By Nolan P. Smith With the Netflix original film debuting on January 25th, I figured now would be a great time to check out and review the three Polar volumes, available at your local comic shops, bookstores and the Dark Horse Comics app. Being a big fan of Victor Santos’ work, I am surprised at myself that it has taken […]

By Kevin Hoskinson Sometimes, you open a new book and instantly know that it’s going to be unlike anything you have ever seen before. Everything seems new and fresh, from the artwork to the setting. This was the case when I started to read the first issue in the new volume of Scrimshaw. Set in the far future, the world […]
By Jason T. Smith The Transformers franchise doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to live action flicks. The critically panned Michael Bay series of films abandoned the heart of the robots in disguise from the days of animated series and comic books and went with a loud, soulless series of films with the Transformers named attached to it. […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Disney had a lot to live up to when it was announced that the studio was moving forward to a sequel to their classic 1964 film “Mary Poppins”. It’s almost reasonably certain that the pressure was on for the studio, and everything had to be perfect. The casting, music and pure magic that made the first one […]
By Nolan P. Smith DC Comics hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to their cinematic universe.

Like some others out there, I was introduced to The Maxx through the short-lived MTV animated series of the same name. For a series that only ran 13 episodes, it stuck with me. The animation was cool, the character of the Maxx was unique and different, and the story was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was dark […]

Second, this will be the first single issue I have reviewed for a Vault Comics title, having reviewed a trade paperback in the past (Failsafe). As soon as I got […]

The first time I heard of the new series Manifest was at Comic-Con in July. They had an interesting offsite exhibit. It was an oxygen bar where you could relax, breathe in some flavored air and watch the trailer for the new series. It had a fascinating premise. I have to say; I was sold. I put a reminder on […]
Since seeing the solicit of the first issue of Scout Comics’ Long Lost #1, I have been a fan. The horror mystery by writer Matthew Erman and artist Lisa Sterle caught my interest with the cover, but the first issue is what hooked me.

I must admit, I was very intrigued for this book ever since I saw it in the advance solicits. Something about that cover and the blurb on the book made me want to find out more. So after pre-ordering it, I sought out a black and white, small book of the Green Monk, which was a very cool, one panel […]
Last year, the controversial motor-mouthed rapper Eminem made his return with Revival, an album that didn’t make the impact his previous releases have in the past. Personally, I thought it was really good, just a departure from the fiery, battle rap emcee I have followed since The Slim Shady LP. Well, this past week, Eminem shocked the world with a […]
