Jan/Feb 2019 round-up

New year, news and reviews

CHVRCHES at Alexandra Palace

At the start of 2019, I tackled three obituaries for Multiversity Comics:

Børge Ring, Danish Animator and Comics Artist, Dead at 97

Ron Smith, "2000 AD" Artist, Dead at 94

Batton Lash, Creator of "Wolff and Byrd," Dead at 65

Black Lightning season 2 resumed, and so did my recaps:

Five Thoughts on Black Lightning's "The Book of Rebellion, Chapter Three: Angelitos Negros"

Like the rest of the staff, I was also roped into reviewing a random episode of this season of Gotham:

Five Thoughts on Gotham's "Ruin"

I also filled in for a colleague to cover February’s sole new episode of Supergirl:

Five Thoughts on Supergirl's "Menagerie"

In February, I saw two excellent films at the cinema, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World and The LEGO Movie: The Second Part, and one disappointment:

Alita: Battle Angel

Can’t just review good films I guess. I did write a little about the final HTTYD film here though:

The Curious Ending of ‘How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’

Back at Multiversity, I did a We Want Comics column speculating about what could be done if a publisher snapped up the wonderful Brooklyn Nine-Nine, now in its brilliant sixth season:

I can’t talk about entertainment these past couple of months without mentioning I saw CHVRCHES (and their support act Let’s Eat Grandma) perform at Alexandra Palace: they were simply epic. I had a lot of fun taking pictures with my new camera:

Something I also did this month that was fun was partake in this daily Twitter challenge:
