What Went Wrong: Revisiting Neil Marshall’s ‘Hellboy’
Seeing as the world has temporarily gone on pause for the most part as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve been finding ways to keep busy at home.

Giant Sized X-Men: Jean Grey + Emma Frost #1 Comic Review

‘Hunters’ Season 1 Advanced Review
*Amazon was happy to share the first five episodes of Hunters with Talkies Network, so remember there is more to the story than what I’m reviewing in this article. Whether it be in a fictional alternate history or real life, the world can’t seem to rid itself of Nazis – or at least people who ...
‘Iron Man 2020 #1’ Comic Review
I must confess to not being the biggest fan of Dan Slott’s Iron Man run, which I find to be a meandering and generic take on Marvel’s armored avenger. However, Iron Man 2020 could be an opportunity for Slott’s run on the character to go down in comics history — that is if the creative ...
‘The Witcher’ Season 1 Advanced Review
*I will preface this review with the following statement: I have never read or played any form of media related to The Witcher series prior to watching Netflix’s adaptation of the popular franchise. That is the context under which I am reviewing the first season of Netflix’s The Witcher. This is an advanced review based ...
