Chaos War review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsJune 19, 20200Comments

Today's recommendation is simply out of pure fun. Absurd, self-referential soundeffects? Check. Humor innate to over-the-top character dynamics? Check. Action that is so out there that simply would not be possible without blowing up the planet? Check. Corgeous artwork and new reader friendly narrative? Just read Greg Pak, Khoi Pham and Fred Van Lente's Chaos…

Mike Grell’s Green Arrow review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsJune 19, 20200Comments

I would be lying through my teeth if I ever ignored the fact that there is an alarming similarity between Batman and Green Arrow. In fact, it is not a secret at all that Mort Weisinger deliberately created him as a pastiche of Robin Hood and the basic idea of Batman - a millionaire vigilante…

George Perez’s Wonder Woman review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsJune 19, 20200Comments

Most of DC's headliners are all about duality. Many accuse them of being unrelatable - which I completely disagree with. Wonder Woman is a massively underrated character; of all characters of DC's pantheon, I identify with her chiefly because she originates from an island that has a largely suspicious relationship with the world beyond its…

Green Lantern – The Sinestro Corps War review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsJune 19, 20200Comments

The Green Lantern is my absolute favorite character, tied with the Flash, and the credit for both being on top comes to the same author, Geoff Johns. Johns has a way of reaching into any character whatsoever and bringing out what makes them work to the forefront, rebuilding their world the ground up in a…

X-Men: Dark Phoenix

Movies, ReviewsSeptember 23, 20190Comments

It is time to bid farewell to Fox s version of the merry mutants and while it was a mostly fun ride - with a few major exceptions thrown for good measure - I cannot in good conscience throw this one among them as other critics did. X-Men: Dark Phoenix is the last ride of…

A retrospective to Fox’s X-Men: The original Trilogy by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsAugust 21, 20190Comments

Despite many knowing me as a major Flash and DC aficionado, my love for all things comics started with Marvel, and, in fact, the X-Men. In fact, like most typical child of the 90’s raised by TV, I was fascinated by their cartoon incarnation heavily inspired what I soon after got to know as the…
