Synopsis: Supergirl fights against her aunt and learns some heartbreaking news about her mom, while Catco is dealing with a hacker. Rating: ★★★☆☆ As a midseason finale goes, I would say this particular episode of Supergirl came in a little bit weak on the action side of things. Just in […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – December 9, 2015
This week Sam looks at Giant Days and Lantern City from BOOM! Studios, with one fairing better in terms of entertainment for her. Kylee continues to enjoy Harrow County – seriously, if you’re not reading this series, you’re missing out on some fantastic horror! From DC Comics, Jackson read New Suicide Squad and Batman, both of […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – December 2, 2015
Sam found the penultimate issue of John Flood to be somewhat of a letdown, but continued to enjoy The Woods, both from BOOM! Studios. Kylee tried out Mystery Girl, a new series offering from Dark Horse, that impressed her with the boring, everyday bits more than the story itself. Jackson continues to enjoy East […]
Supergirl: Red Faced Recap
Synopsis: Kara has trouble managing her anger, and Cat’s mother is in town. Rating: ★★★★★ Okay first of all can we talk about how Kara is canonically this low-paid and unappreciated, clumsy assistant, who somehow manages to have a bomb-ass loft all to herself? In fact, there’s been no evidence whatsoever of […]
The Dark Knight III isn’t the Comic You Want to Love or the One You Want to Hate
For better or much, much worse, Frank Miller’s reputation has proceeded him in comics for something like 30 years. At its best, Miller’s name is a reference to a genre-blending master of form and function, who re-branded Daredevil as a character before permanently redefining Batman as a character and concept. […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – November 25, 2015
Fight Club 2 continues to be the bane of Kylee’s existence and she continues to read it out of sheer spite. At least Jackson enjoyed DC Comics’ The Omega Men and Grayson. He also is still on board the Saga train with the rest of us comics readers. All of his comics fro this week’ […]
Supergirl: How Does She Do It? Recap
Synopsis: Kara must protect National City from a series of bombings and babysit Cat’s son, while James is visited by Lucy Lane. ★★★★☆ This was a rough week for Kara. Not only were bombs going off all over the city, but she also volunteered to watch Cat’s son, Carter. Carter […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – November 18, 2015
Sam took a look at BOOM! Studios’ offerings this week – with Giant Days reeling her back in and Lumberjanes continuing to impress. Kylee looks forward to every new issue of The Paybacks, if only to see what z-team hero the creators can come up with next. Jackson looks at a rather niche Batman Europa from […]

Supergirl: Livewire Recap
Synopsis: Thanksgiving brews trouble for the Danvers family, and an angry DJ developing superpowers doesn’t help matters much. Kara learns a devastating secret about her foster family. Rating: ★★★★★ It’s getting ridiculous, frankly, how closely and often Supergirl is interacting with characters who know Kara Danvers, and getting away with it. […]
