Or wherein your author gets emotional. My mom died when I was 9 and those (what feels like) eons ago, people weren’t as quick to get therapy, or talk about their emotions as much. Or maybe it was just my family. When my new life with my dad started so did one of the greatest […]

TV Review: Arrow Season 3
January 22, 2021With this season the battle in Oliver Queen over whether he is a terrible person and dangerous to everyone around him or not peaks and crashes. As a romance buds between Oliver and my absolutely favorite character, Felicity Smoak, builds, so does Oliver’s survivor’s guilt. No wonder Felicity gets upset because certainly such thoughts haven’t […]
TV Review: Arrow Season 2
January 15, 2021Many writers have focused on the conflict between Green Arrow, the vigilante, and Oliver Queen, the wealthy businessman in the comics and in commentary on the legacy of Green Arrow. In this season of Arrow writers wholly embrace this conflict. Oliver is clearly no longer the Oliver everyone knew before the island. Like many people […]
T.V. Review: Arrow season 1
February 8, 2020As far as the DC tv-verse goes this is the one that launched them all. Unlike the MCU (in which all the shows and movies are connected) DC chose to establish separate cannons for their movie, t.v. shows, and comics. Arrow sparked off DC’s t.v. domination and in the first season it’s hard not to […]
T.V. Review: Lucifer season 2
October 26, 2019Another of the best things about this series is the stability of quality. In season two Lucifer adds in new characters, Charlotte Richards (being possessed by the exiled goddess of all creation) and Ella (an off-beat forensic scientist) who both immediately become entangled with the establish crew. As Lucifer and Amenadiel try to protect the […]

Review: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur volume 3 The Smartest There Is
February 19, 2019When Moon Girl solves a puzzle built by Bruce Banner that was previously unsolvable the super hero world is rocked. Lunella takes this as proof that no one was giving her enough credit. (But she already knew that.)

Review: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur v 2 Cosmic Cooties
February 12, 2019In the vein of Ms. Marvel, this comic is aimed at a slightly younger audience. (Honestly, this is what Teen Titan Go could be.) Lunella is a young girl gifted not just with Inhuman genetics, but also with a blistering level of intelligence. And a pet T-rex from another dimension. In this volume, Lunella struggles […]
Astonishing X-Men v.1: Gifted
January 16, 2019A new class is starting at Xavier’s Institute, lead by Hank McCoy (Beast), Scott Summers (Jerk, I mean, Cyclops), Emma Frost (ex-villain), and Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat). Kitty is conflicted about the class and working with a major bad guy she grew up with, Emma. But if there is anything Emma wants to do it’s helping […]
I haven’t read a lot of Wonder Woman before. DC and Justice League always struck me as a major boy’s club, which typically played in line with normal gender roles I learned growing up. I had Wonder Woman underoos, but never really investigated who the character was outside of the token female sidekick to Batman […]
