Comic Book Review – Superman: Rebirth Deluxe Edition Book 1
Ricky Church reviews Superman: Rebirth Deluxe Edition Book 1…Its an easy argument to say Superman has had a tough time in comics in the last few years. DC’s New 52 reboot was, many fans felt, contrary to many of the core characteristics and ideals of Superman in his line of comics. Gone was his marriage […]
Comic Book Review – Mystik U #1
Ricky Church reviews Mystik U #1…While the DC Universe is filled with colourful superheroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and the rest of the Justice League that save the world and fight a ton of supervillains, it is also filled with quite a few magical heroes who fight demons and other magical foes. They haven’t […]

Marvel’s The Gifted Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘outfoX’
Rachel Bellwoar reviews the ninth episode of Marvel’s The Gifted…Maybe The Gifted thought it owed viewers time to digest everything that came out during “threat of eXtinction,” but “outfoX” is an episode that feels like it’s missing plot to fill the hour. Stuck in an unfortunate seat filler point in the season anyway, what with the events of […]

Video Game Review – The End is Nigh on Nintendo Switch
Shaun Munro reviews The End is Nigh on Nintendo Switch…The End is Nigh is the latest brutally difficult 2D platformer co-developed by Super Meat Boy‘s Edmund McMillen, and while at first it might give off the whiff of a hastily churned-out rehash, this deliriously challenging game is a fiendishly, infuriatingly addictive romp on its own merits, and […]
The Orville Season 1 Episode 11 Review – ‘New Dimensions’
Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of The Orville…This could be the episode season one is remembered for. Discussions about quantum physics, landmark publications from the 1880s and dramatic tension mixed with measured humour define episode eleven. Bridge side banter and sight gags are present and correct but New Dimensions deals with more intellectual subject […]
