The Wolf Pack (Chapter 3)

The Past THE HOOD, NINE YEARS AGO, MAYBE MORE I was taught how to fight. Everyone is taught, some by people, others by nature, and a lucky few by themselves. I was taught by a monster with others at my side. I call my mentor a monster not as an insult, but as a necessary […]

The Wolf Pack (Chapter 2)

The Team THE HOOD I’ve seen monkey shit fights more organized than this place. This place being S.I.L.A.S. That’s the name of the government organization that watches and trains people with awakened superhuman genes, or I should better say, an organization meant to keep them in line. While I don’t have any powers… being the […]

The Wolf Pack (Chapter 1)

The Hood THE DIRECTOR The Carone family recently received their merchandise from the ship a few minutes ago. As they finish loading everything onto the dock, that’s when he decides to make his move. I wouldn’t judge anyone for not seeing him under the water. It’s the dead of night and he’s wearing all black, […]

Elsa Bloodstone stands with the stars to her back, as one of my recommendations to be added into Midnight Suns.
Five Characters Marvel Midnight Suns Should Add

So with Marvel Midnight Suns, we have another great-looking Marvel game. It’s made by Firaxis, the developers behind XCom, the popular tactical sci-fi role-playing series. They’re known not only for their deep turn-based strategy combat but also for their punishing permadeath and RPG mechanics. While we shouldn’t expect to see permadeath with Marvel superheroes, we […]

Superman takes off his glasses to reveal his Secret Identity.
When Should a Superhero Reveal Their Secret Identity?

There’s a staple of superhero mythos that’s been around since the dawn of superhero comics. Something that doesn’t have a real-life equivalent, outside of being a spy, maybe. This makes it difficult to discern its morality even in context. This thing is the secret identity. The name heroes go by during their regular daily life […]

The Spectre stands up in front of clouds.
Why Ostrander’s Spectre is a Tragic Hero

The Spectre is an underrated favorite character of mine. Almost as old as Superman, he first appeared in 1940. He was even made by the same writer, Jerry Spiegel, with a co-credit from one Bernard Baily.  He has a storied history, playing a significant role in many of its events, particularly in Crisis on Infinite […]

Batman & More Comic Book Reviews for 5/5

This week wasn’t the best week, but also not the worst. It feels like I’m drawn to the same books week after week… after week. Guess what books I loved this week? Batman and X-Men, no surprise.  Guess what disappointed me? Pretty much everything else from DC. DC is starting to feel like a one-trick […]

S.W.O.R.D. & Comic Book Reviews for 4/21

This week, Marvel with SWORD contends for the best singular issue of the year, while half the week falls flat. I only picked up one DC book today, Justice League, and the rest were X-Men.  The highs of Marvel with SWORD and Way of X were really high, and the lows of Justice League and […]

Guardians of the Galaxy & Comic Book Reviews for 4/14

Comics this week were good. Between a landmark issue for Guardians of the Galaxy, a new Batman series by Tom Taylor, plus more good ole X-Men, times are good. Not saying that every comic I picked up this week landed, but more often than not, they did. Guardians of the Galaxy #13, written by Al […]

Guardians: Heroes of the Milky Way Chapter 1

Chapter One: Terra’rork                       “I don’t really think about it,” I tell my co-worker. We’re working at Guardian’s Emergency Hospital in Aloy, the largest city above ground on Tora, the homeworld of the Techanots, and also a Regamorph colony. When I was with Team Sunset, I was the medic, the healer when I wasn’t piloting. After […]
