TV Review – Dickinson

by

EJ Moreno reviews Dickinson… Over the first three episodes of Dickinson, the show left me feeling more puzzled than most viewings in recent memory. A show that looks this good, with this strong of a cast and a subject matter that I enjoy? It should feel like a slamdunk, but each episode pushed me further […]

Comic Book Review – Copra #1

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews Copra #1… Why start in the middle if you can start at the beginning? Most of the time I’d say that was a rhetorical question, and the first five volumes of Copra (which were originally self-published by series creator, Michel Fiffe) are available now from Image Comics, but this is where having […]

by

Red Stewart reviews the third episode of Black Lightning season 3… With all my ranting and raving over the last 2.5 seasons, I don’t think I’ve ever extensively talked about Bill Duke’s performance as Agent Odell. Duke himself is an underrated character actor, having done numerous roles in the action and comedy genres over the […]

Video Game Review – WWE 2K20

by

Shaun Munro reviews WWE 2K20… The WWE 2K franchise has never been known for its consistency, yet with last year’s 2K19 proving a distinct step up from the last few entries, there was hope that 2K20 would deliver further incremental improvements. But this year’s entry unfortunately marks the sudden departure of series mainstay developer Yuke’s, leaving […]
