0

By B.K. on Jun 22nd, 2018

Tired of discussing the subtitle character of Captain America: The Winter Soldier? No problem. Because there’s a new superhero in this Captain America sequel and he’s definitely worth talking about instead. Sam Wilson, a.k.a. the Falcon, first appeared in Captain America #117 (1969). He was the product of the creative duo Stan Lee and Gene…

BOOK PREVIEW: The Perfect Pathogen

By B.K. on Nov 5th, 2014

There is a part of me that is curious to know how the sci-fi publishing community is currently marketing books that have to do with pandemics right now.  One isn’t sure whether they may quietly put them on the back burner in favor of dealing with nanotech or something less pertinent, or whether they will…

Biowars: When the Science Makes Sci-Fi Exciting

0

By B.K. on Sep 16th, 2014

When first describing this series to a friend, the TV shows Osmosis Jones and The Magic School Bus came up in the conversation. The concept of the human body being used as sci-fi terrain is not unexplored, but Biowars is more than a trek through the biological system with the help of a magical vehicle. It’s more…

Back to the Future in Grayson: Futures End #1

0

By B.K. on Sep 8th, 2014

It came earlier than I had imagined it would: the execrable DC-wide tie-in issue. Grayson #3 is yet to be; this is the Grayson: Futures End one-shot. Staring at its cover, with Futures End emblazoned on the very top, and the big, white “#1” in the place of a “#3,” I found myself grimacing.  Why couldn’t…

Back on the Mission with DC’s Grayson #2

0

By B.K. on Aug 8th, 2014

The second issue of (formerly) Nightwing’s new series, Grayson, seems to prove that Issue One was not a complete fluke, much to my surprise and grudging approval.  The first one still stands above the second in terms of making every panel count; despite the fact that the first chapter was shorter by two pages, it felt like…

GRAPHIC NOVEL REVIEW: Seconds by Bryan Lee O’Malley

0

By B.K. on Aug 5th, 2014

If Scott Pilgrim is about really wanting something and giving your all to achieve it, Seconds might be about what comes after that: a reality check. These two stories aren’t connected per se, but coming from the same author, a few years apart, one can see how they track the progress of a young generation. Bryan Lee…

MOVIE REVIEW: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

0

By B.K. on Aug 4th, 2014

Guardians of the Galaxy may remain an outlier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it is one of the most enjoyable sci-fi adventure films I have seen in a while. Screenwriter Nicole Perlman and director James Gunn have managed to give us a fun movie (slightly reminiscent of Gunn’s cult classic The Fifth Element) that also…

By B.K. on Jul 24th, 2014

If you’ve ever wondered exactly how video game development works, this may be a good place to start. Extra Credits is an online series that centers around games, how they work, and the sub-culture that goes along with them. In particular, they have a nice number of videos on writing for games and what that entails….

By B.K. on Jul 22nd, 2014

The Show:  Knights of Sidonia’s main claim to fame is that it is the first anime series to be broadcasted in America exclusively by Netflix. Despite what the phrase “A Netflix Original Series” may make one assume, Knights of Sidonia (Shidonia no Kishi) is based on a manga originally published in Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine. The series…

BOOM! Studios’ Translucid: The Supervillain as Superhero Catalyst

0

By B.K. on Jul 17th, 2014

After reading the synopsis for Translucid, the first thing I wondered was why everyone who likes superheroes isn’t reading this series and talking about it already. Comixology’s little blurb for the BOOM! Studios series goes like this: The Horse has been the arch-enemy of The Navigator for years. But The Horse feels The Navigator’s moral compass slipping,…
