“A lesson learned is a lesson earned.” Season two of The Clone Wars got underway with this episode on 2 October, 2009.

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) – Micheal Bay
Somehow these movies keep getting made, and even more confusing is how Michael Bay remains at their helm. This for now, is the last stop with the Transformers in the Sci-Fi Chronicles book. I do like the continuity that runs through the series. After the battle of Chicago in the last film, the alliance between…
Quantum Leap (1991) – A Hunting We Will Go, and Last Dance Before an Execution

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002) – George Lucas
The Star Wars films continue as I delve further into George Lucas’ films thanks to the Sci-Fi Chronicles. This time it is the second instalment in the Prequel Trilogy. And while a considerable step-up from The Phantom Menace, this one is still too clunky and too digital. Jonathan Hale helps Lucas out on the…
Batman: The Animated Series (1995) – Showdown, Catwalk and A Bullet for Bullock
The fourth season of Batman: The Animated Series continues this week with this trio of episodes, first up is Showdown, which aired 12 September, 1995. This one is a little different, and may have hinted at what was going to come down the line when the Justice League series started. Batman (Kevin Conroy) and…
Star Wars: Dark Disciple (2015) – Christie Golden
The new Star Wars expanded canon universe is well on its way to being very impressive, and it’s book like Golden’s Dark Disciple that are doing it. Based on a set of unproduced scripts from the Clone Wars series, the book explores a pair of interesting characters and expands on their lives, their emotions,…
Raising Arizona (1987) – Joel Coen
The family fun continues with the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book with this recommendation following my screening of Way Out West. It has been years since I originally watched Raising Arizona, and I had forgotten, for all intents and purposes, all of it, so I was eager to dive into a…
Issues Vol. 17
This week’s pull list has lots to entertain, so thanks to Kirk at West End Comics as always, and he had my new Orphan Black Rachael Duncan Funko figure for me! Captain America: White (Marvel) issue 1, written and art by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, colors by Dave Stewart and letters by Richard Starkings….
Star Wars: Aftermath (2015) – Chuck Wendig
The Journey to The Force Awakens continues… we’ve had the first issue of the comic, and now comes the new novel, set in the newly established timeline, which sadly jettisoned some of the great stories that created the Expanded Universe that have been in place for over two decades. Aftermath picks up a few…
Issues Vol. 14
A bit of a quiet week for my pull-list at West End Comics, but Kirk keeps me informed of what’s coming my way, and there is plenty of good stuff on the horizon… like the new Star Wars title, Shattered Empire!! (SO CLOSE NOW!!) but until then, here’s what I was reading this week… Hank…
