Review: Food Wars! vol. 17

By Dustin Cabeal

Did you read the last volume? That twist huh? It is so damn good. It completely refreshes the direction of Food Wars! because let’s be honest, Soma just continuing to have battle after battle and winning and losing and growing would have been fine, but not interesting. Now, now some real character development can go down, and I would say that the ending of this volume is just the start to that.

Review: Infinite 7 #1

By Dustin Cabeal

After a mix-up on my part, I felt it was only fair to get this issue reviewed before the second issue arrives next week. I had been looking forward to it since I enjoy Dave Dwonch’s other comics like Double Jumpers and Cyrus Perkins and the Haunted Taxi Cab. He’s said multiple times in interviews and through the marketing of Infinite 7 that this is his love note to the 80s and action movie genre. Which isn’t hard to figure out with that Arnold Schwarzenegger looking dude on the cover, but let’s not forget the Bruce Lee clone and Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken.

Review: Dollface #2

By Dustin Cabeal

I’m way late on reviewing this, but I didn’t want it to slip by before the next issue. One because I enjoy it and two because it’s pretty different than a lot of other comics out there right now. A big thing for me is that even though this is a “hunter” comic book, it’s not annoying or repetitive like those stories tend to be. The fact that two issues into this series and we’re still revealing how our trio came to be and why they ran into Janey from Zombie Tramp have all yet to be revealed.

Review: Smoketown #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I’ll be up front with you, Smoketown is about trying to get away with murder. Plain and simple. That is why you’re likely to be drawn to reading it because, with stories like Smoketown, you want to see if they’ll get away with it.

Support Indie Comics: Check out Aztlan!

By Dustin Cabeal

What a time to be alive when the first thing I have to tell you is "full disclosure, I know this dude." That is what I have to do, though; I know the writer of Aztlan, Pablo Arriaga. He's written reviews, articles, and interviews for Comic Bastards and a great digital friend of mine. That is to say; we've never actually met in person.

Review: Stitched vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

Stitched is a kid friendly monster themed graphic novel that’s aimed more at young girls than young boys. That said, I’m a thirty-year-old man that reads all types of comics and no genre, or demographic will keep me away. That and I think young boys would actually enjoy this as well, but that’s not why we’re here.

Review: The Dredger #1

By Dustin Cabeal

The “outbreak” genre is a bit overdone in my opinion. There’s even a zombie subgenre, but I suppose if people have a story to tell, they’ll tell it. The Dredger is a strange first issue because there’s a lot of elements that are quite good and then others that are very, very bad.

Review: The House #1

By Dustin Cabeal

The House has an uphill battle to fight because it has such a familiar concept. Just looking at the cover and the title made me think of Hell House by Richard Matherson which lead me to think of half a dozen titles that have homage Hell House in comic form.

Review: Cosmic Scoundrels #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Whenever I read a comic that I end up not liking there’s one line that repeats over and over in my head. It’s from The IT Crowd, and it goes a little something like this, “It’s not for you Jen.” That, of course, is the best way to present my thoughts on Cosmic Scoundrels #1.

Review: The Dregs #2

By Daniel Vlasaty

The Dregs might be the perfect comic book. It has a unique and original story, a too-cool-for-school attitude, great art, and an interesting and involving mystery. In my opinion, it’s the best book coming out right now. Probably the best book of the year. It’s a great mash-up of noir and junkie fiction, two of my main areas of interest. Basically, this book’s got it going on.
