By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor Initially set to release in July of 2020, Free Guy fell victim to the delays caused by Covid. In a way, it would have been the perfect movie to release to streaming during the lockdown; it’s the uplifting and joyous bolt of energy we all could have used. In the end, it wasn’t meant to […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor Alter Nation is a unique independent action figure line that combines animal DNA with amazing action features that are a throwback to yesteryear. Panda Mony Toy Brands has a hit on their hands with their inaugural release- this time, we look at one of the villains of the line- Sabotage. The Cybernetic soldier is extremely […]
By Jason T. SmithCreative Editor The latest wave of Hasbro’s popular Marvel Legends figures hits it out of the park in a major way. An Ursa Major way! What is being dubbed as “the Iron Man” wave fires on all cylinders, giving us seven outstanding action figures, most of whom are Iron Man related, and what I find to be […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor In 2016, the world was introduced to David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad.” Although it was a box office success, it was met with less than stellar reviews (it currently sits at 26% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a divisive fan base. It introduced the world to DC’s most bankable live-action character (Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn), featured Will […]
By Rebecca Benson and Nolan P Smith Disney is synonymous with fun for all ages. And The Jungle Cruise is just that. We went to the theaters, knowing full well that this would be a “popcorn” movie. Nothing that takes itself too seriously. And it’s Disney. Enough said. From the beginning, we were entranced, transported back into the Disneyland of […]
By Jeremiah Gagnon For today’s review, I look at Dungeons & Dragons Fell’s Five from IDW Publishing. The book opens with a human and a dwarf crashing through a door; the human is trying to describe the plan when they run right into a pack of monsters that need slaying. Khal, the dwarf, yells out a catchphrase and starts singing as he […]
By Rebecca Benson We all know the saying, Things aren’t always what they seem. And “Remember Andy Xenon?” is no exception. Brought to readers by its creators, “Remember Andy Xenon?” is an action-packed and beautifully pieced-together story. Take the first pages; for example, we find our superhero chasing–make that leaping and bounding–after his foe; that is until time catches up […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor Growing up, I loved cartoons. Heck, I still do—GI Joe, Transformers, and of course, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Fast forward to 2021, and the Transformers have a brand new animated series, GI Joe has a new live-action film, and He-Man just exploded back on the scene with Masters of the Universe: Revelation. […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor When AEW bursts onto the scene, I think every wrestling fan was excited. This brand new organization boasted some of the biggest names in wrestling. The Lucha Bros, the Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega- the list goes on. But when I watched the first battle royal I ever saw from them, I […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor Good gladiator figures are hard to come by, but thanks to XesRay Studios, we now have a line dedicated to such fighters. Combatants Fight for Glory launched in 2020 with three figures- one being the center of attention for this review. Let’s jump into battle with Medocus, also known as Reaper. The 7-inch scale figures […]
By Nolan P Smith Who doesn’t like a good horror flick? Scout Comics and their Black Caravan imprint have created an anthology that reads and feels like a drive-in matinee- with a plethora of scary short films as your main attractions. So grab some popcorn and a Dr. Pepper; it’s time for Tales Told in Technihorror. This is a well-executed, […]
By Nolan P Smith By Crom! Super7 has done it again; as a new Conan the Barbarian figure has hit the shelves, this time releasing a figure based on the iconic movie pose from the 1982 film Conan the Barbarian. When a film is 38 years old and is still having merchandise and action figures based on it, that is […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor When Canto first hit shelves, I knew it was something special. The story of a clockwork slave knight without a name or heart was an instant hit for IDW, spawning a sequel series- The Hollow Men. But the story isn’t over yet, as a third part is here with Canto III: Lionhearted. From David M. […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor Being stranded in space has to be one of the most terrifying thoughts one could imagine. No way to call home, no idea what surrounds you or inhabits the strange planets you see. That’s what happens in Bountiful Garden #1, the latest book from Mad Cave, which hits stores this September. From Ivy Noelle Weir, […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor You can’t have Darkseid without his right-hand man, can you? McFarlane Toys has brought to life the villainous Steppenwolf from the Snyder Cut of the Justice League film and done so in grand fashion. For me, the redesign of Steppenwolf