Stargirl’s Comics Origin (Stars And S.T.R.I.P.E.)
Stargirl is my all-time favourite superhero television show. Season One last year was absolutely incredible and if you haven’t seen it yet. I highly recommend brushing up on it before the second season arrives. You won’t be disappointed. I wanted to check out the origin of the hero in the comics and believe it or […]

Green Lantern Binge #2
Earlier this year, I dived into the fourth volume of Green Lantern comics and binge-read six years worth of books in just a few weeks. That series ended with a cliffhanger that made me want to jump right into the fifth volume, but I thought I’d read a few other things first. Well, I just […]

The Seventh Doctor and Ace Still Travelling in Comics
Doctor Who – The Seventh Doctor: Operation Volcano The Doctor and Ace are back with a brand new adventure that matches the tone of the classic Doctor Who series. It’s like they haven’t missed a beat from when the show went off the air in 1989. Even if you aren’t familiar with this iteration of […]

Star Wars: Han Solo – Imperial Cadet When we were introduced to Han Solo in Star Wars: A New Hope, it was clear that this was a fascinating character. He moved from being a self-centered smuggler to a galactic hero during the course of the film. It was an incredible origin story even though he […]

Superman – The Unity Saga
Superman: Vol. 1 – The Unity Saga: Phantom Earth I read the 1000th issue of Action Comics last year. It’s impressive that Superman has made it that many issues and remains a huge part of popular culture. It’s also interesting to see Brian Michael Bendis writing in the DC Universe. I absolutely loved his work for […]

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Volume 1 – The Coulson Protocols Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a unique television show that deals with story lines and issues from the cinematic universe. I have really enjoyed the show over the past six years. Unfortunately, next year the series will be coming to an end. Phil Coulson was a […]
