MAD About DC

MAD About DC (2026)

★★★

“What publication is even less respected than comic books? One that can make me feel better by comparison?” That’s when it hit me: MAD Magazine

An April Fools one-shot of a bunch of DC’s writers and artists making short comedy. It was pretty hit or miss. A whole lot of milenial humor of “Had we really did this stupid thing?”. A small bit of really smart pages that made me giggle. So yea the cover is not lying, comedy is subjective. And i don’t like most modern comedy because i have taste

I liked Weid’s, Coover’s, North’s and Taylor’s sketches

Marathon | Reveal Cinematic Short (2025)

★★★★★

I don’t like Gen Z memes, but i cannot describe this short as anything but PEAK CINEMA!!! ⌊( ・_・)⌋

The Killing Joke

Batman – The Killing Joke (1988)

★★★

It is a classic story. I don’t really like it. Moore written better works and modern recolored editions look like they were made by amatures who just opened Photoshop and not original artist

Project Hail Mary

Project Hail Mary (2026)

by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller

★★★★★

This movie is full of small fascinating details for fans of space. And it is one of the few realistic sci-fi movies that are not going into full on cyberpunk. And i am sure this is the first movie in this century with first contact being a real problem to solve and not just shorthanded to move the story faster

And of cource, i miss seeing competent people saving the world

P.S. This is somehow third time this week i hear about Tau-Ceti system, it seems like a neat place

Yakuza 0

Yakuza 0: Director's Cut

★★★★★

In short 42 hours i finished Yakuza 0, and i must say that it was a very interesting gaming experience. And that is because it is two games in one, and it is not because of the two protagonists i played as

Daredevil: Born Again 1-4

Daredevil: Born Again — Season 2 E1-4

MOTORSLICE DEMO

MOTORSLICE Demo (2025)

by Regular Studio

★★★

Meet the, Potencial Game!! queue tf2 music

Cool setting(without proper level-design), anime tan with a chainsaw(and no character), diagetic camera drone(that makes me puke), parkour in megastructure(that is just not working properly)

So it is a cool concept, but realised poorly and needs some work done before going into a full version

FANTASTIC FOUR 5

Fantastic Four Volume 5 - Aliens, Ghosts, And Alternate Earths (2025)

by Ryan North

★★★★★

Wanna see how I can light myself on fire?

This volume has my favorite story of the run in the 25th issue. And overall makes a nice prelude to the Our World Under Doom

PSEUDOREGALIA

Pseudoregalia (2023)

by rittzler

★★★★

It is a great and short game and any platformer-fan must play it. Great physics, cool moves of the heroine, atmospheric locations, retro style remenising of N64, but also no story and ultimatly lacking combat. Still it is exactly what i wanted from Motorslice’s Demo, but made good. It was a nice small game for a couple evenings of jumping around as a [goat/bunny/cat]-girl

STRATO-SPEAR

STRATO-SPEAR (2022)

by rittzler

★★★

A small prototype of a DMC-like made for a jam. Pretty good combat basis, completed in about 15-20 minutes, not too hard. Downloaded because wanted to see what else Pseudoregalia’s dev made

SIFU 52

Sifu (2023) — Age 52, Student

by Sloclap

★★★★★

For a game known for it’s difficulty this was a pretty easy and fun run. I got through it for just 4 hours and 32 deaths of which 10 were gotten from Yang, 6 from the Artist and 5 from CEO

Now i need to complete it with higher difficulty so i would curse myself for saying that it was easy >:)

Understanding Comics

Understanding Comics — Invisible Art

by Scott McCloud

★★★★★

It’s at the core of art that are most important question is finally asked: “Why am I doing this?”

This is a comic about comics. what can be better? Getting into the deep ends of history and the core reasons behind creativity and art itself, of course :)

Seriously, you think i had renewed this book at the library and still returned it late for “prolonging my enjoyment”? I had read it twice and later torrented the digital copy only to reread it later while taking notes

OPUS

Opus (1995-1996)

by Satoshi Kon

★★★★★

Kon’s best works are cursed, and this one is not an exeption. It explores a bunch of very complex themes and on the moment where it gets to the point of catarsis, the book just ends because of external problems

I still highly recommend everybody who is into art to read this thing. Of course it is not as profound and genius as Kon’s movies, but it is still a good as his first work with his style of breaking perception of reality. Like in the moments of panel breaking, city background just falling over like it’s made out of cardboard, or even playing with 3 levels of narrative reality

Anyway, this manga ended in the best way it could. I genuenly have no idea how else it might end other than the sudden intervention from boring reality

Nier: Automata K

Nier: Automata (2017) — aji wo [K]utta

by Yoko Taro

★★★★★

Oh no… I forgot to save…

I had completed Nier: Automata for the third time. This time though i have no excuses for my stupidity, i was warned about not eating the fish, but i just eaten it

As a result of this action, 2B had all her bodily fluids congealed, muscles paralyzed and her last thought before sweet embrace of death was “It was good, though, exquisite even. No wonder humans used to eat them…”. And that’s how i got another set of credits and aji wo [K]utta ending

Ultimate Invasion 1-4

Ultimate Invasion (2023)

by Jonathan Hickman, drawn by Bryan Hitch

★★★

And so, what exactly does one do with the full knowledge of their enemies and the unlimited capacity to engage them before they even have the faintest idea that you exist?

It’s simple really. Whatever one wants.

This is a prelude for the second Ultimate Marvel Universe. And it was a very average comic. And it is the same situation as with DC’s Absolute Universe.

