V for Vendetta (2005) - Alan Moore kind of justified for hating this but it’s still really good.

A ★★★★ review of V for Vendetta (2005)
I write this review knowing that praising this film in the wrong circles may in fact catch the eye of a certain wizard who has a completely valid ire at adaptation of his works. His complaints about V...

Dare You by: Lisa McMullin: Last one set on the Powell Estate because it’s so obvious these first three were meant to be a themed box set. The setting and dealing with the relationships between Rose and Jackie post Father’s Day there is a tendency for this story to feel a little similar to Snare.

Christmas: Presents of Mind by: Mark Wright: This one’s a Smith and Sullivan adventure and is honestly just fine. It’s very much in the spirit of the new series Christmas specials so it’s very upbeat and full of festive cheer. The cast is small, Sadie Miller, Christopher Naylor, and Annette

Christmas: Legacy of Blood by: Julian Richards: The second story in the Christmas anthology is a tribute to Jago & Litefoot led by Lisa Bowerman as Ellie Higson. It’s a story that delves a little closer into the horror aspects of the holiday, it’s all about vampires and you definitely should have

Matt Fraction is making decisions that I particularly love in this month’s #Batman but I do hope each issue remains new reader friendly.

A ★★½ review of Doctor Who: The Sontaran Experiment (1975)
The Sontaran Experiment is perfectly okay as a serial. It runs about 50 minutes and doesn’t actually reveal the Sontaran Styre until the cliffhanger, though at least the experiments are there. The b...

This week's #StarTrek The Next Generation is a script that has some interesting ideas but they're all underdeveloped and the conclusion has Riker basically do a murder. This is The Vengeance Factor:

We’re covering the Thor comics before the outrage machine took over and made this run infamous. Also anti-capitalism and a wereminotaur. Get your questions in below because this arc will make me sound super dumb.
TONIGHT: @newt5996.bsky.social and I are recording the next episode of Fresh-Faced Comics, talking about #Thor The Last Days of Midgard!
Send any questions or comments below and we'll discuss them on the podcast! :)

Look I try to be analytical but Snyder and Williamson are doing a dumb tournament arc and it’s way too fun.

It’s very weird that in a very aimless miniseries there’s this incredibly strong two issue subplot about Jason Todd as Robin.
As ever, Jason Todd did nothing wrong.
