Top Gun   The Kenny Loggins still slaps, the flying parts are pretty good, but man…I don’t know about this one, guys. This isn’t one of

I really enjoy that in this world, an evil witch is basically just trying to staff her business. She forces people into servitude, their lives

I only like disaster movies that involve flying severely unqualified blue collar workers to space armed with a nuke that’s going to solve the problem. 

This shit is amazing. It’s that martial arts stuff where so and so’s north star technique defeats so and so’s south pole technique, and a

There’s a good idea to be mined from this book: next Batman movie, make Bruce Wayne a super flamboyant drag Queen instead of a billionaire

1: I don’t have a ton of “where do they come up with this shit?” moments in my reading life, but this one hits the

Volume 1: Imagine Walking Dead, except the person involved had such a shitty life before that a zombie apocalypse is a significant improvement, and you’ve

I, like the character featured in this book, know a martial art of which I’m the only practitioner. Okay, there are some differences between me

Well, a kid gets stuck with his deaf…aunt, grandma, something, doesn’t really matter, and when he visits a local toyshop, he finds a container of

A good book about a true original, a maverick, if you will. It does make me wish for a bygone era of office nonsense, the

First, if you’re wondering, the Netflix show follows this EXACTLY, so if you’re into that, good news for you. If you like reading the book

I can’t remember the last time I read a comic and then turned around to re-read it from the start within a month of finishing.

Mmm…this is one of those “a lot going on here” books, not in a good way. Ton of characters, not real clear what’s going on,

On one hand, working for a company that does murder stuff isn’t the best. On the other hand, the company seems to be pretty good

I like how weird this was, how silly in places. I was going to say this is perfect for fans of One Punch Man, but

I do not recommend reading this volume 18 months or more after reading the first. You’ll remember less than you need to. Unless you’re one

Reverse Meet the Parents, not for me. I also really despise “hitman with a heart of gold” stories. There is no such thing. John Cusack

“You might notice I just reviewed another title called ‘The Faggiest Vampire.’ Now we’ve got ‘The Baby Jesus Butt Plug.’ So there’s this section of

“You might be asking, “Pete, why would you read this book that’s clearly meant for children and probably just a Goosebumps knockoff that is not

“You know, this is a good example of a comic where describing the plot makes it sound way stupider. Daredevil is Hulk’s lawyer, and Hulk
