Marvel’s Spider-Man: Homecoming – The Nerfed Llamas Review

Packy - Head Llama

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Homecoming – The Nerfed Llamas Review. Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can… or does he? Another summer… another superhero film. Ah, but a new Spider-Man film is not just a superhero movie, it’s a movie featuring my absolute favorite comic book hero of all time. I could hit you with a gushing diatribe about my love for Spider-Man like I did with James Bond and Mass Effect, but I’ll keep it simple: I’ve been reading Spider-Man comics for over 30 years and have read every single issue…

Best TV Series That You’ve Never Heard Of: The Middleman @OKBJGM

Packy - Head Llama

Best TV Series That You’ve Never Heard Of: The Middleman – Clean living was his credo and justice was his bride… Of all of the things I foresaw myself doing in the Summer of 2008, none of them included watching ABC Family at all. It was a network that had never hit my radar, probably because most of the shows were aimed at a far younger audience than I was with premises that did not correlate with my viewing preferences. That all changed when a YouTube promo for a new…

Thoughts on the direction that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 could take – #itsallconnected…again, again, still, and on and on, yadda, yadda, yadda. *** SPOILER FREE: This posting will be spoiler free – so feel free to read safely with the knowledge that if you haven’t seen the series or the season 4 finale, I won’t ruin any of it for you. ***  Last year I did a write up about what I thought might get incorporated into the next season of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I had a lot of fun…

Riverdale Season Premiere Impressions – Archie’s Realistic Mysteries! #Riverdale

Riverdale Season Premiere Impressions – Archie’s Realistic Mysteries! As an avid comic book reader, and an outspoken Archie Comics advocate, it was with some palpable hesitation that I sat through the first episode of the CW’s new TV series Riverdale, which takes elements of the classic comic and sets it smack dab in the middle of the bizarre murder investigation of popular teenager, Jason Blossom . Advertised by the network as “A subversive take on Archie and his friends, exploring small town life, the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome…

2016 Year in Review by Nerfed Llamas #BestOfList #Obligatory

Packy - Head Llama

As was done in 2015, so shall an obligatory list of the stuff that I loved exist for the year of our Lord twenty sixteen. Normally I might pad out this opening paragraph with clever little lines about how this was a year like any other that was mostly OK. Grass was still green, the sky was still blue, and water was still wet… ya’ know, stupid pap like that, but let’s be honest: 2016 sucked. It sucked hard and for a variety of different reasons for a lot of…

The Appeal of Archie Comics: An Answer 77 Years in the Making

Packy - Head Llama

The Appeal of Archie Comics: An Answer 77 Years in the Making I was recently asked the following question in all earnestness by a contemporary: what is the appeal of Archie Comics? At the time, I hastily typed up a response that was informative and concise. I felt that I did a decent job answering the question, but at the same time I couldn’t help but think that a handful of sentences was really selling the legacy of Archie Comics short. So, what actually is the appeal of Archie Comics?…

Thoughts on the direction that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 could take – #itsallconnected 2.0 *** SPOILER FREE: This posting will be spoiler free – so feel free to read safely with the knowledge that if you haven’t seen the series or the season 3 finale, I won’t ruin any of it for you. ***  I have one, and only one, must-watch live network TV show, and that is Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D which is currently broadcast Tuesday evenings on ABC. It is no secret that I am a fan…

Captain America: Civil War: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @Marvel #TeamCap

Captain America: Civil War: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – The Bromance Awakens Much like my review for Batman V Superman, at first I wasn’t going to write it, and then I was, but then I wasn’t again, and now here we are and I’ve already gone ahead and written the datgumm thing. If you are a regular to this blog, then you know that I’m doing a month long tribute to Full Moon Features. As such, I didn’t want this review to take away from my dedication to that…
