Recap: Wizard World Austin 2019

A super busy weekend in Austin may have attributed greatly to the turnout for this year’s Comic Con from Wizard World, but it was still a great time for all that attended. The Texas Longhorns were playing a home game (which they won, woot woot) and apparently there were several different festivals around town for…

Things Are Still Crazy in Gotham–Just Not Quite as Interesting

Gotham kicked off its final season last week with a fairly strong premiere, at least by Gotham standards.

Comic Book Television Preview: Part 1- DC Comics

There are a lot of superhero movies out there. If the over-the-top Guardians of the Galaxy trailer tells us anything, it’s that this trend is just getting started as more obscure properties are about to rub elbows with Captain America and the other big names.
