Trench reviews Season 3 of Arrow
***SPOILERS*** This was probably my least favorite season of Arrow so far. The things that didn’t have going for it was that the main villain was a Batman villain that to my recollection Green Arrow never had any contact with. Yeah I know, Comic Book Guy complaint but it’s a pretty major Batman villain. I…

Trench reviews Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD
These are more recommendations rather than reviews but you get the idea. ***MINOR SPOILERS*** Anyway, I liked Season 2 better than the first season. Between the start of the season with HYDRA being in control then working up to Skye’s father along with the Inhumans made for a somewhat jumbled season but it came together…

Trench reviews Season 1 of Gotham
***SPOILERS*** I give it a hesitant thumbs up. It started off great with a great murder mystery of who murdered the Waynes along with Penguin’s chicanery and brutality and Fish Mooney’s plot to overthrow Don Falcone in Gotham’s mob scene. Then halfway through the season the tight writing and great storytelling kind of went off…

Comic of the Week: Convergence The Question #2
***SPOILERS*** While I haven’t been wowed by the Convergence storyline as a whole yet I really did like this issue. Pre-New 52 Renee Montoya, the 2nd Question, had to watch the original Question, Vic Sage, suffer and die slowly of cancer. Now her father is close to the death because of cancer and he hasn’t…

Trench reviews Into the Wild Life by Halestorm
I don’t want to overhype this but Into The Wild Life is the best Halestorm album so far. It is their heaviest album by far and a little more dark than previous albums. Even the ballads are heavy. Now I’m not talking about sacrificing babies in satanic rituals dark but the album has just enough…

Comic Recommendation: The Black Hood
I can’t recommend this comic enough. The Black Hood is about a Philadelphia cop who kills the resident vigilante and then through his personal demons takes over as The Black Hood. Originally I picked this up because I read that it took place in Philly. Writer Duane Swiercyznski is a resident of Philly and does…

Trench’s early impressions of DC Comics’ Convergence
I don’t think I’m dropping any spoilers but just in case you’ve been warned. I Know it’s only the first week of DC Comics’ latest continuity crossover reboot crisis whatever but I’ve come away with two things from it so far. The first is that the concept reminds me a lot of 2013’s Deathmatch by…

Marvel Comics to reboot their universe
Recently it was announced that Marvel Comics will be rebooting their fictional universe with the upcoming Secret Wars storyline much like DC Comics did in 2011 with Flashpoint and the New 52, At first, much like I did in 2011, I was worried that some great stories would become non-canon like the death of Gwen…

Trench Reviews The Flash
***SPOILERS AHEAD*** Ok, I’m over Barry Allen being so young. That said I kind of lied the first episode but I thought it suffered the same problem the first episode of Gotham did, shoving too much into one episode. I know origins are overdone in comic book adaptations but I would have preferred more of…
