The Boy and the Heron
@GhibliUSA’s #TheBoyandtheHeron is a masterwork in sound and animation, a deeply thematic yet hands-off film that asks more of the audience than any Ghibli film has before in terms of their analytical maturity.

.@EricaSchultz42 & Sergio Fernandez Dávila have crafted a tentpole tie-in with Daredevil: Gang War #1, an absolutely essential read for those with any interest in the event while also being a great #Elektra story in and of itself. #MarvelComics #Daredevil
DetailsMiles Morales: Spider-Man #13
As #GangWar rages on, #MilesMorales finds himself caught between new allies & old enemies, the book continues to dodge the event fatigue & continue to push the title’s mains tory forward. @yayforzig @BryanValenza @FredVice_art #SpiderMan #MarvelComics
DetailsDark X-Men #5
is a somewhat disappointing finale to an otherwise brilliant story. With an underlying acceptance on the repeated cycles of human nature, a sixth issue might have been needed to fully hit the mark. #XMen @steve_foxe @scharf_jonas #MarvelComics

DetailsAmazing Spider-Man #39
Amazing Spider-Man #39 falls further into feeling like a cheap cash grab, its story riddled with so many odd holes and lackluster moments that it’s a shame something this unfinished is being billed as a top event for #MarvelComics. #SpiderMan #GangWar
DetailsGodzilla: Minus One is an incredible work of cinema, a ringing triumph for the power of genre filmmaking and the artistry of storytelling that dares to be something equal parts cunning historical commentary and an over-the-top monster movie.

DetailsAs criticisms surrounding subversion begin to envelop the series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off’s decision to fundamentally take the story in a new direction is nothing short of genius. Its attempts at pseudo-sequelization are intelligent and true to the original series’ heart.
DetailsThe Amazing Spider-Man Gang War: First Strike #1
There is a lot here that, in concept, should make for an explosive and rich event worthy of Marvel’s biggest hero, but it’s commitment to B-Tier villains, second string art, and a lack of proper build up leaves the start to Gang War an unmitigated yawn.
