Ricky Church reviews Optimus Prime #16… Even though Optimus Prime #16 is a relatively quiet issue, things are never quite dull on Cybertron. The feared and mythical Onyx Prime has returned to the planet in ‘The Falling Part 2’, but rather than outright attacking it the majority of the issue features a parlay between him, Optimus, Windblade […]

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5 Episode 11 Review – ‘All the Comforts of Home’
Danny Hale reviews the eleventh episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5… It’s been quite the wait to finally see our team return to Earth and to their original time and while All the Comforts of Home certainly saw our characters escape their Kree prison it also did a great job of immediately setting […]
Arrow Season 6 Episode 14 Review – ‘Collision Course’
Jessie Robertson reviews the fourteenth episode of Arrow season 6… A friend asked me the other day if I was still keeping up with the DC TV shows; I said of course, but man, is it becoming a chore. Arrow is a show that typically takes 2 or 3 steps forward, then 2 steps back. […]
Gotham Season 4 Episode 12 Review – ‘Pieces of a Broken Mirror’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Gotham season 4… Bombs in biplanes, fist fights in alleyways and physicians controlling gangland turf are just a few of the things which Gotham throws up this week. There are rifts dividing enemies and friends alike as some long standing characters battle their inner demons. As we attempt […]
Comic Book Review – Optimus Prime Annual 2018
Ricky Church reviews Optimus Prime Annual 2018… Its funny that considering this issue is the special annual for IDW’s Optimus Prime series, the title hero is only featured in one or two quick panels at the very beginning. The rest of the issue is devoted to Starscream and Thundercracker, taking place in between the final issues of Tranformers: […]
Star Wars Rebels Season 4 Episodes 12 and 13 Review – ‘Wolves and a Door’ and ‘World Between Worlds’
Chris Cooper reviews the twelfth and thirteenth episodes of Star Wars Rebels season 4… Note – I’d love to steer clear of it, but this review is going to contain pretty hefty spoilers. This late in the game it’s nigh-on impossible to talk about the episode without spoiling something. I’d rather give you some fully fledged thoughts […]
Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 14 Review – ‘Potato Salad, a Broomstick, and Dad’s Whiskey’
Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Young Sheldon… Back after an enforced hiatus Young Sheldon carries on giving us gentle character progression, feel good moments of circumstantial humour and subtle Big Bang references. In the main episode fourteen is effectively engaging whilst attempting to broaden Mary Cooper’s impact. Zoe Perry has done a sterling […]
Review – Black Panther: The Official Movie Special
Martin Carr reviews Black Panther: The Official Movie Special… Movie compendium pieces, film tie-ins and cinematic annuals are in the realm of coffee table talking points for most. Oversized, glossy, packed with pictures and minimal information. Marvel Studios who seem to be taking over the world when it comes to breaking new ground across the board, […]
