Arrow: Dodger Review
by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(February 22, 2013)
I think the best way to describe this week’s episode of Arrow would be lukewarm. Not great, not horrible. It forwarded a couple of plotlines but featured a totally disposable villain. Arrow is tracking down a high tech jewel thief who uses hostages
YOUNG JUSTICE INVASION: COMPLICATIONS Review
by Johnny Destructo, Critic and Comic Geek
(February 19, 2013)
OooBOY this review is going to be a difficult one to write. It's not my feelings on the episode that are in question, but the happenings of the episode itself! Ok, here we go, try to keep up.
The Walking Dead: Home Review
by Joel Rickenbach, Columnist and Critic
(February 18, 2013)
There were a lot of concerns after last week's quiet episode that the bulk of the remaining season would be as well. Slowly building to that "cha-ching" finale, and leaving us twisting in the wind for months. Fears should be allayed after tonight's curious
Arrow: The Odyssey Review
by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(February 15, 2013)
This week’s episode picks up right where last week’s left off…Oliver crashes through the window of his mother’s office as The Hood to confront her. Moira begs for her life, showing pictures of Oliver and Thea. Oliver lets his guard down and Moi
YOUNG JUSTICE INVASION: WAR Review
by Johnny Destructo, Critic and Comic Geek
(February 12, 2013)
The JLA are being detained and put on trial far away from Earth when this episode opens and I was pretty elated to see them. I forgot that everything about this show is better then most other animated series of late, and I really like the design of these c
The Walking Dead: The Suicide King Review
by Joel Rickenbach, Columnist and Critic
(February 11, 2013)
Those who love bloodshed may be disappointed in this episode's overall lack of zombie carnage, but its real transgression is making the "hang" in its mid-season cliffhanger an almost pointless, arm-tiring endeavor. I would have been interesting to see how

YOUNG JUSTICE INVASION: RUNAWAYS Review
by Johnny Destructo, TV Critic and Comic Geek
(February 06, 2013)
My first thought? Oh cool, The Runaways! Oh. Wait. That's Marvel. Dang.
My second thought? Oh man. This is going to be about a bunch of characters I don't care about.
Before Watchmen: Dollar Bill One-Shot Review
by Mania Staff, Columnists, Critics, Geeks, and Fanboys
(February 05, 2013)
When DC Comics announced that they were going to produce more Watchmen stories without Alan Moore, it created a huge controversy. Issues such as creator’s rights and touching the holy bible of comics being the two biggest. We decided to not just give y

YOUNG JUSTICE INVASION: THE FIX Review
by Johnny Destructo, TV Critic and Comic Geek
(January 31, 2013)
Wow, so this show, which usually impresses me with it’s satisfying lack of exposition, starts off with Artemis THINKING REALLY HARD AT A MIRROR. “I’m Artemis but now I’m pretending to not be Artemis and this is the plot of the show and my character
The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 Blu-Ray Review
by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(January 30, 2013)
After an outstanding beginning to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, could part two continue the excellence and bring it all home? In a word…YES! Part two begins right where the first part left off, with the Joker in Arkham Asylum watching news reports
Arrow: Trust But Verify Review
by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(January 25, 2013)
Arrow backtracked a bit this week into not so enjoyable territory with an episode that dealt to much on relationship issues and for the second straight week featured a less than compelling villain.
Arrow: Burned Review
by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(January 18, 2013)
As you will recall, Arrow ended its first half season on a high note with perhaps its best episode to date. So how would the second half premiere hold up?
Star Wars #1 Review
by Robert T. Trate , Columnist and Critic
(January 14, 2013)
With a new era of Star Wars about to begin, Dark Horse Comics and writer Brian Wood (DMZ) are taking us back to the beginning. The new comic, simply titled, Star Wars, takes us back just months after the Rebellion’s victory at Yavin 4.

Arrow: Vendetta Review
by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(December 06, 2012)
After a couple of strong weeks our regularly scheduled airing of Arrow is interrupted for an episode of Dawson’s Creek, or maybe its Melrose Place, or choose whatever sappy relationship drama you like. Instead of building on last week’s episode which
The Walking Dead: Made to Suffer Review
by Joel Rickenbach, Columnist and Critic
(December 04, 2012)
There was a lot of hype going into tonight's episode. Show runner Glen Mazzara promised a cliffhanger that would shock the fans. I have to be honest- I didn't believe him. It's not that I didn't think it wouldn't be great, which it was, I just figured he w
The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray Review
by Kimberly McCall, Critic
(December 03, 2012)
With the first subtle thunder of Hans Zimmer's notes, it feels as through not even a second has passed since we were last in the world of Christopher Nolan's Batman. In reality, it has been four years since The Dark Knight film, itself, and eight years in

The Walking Dead: When the Dead Come Knocking Review
by Joel Rickenbach, Columnist and Critic
(November 26, 2012)
There are many badasses on this show- Merle, Daryl, Michonne... and then there's Glenn. I have yet to see the Dixons, The Sherriff or the Katana-wielding nomad dispatch a walker while duct taped to a chair. His primal yell was the sound of adrenalin and po
The Walking Dead: Hounded Review
by Joel Rickenbach, Columnist and Critic
(November 19, 2012)
Initially this episode felt like another transitional tale, but once it was over it definitely felt like the quiet before the storm. There is some distant thunder rumbling its way towards us, and tonight we saw some of the pieces that will make things go "
Arrow: Legacies Review
by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(November 15, 2012)
This week’s Arrow begins with the Royal Flush Gang robbing a bank and nearly killing an off-duty cop who happened to be on the scene. This version of the criminal gang has little to do with its comic book version and the only similarity is that they wea
The Walking Dead: Say the Word Review
by Joel Rickenbach, Columnist and Critic
(November 13, 2012)
This episode finds us in transition, and that's not a bad thing after the shocks of last week. We settle down a bit, chess pieces move, things slowly start to build, and we learn some interesting things along the way. There are a few aspects of this episod
Fall of 82: Creepshow
by Rob Vaux, Mania Critic
(November 12, 2012)
It started with the comics.
The “EC” originally stood for “Educational Comics,” a shockingly ironic title for a line of proudly subversive horror mags. With titles like Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, and The Haunt of Fear (in addition
