Let me start off by saying I was beyond anticipating Saban’s Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon since its announcement. It was a definite Top-5 book I had on my pull list. The entire plot of an “Old Man” Tommy Oliver powering up “one more time” to save his son felt like something new and fresh. … Read more
Possibly the hottest topic in the comic book movie sphere is the currently filming Joker film starring Joaquin Phoenix. The movie received quite the mixed reaction upon its original announcement, but since has picked up steam in what I can only describe as a cultesque following. Some due to the fact that Joker possesses a huge fan following, … Read more
Out of the slate of DC Comics movies we got a couple of years ago, there’s one that drew the short straw — The Flash. Of course excluding Cyborg, which seems to be having its own issues. Whether it’s been The Flash losing multiple directors, or an actor who was cast being cut (due to the Justice League screwup) and then … Read more
Something that slightly concerns me (as a writer) is the over saturation of a character, or story genre. As a consumer, I’m extremely concerned by over saturation, because when looking at it from a writer’s perspective, you can always try to find a new and interesting way to tell a story about any over saturated … Read more
One of the bigger events that’s on the comic book horizon is the next installment in DC Comics’ long spanning Crisis events — Heroes in Crisis. This Crisis is being penned by the most recent “it creator,” Tom King, and pencilled by Clay Mann. Of course this is coming post No Justice, which (in my opinion) was on of the … Read more
One of DC Comics’ big bets to the future of their direct-to-consumer streaming service — DC Universe — is their live-action TITANS show. And there’s been some buzz around it sporadically as bits and pieces had been either officially released (like with the first shot of Brenton Thwaites as Robin/Dick Grayson), or leaked (as in the case of Anna … Read more
We’re a mere 3-days away from San Diego Comic Con (SDCC), and only 5-days from the highly anticipated Hall-H! Of course this time of year is fueling off a tremendous amount of adrenaline, and comic book fans all around the world are itching to find out the scoop— and this year that “#MustSee” is Aquaman. It’s indisputable … Read more
One thing is for certain: the DCEU has had one hell of a turbulent ride the last year. It’s undeniable that the film universe has become highly polarized, and with the recent “bomb” that was Justice League there was a feel of “Could this be the end?”. But things (for a moment) had been appearing to stabilize, and … Read more
I think I’ve probably been the most vocal critic of Tom King‘s current run on Batman of anyone on the interweb. But more specifically his uniting of Batman and Catwoman under the sacred vow of “’til death do us part”. My reason being that it’s out of character for the “Dark Knight,” let alone had an aura … Read more
As a huge fan of The Realm and the brilliant minds that make up its creative team, I was beyond ecstatic when issue-7 hit shelves. Jeremy Haun and Seth M. Peck have (and continue to) managed to forge a transcending idea with their combination of the highly popculturized post-apocalyptic and the game of the nerd, Dungeons … Read more
