By Nolan P. Smith If you watched all of the seasons of Breaking Bad, then you know you have wanted to find out what exactly happened to Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). Well, it took a few years, but we finally get an answer with El Camino: A Breaking Bad movie. Was it worthy enough to carry the coveted Breaking Bad […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Cartoonist Charles Addams created the Addams Family in 1938. It started as a one-panel comic in the New Yorker before being spawned into a successful television show, animated shows, and a film series directed by Barry Sonnenfeld in the 1990s. And as much as I would love to wax nostalgic about how great the live-action television show […]
By Nolan P Smith I love professional wrestling. Anyone who knows me knows this. I grew up on the WWF: the spectacle, the storylines, the characters- it’s a work of art. Even to this day, I still follow several promotions, excited to see how the business continues to evolve. So when I saw Mad Cave Studios was publishing a book […]
By Nolan P. Smith Mad Cave Studios has brought us some fantastic comics in the past years. From Honor and Curse to Battlecats and Show’s End, I have been impressed with their diverse lineup of genres. With Wolvenheart, we jump into a world of time-traveling monster hunters lead by Van Hellsing: tell me that doesn’t already sound amazing. From Mark […]
By Jeremiah Gagnon Starting out, we see a battered and bruised lady with red hair being rescued, by what I believe to be a Kenku, from the wreckage of a ship. We then cut to a dock full of people with more being placed from rowboats after what looks like a battle in the harbour. Everything seems pretty bleak here […]
By Daniel Schwartz Imagine a world that has recently dodged a near-apocalyptic bullet. Certain that the planet was doomed, humanity falls into chaos and nearly destroys itself before the extraterrestrial threat (meteor) arrives. Now, imagine that the meteor did not have the expected cataclysmic result, and life continued on. The world is suffering from collective PTSD and trying to recover. […]

By Nolan P. Smith Editor It has been one of the most widely criticized films even before it hit the theaters, but the time has finally come. DC’s most iconic villain has received his own movie, but this isn’t your comic book action-packed blockbuster type of film. So, what exactly is The Joker? Directed by Todd Phillips, the film stars […]
By Kevin Hoskinson I’m going to admit this up front; I really like Zach Galifianakis. He’s one of the most unique, different, and exciting comedy personalities working today. He has an interesting sense of humor and a unique personality that makes him stand out from the rest. His performances in the Hangover movies were the best of the trilogy, and […]

By Nolan P. Smith I didn’t really see this one coming, but it looks like we have reached the end of Black Hammer, or at least that is the feeling I got after reading this issue. Not familiar with Black Hammer? It is the must-read superhero book of the year, time to catch up. Take the archetypes of the superheroes […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor I have loved the two previous series of Ether from Dark Horse Comics. With the start to the third series, we get a very different and dark tone, and I am extremely intrigued. Welcome to Ether: the Disappearance of Violet Bell. From Matt Kindt, David Rubin and Kike j. Diaz, this series starts off on […]

Valiant Entertainment has launched a brand new series for everybody’s favorite killing machine, Bloodshot. Bloodshot is one of Valiant’s mainstay heroes, having been around from Valiant’s original heyday. This new series […]
By Nolan P. Smith Not all apocalyptic scenarios need zombies. Take Midnight Sky from Scout Comics. The sun gets blotted out of the sky, weird demons that are exposed in the light surface, and a family is torn between it all: sounds amazing? It is. From writer James Pruett, illustrated by Scott Van Domelen, with colors by Ilaria Fella, Midnight […]
By Nolan P. Smith I often seek out books that stand out, that offer something different or unique from what we usually see on the shelves. For this week, one of those books was The Forever Maps #1 from Scout Comics. Written by Michael Lagace, art by Todor Hristov, part of Scout Comics Nonstop! Line, which releases a first issue, […]
By Nolan P. Smith I have enjoyed the mini-series Dead End Kids from Source Point Press since the beginning. The book about a group of troubled teens in a very troubled world caught my interests from issue one and has not let go. With this 3rd and final issue, we see who was responsible for bens murder and where that […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Downton Abbey, the British television who that captured the hearts of millions around the globe, has been resurrected for the big screen courtesy of Focus Features. Starting in 2010, Downton aired six seasons (or “series,” if you are so inclined), before the show ended in 2015. A couple of years ago, the rumor was that a film […]
By Jerimiah Gagnon Right off the bat, the cover to Marvel Action Spider-Man #8 leads me to believe that there is more to this story than meets the eye and I am eager to find out if my original quanderings have merit. A good Spider-Man story never disappoints, will this one prove this to be true? From Delilah S. Dawson, […]

By Nolan P. Smith It’s not every day I start a book and can’t put it down. But that is precisely what happened when I decided to start reading Little Mama one night.
