As many of you know, I watch a massive amount of currently-airing shows. But summertime tends to bring a bit of reprieve as every returning show is on its seasonal break. While a handful ofmy shows air during the summer (Orphan Black, Preacher), I’ve found that this summer is particularly dry for me. One of my…

The Requel Trilogy : Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace

My concern was as great as this concept was, the risk of it slipping into simple novelty with the subsequent issues would run high. But the fine folks at IDW retain the concept’s freshness, aided in part by…
