Review: Secret Coders vol. 4 – Robots & Repeats
By Dustin Cabeal
This is a hard review to write because I think what this book is ultimately trying to accomplish is great. Teaching kids about coding while also giving them an adventure is fantastic. It’s just that it’s not quite working.
Review: The Street Angel Gang
By Daniel Vlasaty
In case you didn’t know: Jesse Sanchez, AKA Street Angel, is a lot of things. She’s a thirteen-year-old orphan. She’s been called the world’s best homeless skateboarder. She’s also a master of kung-fu and other fighting styles. She’s been known to hate school, but loves food and will pretty much eat anything and everything. I had never heard of Jesse Sanchez or Street Angel or even Brian Maruca and Jim Rugg until the Street Angel: After School Kung Fu Special hardcover was release recently from Image Comics. That book was silly and ridiculous and everything I love about comic books. I went out and searched for more of their work, found some older Street Angel collections, read some of the original web comic stories, loved it all. And I was super excited to see that the crew of Maruca and Rugg had another Street Angel book coming out. This is a review of that book. The book is called The Street Angel Gang, and it’s about Street Angel maybe or maybe not trying to join a gang.
Review: Cast No Shadow
By Dustin Cabeal
Cast No Shadow surprised me in many ways. It wasn’t until nearly the end that I figured out where the story was going and even then, I was left with some unanswered questions, that may never be answered.
Review: My Little Pony the Movie Prequel #2
By Ashley Gibbs
I admit I wasn’t too impressed with the first issue of this series. It made me worry if I’d even like the movie at all, to be honest. Then the official trailer dropped and my interest rose again and now, after reading My Little Pony Movie Prequel #2 I am once again curious about this upcoming big screen adventure. While the book is aimed at younger readers and as such certain points are hammered into the ground, the overall story told is well-paced and matched with nice artwork. This series is not a bad lead-up to the movie if you’re looking for some background before heading to theaters.
Review: Beautiful Canvas #2
By Ben Snyder
While still slim on details and purposely vague on hidden agendas, Beautiful Canvas #2 does enough to maintain the promise and expectations that the first issue started. Although the reader will eventually need some answers, as of now simply being a part of this intricate plot thread and amazing characters is enough to satisfy for a little while longer.
Review: Injustice 2 #6
By Ashley Gibbs
It’s really hard to pick a favorite issue in this series, each one is great and amazing to read. Though, I can’t deny being biased towards Injustice 2 #6 since it has many things I enjoy. I love Supergirl, I love an origin story, and I love how this explains why she’s in the video game at all -and where she has been all this time. Unlike most Supergirl stories, Kara has not landed in a safe space where her cousin can show her the ropes, this alternate universe is harsh and unforgiving. This issue has action mixed in with a touching plot that helps build the world up around the characters.
Review: Destroyer #3
By Ashley Gibbs
Here it is, Destroyer #3 brings some much needed backstory on some of the key characters in this series. I will admit I’ve been on the fence as I read the series, I liked it well enough but felt something was missing, and this was it. I wanted to know more about what lead Dr. Baker to where she is now most of all. While this issue is mainly backstory focused there is some action and violence but overall not as bad as previous issues in that regard though I do think things are really amping up to get messy.
Review: Royal City #5
By Jonathan Edwards
Royal City #5 marks the end of the first story arc. Although, that is perhaps a loose definition. Because, though the stakes are higher this time around, I didn't find this issue to be distinctly more revelatory or terminating than any previous issue. I don't mean that as a bad thing either. I tore through this issue, enjoying every moment of my reading. And when I realized I was at the end, I only wanted more. But, it looks like we'll have to wait for October for the next arc, where Lemire sends us back to 1993 and the final days of Tommy Pike. However, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's on the issue at hand. Namely, issue #5 of Royal City.
Review: Generation Gone #1
By Jonathan Edwards
My last experience with Ales Kot's work was dropping his series Wolf after issue #7. And, that's actually kind of funny to me. Because, that was the book that got me going back into my local comic shop for the first time in a few years. I had picked up the first issue the day it came out after I saw it advertised in an email from Comixology (which at that point I had only really used to get a few free comics). It was a decompressed and oblique read, but it was still interesting enough for me to want to come back for the next installment. Unfortunately, the more I read of it, the more Kot seemed to prioritize showing disparate elements of the world he'd created over tying together the plot threads he continued to introduce and leave hanging. And when some connections were finally made, it was too little, too late, and not satisfying. So like I said, I eventually dropped it. But at that point, I was already reading a few other books I'd found and decided to pick up as well when coming into the shop for Wolf. So like it or not, Ales Kot played a catalytic part in my relationship with comics. Without him, I very well might not be writing this review right now, and perhaps that's the biggest reason I wanted to look at Generation Gone.
Review: Prometheus
By Patrick Wolf
Prometheus is the ancient Greek Titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humankind. In many ways, creator Ryan Little and his team are trying to do something similar in bestowing the public with some good old-fashioned revenge entertainment. While Little’s work isn’t quite as grand as the advent of fire, it’s still pretty good and certainly worth a flip-through. I just hope his Prometheus doesn’t meet the same fate as the Titan who inspired it.
