So this was a movie that I'd had in the queue for a couple of years because I'd seen a trailer for it on IMDb (as you do) and it looked like a good, creepy horror movie. The premise is that Will (Logan-Marshall Green) and his new girlfriend Kira (Emayatzy Corinealdi) are invited to a …

A Valiant Effort: Eternal Warrior
Maybe it's my love of Highlander, maybe it's because I liked him in the Valiant reboot The Valiant (which I have in trade), but I was looking forward to Eternal Warrior more than a number of the other series that I have already written about. The idea of an immortal who has longtime enemies and …
Transformers: The Movie
Does my '80s kid card get revoked if I tell you that I honestly cannot remember when I first saw this movie? I'm serious. This film came out on August 8, 1986 and I know I did not see it in the theater on opening weekend (more than likely, we were doing something centered around …
A Valiant Effort: Bloodshot
These two comics, Bloodshot #6 and 7, are a bit of a cheat because I had read them before. In fact, I brought #6 to an episode of "Back to the Bins" a number of years ago and we all more or less gave it a C. But I wanted to reread them because I was reading …
Quickie Movie Reviews
I've watched so many movies in the last few weeks of my summer break that I'm having problems keeping track of them all and I'm also having trouble keeping up with my mandate to review what I've been watching. So I decided that I'd do a post with quickie movie reviews. If I own the …
A Valiant Effort: Archer & Armstrong
So the Valiant Universe seems to have been pretty tightly created from the get go, with the same villains showing up in different books and characters being related to one another in some way. From what I understand, there are three immortals walking around and they are brothers. One of them is the Eternal Warrior, …
A Valiant Effort: Valiant Rader
The end of the big longbox of independent comics that I obtained for free a few years ago features a pile of books from one of the bigger indie publishers of the early 1990s, Valiant. Now, I've already looked at Image and did it all in one post because while I did get out of …
The Last of the Independents
So this is the final entry in "Fighting the Independents", even though these aren't the last indie comics I'm going to read as part of this project. I'll get into what's up with that after I look at the individual comics, of which there are only five, all of which were FCBD grabs or free …
Fighting the Independents, 7/25/19-8/3/19
Well, this summer of reading independent comics has been pretty successful because at the time I'm writing this, I have made my way through most of that longbox and have a pile of Valiant comics as well as a couple of other random books left and can now spend my time focusing on the Marvel …
The Crimson Avenger #1-3
Coming off of the story told in Secret Origins #5, Roy Thomas wrote a four-issue miniseries in 1988 that tells the story of the next adventure of the Crimson Avenger, this time illustrated by Greg Brooks and Mike Gustovich. I had grabbed the first three issues of the series as part of my haul for …
