One Piece chapter 1090 Review
Well the breaks are killing me and I’ve officially given up on trying to parse Egghead’s structure with all the cutaways, but the larger conflict here is building up in a satisfying way in this (likely) middle stage of volume 108. Seeing Kuro on the cover is cool! Hopefully the live action has put it…

One Piece chapter 1089 Review
This was a cool way to bring things back to the “main” plot, however we’re quantifying that at this stage of the story. It’s a very recappy chapter, but it uses the time it’s taking to go over everything to set up and subvert the reader’s expectations. I think we all knew we weren’t going…

One Piece chapter 1088 review
This is more the kind of chapter I expected to come back from the break on. Colour spread. Jump cover. A meaty 19 pages. The climax and conclusion to the cutaway sequence and a promise of seeing the Strawhats in the next chapter. What else could you want? While this would make a fantastic finale…

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…
