One Piece chapter 1087 review
It is well and truly good to be back! May we never have to go so long between chapters again. There’s nothing particularly special about this return chapter – only 15 pages, no colour spread to save it for the anniversary next week – it really just picks up where the series last left off…

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom review
This review is spoiler-light, alluding to mid and lategame story elements without going into detail. Gameplay elements discussed should all have featured in promos and trailers. I share some details about a specific gameplay sequence from the first dungeon. In 2017, Nintendo published The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, representing a landmark take…

Metroid Dread review
I would very much like to be copying a great big Tears of the Kingdom review from its Word doc into this space right now, but even having finished the game a week ago, I think that one needs time to cook. Instead, I want to take a look back at one of the last…

One Piece chapter 1086 review
You know what? This is enough to satisfy me for a month’s hiatus. It’s plenty. No complaints, and I hope Oda’s recovering smoothly from his eye surgery. Beams and everything. We’re three for three of really likable Jump covers lately, and I really enjoy seeing characters other than Luffy share these things. I hope all…

One Piece chapter 1085 review
What a chapter to come back from the break on, this is huge. And we’re not even at the end of volume 107 yet, so what could possibly top this next week? The Void Century and founding of the World Government continue to be teased in drips and drops, more implication than explicit detail, everything…

White Sand omnibus review
White Sand was the last piece of Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere I tracked down when I first got up to date and I almost immediately reached the conclusion that it is the universe’s worst story, and that it wasn’t close. It was a slog to get through, and until my reread I could not have told…

One Piece chapter 1084 review
That is a powerful Jump cover this week, Luffy is looking damn good. And then on the flip side we have a very fanservice-y colour spread. We say ‘fanservice,’ but really these things seem to be authorservice as much as anything else. Oda draws like he’s just discovered that the t shirt and bikini bottom…

One Piece chapter 1083 review
Well colour me surprised that we’re not just continuing straight on with the scene that ended the last chapter but going into what seems to be a full-fledged, multi-chapter Reverie flashback. This is not guaranteed of course – most flashbacks end mid-chapter with the black panel gutters fading back to white, but there were also…

One Piece chapter 1082 review
I’m on around my third chapter’s worth of saying let’s get back to Egghead already, but Oda keeps giving me things I’m not asking for that manage to greatly entertain me regardless. I’m starting to wonder how much of volume 107 we’re going to spend away from the main plot at this point. If volume…

Choo Choo Charles Review
Choo Choo Charles is an experience I really, genuinely wish I could recommend more than I do. Had it been a free or Pay What You Want Itch.io experience I might be telling everyone I knew to run off and play it and give Two Star Games as many pageviews and word of mouth connections…
