I was talked into reading Old Man Logan back in 2011, after much hesitation and more than a few I promise, I’ll read it next week‘s. Honestly, it’s not a book I ever gave a second glance to, mostly because the … Continue reading

Avengers Annual #1 is a welcome bit of light relief, after the convoluted complexity porn that was Hickman’s Infinity. It’s equal parts action packed, witty, poignant, and bizarrely adorable. Writer Katherine Immonen has written a fun and charming stand alone story, that … Continue reading

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ep.3: The Asset

So, we have reached episode three. If my life were an episode of Friends right now, it would probably be titled ‘The one where Kim decides whether or not she gives a shit’. And I do. Give a shit, that … Continue reading
