When The Little Mermaid released in 1989, it earned $211 million on a $40 million budget. Unadjusted for inflation, only The Rescuers Down Under earned less in theaters during the Renaissance era. Hercules is the least profitable of the Renaissance … Continue reading

Comics of November 30, 2016
It’s the last day of November, which means that NaNoWriMo is almost over. It’s always a fun month, but it also takes its toll. For example, I ran the second overnighter from start to finish I didn’t get a proper … Continue reading

Pretty Deadly 10 review
Two of Kelly Sue DeConnick’s creator-owned comics released today, this and Bitch Planet 8. While Bitch Planet is a good series about non-compliant women in prison with heavy anti-sexism themes, I find it more enjoyable to talk about Pretty Deadly. … Continue reading
Pretty Deadly 9 review
As much as the Pretty Deadly series is so deep and dense with its mythology and poetry that the first arc needs several readings to understand, the second arc has been simpler for the most part. The story is a … Continue reading

Comics of April 13, 2016
Usually the last week of the month is my small week for comic pickups, especially when it’s like last month where there are 5 Wednesdays. Looking ahead, it looks like this month is the opposite. Last week was pretty small, … Continue reading

Pretty Deadly 8 review
Considering how complex the first volume of Pretty Deadly is, it’s interesting to see how much more straight forward the second arc is. That’s not to say there isn’t anything behind the surface that you don’t notice the first time … Continue reading

Comics of February 3, 2016
So for the first time since I got into comics, I didn’t pick up an Uncanny X-Men issue. UXM2 was not only mediocre on the writing front, but Greg Land’s art was terrible and they needlessly killed off a fan … Continue reading
