap being Supergirl’s history with the Legion. Introduced as … Continue reading Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Andromeda & Kent Shakespeare

Jab’s Legion of Super-Heroes Reviews: Superboy & Supergirl

So this obscure fellow is actually an idea Siegel & Shuster came up with a few years later- some would say they based him off of Fawcett Comics’ success with Captain Marvel Jr., but instead of making a sidekick character, they just told the stories of “Superman When He Was a Boy”.

The Batman (2022) review

Wow, what can I say about Matt Reeves’ take on The Batman? After nearly a decade of Snyder & Affleck nearly ruining cinematic Bat adventures for me (seriously, Batman using MACHINE GUNS and KILLING PEOPLE?! I mean, could you miss the point of the character’s backstory anymore? Especially when so heavily relying on the “Martha” reference to tie your “Snyderverse” together?) Ok, enough of my ranting … Continue reading The Batman (2022) review
