Review by Marouska Montebello When discussing Golden Age comics, horror is seldom the first genre that comes to mind. While DC and Marvel undeniably played pivotal roles in popularizing comic book literature, it's important to recognize that a variety of other publishing houses also sought to carve out their own distinctive identities within the industry.…

Book Review by Marouska Montebello As I delved into this book, I found myself grappling with a sense of turmoil. The story is undeniably experimental, and I must commend the authors Alexia Xuereb Diacono, Antonella J. Abela, Joseph Sultana, Sonic J. Aquilina, and Tanya Cilia for their efforts in tackling such a challenging task. It…

Reviżjoni tal-ktieb bil- Malti ta' Marouska Montebello Shadow Woods ta' Roberta Bajada huwa vjaġġ inkredibbli li ħadni dawra fuq roller-coaster profondament emozzjonali. L-istorja ta’ Daniel, rikka b’misteru u tifkiriet tat-tfulija. Ix-xenqa nostalġika tiegħu għall-possedimenti materjali laqtet korda, u stajt inħoss l-emozzjonijiet tiegħu hekk kif ġera lura lejn il-passat tiegħu biex jikxef il-verità. Fil-fatt ma tobsorx,…

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Review

GNLM, ReviewsJune 14, 20240Comments

Review by Jan Mangion It's Furiosa, not Furiousa! George Miller may be 79 years old but that's not stopping him from making more Mad Max movies. He returns to this universe, nine years after his last entry, Fury Road (2015) to direct Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. A prequel to the sensational Fury Road, this is…

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) Retro Review

2015, GNLM, ReviewsMay 28, 20240Comments

Review by Jan Mangion Beautiful Chaos! Furiosa is just around the corner and this is the perfect time to revisit George Miller's Australian Apocalyptic wasteland. I could have gone with either one of the original trilogy but it is a lovely day for the adrenaline-fueled masterpiece that is Mad Max: Fury Road from 2015. In a…

GNLM, ReviewsMay 20, 20240Comments

Review by Jan Mangion A new ape is in town! Another Planet of the Apes movie may have not been something I or perhaps anyone necessarily needed, especially with how successfully things ended seven years ago in Matt Reeve's War for the Planet of the Apes, but after seeing what Wes Ball has…

Avengers: Nights of Wundagore review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsJuly 14, 20210Comments

The classic tale "Nights of Wundagore" by John Byrne, David Michelinie, Mark Gruenwald and Steven Grant is a strange read in Avengers history, in that it exists between an approach of treating the Avengers as an organisation of like-minded individuals while also humanising them in ways that are believable and not too over simplistic. The…
