The Walking Dead – ‘Chokepoint’ Review

In this episode Beta faces off against Daryl in an epic showdown. It’s been hyped, and it does not disappoint.

Elsewhere The Kingdom deal with a new group of bandits. If that sound familiar, prepare to be surprised.

Captain Marvel (2019) – Review

Generating more buzz than even the most divisive of political topics, ‘Captain Marvel’ is finally here. Bringing a 90s grunge attitude and some timely themes, I, for one, loved it.

The Walking Dead – ‘Guardians’ Review

We see more of the Whisperers than ever this week, and get an idea of how their wacky post-apocalyptic community works. We also meet the insane Beta and get a fantastic Negan scene (we were due another).

What I’m Reading – ‘Crossed’ by Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows

Today I’m reviewing the Garth Ennis comic ‘Crossed’. It’s pretty full-on, and is not for everyone. But there is a story in here with some really mature themes and some great insight. You just have to get past the mutilation and gore to find it.

What I’m Reading – ‘Fury’ by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson

Garth Ennis tackles Nick Fury! And if you’ve read any of his work before, especially his run on The Punisher, you probably know what to expect. But that doesn’t make it any less impressive when Nick Fury strangles a man with their own intestines.

What I’m Reading – ‘Joker’ by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo

After ‘The Dark Knight’ was released, the Joker became a pop culture icon. People worshipped him, slapping pictures of the character onto clothes and merchandise. You couldn’t escape people doing impressions and asking you “why so serious?”

Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo use the story of lowlife Jonny Frost to give us an alternative look at the Joker, and make you think twice before buying that t-shirt with his picture on.

Venom (2018) – Review

‘Venom’ made a ton of money, and I can’t figure out why. It’s ugly, boring, and adds nothing of value to the superhero genre.

Here’s my review, as I unpick the negatives and positives (as few and far between as they are) and explain why you should forget ‘Venom’ and give ‘Upgrade’ a shot.
