The really bad news first: it has somehow, implausibly, gruesomely, been 10 years since 2015. I know. This means it has been just shy of 10 years since The Force Awakens inaugurated a whole new era of things for Star Wars fans to be apoplectically upset about, and 10 years since Marvel began publishing Star…
When TV shows cared about Nielsen ratings, ad rates would be set based on how well a show performed during a very specific portion of the year called “Sweeps Week”. To goose the system, shows would bring out all the stops with big episodes, guest stars, all of that. We honor that tradition as the…
For our first Redesign challenge of 2025, we decided to do something a little different. Rather than pick one character for everyone to redesign as has been custom, we asked all the participants this time to pick a character they want to see get more attention this year. Everyone gave their character a new look…

I first met Ryan Alexander-Tanner when, writing as “Teebore,” I left comments on his Full House Reviewed website, where Ryan, as “Billy Superstar,” was reviewing (and hilariously excoriating) every episode of the terrible-but-foundational ’80s/’90s sitcom Full House. Bonding over our shared love of awesomely terrible and terribly awesome shows as well as — importantly —…

It’s always a good time for us to return to the runs that we’re following in order. This time, things go from bad to worse in No Man’s Land, Dick Grayson investigates Wayne Manor for clues to Bruce Wayne’s whereabouts while Damian has a strange encounter with Oberon Sexton, and the magical war in the…
