A relatively conventional plot such as this may seem out of character for the Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland sci-fi comedy cartoon, but this book's approach to it is completely in step with the show. Much of the book's dialogue is devoted to Jerry's eponymous inadequacy, with Beth and Rick chastising him constantly for his reluctance[...]

The season finale rocked. That’s probably the best way for me to phrase it. I’ve been pleased and disappointed throughout the entire fourth season of the CW's iZombie - but mostly disappointed. The season finale turned out to be the epitome of perfection and embodied everything I've loved about series.

Things are really heating up for Jesse (Dominic Cooper), Tulip (Ruth Negga) and Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) - and it's all happening before they even resume their "Search for God." With AMC's Preacher set to return in a few weeks, the network released the series' first official trailer.

Archie Comics comedy tropes and ill-timed pop culture references are set aside wanton bloodshed and death Moose can be doing his "Duh, which way did he go?" routine before someone gets brutally eviscerated. Also, ironically referring to your story as a "bad Teen Wolf script" doesn't make it automatically not that. The story is solidly paced and[...]

Woody reluctantly follows. Quantum + Woody #6 cover by Ariel Olivetti Quantum + Woody #6 shifts gears significantly by not being a comedy at all This installment is quite dramatic and, at times, pretty damn gut-wrenching Thankfully, it works really well In fact, this might be my favorite issue of the series so far. Instead of the clash[...]

However, the characters are simply crammed into generic high school drama/comedy roles, and the reader is left to be bored with how traditional the plot and execution really is The art is quite good, but it doesn't save the narrative It is funny at times, and Faith is as endearing as ever It's not so[...]

The Lumberjanes enjoy an elaborate fantasy tabletop game while a trio of girls explore a series of elaborate tunnels underground. Plus, a backup story delves into some camp history. Does it make for a good read?

Although it had moments of comedy — with Ravi over-indulging in selfies and exposing too much skin — it left a bad taste in my mouth I'm not sure why Her murder tied in nicely to "Brother Love" and his clan though Apparently, Angus (Robert Krepper) is using his power to put out hitlists Angus[...]

Stresing Invader Zim #30 is a far funnier installment for the series compared to the previous issue, which relied far too much on pointing out how stupid its own story is and pairing words with "poop." Invader Zim has always succeeded on crude and random humor mixed with surrealism, black comedy, and social allegory, and this installment[...]

With production currently underway on Jane the Virgin creator/showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman‘s reboot of supernatural series Charmed for the CW, series co-star Sarah Jeffery (Maggie, youngest sister of The Vera Sisters) took to Twitter over the Memorial Day weekend to respond to outspoken critics.

Netflix has released a trailer for their upcoming comedy special starring Steve Martin and Martin Short, An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest Of Your Life The pair have of course been bastions of the comedy world for decades (not a crack at their respective ages, just the facts, folks), and this Netflix special is just the[...]

This week's episode of the CW's iZombie was nothing less than a tear jerker. I wish I would have gotten the memo and had time to pick up a box of tissues...but that’s okay: being cleverly adaptable, I used a roll of toilet paper instead. [SPOILERS]
