Review: All Star Superman on Blu-ray

Posted by | Mar 5, 2011 | |

I’ll start this review off by admitting that I’m a bit biased. I love DC Animation. Love. It. Ever since Batman: The Animated Series, I’ve watched pretty much everything released by the folks behind that show, such as Bruce Timm, Alan Burnett, Paul Dini and so on. With that in mind, I have to admit I’ve always been a bigger fan of Batman than Superman. I mean, the guy is indestructible, right? Where’s the conflict in that? Well, leave it to the animated version of a beloved comic called All Star Superman to indelibly change my entire outlook on the character. How? Read on and find out…

Angel #42 Review: IDW Runs Down The Clock…

Posted by | Feb 25, 2011 | |

After a great issue last month and the excitement of the coming ties to Dark Horse’s Buffy Season Eight, I want to say good things about issue #42 of Angel.  Sadly, this issue seems to slow the pace of the story.  In addition, it contains writing that feels off for certain characters, leaving this reader feeling as if IDW has given us a filler issue when they should be making the best use of their time left with Angel.  Still, there are some interesting things going on and a fairly surprising cliffhanger, so, perhaps, this issue will end up being the wind up for IDW’s final punch.

Angel #41 Review: Our Vamps Past Plays Out In The Future

Posted by | Feb 3, 2011 | |

Now that Buffy Season Eight has wrapped up, readers are left in the odd position of reading events that happened to our ensouled vampire hero prior to his tragic Buffy Season Eight story line.  While this may be an odd way to view this type of story, especially when we know what dark events will occur in his future, IDW has been doing an excellent job of keeping the series fresh and exciting in its final story arc!  With three issues left, the threads of IDW’s Angel series and Dark Horse’s Buffy series are, much to this fan’s excitement, starting to tie together.

Buffy #40 Review: Season Eight’s Finale

Posted by | Jan 28, 2011 | |

Buffy Season Eight has been a long, ambitious journey, but, as with all seasons, it has come to an end.  As with other well-constructed shows, the previous seasons of Buffy featured overarching themes that were revisited in each season’s finale.   While Buffy has struggled to convince its fan base that this was still possible in Buffy’s venture into comics, Season Eight and its messages can now be viewed as a whole.  While not flawless, the season remained a major accomplishment for the Buffy team and gave a Whedonish view of what happens when you change the world and how, despite good intentions, no one can completely hold onto the mantel of hero or villain when operating on a global level.
