Comic RECAP/REVIEW Catwoman #8: The Statue of the Walking Dead??
Catwoman #8 has a very fast pace to it, covering quite a bit of ground, with quite a bit of action throughout the story. It is also a bit confusing though. This issue is named Something Smells Fishy 2 of 2, yet it feels like a new story arc that contains threads of the past and tons of questions

Netflix’s Umbrella Academy Cleans Up Comic Book Story, Loses Everything that Made It Special
The Umbrella Academy, Netflix's latest comic book adaptation, is fine, I guess. The story plays out in a sufficient arc, the pacing is steady, and the action is pretty decent. While I was never bored, however, I was also never really excited. And that's what surprised me most by this series.
Comic Review Wonder Twins #1: Back To School
Wonder Twins is the third of the new Wonder Comics titles meant for younger readers. The cool thing is that this title draws from past characters that have rarely been seen outside the 80's cartoons in the Wonder Twins. First off they look like Spock's relatives from Star Trek. They have both have
Comic Review Self Made #3: Round One – FIGHT!
The one thing I have noticed with this series, it is not a fast read, nor light on detail. Some comics you can sit down and flash through in a few minutes or two. Others you can read fast, but need a second go through for what you miss. This title largely takes a slower, more measured pace. It is

“I Love Boosters” Review – A Vibrant, Unhinged Satirical Takedown Of Everything
Indulging every absurd idea that pops into his head, the film unfolds with propulsive vibrance and unshackled execution. That approach turns out to be a bit of a gift and a curse for Riley; a gift in the sense that we get something fresh and original, but a curse because its unbridled approach

“The Furious” Review – Martial Arts Mayhem That Levels Up The Genre
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.

‘The Punisher: One Last Kill’ Review – Frank Castle Fights Back, Mentally And Physically
This is a first for Marvel Studios and their Marvel Television branch for their Special Presentations. We've had others like Werewolf By Night that introduced a new character, but not one for an already established character like The Punisher. The Punisher: One Last Kill comes off the heels of his
