Let’s talk about the black sheep of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, though that’s a loaded statement because depending on who you talk to the culprit might be any number of things. Someone deeply enamored with the original Mirage series might claim that the original cartoon is a bastardization of the characters, while othersContinue reading “The Sins of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation”

Es-Cape Plan Episode Five: Dice
Why I’m doing this…Previously on The Cape… Today’s episode features some of the creepiest interplay we’ve had in this series, which isn’t saying much since everyone save Trip has been able to interact like normal human beings. Speaking of Trip, we see him and his mother Dana so little in this episode in such disposableContinue reading “Es-Cape Plan Episode Five: Dice”
Revisiting X-Men: “Have Yourself a Morlock Little X-Mas”
In the early nineties, two animated series came along that literally changed the game going forward. There was Batman: The Animated Series which is still heralded as one of the great cartoons of our era for its distinctive art style and episodes which didn’t dumb themselves down (too much, at least) for its intended gradeContinue reading “Revisiting X-Men: “Have Yourself a Morlock Little X-Mas””
CWisis on Infinite Earths: The Flash
This episode has a lot to do. As the last episode before the hiatus, it has to make sure that the story has progressed to a certain point where we want to come back, and on that point it succeeds. Mia and Constantine are still trying to revive Oliver, but now they have Diggle onContinue reading “CWisis on Infinite Earths: The Flash”
CWisis On Infinite Earths: Batwoman
The second episode of the CWisis was a little slower than the first, with everyone breaking off into groups to find Paragons who are seemingly the only ones able to save the Multiverse. The most important addition might be various Legends and an alternate universe version of their ship, the Waverider, along with an alternateContinue reading “CWisis On Infinite Earths: Batwoman”
CWisis on Infinite Earths: Supergirl
BEWARE: THERE ARE SPOILERS HERE, OBVIOUSLY. Now, we’re not going to be going over scene-by-scene like the Es-Cape Plan reviews or the revisits but, instead, I’m just going to a general overview of things along with some neat things I noticed. The episode starts with Harbringer bringing everyone to Earth-38 (Supergirl’s Earth, which I justContinue reading “CWisis on Infinite Earths: Supergirl”
Revisiting The Venture Brothers: “A Very Venture Christmas”
I know what you’re asking: how can you revisit a show that, for all intents and purposes, is still airing even if it’s airing very infrequently? For that, I’m simply deferring to the fact that this remains one of my favorite shows and this particular special aired in 2004, which at this point is fifteenContinue reading “Revisiting The Venture Brothers: “A Very Venture Christmas””
Es-Cape Plan Episode Four: Scales
Why I’m doing this…Previously on The Cape… This episode doesn’t introduce anyone new, opting instead to take all the elements it’s introduced thus far and shaking them up for what might be its best episode yet. Best of all, Trip and Dana were kept to a minimum. It’s Trip’s tenth birthday and Dana is unableContinue reading “Es-Cape Plan Episode Four: Scales”
Es-Cape Plan Episode Three: Kozmo
Why I’m doing this…Previously on The Cape… All our major characters were detailed in the intro to the last article so we won’t do it again. The only thing of note is that I’ve decided that I’m going to going to go ahead and spoil the Trip and Dana stuff at the beginning, and byContinue reading “Es-Cape Plan Episode Three: Kozmo”
Es-Cape Plan Episode Two: Tarot
Why I’m doing this…Previously on The Cape… Before we begin this week’s review, let’s quickly review our major characters: Vince Faraday (David Lyons) is the bearer of the titular Cape, which also serves as his super-hero name. He was framed for crimes he didn’t commit, left for dead, and rescued by some carnival workers whoContinue reading “Es-Cape Plan Episode Two: Tarot”
