Review: Daredevil 1.8 – Shadows in the Glass

The eighth episode of Marvel and Netflix’s Daredevil series is probably the best episode. In fact it feels very much like the end of the first half of the season. Whereas “Stick” was an origin story of Matt’s skills and established what shaped him to be the man he is, “Shadows in the Glass” is Wilson Fisk’s origin.

Review: iZombie 1.6 - Virtual Reality Bites

I truly look forward to this show every Tuesday. The show is nothing what I expected, and I think a lot of new comic fans would agree. To put it in one sentence, I expected was some typical over sexualized zombie to fight with her friends and fall in love with total losers while failing at life, but what I got was an average girl who was at the wrong place and now has to deal with seclusion while solving crimes and turning not to hurt the people she loves.

Review: Batman vs. Robin

Okay, I admit it. I am a sucker for these DC direct to digital and disc releases of their comics universe. Even the bad ones, I like to watch, if for anything, just for the sheer enjoyment of the medium. I have felt that the animation is always good regardless of plot. In that way, if I have a story that is way subpar, at least I have something pretty to look at.

Review: Manifest Destiny #14

Throughout the entire run of Manifest Destiny, Lewis and Clark have been placed into very defined boxes. Clark is the warrior and leader type, while Lewis is the egg headed weakling.

Review: Deadly Class #12

After a 2 month break from the 80’s murderous story of assassin teen angst, I found my return to Deadly Class to be a breath of fresh air.

Review: Gotham 1.20 – Under The Knife

Did I actually enjoy an episode of Gotham? I think I did, the show is still jerky and confuses the DC/Batman mythology, but this episode had some really enjoyable set pieces. The show still had its concurrent story-lines (minus Fish Mooney) but this time they flowed together well. Usually the show feels like each storyline is written separately, filmed separately and then edited together by a third party.

Review: ApocalyptiGirl: An Aria For The End Times

Do you like strong female characters? Me too. Especially when they feel like they can actually do the things depicted.

Review: Postal #3

There is one word that sums up how I feel about Top Cow’s small town murder mystery book, Postal. It’s a word - a name, if we’re being clear - that is used as much in praise as it is in exclamation. And in its third issue, not only is it used as a deft bit of levity, but to show a beautifully nuanced progression of character and conflict.

Eisner Awards: Praises and Snubs

Without even looking at my news feed, twitter feed or basically anything on the internet I know there is a collective celebration of the diversity on this list (just kidding I already looked). I'm very happy about that too, in fact you may recall my "What Are You Looking Forward to in 2015" end of the year list in which I wanted more diversity.

Review: Divinity #3

After my review of Divinity #2, I ended up in a pretty long conversation with a close friend about this comic, telling him how much I enjoyed it and speculating about where I thought the story might eventually turn.
