So I Bought A Bunch Of Comic Books This Week…

Devotees of SWO Productions may remember that my absolute favorite comic book character–my favorite fictional character at all, mind you–is Jubilee of the X-Men. I’ve written about her before, and I have reviewed so many comics that feature her. And in her history, she’s been honestly kind of everywhere. X-Books, obviously (so many different ones, from Uncanny X-Men through mini-series books like X-Tremists and Dead … Continue reading So I Bought A Bunch Of Comic Books This Week…

Top Ten Favorite Movie Franchises

Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve actually done this list before. I’m not even going to link to it because it was years and years ago, and a lot has changed since then. I’ve watched and re-watched a lot more movies. And new movies have come out, affecting some franchises’ positioning on the list… for better or worse. Also, the previous list had one glaring omission… … Continue reading Top Ten Favorite Movie Franchises

Stew’s Reviews: X-Tremists

There was a lull—a dark age, if you will—in comics for a lot of the very late 1990’s to the mid-2010’s. People don’t talk about it much, but it was a terrible time for the industry. There were some good products here or there, but largely, there was a substantial vacuum. You see, during that timeframe, it was nigh impossible to find Jubilee appearing consistently … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: X-Tremists

Stew’s Reviews: Mystique

Welcome back, friends. I hope you’re all having a good week and are ready for another classic comic review here at Stew’s Reviews! I was doing some research for today’s article when I found out that Brian K Vaughan is about four years older than I am. And given how old some of his more famous works are… that is legitimately depressing. He has accomplished … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Mystique

Baltimore Comic Con 2024 Review

This past weekend, I made the four hour trip down to Baltimore for the 25th edition of the Baltimore Comic Con. It was my first time ever visiting Baltimore for their annual convention; I had previously only ever been to the city for AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view event in 2019. My visits to The Old Line State are typically at the other end of it … Continue reading Baltimore Comic Con 2024 Review

Stew’s Reviews: Battle of the Atom

Three straight DC articles and then two straight X-Men reviews? Rut City, am I right? No, actually, there is a reason for this. Bear with me. We just recorded a podcast all about X-Titles this past weekend, and I got to go into how I am the biggest X-fan on our show and how I have been enamored of Marvel’s mutants since the beginning of … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Battle of the Atom

Stew’s Reviews: Fall of the Mutants

It took a long time for video games starring famous comic book characters to be any good. Sure, we live in an era where take games like Batman: Arkham City or Spider-Man for the PS4 for granted because game companies have been improving on them forever, but in my youth? It was the dregs. Things would improve in my teens, but before that, I had the rightly-maligned X-Men game … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Fall of the Mutants

Stew’s Reviews: World War Wendigo

We’re still reviewing some of the books I picked up at the discount store that I mentioned last week. And since I wrote that article, I made a second trip out and picked up ANOTHER JSA trade that they had for sale, so I’m still stocking up on those. So since I have noticed the sale, I’ve picked up two JSA books and two X-Men … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: World War Wendigo

Episode 53(?): X-Men Origins – Wolverine

I may have misnumbered my episodes. Last episode saw us go from #52 to #54. Whoops! Human error, folks! I could edit the episode titles, but I prefer to let my mistakes outlive me. ANYWAY, this episode, the guys from the Culture Shocked podcast join the order to discuss the notoriously bad X-Men Origins – Wolverine, and Stew has now covered all three movies in … Continue reading Episode 53(?): X-Men Origins – Wolverine
