Just as she steps to the mic at a dingy L.A. club, Sibohan is suddenly in terrible pain and she and her friends find themselves being attacked by cybernetic creatures while also being given powers and potentially saved by a sorceress.

Demolition Man #3
The early 1990s were an odd time for Sylvester Stallone movies. The Rocky and Rambo franchises had ended but he was still in that "bankable action star" phase where he could thrown his weight around Hollywood, and even ventured into restaurant franchising (Planet Hollywood still exists but is not as huge as it used to …
OMAC by John Byrne #1-3
I have to admit that Jack Kirby's DC work is a bit of a blind spot for me. I've read a little bit here and there via one-off reprints or a story being collected in a trade paperback collection like The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told, but most of my encounters with Fourth World, Kamandi, …
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (DC Comics Adaptation)
If there's a movie that's at the bottom of my rankings for the original crew films, it's definitely Star Trek V. Directed by William Shatner and coming a few years after the mega success of The Voyage Home, it's a mess of a picture that leans a little too much into its jokeiness and doesn't …

V: The Comic Book #5, 6, 9, 11
You know, I'm not trying to pay a lot for some of the comics that I need, but books like V can be hard to come by, even in cheap bins, so when I saw a stack of them at my LCS for about $3.00 each, I decided to grab a few. After all, there's …
Favorites of 2020, Part 1: Comics
You know, I don't think I've done a "Best of" list for any of the years I have been blogging (save for an end-of-year list at Required Reading). I think the reason for that is because I tend not to be "with it" when it comes to most entertainment. Aside from MCU and Star Wars …
Star Trek (1st DC Series) #37-56
I guess when I start reading the second DC Star Trek series, which I have entirely in digital format (except for the adaptations of the fifth and sixth movies), I'll get to read an official lettercolumn explanation as to why the first series ended as abruptly as it did, because I went into the final …
Star Trek (1st DC Series) #31-36, ST IV: VOY Adaptation
I'm pretty sure I've said this more than once, but if there is a bar set for how to work an expanded universe/comics adaptation between two sequels in a movie series, it's the Marvel Comics Star Wars series between Empire and Jedi. Following a close second, however, has been this first DC Star Trek series, …

Tokyo Olympiad
So about a month ago, I was prepping my most recent episode of "Fallen Walls Open Curtains" where I covered events from three Olympic Games during the Cold War, and I wondered if my cable service carried the Olympic channel and whether or not there's anything worth watching on it. I discovered ... Yes, we …
Some Comics in Brief, 12/19/20
I know I just did one of these, but I was recently writing a full review for a few books that I recently read, and I couldn't get beyond two paragraphs, so I decided to sum up what I've read recently. Maybe because I'm pressed for time (and have other things to do) and maybe …
