Marvel--Defenders 44 ★★★★★ It seems cheap to got 5/5 back-to-back, but that's how I feel about this portion of the run. Val is Val. Strange's return is tight. Love the men doing their things whilst the gals do theirs. It's just good fun. #marvel #defenders #comics

Metroid Prime 4:Beyond–thoughts on narrative more than completion What bothered me about Metroid Prime 4 isn’t that it signals its ending from the beginning — that’s about all it does. It’s that the signal, much like the game itself, is more self-referential than forward-moving. Everything in this…

Marvel--Defenders 43 ★★★★★ What amazing fun. Absolutely a joy. Pulpy, campy, over the top awesome. This is how comics should feel. Everyone shines, Hulk is top notch. And I can't say enough about the villains, a psychic mind-meld, and communism coming to know freedom. #marvel #defenders #comics

Metroid Prime 4 has a lot going for it—solid combat, fun environments, and decent pacing—but it has its flaws. It’s definitely worth playing, and I’d be happy to see what Retro would do with a fifth entry. #metroidprime4 #nintendo

Marvel--Defenders 42 (real one) ★★★★☆ Man, this mini-arch is fun. Some fantastic art, and a great layering of super villain grin. Guess the fans hated the new duds on Val. #marvel #defenders #comics

Marvel--Defenders 42 ★★★★☆ Solid art. The story is as beautifully weird as it needs to be. Still my favorite flavor of Hulk. Also, we legit get an amazing line. #marvel #defenders #comics

Marvel Legends—Sentinel ★★★★☆ New Sentinel is solid. Wish I had two of him at the same price. #marvel #marvellegends #actionfigures.

Marvel--Defenders 40 ★★★★☆ Solid transition. I like the new outfit, and this has one of THE most accurate line for this run. Full stop. #marvel #defenders #comics

Marvel--Defenders 39 ★★★★☆ FINALLY Val gets free, and Luke Cage is always a treat. I'm ready to move to a new storyline. #marvel #defenders #comics

X-Men ‘97 Sentinel
