by

Villordsutch reviews Star Trek: Discovery – Aftermath #3… And so we come to the end of this brief three-issue Discovery/Pike Era Enterprise jaunt from Mike Johnson and Kirsten Beyer.   Here’s hoping that IDW have seen enough of an interest to commission more adventures of Captain Pike, bringing them into their ongoing Star Trek library.  […]

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 Flash Season 6 Episode 7 Review – ‘The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1’

by

Jessie Robertson reviews the seventh episode of The Flash season 6… Tonight was a bottle episode, meaning not much outwardly takes place, it’s all internal and it was a home run.
