Welcome to this review of this past Friday’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, right here on Nerdly. This week’s episode reportedly had some issues behind the scenes that meant, allegedly, the show was put together on the fly. Let’s see how that pans out… Match #1: The Viking Raiders def. Jinder Mahal & Shanky The […]

Written by Andrew Wheeler | Art by Travis Moore | Published by Image Comics This was a purely random pick-up from me, but one with some logic attached. Firstly, it’s Image, and lately that has been quite the mark of quality. There have been some great books coming out from them of late, and Marvel […]
Welcome to this week’s review of NXT 2.0, a show that – if I’m honest – rarely gets me excited to watch the programme these days. This week’s show is the Great American Bash episode… NOT a pay-per-view, just a themed show for the Independence Day celebrations. Let’s see what it has to offer! Match […]

In my review of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars episode four I talked about how this season has proven the expression “expectation usually leads to disappointment” wrong. We have been waiting for years for the show to create a season entirely made up of queens who overcame their competitors. The queens have had time since […]
[Note: This article contains spoilers for Volume One] If you’re reading this article, there’s an extremely high chance that you’ve not only watched Stranger Things 4 Volume 1, but you probably loved it just like the rest of the world.

Written by Gail Simone | Art by Phil Noto | Published by Marvel Comics This is one of those books that knew it would be taking our money from the very start. Firstly, its multiverse stuff.

I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of the legendary legend stars (which are essentially glorified badges) that are awarded to the best performing queens from each episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars. I understand that these are simply a placeholder to identify the top four queens in the finale, […]
