Disney books
Handsome Heroes and Vile Villains: Men in Disney’s Feature Film by Amy M. Davis A semi-sequel to her book Good Girls and Wicked Witches, Davis turns to the portrayal of masculinity in Disney movies from 1934 to 2012.

Ranking W.I.T.C.H. Arcs
Yes, W.I.T.C.H. the arguably bit darker, more convulated rival to Winx Club. I enjoyed this one just as much especially the second season of the tv show that was unfortunately cut too soon. At least there’s plenty of comics to enjoy. I also know there’s eleven arcs, but the US has only released the first…

Loki: Where Mischief Lies Review
Since I enjoyed Lee’s Gamora and Nebula novel, I decided to check out the first of Marvel Icons. Luckily, I know a little about what Loki does in the MCU since The Avengers is the only MCU movie I’ve seen but that doesn’t matter as this is an origin story where we take a fun…

Art Books
Aren’t art books great. You get more insight to some of your favorite shows or movies, see background art in full lush color, creator commentary, insight to production ideas and unseen art. It’s amazing to see how much thought and detail that goes into production. Obviously art books are objective since they usually cater to…

Bravely Review
Here’s another one for International Princess Week and I think the princess in the spotlight today should be obvious. Especially since it’s titled Bravely. I’ll admit I came into this with low expectations as I was not much of a fan of the movie but it absolutely blew me out of the water. Split into…
