Game of Thrones: “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”
I thought this second episode of Game of Thrones’ final season was magnificent, a high water mark in the series. I know of some people who have complained that these first two episodes have been boring, and I truly don’t know what to say about that. The character momen
Josh Reviews Hellboy
Mike Mignola’s Hellboy is one of my very favorite comic book characters. Over the past 25 years, the comic book universe surrounding this big red paranormal investigator has grown and deepened into a fantastically fun and complex epic-scale saga. The various Hellboy-universe
Josh Reviews the Powers Novel: The Secret History of Deena Pilgrim
Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming’s terrific comic book series, Powers, follows homicide detectives Walker and Pilgrim in a world of superheroes. After rereading the series last year, I realized that there was one additional piece of Powers material that I hadn̵
Game of Thrones Returns with “Winterfell”
After an almost two years’ wait, Game of Thrones’ six-episode final season has, at long last, begun! I thought this first episode, “Winterfell,” was a fantastic beginning to this final run of episodes. Let’s begin by discussing the gorgeous new openin

Josh Reviews Star Trek: Discovery “Perpetual Infinity” and “Through the Valley of Shadows”
We’re heading into the home stretch of Star Trek: Discovery season two. I’m finding things to enjoy in every episode, but the show is far shakier than I’d hoped (and that the stronger episodes at the start of the season had led me to anticipate). Episode 10: “

Star Trek: The Weight of Worlds
I have been catching up with a number of stand-alone Star Trek novels telling stories from Captain Kirk’s era that had been sitting unread — for far too long! — on my bookshelf! After reading Greg Cox’s novel The Rings of Time, I moved on to Mr. Cox’s nex
