Review: Justice League #23.4: Secret Society
All in all, DC’s grand scheme to bring about a focus on their villains has been extremely flat. Most books have been only used to tell you what to buy next without giving you a story that would actually make you want to do so! Add to that, the negative hype regarding the 3D cover…

Movie Review: Riddick (2013)
Remixing HistoryA Film review of RiddickBy: Lawrence Napoli [[wysiwyg_imageupload:10901:]]Anyone familiar with the Riddick Trilogy could have easily seen the trailers for this most recent installment and said, “Hey, I think I’ve seen that before,” and they would be absolutely correct.

Review: Nova #7 (Wells)
I finally found something to like about NINO! Issue #7 cured my insomnia! Yup; soporific #7 is a cliché-filled snooze-fest. Sadly, it further sullies and denigrates the legacy of the true hero whose name and title were stolen to smear across the cover of this intelligence-insulting excuse for a “cosmic” comic book.Staying true to his…

Review: Thanos Rising #4
It’s faint praise, but this is the best and most tolerable issue of this series thus far. I wasn’t left wanting to throw it against the wall in disgust. That’s really the best I can say about it.That being said, simply put – this storyline will make you disrespect Thanos in nearly every way. Whereas…

Review: Nova #6 (Wells)
The Loeb-otomization of the Nova concepts and legacy continues.This snooze-fest of an issue finds NINO returning from his cameo in AvX. You know – the one where he says he has to ask his mom’s permission to join the Avengers. He asks and she says no. Finally, someone makes a reasonable adult decision about a…

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy #3 (Bendis)
If I were to free associate, the first words that come to mind in describing this issue are: boring, un-imaginative, hackneyed, wordy, un-balanced in terms of verbiage vs. action, and un-exciting in the single action sequence. I could go on but it’s just too sad to see the decline from the imaginative, exciting, fast-paced, and…
