Now the long hellatus comes… so time to look back at our last Supernatural comic book arc! The Dogs of Edinburgh is the fourth comic miniseries tie-in for Supernatural. It is another prequel story, covering the time when Sam was at Stanford. To follow the graphic novels’ backstory for Supernatural from the beginning, enjoy my narration and review of…
“Sam is so serious,” agrees staff writer Daniel Loflin, who co-wrote the third Supernatural comic series, Beginning’s End, with his screenwriting partner, Andrew Dabb. “That’s one of the things we tried to tackle with the comic books: ‘Why is Sam so serious?’ It’s basically because before Mary died, Dean got to experience life with her…
As I was looking for a way to pass the quarantine summer doldrums, I saw Entertainment Weekly’s list of what it considered to be the 75 most ‘essential’ episodes of Supernatural, leading up to Season 15. Since any excuse for a rewatch is a good excuse, I figured I’d not only invite my Supernatural “Team Free…
Happy (belated) Father’s Day! I really, really wanted to release this on Father’s Day, but things just kept going wrong -like some microphone trouble, which you’ll probably hear. Thankfully, I didn’t have as much go wrong as John Winchester does in this graphic novel series! Nate WinchesterNate Winchester is an aspiring author, blogger, and strangely the…
Yes, I have reviewed this comic before, but that was in the days before I was doing video reviews. I think video reviews actually work better for comics than text articles. Nate WinchesterNate Winchester is an aspiring author, blogger, and strangely the only male writer for The Winchester Family Business.
Welcome to the Supernatural Haiku Episode Guide! During Season 2, when I began writing episode commentaries, I started opening each one with a haiku attempting to capture the plot – a poetic version of a TV Guide listing! – or my emotional reaction to it. I went back and filled in the missing poems during an…
Everyone had such fun with our last roundtable review, we thought that to fill the time during hiatus, we’d do another one! Only this time, let’s go back and review an old episode. The oldest episode in fact. After ten years now, will the pilot look any different to the WFB writers? Does it still…
Ever hear a song that immediately makes you think of a person or a moment in your life, or a scene in a movie or television show. For me it happens all the time, especially with a certain television show we all know and love. In honour of Supernatural I have put together a list…
I can’t wait to buy season nine of Supernatural on Blu Ray—first because I’ll finally have all the episodes commercial free and in crystal clear HD—but secondly because I’ll have the gag reel. I have a tradition during Summer Hellatus of watching the show from the beginning, and as I finish each season I conclude…
This is a new feature I’ll be running for next several weeks, or maybe this is a one time deal if no one likes it. 🙂 I call it Supernatural Fun Facts by Season. You all know how the stories go, but how much do you really know about all the behind the scenes and…
There’s been a lot of hate piled on “Bugs” over the years, and let me just start by saying this: I get it. “Bugs” isn’t a good episode. The pacing is bad, the writing is worse, and the night lasts for like 8 minutes. (8 minutes! There isn’t even a “look at the evening pass”…
While we all try to survive the hellatus, I thought I would write up a retro review on one of my favorite episodes. Since this is my first article with WinchesterFamilyBusiness, I thought it would give you a little “me” information too, to help you see the method in my madness… I am a…
