All right. After a ludicrously cursed attempt last year, I am back to trying to move. I never would have imagined that selling one house and buying another would be such a chore as it was in 2019! We got strung along for four months before our buyer ended up […]

Stew’s Reviews: Spider-Geddon
As I write this, I am about a week removed from having a surprise appendectomy. It’s weird how your body can just turn on you. I’m not here to say it’s a terrible thing compared to what a lot of people go through, but waking up at 3am because you […]
Stew’s Reviews: Bitch Planet
I’m probably napping too much these days. It’s not for lack of having things to do. I have fallen very far off of my pace on these articles. I used to have a cache of 15-20 ready at given time, but that’s down to a little more than five. I […]
Stew’s Reviews: Batman – Cataclysm
I recently ranked 63 comics I reviewed in the last two years against each other for an anniversary celebration to see where they all fit against one another. It was… a lot of work. Digging through old material to remember what books were involved, debating internally as to how they stack up […]
Stew’s Reviews: Poison Ivy & Harley Quinn
Our podcast got blocked on Twitter by Dan Slott! This isn’t something I take any pride in, so this isn’t like some kind of stupid brag. I’ve seen folks who take getting blocked by a famous person as a badge of honor, and that has never ever been our goal. […]
Stew’s Reviews: X-Tremists
There was a lull—a dark age, if you will—in comics for a lot of the very late 1990’s to the mid-2010’s. People don’t talk about it much, but it was a terrible time for the industry. There were some good products here or there, but largely, there was a substantial […]
Stew’s Reviews: Avengers Disassembled
It’s hard to believe there was a time when The Avengers were basically the also-ran’s of the Marvel Universe. I mean, the X-Books were huge ever since the late Bronze Age thanks to Claremont’s work from the late 1970’s to the early 1990’s and the establishment of Wolverine as the […]
Stew’s Reviews: Batman & The Outsiders
See, I was supposed to have the closings on my house and the house I’m buying this week, but my buyer has run into problems, so everything has been pushed back, probably about a month. In the meantime, the wife and I have already packed up almost all of our […]
Stew’s Reviews: Heroes In Crisis
What are the time parameters for spoilers? As in, at what point do you bear the burden of protecting yourself from being spoiled rather than depend on social media and society to do it for you? I always say in regards to big blockbuster movies, the limit should be until […]
Stew’s Reviews: Maus
Recently on the podcast, we covered Watchmen. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite episodes we have ever done. It’s really high quality stuff, and I think we all put in good work discussing an important, brilliant book. But as the show was wrapping up, I brought up something I remembered […]
Stew’s Reviews: Absolute Carnage
I should really be doing more modern comics stories in this series. I mean, the people deserve to know if comics that came out recently are worth their time! And I, the hero that I am, will be here to show them the truth, so that they know what to […]
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 […]
