Captain America: Civil War Review

Captain America: Civil War doesn't highlight the differences between Cap and Tony Stark as much as it creates them, but at least it does so in a somewhat intelligent way… until all the good guys have to fight each other.

Unsung Anniversaries #3: American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt

For this week's Unsung Anniversaries, we go with a pretty deep cut to celebrate the 25th anniversary of American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt, and in the process talk a little bit about the history of 1980s movie making powerhouse Cannon Films, what happens when a franchise has to recast its lead, and why the film has two standout performances from cult acting icons that almost make it worth watching.

Amazing Spider-Man #654.1 Review

This is the best Amazing Spider-Man issue I have read in the last four years. In my youth, I was a Spider-Man fan, but upon returning to the comic years later, I soon encountered the “One More Day” arc — the story that featured the ending of Peter Parker’s marriage to Mary Jane Watson.

Amazing Spider-Man #654.1 changes all that.
