Comic Book Review: World’s Finest: Teen Titans #1

Social media? Who needs it. I mean, besides us here at ComicsOnline. I guess I also use it for cat memes and funny videos. Also, you all use it to find more of our reviews and retweets. Where was I going with this? Regardless, social media can be great AND terrible. Can it rip a team apart? Find out in World’s Finest: Teen Titans #1!

Movie Review: Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (Part One)

Mission: Impossible started out as a TV series airing on CBS in September of 1966. After 7 glorious years it was later revived in 88 for two more seasons on ABC, but not until Tom Cruise came along did the IP infect my generation with super-spy fever.

Comic Book Review: X-Men: Before the Fall – The Sinister Four

Mother Righteous of that terminated future was able to send herself back a load of data. What was it? What are the origins of the Sinister Four? This entry into the X-Men: Before The Fall storyline will answer some of these questions, but can we expect a character created by Chris Claremont to tie up all the loose plot threads? C’mon, son.

Comic Book Review: Peacemaker Tries Hard #3

“I’m becoming aware that I must be incredibly unlikeable.”

Me too, Peacemaker, me too. This kind of realization comes to many of us, but hopefully like me, you just consider it a part of your charm. I certainly think of it as part of Peacemaker’s, especially in this week’s Peacemaker Tries Hard #3!

Comic Book Review: Captain America #750

A nice milestone hodgepodge for The First Avenger making it 3/4 of the way to the biggie that only Superman and Batman have reached so far. Overall, a solid volume, uneven as these buffet-style compilations are, but what’s not to love about a triple-sized dose of red, white and blue uplift this Independence Day? ComicsOnline gives Captain America #750 – (!) a patriotic July 4 out of 5 stars.

Comic Book Review: Batman: The Brave and the Bold #2

If this is the style that we can continue expecting from Batman: The Brave and the Bold, we’re in for quite a treat. The stories within have done a great job at investing the reader in sticking around for the next chapter, while presenting an opportunity for some wonderful one-offs that can serve to deepen our connection to these characters and their struggles.

Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

As I write this review I am coming down from a frothing Generation X rage after a young man at the theater said something deprecating about the movie I just watched. So I must beg your indulgence for a moment, gentle reader, while I get something off my chest. On the off chance that that young man somehow reads this, I will be addressing his concerns directly.

Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Our beloved Indiana Jones is back punching Nazis, hunting down ancient artifacts, and partnering up with a new sidekick–all to the heroic trumpets of John Williams’s score. But this Indiana Jones story is not a carbon copy of the originals, it surprisingly veered in a slightly different direction thematically, while still retaining some of the familiar beats we know and love. 

Movie Review: Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken

The trials and tribulations of High School are daunting to every teenager, but things get even more complicated when your aquatic family is pretending to be human. DreamWorks Animation presents their latest family adventure with Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken!
