Ghost Rider by Daniel Way, Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira – review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsSeptember 13, 20200Comments

Say what you will, but Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira are probably among the best (if not THE best) artists who bring out the best in the Spirit of Vengeance - probably second only to Clayton Crain. Artistic duties aside, this volume is probably the last truly and genuinely decent run the Spirit…

Justice review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsSeptember 9, 20200Comments

Justice by Alex Ross, Jim Krueger and Doug Braithwaite accomplishes the feat of paying tribute to a number of iconic DC stories - from Green Lantern becoming Parallax, to Crisis on Infinite Earths, to the Death of A Prince storyline from Aquaman and many others - and knits them into a beautifully-illustrated, quasi-cohesive narratives in…

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series finale review By James Aquilina

Reviews, TelevisionAugust 27, 20200Comments

I’ve been with this series since its beginning, through its highs and lows, and the seventh (and sadly, final) season closed the circle quite well. This was basically a “S.H.I.E.L.D.’s greatest hits” with some humorous moments, amazing set pieces, and twists that I didn’t see coming (including one that made me re-evaluate my opinion on…

Stargirl Season 1 review By James Aquilina

Reviews, TelevisionAugust 27, 20200Comments

Stargirl’s first season is a shining example of a female superhero series done right! The villains were complex and layered, it didn’t devolve into a teenage soap-opera as I thought it would and the character development was handled quite well! The show’s accurate to its source material and actually respects the legacy left behind by…

Green Lantern : Earth One – Vol 1

Comics, ReviewsAugust 23, 20200Comments

The Earth One initiative by DC Comics is a revamp of familiar characters taking them back to their basic concept and rebuilding them from the ground up. Oftentimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Green Lantern: Earth One is one of the former. As a long time Green Lantern fan, I must admit I was rather…

Magneto: Testament review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsAugust 21, 20200Comments

If you have grown up with the X-Men as I did, you probably know what an overwhelming force of nature Magneto is and what a complex villain he makes. I would dare say that he is, in fact, my favorite villain, period, thanks to his very understandable motives especially by way of his origins largely…
