by

Comic Book Review – Fantastic Four #4

Little has been said about the delay, but it’s fair to assume that the departure of artist Sara Pichelli might have been somewhat related.

Black Lightning Season 2 Episode 7 Review – ‘The Book of Blood: Chapter Three: The Sange’

by

Red Stewart reviews the seventh episode of Black Lightning season 2… One of the things I’ve been hearing about Aquaman, based on early social media reactions, is that it is reportedly very zany, full of balls-to-the-wall imagery, action, and plot threads. As a comic book fan, this is nothing short of fantastic to hear. But as […]
