GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY [Vol. 2 Movie/Telltale Series Game/All-New Comic Review]: EGOs.

The second volume of James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy saga has far brighter, funner and scintillating moments than his first go-around, only "suffering" from some minor issues in pace and tone. That said, The Living Planet named Ego is truly a sight of 70s-psychedelia to behold, thanks to a knock 'em dead performance by …

THE WILD STORM [Special Ongoing Series Review]: Take Two.

Few opportunities arise in life that allow one a do-over. Not a do-over so much as a “Take 2”, more to the point. Like Clapton with Layla.

BATMAN / MONSTERS UNLEASHED / PLASTIC / THE GREATEST ADVENTURE [Reviews]: I Always Feel Like…

For the record, I'm super behind on all things comic book related. I haven't even had the chance to read last year's DC Comics: Rebirth #1 Special that set the stage for "The Button Part 1", which is nearly half a year old at this point. But I can tell you that the tease that …

X-MEN – BLUE & GOLD / WEAPON X / OLD MAN LOGAN / HAL JORDAN / BLACK PANTHER [Reviews]: “Patience isn’t my strongest suit.”

With X-Men Gold, we witness a return to formula of sorts within the X-Men universe. A, sort of, classic roster (Kitty Pryde, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Old Man Logan, Storm, and Rachel Grey), a public thats fearful of the “threat” of mutantkind, and a softball game in typical fashion all harken back to the days of Chris …
