Why comic books are better than graphic novels
Comic books and graphic novels are widely popular among both children and adults alike, but they are not the same.

Idiots are Important in The Horror Genre
I’ve recently finished watching the first season of a horror show called “From,” on Epix. It’s a fairly unique premise, but if I had to compare it to anything, it'd be a combo of “Lost and Wayward Pines,” but extremely darker.

Titan A.E.: A Review
This is a film that I did not watch until the age of 22. I did not get to experience this movie due to it being released a year after my birth, and the fact that it flopped probably obscured it from my parents when I was old enough to start watching films. However, I think that this is one of those films that is perhaps loved due to the nostalgia the film holds, many of my childhood films are viewed the same way for me.

The concept behind graphic novel
The graphic novel is an emerging form of sequential art that combines the visual and textual storytelling techniques. The concept behind graphic novels is to tell intricate stories using images and words through a fusion of multiple genres that tell a story within a limited number of pages. It is a term coined to differentiate the more mature, complex, and nuanced works of comic artists, which are not intended for children's comic consumption. Graphic novels allow the artists to express their creativity and tackle social, political, and existential themes that are too taboo or too complex for the traditional comic book medium.

The Mandalorian Series Review (Season 3)
The Mandalorian kick-started a new frontier for Star Wars media when it launched in 2019, utilising the smaller screen to create episodic stories that stood outside of the mainline films. After an extended break and some sideshows, the jet-packing hero has returned to take back his home planet. Anyone who got into previous seasons will enjoy this third season, but the action is held back by an unbalanced plot.
