Review: The Belfry

By Chris Tresson

Hello there and welcome to my review of The Belfry, a one-shot comic which is being released by Image Comics this week. Belfry is written and drawn by Gabriel Hardman, a man whose work I’m not entirely a stranger to. I’d seen Gabriel talking about this on Twitter and thought it looked interesting so when I found out it was out this week, I decided I was going to review it for Comic Bastards. Here we go…

Review: Deathstroke #13

By Dustin Cabeal

Ah, cover interaction. Remember when that was special? And then Marvel had five covers every week with it, and DC was soon to follow? Well since I gave up reading Marvel and DC until recently, it’s now become special again! Maybe it’s just the fact that I like this book and the kick looks like collateral damage, like a lamp being knocked off in a fight.

Review: Supergirl: Being Super #2

By Jonathan Edwards

I went into Supergirl Being Super eager to become more familiar with the title character. With the first issue, I wasn't completely satisfied with the pace and characterization, and I wasn't hooked by the end. When I was looking at this week's releases to review, I was initially planning on skipping this one. I don't think I even intended to check it own for my own personal reading. I don't really have a good reason for why I ultimately had a change of heart, but I'm glad that I did. The main thing I was worried about last time was the potential for it to continue at a plodding pace, but this issue has removed that reservation. And while that doesn't necessarily make the first issue better, it does increase my enthusiasm for the series as a whole.

Review: Loose Ends #2

By Daniel Vlasaty

I like good crime fiction. I read it, I write it, I watch it. I am a fan of the genre because I believe that it shows up what a person is made of. It breaks right through all the bullshit and shows you the true nature of a person, what’s really in his or her mind and heart. Loose Ends is right up there with the best of them. It’s a book with a lot of characters and they’re all after something else (though we as the readers aren’t given all the information on what that may or may not be yet). Plus, it’s a beautiful book that’s gritty and violent, everything I look for in the genre.

Review: Batman #17

By Daniel Vlasaty

Batman #17 is the second issue of the “I am Bane” storyline. Issue #16 had a more light and comedic tone (except for the last page), and there is a definite tonal change from that issue to this one. Here it is back to business as usual as Batman continues to prepare for the coming of Bane.

Reveiw: Night's Dominion #6

By Laramie Martinez

It’s been a fun ride, but the first arc of Night’s Dominion ends with this issue. Overall I give the series a solid 4. It’s a different take on the superhero genre, with a touch of fantasy and dungeon crawling characters. This issue doesn’t have too many surprises, if you’ve been reading until now I think you had a pretty good idea who the big bad will be. Even so it was good to see everyone teaming up to dish out some fantasy ass kicking.

Review: Moby Dick

By Laramie Martinez

Three years ago this month I read Moby Dick for the first time. As a former English major it was one of those books which you had to read to have any sort of respect in the eyes of older English scholars. It’s a strange, wonderful book, surprisingly funny and informative (granted most of the information is outdated whale facts) and it was one of the best things I read that year. Naturally, when I saw dark horse coming out with their adaptation by Christophe Chaboute, I knew this one was going to be one of my reviews for the week.

Review: Dead Inside #3

By Chris Tresson

Welcome to my review of the third issue of John Arcudi and Toni Fejzula’s Dead Inside, out this week from Dark Horse Comics. The last two issue of this series have been pretty interesting but this time around I’m really hoping that the story kicks in a bit more… I need to know what the fuck is going on here. Let’s see what I thought of Dead Inside #3.

There Can Be Only One: BOOM! Studios (2/15/17)

By Dustin Cabeal

It’s been a while since I had the time to do a There Can Be Only One, that and for the past month, there hasn’t been much that I wanted to suffer through in order to complete one of these. Since I haven’t done BOOM! Studios yet I waited for a week of their popular titles and pulled the trigger. What happens next will amaze you… just kidding, but here are reviews for all of their releases this week including in alphabetical order: Adventure Time Comics #8, Kong of Skull Island vol. 1 and issue #8, Lumberjanes #35, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #12, The Deep #2, The Killer vol. 5 and WWE #2.

Review: Street Tiger #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I doubt I’ll be able to describe Street Tiger better than the cover: “A weird revenge thriller” is as about as perfect of a description as possible. Ertito Montana’s four issue mini-series Street Tiger is definitely weird, but the type of weird I enjoy the hell out of in comics.
