Nick Dikran Dourian here again, the 22 year old geek columnist from Last Vegas, Louisiana. With the recent release of Black Panther, I’d like to take this moment to celebrate the successes of diverse heroes in cinema. I’ve compiled a list of the top 4 grossers, and to any knowledgable geek, you’ll immediately recognize these […]

The 22 year old phenom from Las Vegas, Louisiana has finally graced the interwebs with his thoughts on Thor Ragnarok. Shockers…. He loved it. In case you didn’t check it out on his blog earlier, you can jump here to Nick Dourian Reviews He’s the man with a plan and an around gem of a […]
The following review may contain spoilers for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #4. The last few issues of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers have brought us ever closer to the reveal of a few mysteries, many of which pay off in the latest issue. Not only does Rita’s plan involving the crystal and the Dragon Dagger come […]
It’s a bit soon to call Season 6 of My Little Pony the worst. I don’t think many would disagree though that so far a good amount of the episodes have been more on the average side. It seems like the writing is in a bit of a decline when compared to the early seasons. […]
One of the most interesting things about shows of an episodic nature is how gears can vastly shift between installments. A rather non-popular example, but in the show Ultraman MAX there was a very serious emotional episode. The very next one was a full on comedy, and fully aware of that fact. My Little Pony in […]
Christmas stories are commonplace in most shows. My Little Pony had the solid “Hearth’s Warming Eve” back in Season 2 and “Hearthbreakers” in Season 5. Today’s episode is sort of a sequel to the former. I think “A Hearth’s Warming Tail” should have been saved for much later in the year, but that’s a minor […]
It was established way back in the very first episode of My Little Pony that Rainbow Dash’s dream was to be a member of the highly esteemed Wonderbolts. So when you think about it, this week’s episode is one six years in the making. Back in Season 3, “Wonderbolts Academy” was a big one for […]
Interestingly enough, unlike the past couple of seasons there doesn’t seem to be a major continuing plotline for Season 6. The only one of course is Starlight Glimmer as Twilight’s pupil. Beyond that, the series has returned to its Season 1 and 2 episodic nature. It remains to be seen what the culmination of Starlight’s […]
It’s nice to wake up on a Saturday morning knowing a new My Little Pony episode is on the way. (It reminds me of the glorious Saturday morning Fox Box/Kids WB days.) Season 6 premiered with a solid two-parter. It wasn’t the best opener, but still pretty good. Interestingly, unlike the premieres for the last […]
The following review contains spoilers for Jem and The Holograms #13. Ever since Jem and The Holograms began the “Dark Jem” story arc, one problem has been springing to mind. The only people who know about Synergy are Jerrica and her sisters. I guess Techrat knows something about it, as does Eric. But neither of […]
Warning: The following review contains spoilers for Zombie Tramp #21. For the most part, Zombie Tramp is the sort of comic you read when you’re looking for a nice dose of off-the-wall, adult-themed fun. But every once in a while, we’re introduced to a piece of Janey’s past that demonstrates writer and creator Dan Mendoza’s […]
Short breaks between seasons are rare, but certainly welcome. My Little Pony concluded its fifth season back in November. Just four months later and #6 has begun. The last major hiatus was almost a whole year, so this was shocking but no one’s complaining. Season 5 ended rather peculiarly: the redemption of Starlight Glimmer and […]
Warning: Contains mild spoilers for A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong #1. When it comes to Valiant, I like to keep it serious. Bloodshot, Ninjak and Shadowman are usually my go-to favorites. I’ve devoured most issues multiple times and spent way too many hours writing out mock treatments of films that I don’t have […]
The following review contains spoilers for Clean Room #6. This week, Vertigo released the conclusion to their first story arc in horror/sci-fi series Clean Room. It was a bit of a strange ending, and not quite what I expected when I first picked up Clean Room #1 a while back. But then again, you could […]
40 issues later, and My Little Pony is still going strong. How is the latest milestone issue? Let’s take a look. Here’s the official description from IDW: The untold first meeting of Twilight and baby Spike! Twilight is given her most difficult task yet by Princess Celestia when she is told to take care of […]
DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! The following review may contain spoilers for Irwin Allen’s Lost in Space: The Lost Adventures #1! In 1497, five hundred years before the Jupiter 2 left for Alpha Centauri, Girolamo Savonarola convinced a number of his followers to burn a bunch of art and other luxuries during Mardi Gras in Florence. Known […]
Beware, foolish mortals. This review contains spoilers for The Haunted Mansion #1. If you haven’t been to one of the Disney parks to ride The Haunted Mansion, you’re missing out. It’s one of the best rides they have there, right up there with Star Tours and Space Mountain. There’s so much lore behind the mansion […]
Contains spoilers for Mars Attacks: Occupation #1. For those who haven’t read it, Mars Attacks has been one of the greatest franchises at IDW for quite some time. Personally, I got into it due to their excellent crossovers with franchises such as Judge Dredd, Transformers, and The Real Ghostbusters. But I also got really into […]
May contain minor spoilers for I, Mage #2. It’s been a while since I’ve had the privilege of reviewing a comic, which means I missed the last issue of I, Mage. Fortunately, I, Mage #2 is now on the shelves, and I am able to pick up where I left off. If I’d had the […]
