Review: Hadrian's Wall #2
By Patrick Larose
Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with being a good one of those.
Hadrian’s Wall is a murder mystery, or rather, a locked-room detective story set in space. One where a would-be detective investigates a mysterious death aboard a space station only the victim here isn't some random astronaut but instead the investigator’s former best friend and his ex-wife’s current husband. Out here in the quiet dark of space, everyone's a suspect and everyone has something to hide.
Review: Tomb Raider #9
By Mike Badilla
We begin Tomb Raider #9 with a flashback to Lara's childhood, a situation where she was playing with some other children in a sandbox. She discovers a bone and shows the other children, only to have them scream and run away. Lara remembers feelings of loneliness such as this, as she had interests that were different than most other children.
Review: Night's Dominion #2
By Laramie Martinez
After an outstanding first issue, Ted Naifeh is back with Night’s Dominion #2! Picking up right where we last left our odd bunch of thieves, this issue is, on top of being a great heist issue, another well paced introductory issue, with some twists and turns for good measure. We get to see a little more of each character’s abilities and personalities as they traverse the strange cathedral brimming with cultists. Great sword and sorcery action from start to finish.
Review: The Beauty #11
By Chris Tresson
Let me start by saying I’ve been following this series since the first issue but this is the first chance I’ve had to review an issue for Comic Bastards. I’m not just jumping into a random issue and hoping for the best, I’ve actually been reading it. You can trust me. The Beauty… This series has a super cool concept that sits well with me, and so far I’ve enjoyed what creators Jeremy Haun and Jason Hurley have done with it. It’s only natural that I should choose to review an issue now as the second arc of The Beauty reaches its conclusion. So first off, I’m going to give my two cents on how I think this arc has fared compared to the first.
Review: Ninjak #20
By Mike Badilla
Whew, good thing for recap pages, amirite? I haven't read Ninjak in a while, so to jump in here on issue 20, there's a lot going on. Big thanks to Valiant for helping us all out with this recap: Ninjak went to an otherworldly plane to rescue some MI-6 agents, they all caught a disease while they were there (wanky wanky) and now Ninjak has it too (um... wanky wanky?) and now we are decades ahead with Ninjak and the Eternal Warrior (not to be confused with the Ultimate Warrior, although that could be interesting) fighting some old timer called Dr. Silk.
Review: Raven #2
By Chris Tresson
This week sees the release of the second issue of DC Comics's Raven, a title I have reviewed previously and enjoyed purely based on the fact I knew it’d get better with time... I had a little think about it some more once I'd read this issue and I think I seem to enjoy the miniseries DC put out more than the majority of their ongoing titles, they seem to me to be of a higher quality (that's an expert opinion, because I pull at least three quarters of what DC puts out. Honest.) Let's jump in and see what I thought...
Review: Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye #1
By Patrick Larose
Cave Carson was never meant to be a superhero.
When he was created in 1960 for DC Comics, he was molded to fit a pulp fiction archetype that didn’t fight crime and didn’t have super powers. Cave Carson was an adventurer.
Review: From Under Mountains
By Laramie Martinez
I’m a sucker for fantasy comics. But I think the genre tends to be limited by the expectations placed upon it. Some of the best short stories I’ve read recently use fantasy as a tool to explore interesting ideas. From Under Mountains is a great example of this. More of a political thriller than a rip-roaring adventure, the book tells a quieter story where personal conflicts between parents, fathers and daughters set the stage for a larger narrative. This comic feels very much like an intro arch, giving characters’ personal reasons which will inform their future decisions.
Review: Warhammer 40,000 #1
By Laramie Martinez
Earlier this year I got really into games. I’m not talking about Shoots and Ladders, or Candyland, I’m talking about the big names like Chess, Mah Jong, and of course Go. My interest peaked around the same time that AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol and I will admit the results discouraged me from learning more about these classics. I realized that perfect information games or games where all the information can be seen on the board were actually limited. I wanted something that would mimic a tactical real life battle, and strangely it was this need for something more realistic that took me to probably one of the most outrageous and unrealistic wargames on the market, Warhammer 40k.
Review: The Killer Inside Me #2
By Laramie Martinez
The Killer Inside Me #2 is a decent step up from the previous issue. While the issue succeeds in tackling the story’s harsh subject matter with style and menace, it remains a little inconsistent. The writing also slows down considerably in this issue, so the pace of the previous issue is not a problem here. Check out below for the details.
