Black Widow Ever since watching Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (still winner of lamest superhero movie title ever), I’ve been stuck on the problem of movies about singular superheroines. More than anything, I want to see a proliferation of them. But here’s the problem: how many superhero movies are […]
Punisher, Welcome Home, Frank Since last week in Graphic Reviews I looked at one of the best Daredevil runs in preparation for the new season of the Netflix series, this week I’ll be handling the other side and talking about one of my favorite Punisher stories. Like many antiheroes, Punisher can […]
Daredevil I have to admit to being one of those finicky people who must always read the book or series before I watch the television series or movie based on it. Sometimes that desire gets a little ridiculous but I can’t help it. It’s what drove me to finally read […]
Thor, Goddess of Thunder I may have mentioned a few times that other than antiheroes, many of my favorite characters are strong women. I find that as a woman reading comics, I actively look for female characters that are badass but not defined by their gender. This used to be […]
Alex + Ada The danger of artificial intelligence is one of those cautionary tales with which we humans seem to be absolutely enamored. How many stories have we created in which we use science to fashion beings who will make our lives easier only to have said beings turn against us, […]
Beauty Image Comics was kind enough to allow me to read a digital galley of this volume so I am pleased to review the series this week. For all that we might claim that “beauty is only skin deep,” we sure spend a lot of time pursuing it. Every age has […]
Nimona Given that I discussed one of the greatest anti-heroes ever written last week, this week seemed a good time to discuss that line between anti-hero and sympathetic villain. One of the aspects of anti-heroes that makes them interesting is that on a bad day, they’re really not that much […]
Deadpool As I may have mentioned once or twice, I have long been a fan of the tortured superheroes (Batman being the obvious choice here) and the antiheroes. One of the very first comics that I ever picked up featured a Deadpool/Spiderman team-up and I instantly fell in love. With […]
After the dark, occasionally creepy and disturbing tones of Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham and Superman: Red Son, it seemed like this week was a perfect time for something fun and silly. This week, I’m taking a look at a wonderful, indie steampunk story called Tyson Hesse’s Diesel. […]
I have long been a fan of superheroes but I have always found that one in particular has never been my cup of tea: Superman. While I will gleefully read stories that have me diving into Gotham with Batman, going on mythic adventures with Wonder Woman or planet hopping with […]
