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”

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”
