The first Nintendo Direct of 2019 seems to have set the stage for the first half of the year nicely, shifting the focus entirely towards upcoming games for the wildly popular Switch, with not a single mention of the aging-yet-still-living 3DS platform.

Comic Book Review – Hardcore #1
Allen Christian reviews Hardcore #1… Hardcore could potentially be one of the most inventive comics to ever be emblazoned with such a boring name. Probably not the most rousing way to start off a review for a book that I intend to say several good things about, but I think it’s important to note that […]
Comic Book Review – Fantastic Four #4
Allen Christian reviews Fantastic Four #4… Two weeks ago, Fantastic Four #3 released late. Little has been said about the delay, but it’s fair to assume that the departure of artist Sara Pichelli might have been somewhat related.
