Review: Death be Damned #1
By Laramie Martinez
I’m a big fan of Ben Acker’s and Ben Blacker’s The Thrilling Adventure Hour so when I saw they were teaming up with Andrew Miller for a comic, I knew I was going to pick it up. I’ve only seen their humorous side, but I was excited to see what they would do with grittier subject matter in Death be Damned. Taking place in the 1870s in WY, this is a classic western revenge tale which, while disjointed at times, allows for some interesting takes on the western, the Frankenstein story, and supernatural dark fantasy. Check out my full review below.
Review: Exodus #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m going to grind out a pet peeve of mine on this review. I hate the title “Exodus.” I don’t care if it perfectly illustrates the theme of the story (which it does), it’s just a title that carries with it a lot of baggage that no story needs. It lacks creativity, and for me, it's a sure-fire way to get me to avoid your book. I say this not because you should avoid Tres Calaveras Exodus, but rather the opposite. Though, in all honesty, if this hadn’t been sent to me for review, I wouldn’t have read it because of the title. And I know that’s stupid, but it’s my pet peeve. So, if you’re sitting on your own “Exodus” comic to send me for review… tread lightly.
Review: Justice League/Power Rangers #2
By Jonathan Edwards
Y'know, after the utter suckage of Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern #1, this crossover doesn't seem so bad. I mean, it's still not good, but at least it's not insultingly pandering. And to be fair, I did enjoy Justice League/Power Rangers #2 more than the first issue, if only marginally. There's a bit more going on, and we actually see the entirety of the Justice League this time around. Also, for better or worse, we no longer primarily focus on Zack's perspective, instead jumping around to different members of each super team. And while it's nice to get a broader perspective of these events, it also draws more attention to the story flaws persisting from the first issue.
Review: Justice League of America: Rebirth #1
By Jonathan Edwards
Well, here we are. After all the buildup of several weeks, four one-shots, and the entirety of the Justice League vs. Suicide Squad limited series, we get to see it all come together. This is a book I've been somewhat eager to read for a little while now, and it's only in part because I liked overall what writer Steve Orlando was doing with those aforementioned one-shots. My interest has been piqued ever since I first saw the team line-up. Batman, Black Canary, The Atom, Vixen, The Ray, Killer Frost, and Lobo of all people? It's a strange enough mash-up of characters that I couldn't help but be intrigued as to how the character and team dynamics might play out. And, it was out of that interest that I opted to first call Justice League of America: The Atom Rebirth #1 for review. One of my big curiosities going in to this issue was how it might integrate and/or build off of what was established in its immediate predecessors. Unfortunately, Orlando didn't end up doing too much of that.
Review: God Country #2
By Chris Tresson
Next week sees the release of Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw's God Country #2 which is being published by Image Comics. Luckily for me, Donny was kind enough to send me a copy of the book early (Thanks, Donny!) which I was absolutely thrilled about because I loved the first issue of it. So without further ado, let’s find out what I thought of the issue…
Review: Red Sonja v4 #2
By Dustin Cabeal
Well, color me shocked. I gave this another chance but didn’t see myself reviewing another issue after the first issue of the new Red Sonja. I found this issue to be marginally better, but still lacking in a lot of ways. I want that to be clear, it’s better, but it’s not great.
Review: All-Star Batman #7
By Chris Tresson
Another month, another issue of All-Star Batman to chew over. It’s the second part of this new arc, and we’re focusing on Poison Ivy this issue. Scott Snyder is joined by artist Tula Lotay for this part, continuing a good choice of artists. The last issue was pretty good, so let’s hope this one continues to impress.
Review: Deathstroke #12
By Dustin Cabeal
Hands down Deathstroke is DC’s best title. I say that with no remorse for the rest of their line because if the rest of their line were half as good as Deathstroke, I would be an avid reader. As it stands, Deathstroke is a title I rush to read and let me tell you, that hasn’t happened for a very long time. Especially with a DC comic.
Review: Paper Girls #11
By Daniel Vlasaty
Time travel is a confusing thing. It’s confusing for a writer. It’s confusing for a reader. It’s even confusing for the character doing the time traveling. Paper Girls #11 is the start of a new storyline, but it takes off right where issue #10 left off. With the girls stranded somewhere and sometime and things are confusing and they’re just as confused as the rest of us.
Review: All New Fathom #1
By Dustin Cabeal
All New Fathom is leaps and bounds better than the last Fathom title I read. It also has a refreshing narrative that could use some fine tuning but still was better than the last several Fathom series I’ve read. That said, it also revealed that this idea is tired and perhaps was too short-sighted in the beginning. Hell, maybe it reveals a fundamental flaw in all underwater society storylines, in that they’re just not interesting.
