Comic Corner: Angels and aliens
The character of Angela comes from the minds of Todd McFarlane and Neil Gaiman, the writers who originally brought us Spawn and the Sandman. As you would expect, there are heavy religious themes surrounding her in Angela: Asgard’s Assassin.
Jupiter ascends to sci-fi fluff
The Wachowski siblings made a name for themselves with The Matrix Trilogy, becoming known for their creative world-building and originality. That’s exactly what they deliver in their new sci-fi epic Jupiter Ascending.

Shelf Indulgence: One hotel, slightly haunted
Kate Racculia’s Bellweather Rhapsody is a hotel story that mirrors other hotel stories. Imagine, if you will, that Wes Anderson had written and directed The Shining. Four characters?

Comic Corner: One too many reboots
Star Wars is at it again, creating yet another reboot of the franchise, this time in a comic series set around the time of the original Star Wars trilogy. A regular edition has been put out by Marvel, with a variant cover edition exclusive to Loot Crate, but I’m not totally convinced it’s worth picking up.
