When her husband returns home from his latest military tour with a mysterious illness, Biologist/Soldier Lena must venture into an unearthly aberration known simply as, “The Shimmer,” to find the answers she seeks. I’m very conflicted about this movie because as much as I enjoyed certain aspects of it, I also found many parts incredibly irritating. Lets start with the positive aspects. For one,
Forty one years ago, when Planet Vegeta was still teeming with life, there were born three extraordinary Saiyan children; one was labeled a low-class warrior, another was bred to be a Prince, and the last was exiled to the farthest reaches of the universe. While unbeknownst to any of them at the time, destiny would eventually force them to cross paths and engage in a conflict so intense it would l
MechaGodzilla City has been destroyed; and with it, humanity’s final chance of killing the unstoppable Godzilla.. or is it? With Captain Haruro’s focus split between the loss of his closest friend and his likely court martial for his actions against the Bilusaludo, the Exif Priest, Metphies, has used the chaos as a catalyst to induct a considerable amount of crew members into his religious cult. W
With most of their crew decimated by the overwhelming power of Godzilla, Captain Haruro Sakaki and the remaining Aratrum crew members must regroup and decide their next course of action. Luckily for them, they stumble across the research facility that once housed MechaGodzilla, a technological creature constructed by the Bilusaludo to combat Godzilla.

Thanos made us a promise last year. He claimed, “you will know what it’s like to lose,” and he was right. We lost. The Avengers, the world, the entire universe - we all understand, now, what it is to lose. And that truth has never hit harder than while watching the trailer for the next Avengers film - “Avengers: Endgame.” There are a number of things that make this trailer so unique when compared
Now empowered by the Extremis Serum, Tony confronts Mallen in order to put an end to his reign of carnage once and for all. I did not care for this issue - at least not during my first read through. While I can appreciate a fierce battle - of which this issue definitely has - it occupies such a significant portion of the final issue that it just feels rather bloated, especially since it doesn’t g
Having injected himself with the Extremis Serum, Tony must fight to survive its devastating side effects. In the meantime, while comatose, Tony recalls his time in captivity with Ho Yinsen - the man who both helped save his life and aided him in the construction of the Mark I Iron Man armor. This issue serves as a brief overview of Tony Stark’s - or, rather, Iron Man’s - origin story. While, at t
Left bruised and battered after suffering a devastating loss at the hand of Mallen, Tony find himself left with only one option; fighting fire(breathing) with fire by injecting himself with the Extremis Serum.

Wielding the power of his Iron Man armor, Tony races towards Mallen and company, intent on apprehending them before they can do any more damage. This issue starts off by giving us a better understanding of just how the Extremis Serum works. Unlike the Super Soldier Serum that helped create everyone’s favorite patriot, this serum acts very differently, essentially serving to, “hack the body’s repa
The second issue of “Extremis” picks up shortly after the first, Tony meets up with Maya and the two take a trip to an old acquaintances secluded home to ask for advice regarding the stolen “Extremis” formula. Meanwhile, Mallen, endowed with unimaginable strength from the Extremis Serum, raids an FBI Office. So, to start things off, this issue was incredibly graphic. Which was actually surprising
Released in 2004, “Iron Man: Extremis” served as a soft reboot, wherein the titular characters origin is both altered and modernized. It’s also readers first glimpse at the armor design that would eventually become the basis for the 2008 blockbuster film, “Iron Man.” “Extremis” presents us with a version of Tony Stark who has been Iron Man for a substantial amount of time - albeit, as he does in
Delineating the life of the first person to visit our planets’ natural satellite, “First Man,” serves to highlight not only the incredible journey Neil Armstrong (along with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins) embarked on almost a half century ago, but also illustrates just how remarkable space travel is. “First Man” is chalked full of recognizable faces, and while they all do excellent jobs at port
