Transformers Finally Get It Right (Yay, Bumblebee!)
I had absolutely no desire to see this movie. Transformers just haven’t been able to get their act together on the big screen. As a life-long fan of the toys, animated series, and comics, I have been let down time and time again by the films. I wasn’t even going to give this one chance. […]

An Unlikely Walking Dead Team-Up
Walking Dead: Volume 28 – A Certain Doom I quit The Walked Dead a few years ago. I got tired of the constant misery portrayed on the televisions series. I was especially aggrieved at the on-screen violence when it came to the murder of Glen. We knew he died in the show even though we […]

Facing Fate with Doctor Who
Doctor Who – Facing Fate Trilogy I have really weird reading habits when it comes to comics. First off, I tend to read graphic novels out of the order in which they were released. This is due to the fact that I don’t buy most of what I read. I visit various branches of the […]
