Chris Miller and Phil Lord team up once again, with the same dynamism of their two undercover characters, to bring us the most entertaining sequel to a rebooted 80’s television show ever conceived. In what is perhaps the most self-referential film of 2014, 22 Jump Street recognizes the absurdity of its predecessor’s success, and seems […]
When horror series Wytches began with a creepy and promising issue, it raised up a number of questions, like all good horror stories should. In Wytches #2, we get a few answers but even more questions. This issue extends and develops the eerie vibe that writer Scott Snyder and artist Jock developed in the initial […]
I’m exploring a dark and damp cave. My flashlight is barely providing me any light. Finally after climbing out of the cave I see sunlight. Outside I can see trees and green grass. I sprint out of the cave and run right into a rhino. He lets out a loud and heavy grunt and then […]
I was late to The Hunger Games book series when the first novel came out back in 2008. I bought it, never read it, had it passed around my circle of friends, and finally got to it a year or so out from the first film being made. It was read in a weekend. The […]

New Releases: 22 Jump Street – (Blu-ray, DVD and Instant) Sin City – A Dame […]
I’ll waste no time in saying it: The Master Chief Collection is easily the most impressive assemblage of content I’ve encountered in gaming. The hours of classic gameplay on display and the way 343 have packaged it altogether is going to be hard to resist for even those who haven’t been particularly interested in the Halo franchise before. Unfortunately, the […]
In The Fade Out #3, writer Ed Brubaker and illustrator Sean Phillips shift gears in an unexpected way. Most of the first two issues of the series so far have been showing the insider world of a Hollywood movie production during the 1940’s while also setting up a mystery involving the murder of rising actress […]
It is Elsa’s birthday week on the latest episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show, and while Miss Mars would like to commemorate her special occasion being doted on and celebrated, the troupe isn’t really feeling it. What starts off as a potentially promising and pleasant week for Elsa quickly devolves into a catastrophic and […]
