Recently I found myself pondering the current situation with the X-Men Johnathan Hickman relaunch. The X-Men have been a branch of the comics universe that I have always enjoyed, but for far, far too long–since the late 2000’s–I have found them to be impenetrable. The creative teams change too often, […]
Not BAMF
Stew’s Reviews: The Crow
This week’s article is a special Requests & Dedications edition, as the book was recommended by 411mania user SonoftheMountain! I have had a few of these over time. Power Girl was a request. Cerebus was nominated to me. Moon Knight was done on a suggestion. If someone throws an idea […]
Deep Murder: A Movie Review
“Go try to be funny nowadays with this woke culture… There were articles written about why comedies don’t work anymore — I’ll tell you why, because all the fucking funny guys are like, ‘Fuck this shit, because I don’t want to offend you.’” -Todd Phillips, an idiot, to Vanity Fair, […]
Stew’s Top Ten Flicks of the 2010’s!
Sure, maybe this isn’t thematic for November, BUT it dawned on me that we are nearing not just the end of the year, but the end of the DECADE! The 2010’s are rapidly leaving us, and who knows what the 2020’s have in mind? Depending on whether you say “Twenty-twenties” […]
Stew’s Reviews: Morbius, The Living Vampire
I loved the 90’s for comic books. EVERY character had a book. It was amazing. And by god, when it came to Marvel, I bought almost all of them. Darkhawk. Sleepwalker. Speedball. Nightwatch. Thunderstrike. Wasn’t there… didn’t FOOLKILLER have his own book for a sneeze? And Deathlok? I don’t care […]
Terminator: Dark Fate Review
I had given up on Terminator flicks a long time ago. The last Terminator movie I saw was the third entry in the series. I never bothered with Salvation of Genisys because they both looked pretty terrible, and it seemed as though the franchise was just churning out properties to […]
Stew’s Reviews: Secret Empire
Let’s be honest. You’ve already seen the book that I am reviewing and the score I’ve given it, so you’re already thinking “Explain yourself, Stew!”. So I won’t meander on too much here; let’s just get to it. TITLE: Secret Empire Writer and Artist: Nick Spencer and, like, 38 artists. […]
AEW Full Gear Live Review
My track record of attending pro wrestling pay-per-views is… not great. Prior to this past weekend, the only such shows I have attended have been, in total, SummerSlam 1995, Roadblock: End of The Line (2016), and Extreme Rules 2018. Not exactly a murderer’s row of great cards. Two shows that […]
The Results of the First Ever GotS Survey… And What They Mean For YOU!
Recently, I was bored. My boredom usually manifests itself as finding something in my house to snack on that I don’t need to snack on while I watch wrestling videos on YouTube or play Pokemon cards online. (Hey! Did you know I barely ever play Pokemon cards anymore? Whew, that […]
Stew’s Reviews: Secret Identity
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned more and more about how much I actually really like the character of Superman. For the vast majority of my comic book reading life, I have viewed the big blue boy scout as the apotheosis of boring comic characters. Too powerful, too plain, too […]
Stew’s Reviews: Monstress
What I have discovered about myself is that I have a very love/hate relationship with independent comic books. The ones that I enjoyed in the last few years, I have tended to love. Even when I have only read the first trade or two so far, I have found titles […]
Stew Ranks The Halloween Series!
The original Halloween movie is very sneakily probably the movie I have seen more than any other. It seems weird, but I watched it a lot as a kid, and even as an adult I watch it with some regularity during the Halloween season. So usually at least once more […]
