We love Al Ewing here at ComicsXF. The man spent the past five years telling compelling, powerful stories about Storm, Magneto and Arakkii culture. But apparently he also writes Venom? And there’s gonna be some kind of war among all the goo people? And Carnage is still a thing? Honestly, I haven’t cared about a…

Titans’ third season continues with ‘Blackfire’ where Dick takes matters into his own hands and Kori takes Gar on an impromptu roadtrip. Liz Large: We’re back for episode four of Titans, which will hopefully answer some questions raised in last week’s three-episode drop.

Chasin’ the Bird is Dave Chisholm’s telling of Charlie Parker’s tumultuous time in Southern California. And, like Bird’s time in Los Angeles, the many extraordinary highs of this book are weighed down by a few immense, chronic lows that begrudgingly yet necessarily color my view of this work. Chisholm, who holds a doctorate in jazz…
