The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 4 was better than last week but still feels like there is both too much and too little going on.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier stumbled with this episode. While awesome to see Zemo and Sharon Carter again, the pacing is feeling off.

When we got ahold of the core box of Malifaux's English Ivan, we were thrilled to put in some words about the shadow-slinging gentleman.
