Review: Samurai Jack #12
Samurai Jack has come back with a bang. I didn’t quite agree with the whole silence issues, but now that we are on a new story arc, I see why everyone loves this comic.
Review: Bee and Puppycat #4
I first found out about Bee and Puppycat when a woman I was dating sent me a link to the initial animated short Natasha Allegri had created for a Kickstarter campaign. The show I saw completely charmed me with its two leading characters, and the absurd turns their story took, culminating in Puppycat taking Bee on an extra dimensional trip to score them a few bucks.
Review: Butterfly #1
Butterflies are a lot like mustaches. I don’t mean in their, I dunno, biological makeup? I’m speaking more of their shared iconographical appropriation. See, mustaches used to be either robust or hilarious; verdant badges worn proudly by the brave, until a bunch of shit-stain hipsters stole them...without actually being able to properly grow one. The same is true of butterflies. Sorta.
Review: Dash #1
It’s taken me a bit to find the right words for this review and there’s a chance that I still haven’t found them, but that’s the risk of every review.
Review: Roche Limit #1
According to the Internet, a “Roche limit” is the distance at which a manmade or natural satellite, held together by its own gravitational pull (rather than simply being a solid mass), will be pulled apart by the gravity of a larger or more tidally-charged celestial body, like a planet.
Review: Low #3
Low issue 3 is a huge turnaround from where the series has been, and it owes itself as much to a tonal shift in the writing as it does to a newfound clarity in the art that really works.
Review: The Empty Man #4
Unlike some, I am not typically what you might call a “horror guy.” Don’t get me wrong, I like a good scare, but modern horror - be it in film, comic books or otherwise - seems to be complacent in eliciting its fright through gratuitous gore, rather than the psychological stuff that cranks my tractor. It is the implied - that which lurks at the periphery of the story - which, for me, terrifies the most and leaves a lasting impression. In terms of gore, less is more.
Review: Elfquest: The Final Quest #5
It feels so long since the last issue of Elfquest has graced the shelves of comic book stores everywhere. But don’t worry, Wendy and Richard Pini have heard our fandom cries and have soothed our need with issue 5. Last month left us hanging when Teir fell off a cliff and Ember was still in the clutches of the evil human, Djun.
Dual Review: G.I. Joe #1
Well originally this was to be a group review, but so many people dropped out after reading it that it came down to just Nick and Dustin covering the book. That might be all you need to know about the issue, but they’re still going to give you their opinion and scores.
Review: X-O Manowar #29
This issue’s focus shifts to Malgam because the Hunters have fallen. As Aric heals, he recognizes the difficult life he leads while bonded to the symbiotic armor. The displaced Visigoth king strikes a deal with Colonel Capshaw resulting in his namesake and rank.
Review: Wayward #2
That was a drastic change. After initially being pitched as a comic in the realm of the best of Buffy, Wayward is already looking to tackle themes that Buffy didn’t get around to until the latter half of its TV run (the comics never happened in my reality).
Review: Beatrice Is Dead: City of Ash Review
Of all the indie comics I have read, few have made an impact on me quite so much as Beatrice Is Dead. It is a disturbing, yet beautiful book that tells a unique story in an interesting way.
Review: Tyranny of the Muse #1
I kind of needed this book this week. I started part time work in a comic shop this year, and one of the creeping realizations that came with the job was realizing just how much the industry really does rely on blind nostalgia and collector baiting.
Review: Argent Starr #1-2
I couldn't really describe Argent Star in any real detail. Its fluff, a bit overstuffed with too many characters and plotlines that I couldn't quite follow the action or motivations of the cast. The book is pretty pleased with its own coolness, even including a glossary of over a dozen alien slang words for you to consult if you want to decode some of the comic's dialogue.
Mini-Reviews: Deadly Class #7, Shutter #6, The Strain: TNE #2, Savage Dragon #198 and More!
Big disclaimer here...Over the weekend, I was able to successfully prove Newton's Theory of Motion as my action of slipping while getting out of the shower had an equal and opposite reaction (I smashed the back of my head on a toilet). As I laid there, partially conscience, staring at the ceiling and pondering my predicament, a sudden thought occurred to me that I had a metric shit ton of reviews to do that I might be unable to do. What to do? Yes, "do" seemed to reverberate around my head for some reason.
Review: Doberman #3
The titular Doberman sports a mullet, bulging muscles and ever-present sunshades. Seeing him in all his glory on the cover, I was convinced that it would be a comedy parodying testosterone cop dramas like Lethal Weapon. Instead what I found inside was more tonally in sync with a straight up homage, Jack Lambert missing out on opportunities to skewer the genre and instead go for shtick that was tired ten years ago.
Review: Itty Bitty Bunnies in Rainbow Pixie Candy Land: Saves X-Mas #1
Let’s get this out of the way early. This review won't be long because this is among the least funny things I've experienced lately.
Review: Purgatori #1
I was pretty excited about Dynamite giving Purgatori her own series again. She’s the character I remember the most from Chaos! Comics’ olden days and so her getting a huge push in the Chaos! series and then also a solo series was a nice surprise.
Review: Grimm Tales of Terror #3
For some reason, this issue of the series came just two weeks after its predecessor. The story feels like it was written in that two weeks’ time.
Review: Stray Bullets – Killers #7
Stray Bullets: Killers bucks the current trend of comics where we have to get small, well-packaged arcs that fit easily into trades.
