TV Review – DC Universe’s Harley Quinn Animated Series

by

EJ Moreno reviews DC Universe’s Harley Quinn animated series… DC Universe has something special on their hands with their new animated series, Harley Quinn. The series feels like a throwback to their best times in animation (Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited) but still comes off like a fresh, new thing. The only thing […]

His Dark Materials Series 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘Armour’

Comic Book Review – Star Trek: Picard – Countdown #1

by

Villordsutch reviews Star Trek: Picard – Countdown #1… It’s bizarre to think that a decade ago Mike Johnson, along with Tim Jones, put pen to paper and wrote Star Trek: Countdown.  In doing so they ignired the fuse – which admittedly has burnt slowly – but has now bloomed with Star Trek: Picard – Countdown, […]
