Review: Intersect: Vol 1. Metamorph
It isn’t often that a comic intrigues and confuses simultaneously, but the first six issues of Intersect collected into a trade have done just that. The wispy and colorful art style is supported with the fragmented story as you watch the battle between two lovers entwined in the same body. … read more
Review: San Andreas
There’s not much to say about a film entirely about earthquakes, but let’s do it anyway. I must admit, my theater experience tilted the judgment scale on this one, since I witnessed this disaster-porn epic in 4DX. … read more

It should speak volumes that the most interesting character in this collection is, by far, a dwarf named Pwent, who is struggling to overcome a vampiric curse. … read more

Southern Bastards – Volume 2: Guardians Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Jason Latour Image Comics Street: 05.19 I didn’t realize that compelling stories could be written about football, and I’ll say it for all of us: Southern Bastards has as much to do with football as The Walking Dead has to do with zombies.