for the Snyder Cut looks incredibly better than the original design, so I am glad […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor Next up on the Snyder Cut Justice League series of action figures from McFarlane Toys comes one of the film’s best parts: the black suit Superman. The Superman figure comes with a flight stand and collector card, and this figure looks fantastic. The likeness is pretty good for Henry Cavill’s Superman, and the sculpting and […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor In Chief Darkseid is. I had to say it. Darkseid is my favorite DC villain of all time. The dark lord of Apokolips has always fascinated me, even as a kid- I wanted the Super Powers Darkseid figure more than anything. I never got it, but that didn’t detour my interest in the DC villain. […]
By Nolan P Smith When you think of Profesional Wrestling in the states, you think of WWE naturally. In more recent times, you think of Impact, Ring of Honor, and AEW. But a company has been going strong for decades outside of the country, delivering fast-paced, hard-hitting matches with wrestlers that have sometimes never set foot in a WWE ring- […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor in Chief I will go ahead and lead with something I have said repeatedly: you can tell any story in the comic book medium. Anything. From superheroes to horror, romance to daring rescues, biopics to PSA’s. With TKO Studios’ latest graphic novel Djeliya, we dive into West African lore with monsters, mayhem, and destiny. From […]
By Craig Timchak The Philosophy of Venom, a collection of writings and images from around the globe and throughout the years. What I would define as the perfect summarization of Eddie Brock and his Symbiote over the last 23 years since the dynamic duo was released upon the world by Todd McFarlane and David Michelinie. With the current conclusion of […]
By Rebecca Benson TKO Studios has offered comic book readers a beautifully crafted continuation of Luvander’s journey. A journey that brings forth danger, heartache, hope, self-discovery, and friendship. Oh, and let’s not leave out dragons! Scales & Scoundrels flows from Book One to Two incredibly well. With much goings-on but I will try my best to recap without giving away […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor Friends is one of the most successful television shows in history. Even though it ended almost 20 years ago, it’s still front and center in the pop culture landscape. It was the crazy show that could, the one that nobody thought was going to be a success, and ended up launching the careers of its […]
By Daniel Schwartz I am a massive sci-fi and space fan. When I saw the latest offering from Scout Comics with a Martian farmer holding a chicken on the planet’s surface on the cover, I knew I had to check it out. And I will tell you; I am really glad that I did. Warning: Spoilers Below! Redshift tells the […]
By Jeremiah Gagnon For this review, I check out Captain Marvel V2. #3 from IDW. Our story begins with Carol Danvers A.K.A Captain Marvel waking up in her apartment. She gets up, feeds Chewy her Flerken, and meets Jessica Drew A.K.A Spider-Woman for breakfast only for their conversation to be interrupted by a small group of street thugs attempting to rob a shop. The two heroines […]
By Rebecca Benson I was so excited to learn that there would be a part 2 to the already phenomenal first installment of John Krasinski’s film “A Quiet Place.” I have to admit; I was a little slow to watch the first movie. Choosing instead to catch it in my solitude at home. And let me tell you, I wish […]
By Kevin Hoskinson In the latest entry of The Conjuring universe, the Warrens take on their most diabolical case yet. The film takes on the famous “Devil made me do it” case, the first known United States court trial where the defense used demonic possession to prove their client’s innocence. According to records, 11-year old David Glatzel was supposedly possessed […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor After playing within the confines of the DC universe of films, director Zack Snyder is back with his first original film in years. With the Netflix original film Army Of The Dead, he returns to the zombie genre that launched his film career so many years ago. His first movie was a remake of George […]
By Rebecca Benson Heartache, grief, and the macabre arise from the depths in this Southern “tale of woe.” From the creative team of Writer Adam Smith and Artist Matthew Fox and Letterer Mike Fiorentino, Archaia introduces us to “Down River People.” Still reeling from an unfortunate turn of events, Myers takes up the burden to keep his family legacy by […]
By Rebecca Benson Join me on an out-of-this-world adventure. From Mad Cave Studios, we embark on a journey in “They Fell From The Sky.” Mad Cave is set to release this series in a Trade Paperback soon! I hope readers are just as much as science fiction enthusiasts as we find our main character, Tommy, to be! Join Tommy and […]
By Nolan P Smith McFarlane Toys has been winning when it comes to impressive lineups of licensed action figures. One of the biggest licenses they landed has been the wildly popular Warhammer 40,000. When I first saw the Ultramarine Primaris Assault Intercessor, I knew I had to pick it up. So, full disclosure- I know next to nothing about Warhammer […]
