A Christmas Carol (1984 George C. Scott)
Scott’s Ebenezer is different from most, often portrayed as an older frail man, shrewd and humorless but without physical strength, but Scott’s very size lends to a quite different take on the character.
DetailsThe Secret Origin
Dark Nights: Death Metal – The Secret Origin #1 (Snyder, Johns, et al.) feels like it’s trying to cram too much into an already-overstuffed story, & despite some strong & unexpected character beats, winds up falling victim to its own lack of necessity.
DetailsArchenemy
Archenemy mixes live action with flashbacks told in simple graphic animation. The story unfolds in such a way that we are never sure until the end if Max was really from another dimension, or if he is just a crazy schizophrenic drug addict.
DetailsA Christmas Carol (1999 Patrick Stewart)
I am particularly fond of Patrick Stewart’s transformation at the end. His inability to laugh at first is both humorous, joyful and a bit sad as we see a man that has not heartily laughed in so long that his body does not know how.
DetailsSam and His Talking Gun #1
A promising beginning to a fantastic team that plays beautifully off of one another’s strengths, Sam and His Talking Gun #1 (Ferguson, @LeeMFerguson) takes a familiar premise and mixes it up with enough unique elements to keep it fresh.
DetailsStephen King’s The Stand (2020)
CBS All Access has remade the Stephen King classic The Stand, first produced in 1994 about a super flu that wipes out most of humanity setting up the ultimate struggle between good and evil.
DetailsThe Case Files of Jeweler Richard
Series review of The Case Files of Jeweler Richard. Seigi Nakata forms a close friendship with jeweler Richard Ranashinha de Vulpian. Although its story isn’t great, this series does so much to help it stand out in a crowded #anime field.

DetailsPost-Americana #1
Post-Americana #1 (@ImageComics @Skroce01 @Dragonmnky) delivers a violent, grindhouse feel in this post-cataclysmic tale of an America falling apart that strikes very close to home.
DetailsCaptain America #26
Captain America #26 (Coates, Kirk, Milla, Caramagna #Marvel) has Red Hulk!
DetailsRorschach #3
In Rorschach #3 (@TomKingTK @jfornes74 @Dragonmnky), the creative team has managed to get me invested and hopefully future issues can keep up this high quality of work. #DCComics #BlackLabel
DetailsTeen Titans: Endless Winter Special #1 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @MSantucciArt @JssMerino) is a great bridge between the recent past & near future of the Titans franchise, as well as being another solid installment of “Endless Winter!” #DCComics
