Review: Pathfinder - Runescars # 1
By Patrick Wolf
This month’s installment of Pathfinder features a new story in an original setting with a fresh set of villains. Unfortunately, that’s about the most innovation you’ll get out of this largely uninspired issue. Prepare for an ordinary narrative with a bunch of stock characters in what could have been an epic quest, but instead opted to be a wannabe detective story.
Review: Destroyer #1
By Ashley Gibbs
I’m not a very political person, I usually find the news and other such things to be rather depressing and worrisome, but I am aware of the bad things happening around us. As such, I wasn’t sure if I should read Destroyer #1, nor what to expect. What I got out of the pages, however, was a pretty good experience. While this inaugural issue doesn’t touch on too many political aspects quite yet, it does start off with world building to prepare readers as to what the series will be about. Set in a modern day world where Frankenstein's Monster is real and still alive, we follow his journey as well a modern day scientist who is also creating her own creature. It’s a unique set up, one that I have not encountered before but it kept me captivated through every page.
Review: Redneck #2
By Daniel Vlasaty
I know I said this in my review of Redneck #1, but I wanted to put it out there again: I generally don’t like vampires. I think it’s probably because there’s already an oversaturation of vampires in movies and books and comics and TV shows and, shit, probably even weird sex subcultures that I don’t even know about. Basically, vampires are freaking everywhere. They’ve been done before. We get it with the vampires already. They live forever and they’re attractive and moody and blah blah blah. So how does this hillbilly vampire story set deep in the heart of Texas hold up in a world already overrun by fucking vampires? Here’s my review of Redneck #1, written by Donny Cates, drawn by Lisandro Estherren, and colored by Dee Cunniffe.
Review: Rapture #1
By Levi Remington
The consistently impressive and ever boundless Matt Kindt, who has fast become an arbiter of the Valiant universe, is teaming up again with artist CAFU for Rapture, a 4-issue standalone event series. The book stars Ninjak and Shadowman as they take to the Deadside with Geomancer Tama and Punk Mambo to defend against an ancient evil that threatens to breach the heavens, bringing cataclysm to Earth. Valiant promises a "Tolkien-esque" journey through the Deadside, making for the publisher's first ever high-fantasy epic. Read ahead for my thoughts on the first issue after I translate the gleeps and glorps
Review: Sun Bakery #3
By Levi Remington
While Papa-Bastard Dustin usually covers this series (#1, #2), he won't be available this week. In the meantime, I've decided to catch up for issue #3 and see what his fuss was about. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you'd be hard pressed to find a fuss more justified. Sun Bakery kicks ass.
Review: Winnebago Graveyard #1
By Jonathan Edwards
Many years ago, my parents opted to buy an RV, and we went on a cross country trip across America. We actually all flew to Florida to buy the damn thing to drive all the way back to the West coast. We actually had that RV for an absurdly long time for only going on, I think, one other trip with it. And then, they sold it. I don't really know what the moral of that story is, but it's part of what made me want to check this book out. See, I was a skittish kid for a long time. So much so that I flat out refused to even watch horror films (although, some gradual encouragement in my teens eventually got me to break out of that). So during that RV trip, I was pretty frequently scared of someone or something "getting" us. Winnebago Graveyard is that fear turned comic book, or at least it endeavors to be. And when I saw Steve Niles's name attached on top of that, I knew I had to at least give it a try.
Review: Rose #2
By Levi Remington
Rose, a high fantasy series that is teetering a bit too close to the familiar, releases its second issue this week. While my first impressions were favorable towards the art, I was left wanting when the story retread such mundane, overdone territory. Does the second issue expand upon the first in a memorable way? Not exactly, but the art is still excellent.
Review: Royal City #3
By Jonathan Edwards
I swear, with every new issue of Royal City, I read it, love it, and want more. Lemire does such a good job of setting and maintaining a tone that it hardly takes any effort to slip back into the same emotional space each month. Furthermore, he has a specific way of revealing information so that it informs about the characters and world while also generating further intrigue and follow-up questions. As far as I can tell, the "model" (if you want to call it that) tends to be something of a reversed order of events. We meet a character who's feeling a certain way or in a certain state of mind. Then, we slowly move backwards to find out the actual event that got them there. And after that, we uncover what led to that event. For example, Tara and her husband Steve have been at odds since the first issue, and with this one we finally learn what the cause of that was (I refuse to spoil it). And now, the question becomes "what else was going on before it that affected and led up to it?" It's really great stuff, and I can only presume it will all eventually lead back to finding out exactly what happened to Tommy Pike.
Review: Red Sonja v4 #5
By Dustin Cabeal
If you’ve been reading this series like I have then I’m going to give you the best advice possible, skip this issue. The fifth issue of the newest Red Sonja series from Dynamite Entertainment is by far the worst of the series for numerous reasons, but none worse than the fact that it does next to nothing to move the story forward.
Review: Eleanor & The Egret #2
By Levi Remington
After a delightfully bizarre first issue, Eleanor & The Egret is back and it's picking up speed. Detective Belanger draws nearer, Ellis the egret's bowels assist in "Operation Daring-Doo," and Anastasia Rue hires a bounty hunter of sickly proportions. Read ahead for my thoughts on this week's issue of a series that is like no other.
