Review: Snow Day
By Dustin Cabeal
Snow Day is one of those stories that you can love, but at the same time acknowledge its flaws. Its flaws don’t make it bad, but rather they just point out how familiar the story is.
Review: The Spirit: The Corpse Makers #1
By Chris Tresson
This week I’m going to be reviewing The Spirit: The Corpse Maker #1 which is wrtten and drawn by Fransceso Francavilla for Dynamite entertainment. Having read the previous Spirit series from Dynamite (written by Matt Wagner with art by Dan Schkade)and I quite enjoyed it, so I was quite happy to see that they were putting out another another Spirit series. I was happy at first, and then I saw Francesco Francavilla’s name attached to it, decided I was completely in and here we are. This is my review of the first issue.
Review: The Escort #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The Escort seems to be capitalizing on a trend that’s already fading… powerful women with bows and arrows. The title also feels a bit misleading in that the average comic reader isn’t going to think of the main character as someone who escorts people, but as someone who “escorts” people. I raised an eyebrow wondering what exactly I had been sent for review.
Review: Seekers into the Mystery
By Laramie Martinez
Last week I was able to get a hold of a copy of Seekers into the Mystery. Written by J. M. Dematteis and drawn by various artists, the book seemed to be the natural follow-up to Dematteis’ Moonshadow which I had read earlier this month. It is another one of his “big question” stories, following a struggling screenwriter named Lucas Hart living in Los Angeles as he tries to cope with the memories of his traumatic childhood.
Review: Australi #1
By Dustin Cabeal
When I read the email that the creators sent with this issue, I’ll admit that I didn’t find it interesting and that made it difficult to sit down and give it a fair chance. I started it and quit it a few times, but then one day for whatever reason I stuck with it… I kicked myself for not giving it a chance sooner because I found exactly the type of indie comics I enjoy reading.
Review: Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern #1
By Jonathan Edwards
Seeing this... thing listed among the week's releases gave me an immediate flashback to last month and all the mediocrity that was Justice League/Power Rangers #1. Except, there's a key distinction between these books that I noticed pretty quickly. While both are crossovers bearing both companies' names, DC is technically the publisher for JL/PR, while it's Boom! for PotA/GL (this is reflected in the construction of their titles, with the publisher's properties being listed first respectively). My first thought was something along the lines of "oh god, there's another one." This was followed quickly by me wondering who got the shorter end of the stick. Had the deal(s) somehow screwed DC while simultaneously landing Boom! a good book? After all, Green Lantern and Planet of the Apes is a far stranger crossover than Power Rangers and the Justice League. However, perhaps that meant there was a much better reason for it to be happening. With that thought in mind, I went ahead and signed up to review Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern #1. And guess what? It's garbage.
Review: A Rapper's Words #1-2
By Dustin Cabeal
As a practice, I don't like to bunch issues together for review, but there are instances in which I simply don't have anything different to say about the issues. I would be copying and paste my review twice which just seems tacky to me. I've seen it done, but I personally don't like it. I mention this because my thoughts and feelings on these two issues are the same so hence, one review.
Review: Ether #3
By Laramie Martinez
I’m going to run this review backwards this time. For those of you who have read issues 1 & 2, you know that Ether usually ends with a flashback of Boone’s past. The structure itself is not surprising, typically in comics, as in most entertainment media, there are main plots and a subplot. With the main plots being the reason you read the book or watch the show, and the subplot being something fun or interesting on the side. In the case of Ether, however, I am just as intrigued by Boone’s past, as I am with his current mystery.
Review: Deathstroke #11
By Dustin Cabeal
If you had told me that Deathstroke was taking on the gun violence issues of Chicago, well I probably would have skipped this issue. It’s a good thing I read comics, not solicits.
Review: Hero Hotel
By Sarah Miller
Even though it’s the cutest thing I’ve read so far this year, Hero Hotel pulls no punches when it comes to showing the rude behaviour of superheroes on vacation. And they all want to relax at Hero Hotel, run by Grandma Zee and her staff, who must deal with the taxing personalities of superheroes who are taking a break from saving the world. While all the staff members interact with the lazy superheroes, Chet, the concierge, and Boomer, his cat and best bud, bear the brunt of their demands, and they even have to save the hotel from supervillains when the superhero guests refuse to lift a finger. (What else would you expect from superheroes on vacation?)
