It was the geeky gasp held around the world, as a winged metal helmet came flying out of a portal during the epic season 1 finale of The Flash earlier in the year.

Well, gee whiz, thanks for ruining that opening line. But basically what I’m saying is that despite the over-abundance of superhero comic books, the medium actually covers just about any genre. And …
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is a fantastic film, boasting some of the best action the franchise has ever seen. More importantly than that though, it boasts probably the best female character the franchise has ever seen in Rebecca Ferguson’s complex secret agent Ilsa Faust. This being 2015 though, we really should not have to make that distinction as good …
