Comic Book Review – Autumnlands #7
Zeb Larson reviews Autumnlands #7… NEW STORY ARC. The second arc begins. Wounded and lost, our heroes seek safety, but find…something bizarre. After a long (too long, but oh well) hiatus, Autumnlands is finally back and in fine form. After the cliffhanger that we ended on in the sixth issue, we’re now following two different […]

Ash vs. Evil Dead Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘Books from Beyond’
Robert Kojder reviews the third episode of Ash vs. Evil Dead… The next question on the mind of both longtime Evil Dead fans and newcomers to the series (one week after being granted proof that the show can function properly without Sam Raimi writing or directing), was simply one regarding repetition.

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘Fight or Flight’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Supergirl… It’s so much easier to write a bad review. For anyone who reads but never writes them they are often fun, scathing and without mercy. Reason being that the reviewer has something to get their collective teeth into. Issues arise when you actually like the show but […]
Gotham Season 2 Episode 8 Review – ‘Tonight’s The Night’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Gotham season 2… Barbara Gordon has been ill served of late. Her particular brand of crazy has been side lined by the whip wielding, bodice filling Tabitha Galavan. All sass and sado-masochism wrapped up in a brothel madam demeanour. In other words Jessica Lucas has been a distraction. […]
