Blue Nexus: Dark Soul Pt. 4 - The Prayers of Gods



Previously in "Blue Nexus: The Dark Soul": Kyle and Brenda journeyed to the lost, great Halls of Penetanon to see if they could find what the nefarious mage group, the Mystic Sven, had discovered. There they encountered a young woman named She, who informed them of the mysterious nature of the Dark Soul. Kyle and Brenda were separated, and while Brenda was flung to the far future, Kyle found himself face-to-face with a young Aequitas and his black dragon.

Comic Book Review - April 25, 2018



This week, the art is all over the place, there's Power Rangers all over the place, and I still can't believe Avengers: Infinity War is premiering so soon. HYPE. Also major storylines are setup. MORE HYPE.

The Importance of Legacy in Power Rangers


When a show exists for a long time, say something like 25 years, it tends to build something of a history behind it. It creates a mythos, something that people will remember during its long run and, hopefully, well after it's done. In television, shows like Star Trek live on in now just how they shaped the Science Fiction genre, but also key characters and motivations that have been either revived in different media, or been made a point of reference. However, sometimes it's just important for a series to look back and reflect on its own legacy. The comic book character The Flash has an immense history that's built almost exclusively on the legacy of Jay Gerrick and Barry Allen. But perhaps few shows or series analyze and give respect to legacy better than Power Rangers...most of the time.

Major Issues: Superman by Peter Tomasi & Patrick Gleason


Superman is, oddly enough, a controversial character. Some people see him as an icon, an ideal that most superheroes should attempt to reach. He symbolizes the best of humanity, he symbolizes what it means to be a superhero. For others, he's a boring overpowered alien that says witty things and isn't nearly as cool as other members of the DCU like Batman or Wonder Woman. Superman is the thing that binds the universe together, or he's the weakest link. But, regardless of your opinion on the Man of Steel, everyone can equally admit that he is certainly special, he's important. But, why is that? Why does Superman matter? I believe that's what Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason set out to explore in their most recent run of Superman in the "Rebirth" era, and, for my money, I think they answered that question: Superman matters because we matter.

Comic Book Reviews - April 18, 2018



This week, Superman takes center stage! A run ends, and a run begins. Unfortunately, though, we must also say goodbye to both a ninja...and a Power Ranger?!

Previously in "Blue Nexus": Kyle's been out and about in the galaxy and on the world, on constant assignment from the Zanderia. Whenever he does get home, though, he feels a certain emptiness inside him, as if something's pretty wrong. Now, he has to confront that feeling head on.

Comic Book Reviews - April 11, 2018



While one ninja's new quest begins, one speedster's ends; and where one detective must have a meeting of the minds, a priest finds his mind may not be as clear as he once thought. Mystery and intrigue are about!
