I will admit to not be a huge fan of season one of What If?, the animated MCU series that allowed for a bit of fun to emerge into the convoluted world of Marvel – and that allowed some of our dearly departed characters the chance to appear in some more stories (even if not […]

Secret Invasion – Home Review
So, if the radiation at the Skrull compound was so intense that Gravik expected Fury to be a shaking mess even with his iodide pills, just how were all those captured humans able to survive hooked up to the machines for that long? Does pumping them full of iodide keep them alive? Or would there […]
Secret Invasion – Harvest Review
