  • “helping” in James Tynion IV’s Something is Killing the Children

    James is the sole survivor of an otherwise innocuous sleepover game of truth or dare. He and his friends go into the ravine in the back of his house in search of a monster he swore he didn’t make up. Unfortunately, there is a monster there and it kills all of his friends. The book

  • Rules To Keep A Story Real

    POSSIBLE SPOILERS! I worried that my ignorance of Arthurian lore would make it difficult to read Kieron Gillen’s Once and Future* series. Happily, this wasn’t the case. While I’m sure familiarity would make the story even more enjoyable because I’d pick up on nuances specific to the mythology, through Duncan, Gillen’s museum curator hero, I

  • New York Comic Con DAY 3

    The panel of the day was definitely the Ginormo panel not only because of the retro aesthetic it wants to promote. It was a great panel for me because I walked away with a list of YouTube creators to watch. The other big plus to the day was catching cosplayers “coming right out of the

  • New York Comic Con 2022 DAY 2

    I think every panel needs a “Kristin Schaal.” She burst onto the stage for The Mysterious Benedict panel and singlehandly raised the energy level. Watching to her speak about the show definitely outshown everything else on Day 2, including the American Born Chinese panel (the show I’m most looking forward to watching). For all the

  • New York Comic Con 2022 DAY 1

    Day 1 of this year’s NY Comic Con was definitely “Velma Day.” They even held an impromptu Velma contest before the panel with Mindy Kaling, excutive producer for the new show about Velma from Scooby Doo. Having experienced the fiasco of last year’s Anime NYC, I have to compliment ReedPop on how far they’ve come

  • Jughead as Thurber Man attending Degrassi High

    Jughead is best when his story stops being THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY and attempts to be Degrassi High. I preferred Volume 2 of Chip Zdarsky’s Jughead over Volume 1. It felt a little deeper than the first. More thoughtful. Volume 1 felt unimaginative despite the Jughead’s fanciful daydreams. It was formulaic and overly

  • Goodreads Review – Gotham Academy Volume 2

    Gotham Academy, Vol. 2: Calamity by Becky Cloonan WARNING! POTENTIAL SPOILERS! Waiting for the next volume of your favorite comic book series is like waiting for the next season of your favorite TV show to stream on Netflix. Sometimes it takes too long, so you forget certain details that help the story in the new

  • An Incredible iZombie Promise

    Where ABC and Fox make you wait a week to see the latest episode (unless you have a cable subscription), The CW understands that it’s commercial TV (not subscription) and that its viewers can’t stop their worlds (no matter how much they want to) to sit and watch their favorite show or, as in my…
