Review: The Courier: From The Ashes #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Listen if we all make it to the dystopian future I’m going to give you a piece of advance, use in-house couriers. There’s a lot of reasons to do this, but the biggest is that it’s cheaper in the long run. It makes someone in your crew feel like a vital part of the team, and you don’t have to give out money to strangers. The second reason is that anytime there’s a courier, be it dystopian or otherwise, they eventually pick a side in a confrontation, and that could bite you in the ass.
Review: Zombie Tramp – Easter Special
By Dustin Cabeal
I was always a fan of the holiday specials when growing up. I remember a DC Christmas special with particular fondness. These days, they’re making a bit of a return, and much like when I was growing up some are good, and some are shit. I rank the Zombie Tramp specials in the former as the series has always found creative ways to tie into the theme of the holiday, without it being annoying, point in case the Easter special.
Review: Mighty Man #1
By Jonathan Edwards
As much as I've heard about Erik Larsen (which is admittedly not a ton, but enough to be generally familiar with his work), I don't think I've ever actually sat down and actually read something from him. So, I figured a one-shot focusing on one (with several others being present) of his characters seemed as good a place as any to start. And to its credit, I nothing about the characters and world lost or confused me. It was all pretty straightforward or easy enough to infer.
Review: Infinite 7 #3
By Dustin Cabeal
The story of Infinite 7 is finding its stride, but the problem I continue to have with the series is that each issue has a lengthy backstory for one of the seven members. While that’s not terrible, it doesn’t leave much room for the rest of the story.
Review: Darkness Visible #3
By Jonathan Edwards
This was an odd direction to go with the third issue. We'd just finished setting the stage for Daniel Aston's story to really kick off. But now, instead of doing that, we're being yanked back in time to World War II so we can learn how the Shaitan came to co-exist with humans in modern Britain. It's not like that an inherently bad or uninteresting concept, I just don't see any good reason for doing it now. Especially when there doesn't appear to be any real connection to the main story. It's just "yep, this is how it happened." That being said, it's not a bad issue in and of itself.
Review: Beast Wagon Finale
By Dustin Cabeal
Beast Wagon has been a hell of a ride. A story set in a zoo in which all the animals talk like people in their thirties but then filled with so many political, social and cultural comments that it’s hard to digest everything in one reading.
Review: Black Cloud #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
Black Cloud is a book where I really have no idea what’s going on. I read it twice and I still feel like I’m just barely starting to understand. Like I’m just starting to kind of maybe get it. Black Cloud is about storytelling. It’s about how life is a story. It’s about the story that’s all around us, the one we’re living in right now. It’s also about dreams and magic and fear and history and adventure. Jason Latour and Ivan Brandon have created something really special here. Because, even though this is a complex and difficult first issue, it’s also beautiful and welcoming and invigorating.
Review: Deathstroke #16
By Dustin Cabeal
Goddamnit, I’m back again for Deathstroke. One day I’ll take a break from these reviews just to catch a breath from my perspective, but as long as Power Girl is in this series, I’m there. Speaking of which, this was almost a very different review because of something that happened in the issue. It was almost a, “How dare you” type of review. Not really, but I would have been very sad.
Review: Rock Candy Mountain #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
I know of Kyle Stark through his amazing and ridiculous and fantastic Sexcastle. That book hit me out of nowhere. I had never even heard of it until I saw it on the shelf in the shop I was working in at the time. Just seeing the title on the spine, I knew I was buying that thing immediately. And I finished it in like an hour. It was so good. An homage to all the so-bad-they’re-actually-kind-of-good action/comedy movies of the 80s. I loved it. Anyway, what I mean to say is that Kyle Starks has a new book! And this is my review of the first issue!
Review: Brave Chef Brianna #2 (of 4)
By Dustin Cabeal
The plot for this second issue was lost on me. It seems to be manufactured to bring Brianna and Suzan together on a united front, but the biggest question that the series has presented continues to go unanswered. Is Brianna breaking the “monster rules” and cooking with flour and sugar and other things that make food tasty?
