Trailer Review: Hoppers
From this trailer, Hoppers appears to have two premises, two plotlines, and I don’t really know how to feel about the second one.

REDACTED: Much More Creative Than It Seems
Redacted is an audio fiction podcast that takes a very well-worn concept and adds just enough twists on the formula to make it interesting again.
Pluribus: The Best Sci-Fi Concept In Years
Pluribus is a fascinating science fiction show with one of the most intriguing premises I’ve seen in years. For those that love the genre’s propensity for posing interesting, mind-expanding questions, this is it.
Thunderbolts*: Bleak But Amazing
Thunderbolts* (or, The New Avengers) is what you remember Marvel movies and shows being, back when it was a pretty sure thing that any given movie was going to be good, if not excellent. Somehow, the rhythms and plot progression that have now become standard work here. The comedy is funny. The action scenes are cool. The collection of very barebones characters doesn’t make the story flat or uninteresting.
Tron: Ares — Just Plain Good. Here’s Why.
In a world of jaded critics & fans, and collapsing franchises, this one actually delivers.

Reviewing Marvel Zombies Episodes (4 of 4)
Wow, am I glad that I decided to review all the episodes of Marvel Zombies. Because if I had dropped out when the show fell in quality, I would’ve missed the pure spectacle that is the final part of this story. I would’ve missed where, apparently, a lot of the animation efforts went.
Reviewing Marvel Zombies Episodes (3 of 4)
Marvel Zombies fell so far with this third episode. Every bad habit of the series, it seems, rushed out to the forefront, and the main thing to enjoy ends up being the gore. Not the animation—that’s often awful, full of plastic faces and stiff action scenes. The creative gore specifically makes this episode watchable.
Reviewing Marvel Zombies Episodes (2 of 4)
The second part of Marvel Zombies impressed me because of how weird it is, even compared to the first episode. The series really has become the bloody, gory toy box I talked about before, where Marvel characters are put in totally new frameworks.
Best Marvel’s Spider-Man Magic Cards (5 of 5)
The final part of our Marvel’s Spider-Man list is quite varied in what the cards do. The only thing—besides the obvious—tying the whole thing together is that they all feel like core pieces in different combo/synergy decks. Some may even see crossover uses.
Best Marvel’s Spider-Man Magic Cards (4 of 5)
We’re back at it! After a small break to start getting into some spooky media, we’ve got two more lists of Marvel’s Spider-Man cards to get through. This time, we’re getting into the multicolor cards—and there are some weird, but fun, options here.
Reviewing Marvel Zombies Episodes (1 of 4)
Considering how episodic the events of the first episode of Marvel Zombies are, it seems only fitting to review each part of this four-part mini-series on its own terms. The first episode certainly gives us a lot to talk about.
