DC Rebirth is a new DC Comics wide event that has been touted as both the death knell and the saving grace for DC Comics. After the incredibly divisive New 52 event spinning out of Flashpoint, many readers, reviewers, and fans in general wondered how long it would be before there was yet another reboot. …

Your young adventurers meet a strong foe who will not take no for an answer. Will they fall before his might? Or will they survive and reach Norhall? What if this is all a test? They have already killed people so I hope it is not a test. But it is good to ask. Maybe …

Hello! I’m back, once again, to give you my first impressions on an Anime that Transformation Sequence likely won’t have time to cover in full. As a reminder, what I consider a first impression of a show is watching the first three episodes. This gives the show time to introduce the world, the characters, the …

Continuing along the path that her first book, The Fire Sermon, laid out, Map of Bones is another measured elegy for a world in ruins. Atomic detonations blanketed the world in cold and ignorance, and the survivors learned to fear anything to do with the blasts. Technology. The past. Each other. A quirk of the …

Your hosts are Ashleigh Shadowbrook (@ShadowbrookAsh), Nika Howard (@nika_howard), Brad Brockway (@bsquared_yo), and Steph Kingston (@StephOKingston). @Dreadthoughts on Twitter www.dreadful-thoughts-podcast.tumblr.com www.facebook.com/DreadfulThoughts @dreadthoughtspod …

I didn’t grow up playing video games. Although I participated in plenty of traditionally uncool activities (writing secret Redwall fanfiction in my journal, being really into gemstones, etc.), I missed the blessed time period where you easily learn stuff just by dint of being young and untainted by the evils of overthinking.

Lucas Knight doesn’t have any shining armor. He’s the spoiled child of a wealthy white developer in Puerto Rico, and the most good he’s done is all in his head. He wishes things were different—that his father wasn’t a sneering aristocrat, that his Puerto Rican neighbors would actually accept him, that his mother hadn’t left—but …