But the world this book introduced looks promising

Ultimate Universe 1

Ultimate Universe (2023)

by Jonathan Hickman, drawn by Stefano Caselli

★★★★★

Why they made this part of Ultimate Invasion into a separate one-shot? I have no idea

But this one was definetly a better story than Invasion. It shows us how Iron Lad and Doctor Doom get their revolutionary crew together. And now Maker’s cabal reacted on his sudden disappearance. Spoiler they gone with the act of domestic terrorism

Absolute Superman 15-17

Absolute Superman #15-17 — "The never-ending begins" (2025-2026)

by Jason Aaron, art by Juan Ferreyra

★★★★★

Proper status quo Absoulute Superman was pretty good. This small arc continues breadcrumb trail from the Absolute Evil. Hawkman sucks in the best way possible. Clarks daily life is fascinating and shows that realistic and gritty Superman still can and should be a kind person. Parasite given me some long needed dose of body-horror. And Absolute Lex Luthor is a kindest and chillest family guy ever. Untill Brainiac comes to his home

And this part was truly painful to watch. Especially the reveal page on which Lex just sits alone in the aftermath of the massacre that Brainiac done for some idiotic reason. The only thing the open brain accomplished by that was gaining the enemy potentially far worse than any kryptonian

One Piece - Season 1

One Piece — Season 1

★★★★★

Wealth. Fame. Power. I found everything this world has to offer. Free yourselves! Take to the seas! My treasure is yours to find.

I rewatched first season and i must say that it is still the best currently running adaptation of the manga that i hadn’t read yet :)

Currently waiting for season 2

Nier: Automata A

Nier: Automata (2017) — flowers for m[A]chines

by Yoko Taro

★★★★

…become as gods! …become as gods! …become as gods! …become as gods! …become as gods!

I finally really finished Nier: Automata. And i finished it on the flowers for m[A]chines, and i had been under impression by it

A very confusing impression that needs a semi-philosophical ramble of text

One Piece - Season 2

One Piece — Into the Grand Line

★★★★★

I cannot state enough how much i missed One Piece from my life.

Genuinely i missed this crew. Even if i dropped anime after Thriller Bark because it was unwatchable with it’s pacing.

But live action TV adaptation of One Piece cannot afford the sluggish pacing of anime and needed to go through first half of Alabasta Saga with only 8 hours, which is about 80 time less than anime needed for that. Surprisingly they even added some stuff that was reckoned in later chapters in current episodes…

the Stranger

The Stranger

by Albert Camous

★★★★

That’s all for today, Monsieur Antichrist

I’ll be honest, i had read this book only to prove to myself that i could read a full book. And this book was chosen only because it was short. I really hadn’t liked it that much

I understand that this is a classic, but it is visible that Albert had put in this book everything he could

But it is inherently funny that the monsieur Mersault got the french king’s treatment de facto for having a pokerface on his mother’s funeral

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind — Volume 1

First volume of “Nausicaä” is great, i love it. The art is marvelous, heroine is interesting, aircrafts here got charisma, bugs are disgustingly charming, and the story raises the issues we still have in current day

SANDSTORM

Absolute Batman 18

Absolute Batman #18

by Scott Snyder and Eric Canete

★★★

What a disappointing mess. Ivy was beaten by pointing a gun at her still human heart. And Batman in the end shot her anyway because fuck her i presume. What he expected by that? Snapping last straw between her humanity and godhood? And Bruce got not one but two pep-talks with Gordon and got nothing from them

Steel Ball Run 1

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run — Episode 1

★★★★★

JoJo 7 is out!!! And i love it! Seriously it was a perfect episode to start the best part of the series. If you have no idea what JoJo is, then watch this episode. You’ll not loose any context, this is a series reboot. But that’s a pity that other episodes will come out god knows then, to be fair we have a manga

Wonder Woman – Black & Gold Special 1

Wonder Woman – Black & Gold Special #1 (2026)

★★★

It was a nice and simple anthology comic about Wonder Woman. All of the stories had a very different tone, so it gone from pseudo-philosophy on human nature of dillusion to a funny kid story about somebody stealing peaches

I had really liked only the last story in here

Studio

Studio (2026)

★★★

It was a fun show exept for episode 9 which was going with Rogen’s ol’ reliable drug joke for the whole episode

Shooting the whole show in a sequence of long takes is a very odd choice, but it works

“The Missing Reel” was a very stupid but fun parody of neo-noir detectives

★★★★★

It’s a nice city.

This small fan made comic about Marvel Universe. It’ main question stands as “Why heroes had chosen New York”. And the answers we get are all different from different people including the heroes themselves, but most of them boil down to “it’s New York, of cource they live in here”

Absolute Wonder Woman Annual

by Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis

★★★★

Honestly out of the annual issue i expected more. Of course it was good to see how much compassion Diana is holding and how she was impacted by her temporary transformation into Medusa. And it was good to see her try to fix real Medusa’s curse after feeling how torturous this form was. But it could’ve been done better

Absolute Batman #17

In this episode of “Life and torture of Bruce Wayne” we finally have long awaited debut of Poison Ivy. And damn she is fabulous, especially in her true form

This issue has three plots run simultaneously. First is Bruce’s daily life going to hell. Second is Ivy’s origin full of delightful deranged philosophy. And third happens in current time with Ivy taking over the center of Gotham and corrupting it with her idea of “the Seventh Kingdom of Life”

Lil Gator Game (2021)

by MegaWobble

★★★★★

It was the cutest game i’ve played. There is a whole bunch of cute animals you help to deal with some minor problems. And then you get everybody to make a cool fort out of cardboard. And also it is about how adulthood looks from kids perspective, and how hard it is to get adults into having fun

It is short, it is sweet, it is fun. Play it!

Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: Memes. The DNA of the soul. They shape our will.

After finishing all of Bayonetta and MGS1 i got to this one. And it is the best of both worlds: absurd style of Bayo and a very fun but depressing in retrospective story of Metal Gear
