BREAKING PEWS Steam Sale going on right now! THE STACK The Wicked + The Divine #1, Image Comics Gillen McKelvie (W), Wilson Cowles (A) Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead. The team behind critically thermonuclear floor-fillers Young Avengers and PHONOGRAM reunite to start a new ongoing superhero fantasy with a beautiful oversized issue. Welcome to THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, where gods are the ultimate pop stars. But remember: just because you're immortal, doesn't mean you're going to live forever. THE GOOD: 39 pages of gorgeous artwork and coloring. THE BAD: What the hell is going on? FINAL RATING: 3 PEWS MPH #2, Image Comics Mark Millar (W), Duncan Fegredo (A) A good guy dealt a tough hand, Roscoe's found the perfect Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card in the form of super-speed pills called MPH. Now that he knows who put him away, he'll find that revenge is a dish best served...lightning fast! The all-new Millarworld Universe zooms ahead at breakneck speed with Millar and Fegredo's urban adventure tale. THE GOOD: It’s always fun to see what “normal people” would do if they had super powers, and we get to see Roscoe and his crew do that in this issue. In fact, they may be getting the “fun stuff out of the way”, as it seems things are gonna get real with Mr. Springfield in the next issue. THE BAD: Did I say this art was super good last issue? Maybe I was blinded by the interesting concept, but it’s not super great now that I have another issue in my hand. Proportions are really off. Also, most of the issue is basically just dicking around, so it doesn’t really move the story forward, save for Roscoe getting revenge on his boss, which, by the way, I thought was gonna be a dragged out process. FINAL RATING: 3 PEWS KEEPIN’ IT REEL   Chef, Open Road Films Jon Favreau, John Leguizamo, Emjay Anthony, Sofia Vergara A chef who loses his restaurant job starts up a food truck in an effort to reclaim his creative promise, while piecing back together his estranged family. THE GOOD: Very real and believable story. Social media is handled very well within the film and understood. The culinary aspects are authentic and relatable. Fantastic plot with proper pacing, supported by great acting. THE BAD: Personal things like lack of closer with Scarlet Johansson's character, or Emjay possibly being a bit too young for the role. Nothing that truly takes away from the film, however. FINAL RATING: 5 PEWS

[rating:4/5] Major Spoilers Poll of the Week Major Spoilers Poll of the Week: This week, Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens in theaters across the United States and more than a few staff members are geared up for an opening night premiere. That means someone (Young Zach) is going to have to queue up extra early to ensure everyone gets a ticket, popcorn, candy, extra large soda, and a place to sit. It really is a lot of work just to see one movie on opening night. It makes one wonder if seeing a movie on opening night is really that important.
