Past Aways Issue 9 Review

  This issue is overly reliant on having read all of the previous ones in their entirety. Having done that I can honestly say: "What the hell happened in this issue's latter half?" Without spoiling things I feel Matt Kindt got too philosophical in the latter half of this issue. As for the visuals they seem to tell a slightly different story during the latter half. In other words this series held the promise of being a possible great, but then it somehow got figuratively thrown out someone's mouth post entering the backend.

  Not recommended!

Archer & Armstrong American Pale Ale Opinion Piece 2

Below is my brother and his fiancé's thoughts on the bottled version of Archer & Armstrong American Pale Ale.
The beer had a good "drinkability" in that it was the type of beer that you could have several of and not get sick of the taste.
The medium bodied nature of the beer made it so it wasn't overpowering in any one aspect and created a nice balance. The hops  were noticeable but not to the point where they felt like it was overdoing it.
There seemed to be a slight citrus tinge that was a pleasant surprise.

Overall, we felt this was a solid beer that is a good example of a quality microbrew. My thoughts are that the one night only draft was better for someone who very rarely drinks. Though I have to agree with my brother and his future wife when it comes to the taste of both the draft and bottled versions. However, I think the draft had a slightly nutty taste in draft form which was probably due to the foam.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 10 Issue 29 Review With Spoilers

Warning Of Spoilers!

  The company meeting D'Hoffryn heads seems like something that should have happened sooner. Mainly due to how it disrupts the seasonal story arc's metaphorical eleventh hour. Said metaphorical eleventh hour is also disrupted by the fact that both covers don't really represent the interiors. Finally nothing feels earned including Xander's apparent death and Jonathan's apparently new look and seemingly changed height.

  Not recommended. Though if you are a hardcore fan of BTVS and already have gotten to this point in the series then you might as well get this and the last issue.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 11 Issue 7 Review With Spoilers

Warning Of Spoilers!

   The art, coloring and lettering are fine. However, the characterization and plot are inexcusably weak. We still have no idea what has been going on in a wider scale sense, and with 4 issues to go it feels like beginning with this issue that things are going to be rushed along. There is also the fact that Willow, Buffy, and Spike act due to what the plot needs instead of like characters. Heck, Buffy fans who remember her referencing abuses of civil rights back in Season 4 episode 8 "Pangs" will be pissed at how Christos Gage fails to add a moment there.

     Lastly Buffy, Willow, and Spike fail to consider that allowing Buffy and Willow to be de-powered in order to leave the safe zone/reservation/prison/concentration camp are not going to be targeted by a corrupt government are insane. Examples of why they should be more wary are: Soap Operas, classical literature, comic books from Xander and Andrew's collections, The Council of Watchers, movies, c…
