Comic Book Review: Outsiders #6

Get ready for a game-changing issue as Outsiders goes meta! Like conceptually meta and meta-human meta. From writers Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly, Artist Robert Carey, Colorist Valentina Taddeo, and Letterer Rom Napolitano comes Outsiders #6 from DC (now available at your local comic store).

Advance Review: Geiger #1 from Ghost Machine

The creative team behind Geiger presents a brave new post-apocalyptic world for us to explore. While there are some previous adventures that might add greater context to the story of “The Glowing Man”, the engaging setup and character choices will surely catch the attention of new readers.

Advance Review: Rook: Exodus #1 from Ghost Machine

Rook: Exodus presents readers with a unique and engaging sci-fi story. This character definitely caught my attention in the Ghost Machine #1 teaser and the first installment in his story did not disappoint.

Advance Review: Redcoat #1 from Ghost Machine

Creators Geoff Johns & Bryan Hitch, Inkers Bryan Hitch & Andrew Currie, Colorist Brad Anderson, and Letterer Rob Leigh present Redcoat #1. There is a sense of wonder in this book that makes it an absolute joy to read, and I can’t wait to explore more of this world. 

Comic Book Review: Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #5

The big battle has arrived: The Green Lantern versus The Red Lantern in the penultimate issue of Alan Scott’s epic mini-series! From Writer Tim Sheridan, Artist Cian Tormey, Colorists Matt Herms and Hi-Fi, and Letterer Lucas Gattoni comes one of my favorite Green Lantern stories…ever!?

Advance Review: Invincible: Season 2, Part 2 (MINOR SPOILERS)

Fear not fans – Invincible has returned for Season 2, Part 2 from Skybound Entertainment and Prime Video! Mark Grayson must come to terms with the harrowing battle on Thraxa, and his world will never be the same. ComicsOnline had the pleasure of viewing the final four episodes of Season 2, so minor spoilers ahead.

Comic Book Review: Sons of Star Trek #1

“Q Junior has transported the Sons of Star Trek to an alternate timeline where his dear “Aunt Kathy” never murdered Tuvix, Dukat never murdered Jadzia Dax, and Beckett Mariner never murdered her career.” 4.5/5 -Kevin Gaussoin, ComicsOnline

Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda 4

Thinking about the Kung Fu Panda series has always made me smile. The action is fun, the humor is good, and it lampoons the martial arts obsession pushed onto modern kids by mainstream media. The exceptional part is that it explores important themes like perseverance, body shaming, self-authenticity, and the power of positive thought. Every villain is consumed by insecurity and pride, and their defeat is always heralded by a failure to rise above these unworthy but very human feelings. Kung Fu Panda 4 comes off a bit ham-handed at the start, but much like Cars 3, it is all about aging gracefully and passing the torch.

Movie Review: Dune: Part 2

When I went in to watch Dune: Part 2, I’d already received a taste of what Denis Villeneuve was capable of. I had high expectations because the previous movie had shown me he *could* bring the Dune series to life in all its nuanced complexity. But I was still leery as to whether or not he did. I didn’t want to be disappointed.  

That said, nothing is disappointing about Dune: Part 2. It is a perfect movie.

Comic Book Review: Rare Flavours #4

“From soup to nuts, Rare Flavours is devilishly delicious. Ram V and Filipe Andrade continue to cook up a tale worthy of Gaiman or Bourdain. ComicsOnline gives Rare Flavours #4 four out of five deceptively simple roadside diversions.” -Kevin Gaussoin

Comic Book Review: What If? Venom #1

“She met him at church. He swept her right off her feet. He was smooth, dark, and had a long tongue he kept her wrapped around. How could our heroine resist?” 4.5/5 -Zoe Gaussoin, ComicsOnline
