I really wanted to love this episode. Really. After all, Felicity is pretty much my favorite character on Arrow. But “The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak” just didn’t work for me on a number of levels. The plot of the episode was predictable and offered almost nothing in the way of surprises (save for the […]
If tension equals rain, then the water fiercely poured all over this episode. Penguin’s Umbrella is fit to be the season finale but it is only the seventh episode of Gotham. Filled with action, tension and misdirection this week’s episode hit the climax of the whole season. While certain actions were exaggerated, the unique characters […]
Southern Bastards, the crime series set in the American south from writer Jason Aaron and illustrator Jason Latour, is back after a shocking issue #4 and a short break. The first four issues of the series followed Earl Tubb as he comes back to Craw County, where he grew up and his late father is […]
In a 22-episode season, its inevitable that some episodes just won’t crackle with as much energy as others. And last night’s Arrow was the perfect example of that. It was a perfectly fine episode, but it was much more focused on setting up the show’s future conflict than with solving anything in the here and […]
Rick Remender is currently writing Marvel’s big event, Avengers & X-Men: AXIS (along with other titles for Marvel), but he’s also been producing creator-owned stuff on Image Comics for a while. Black Science, Deadly Class, and the new-ish LOW are pretty different from his Marvel work, but occasionally branch into similar fantastical ideas. To me, […]
I’m perfectly willing to allow a show like Arrow to let loose and focus more on action and adventure every few episodes or so. After all, with characters like Oliver, Roy, and Diggle in your arsenal, it would be a shame to waste their excellent teamwork and joint fighting skills by only ever sending Oliver […]
Though the DC Cinematic Universe is in its infancy Warner Brothers have big plans for the franchise and want four A-List actors to star in one of their lesser know properties, Suicide Squad. Deadline broke the news that Warner Brothers are in talks with Will Smith, Tom Hardy and The Wolf of Wall Street star […]
The second episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show introduces us to a couple of new additions to the sideshow troupe and intensifies the friction between the town of Jupiter and its new residents. While things aren’t as harmonious as they could be within the troupe, Dandy and Twisty initiate what could be the beginning […]
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years, you’re well aware that we are living in the age of the superhero movie. Better yet, we’re living in the age of the live-action large team superhero movie, with the X-Men fully rebooted, the Avengers getting ready for their second attempt at […]
The 21st century has developed into a great time for comic book movies, especially for Marvel Comics’ characters and Batman. Within the past few years, television has begun catching up, too. After rocky starts, Arrow and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have turned into good shows. This week marks the debut of the new series The Flash, […]
