Why I Didn’t Watch Trese Episode 2
Trese has an awful first episode. It’s such an underwhelming piece of animated storytelling in almost every regard. I’m probably not even going to watch three episodes for a full review.

Omniscient Reader: Flashy And Empty
While I’m not planning to make a habit out of reviewing Webtoon comics, Omniscient Reader caught my attention because of its sudden spiking popularity, and admittedly strong initial premise.
I’m The Grim Reaper: A Dark and Beautiful Comic
Reviewing I’m the Grim Reaper is a novelty. To my knowledge, this is the first time we’ve covered a Webtoon on Scifibloggers.
Megatomic Battle Rabbit: A Promising Showing
Megatomic Battle Rabbit is a little out of my usual purview for a few reasons. The first simply because it’s a comic book. I’m predominantly a movie and television critic, but I know instances of good writing when I see it.
Into The Spider-Verse: Spectacular And Better
Into The Spider-Verse Is A Masterpiece Considering the movie already won an Oscar, I don’t think I need to push too hard on getting you watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. But, just in case you haven’t heard this: you need to see this movie. It’s a comic book given the animation treatment, and it does it…
Why My Girlfriend Hates Iron Man
For the record, I think Robert Downey Jr can be a fantastic actor. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes and if you’ve ever seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, you know he has a talent for comedic timing. Yet every time I have a conversation with my girlfriend about Iron Man, she snorts and tells…
Are There Too Many Comic Book Movies?
Yes, but let me explain why. Comic book movies were never really “in vogue” throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. Oh sure, Superman was seen as a classic portrayal of the Man of Steel, and Tim Burton introduced us to a much Darker Knight than most people had seen in Batman. But these movies were…
TRAILER TALK: Fantastic Four (2015)
Fantastic Four, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a…
A Look at “Chomp” from Director Lynne Hansen
Today, I was fortunate enough to get to see a special private screening of the short film “Chomp”, directed by Lynne Hansen. A horror-comedy piece that seeks to make fun of all the zombie media that has come out as of late, it lampoons it with the campy story of a man who is mistaken for…
Retconning
Retconning, a term often encountered by even the most casual of fans, is one of the most significant, game-changing ideas in the world of entertainment (comics, television, etc.), and yet most people don’t know it from the kind of clubs Tiger Woods uses on the golf course. This essay will explain what retconning is. Simply…
Back on the Mission with DC’s Grayson #2
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
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…
