Review: Sheena #1
By Ashley Gibbs
Having not been thoroughly impressed with the teaser, Sheena #0, I went into Sheena #1 hesitant but still hopeful. Surely the story was going to get exciting, and any issues from before would smooth themselves out, right? Somehow this is both better and worse at the same time. We’re given a bit more action, and Sheena faces actual problems this time around, but it’s hard to invest in the story yet, and the artwork isn’t helping either. Mediocre would be the best way to describe this comic, and while that’s not horrible, it’s a disappointment for those like myself seeking more strong, well written female characters on the comic landscape.
Review: Flash #30
By Justin McCarty
When I saw this was the start of a new story arc, I really thought this would be a good jumping on point, but it looks like I missed the big Flash moments. This issue has the Flash going up against a new villain called Bloodwork. This issue had potential, but there’s not much that stands out about this issue. The overall arc may be worth sticking with if you’re a longtime Flash fan. However, I didn’t find this issue a satisfying place to start on the Rebirth Flash.
Review: Skin & Earth #3
By Ashley Gibbs
Living on the wrong side of town in a post-apocalyptic world and having recently suffered a broken heart, En’s life isn’t going so well at the moment. Skin & Earth #3 introduces a new, mysterious character into her life and that’s about it. The series is the brainchild of Canadian singer Lights and links up with her upcoming album of the same name with songs directly related to the comic itself. However, the songs and music videos currently available have been more interesting than the comic tie-in. Halfway through a run promising crazy romance, cults, and self-discovery for En, yet so far only the first has happened. While a good read, those seeking a faster pace may be disappointed.
Review: The Hockey Saint
By Dustin Cabeal
The Hockey Saint is an interesting read in that it has several problems with the plot, but the characters are strong enough that you’ll likely overlook every problem and enjoy the book from beginning to end. What’s strange about that, is that this happens to me a lot. I can enjoy something and still pick it apart and write a review for it, while still enjoying it.
Review: How Comics Work
By Dustin Cabeal
There are many ways to make comics and no “right” way to do it, which is why I like and appreciate How Comics Work by Dave Gibbons and Tim Pilcher. That’s the first thing that you learn in this book, that you’re learning it the way that Dave Gibbons makes comics and that no one is asking you to follow that to a “T.” Instead, learn from it and find your own path.
Review: InferNoct #1
By Jonathan Edwards
I literally had no idea what this was going in. I'd never heard of it, nor had I even read a synopsis. Really, the title just kind of jumped out at me from the spreadsheet. I figured InferNoct was probably a portmanteau of the words "inferno" and "nocturnal," which was at least as intriguing as it was vague. And after a quick glance at the art, I figured I might as well commit whole hog. So, I did. And after finishing this first installment, I can't really say whether or not my prediction of the title's meaning was accurate. But, I can say that it was a decent issue if ultimately flawed.
Review: Motor Crush #6
By Jonathan Edwards
I read the first story arc of Motor Crush and liked it well enough. It wasn't anything ground breaking, but it was fun, stylish, and had a decent enough dose of intrigue. Plus, it left off on a pretty big cliff hanger. So let me say up front, this issue does not resolve that. In fact, it does the opposite. Motor Crush #6 is a prequel issue focusing on Sully while Domino's still a child. It also happens to touch on how Sully lost his leg and the rise of Crush in Nova Honda. All in all, it feels more like a standalone story than the beginning of a new arc. And though it does do a pretty good job of showcasing Sully's character, it does feel somewhat at the cost of Domino losing some of her own agency.
Review: Redlands #2
By Justin McCarty
The witches of Redlands are back! Like Dustin pointed out in his review, issue one was more of a prologue. Issue two has the witches running the town as the town’s law enforcement. Redlands doesn’t seem to be aware of who the ladies really are, while they story moves ahead some period of time pretty much to the present day. Now the ladies have a mysterious adversary bent on outing them.
Review: Lazaretto #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
This is the second new #1 issue I am reviewing this week. And this is also the second new series I am jumping into without knowing anything at all about it. I had never even heard of Lazaretto until I saw it pop up on our review list for the week. And I chose to review it based on the cover art alone. Something I have done many times before. And not just with comics, but with movies and books and music. They say never judge a book by its cover. And that’s true in this case too. But the exact opposite of what the saying actually means. Because in the case of Lazaretto, the cover is the best, and possibly only, good thing about this book.
Review: Dastardly & Muttley #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Blink.
Blink.
Blink. Blink. Blink.
If you came here to read a review telling you what this comic is about, then I’m afraid that I must inform you that I haven’t the foggiest. I know what I read. I understand what I read. I have no clue what the larger story will be about or why this tale is being told. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s the truth. I have no clue what Dastardly & Muttley is about; I only know what happened in the issue.
