    The Tie-Ins That Bind: Bonus Audio (Bill and Ted omnibus, Robin, Cruella)

    I was on the road and I wanted a test. So here we go. Here’s 3 reviews I spoke into a memo app.

    The Snyder Cuts: Man of Steel

    I like Zack Snyder and that feels wrong. I like his movies quite a bit actually. I hate Sucker Punch, sure, but that’s almost impossible to like.… Read more “The Snyder Cuts: Man of Steel”

    The Tie-Ins That Bind: Rogue: Untouched by Alisa Kwitney

    Confession: I don’t get the appeal of Rogue and Gambit. Like it’s not that they’re bad characters but they have the least dramatic story of any superhero… Read more “The Tie-Ins That Bind: Rogue: Untouched by Alisa Kwitney”

    Pandamonium Week 3: Kung Fu Panda 3

    And so we come to the end. The Kung Fu Panda trilogy ended oddly quietly in 2016. The gross was decent if unspectacular. The film likely lost… Read more “Pandamonium Week 3: Kung Fu Panda 3”

    Pandamonium Week 2: Kung Fu Panda 2

    In the summer of 2011, two sequels opened within weeks of each other that greatly altered my opinion of the preceding film. The first was The Hangover… Read more “Pandamonium Week 2: Kung Fu Panda 2”

    The Tie-Ins That Bind: First Team by Robbie MacNiven

    Can I just say how incredibly exciting the tie-in game is right now? This is probably the most fun it’s been in years. Titan Books is the… Read more “The Tie-Ins That Bind: First Team by Robbie MacNiven”

    Pandamonium Week 1: Kung Fu Panda

    It’s impossible for me to separate Kung Fu Panda from how I saw it. I attended the first public showing at the Little Rock IMAX theater. It… Read more “Pandamonium Week 1: Kung Fu Panda”

    The Tie-Ins That Bind: Superman Smashes the Klan by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru

    I’ll be blunt. The legendary serial Clan of the Fiery Cross isn’t that great. Yes it’s great the story took on the KKK but it’s really thin… Read more “The Tie-Ins That Bind: Superman Smashes the Klan by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru”

    The Tie-Ins That Bind: Black Widow: Bad Blood by Serial Box

    How do I review a tie-in that conforms to none of my usual norms? Black Widow: Bad Blood isn’t a book or an audio drama. It’s a… Read more “The Tie-Ins That Bind: Black Widow: Bad Blood by Serial Box”

    The Tie-Ins That Bind: Spider-Man: The Venom Factor Omnibus by Diane Duane

    I don’t often do rereviews. If I read a book, that’s my verdict and I move on. In theory this would be one of those times. I… Read more “The Tie-Ins That Bind: Spider-Man: The Venom Factor Omnibus by Diane Duane”
