Syfy's New Series 'Incorporated' Revisits Well-Travelled Paths
While Syfy's latest series, Incorporated, isn't a reboot of any previous properties, but with the number of tropes it draws from it feels like it might as well be. Take a healthy dose of 1997's Gattica, and a mix of walled-garden variants (you know the ones, where a small community of have-everythings live segregated away from the rest of the have-nothing population), some Demolition Man, and a bit of Judge Dredd for good measure, and you've basically got the setup for Incorporated.
Another Week Of The Walking Dead, Of Meeting New People, And Of Storylines Going Nowhere
At the end of last week's episode we had Jesus and Carl hidden in the back of a cargo truck on the way to find Negan's lair. Great, that's exciting, that means we can get down to business of dishing out some payback.

Moana

With an evolved animation style and set in a world that they’ve never really delved into before (unless you want to count Lilo & Stitch since it was at least set on Kaua’i).
Reborn #2 Doesn't Have The Cojones It Used To Have
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Mark Millar, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion, and FCO Plascencia's second issue of Reborn is a stark departure from the rocket of a first issue. I was fond of the opening issue (would've rated it 4 out of 5, for various reasons, but mostly emotions for the protagonist) but I found a few parts of this one[...]
Ramping Up The Muted Intensity With Becky Cloonan's Southern Cross #9
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Southern Cross #9 is the third part of Becky Cloonan and Andy Belanger's Sci-Fi-pulp/noir themed second act, and it's a bit of a banger! Following on from the trippy psycho-horror of the first volume, the second arc focuses on a grizzled, old detective, dragged back in to investigation after things go sour in the[...]
