Top 10 Comics of 2017


2017 has effectively come and gone. We came into the year one person and have probably left it a completely different one. It's been an interesting year, especially for me. I've unfortunately (as many readers may have noticed) not been quite as on top of things as I have been in past years. It was a big transitional period in my life this year, and I'm hoping that 2018 will allow me more time to get back to this blog, because I do love writing about various anime, movies, TV shows, and most especially comic books. And if there were always one thing this year I could count on, regardless of quality or quantity, it was my stack of comics week in and week out. 

So today, let's check out my Top 10 Series and Issues of 2017.

Blue Nexus #76 - Grass is Always Greener



Previously on "Blue Nexus:" The Magus War came to it's epic conclusion! As Kyle faced off with the powerful and mysterious Demon Mage Faustus, Brenda, Sandy, and Tania all took on Rafael in a desperate final bout to rid the world of the dangerous Divinity mage. Tania sacrificed herself, and in doing so gave Brenda and Sandy the opportunity to end the threat of Rafael once and for all. Meanwhile, Kyle was defeated at the hands of Faustus, but Brenda's resolve to keep fighting, combined with Kyle's own latent power, stayed his hand from wiping them out, ending the battle and thus the war. 

Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC Wishlist


Merry Almost-Christmas everybody! Normally I’d take this time to talk about another list of things from this past year as a means of reflection, but screw that noise, Dragon Ball FighterZ is almost here and I wanna talk about that, because I am ECSTATIC to play this game. I didn’t get in on the closed beta and I’ve basically blocked out the weekend of January 14th-16th as time to play it and learn some of the characters I’m interested in most (Teen Gohan, Trunks, Hit, Beerus for those that care). There’s still one lingering mystery over the game: who are the eight DLC fighters going to be? We haven’t gotten many hints and there’s speculation abound, so, I’ve decided to throw my hat and hopes into the ring!

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (SPOILER FILLED) Review


Now that my spoiler-free thoughts on Star Wars: The Last Jedi are out of the way, I can finally really dive into this movie and discuss all my thoughts on what the movie did, didn't, and ultimately revealed. Remember, SPOILERS AHEAD.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Spoiler-Free) Review


Hot off the heels of Disney effectively taking over the film industry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi has released and continues the story of Rey, Finn, Poe, Kylo Ren, and the true her of the Star Wars saga, R2-D2. Within 24 hours of its worldwide release the Internet is already divided on it and after giving it a day to stir, marinate, and finish cooking in my mind, I'm ready to talk about it and not give anything away.

This...will be difficult.
