Review: Slots #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
I've spent a decent amount of time in Las Vegas. My sister used to live there, and I would visit often. But it was never the gambling that I was interested in there. It was the drinking and the drugs. Vegas is the kind of city you go to with the intention of making bad decisions. Maybe it's different if you're local. But if you're from out-of-town Vegas can be blinding. It's the lights and the energy and the fact everything – and I mean everything – is right there within reach. I've always liked books and movies and whatever set in Vegas. Because the city has its own attitude and it's built into all of the characters, too. Dan Panosian's Slots is a book about the Las Vegas that maybe not a lot of people see. It's the kind of story that takes place off the Strip. It's a gritty story, and I'm hoping that we're all going to get a little dirty before it's over.
Review: The Archies #1
By Justin McCarty
America’s favorite teen garage-band is back in a new ongoing series. The Archies are a hit at their first gig; only Archie has no idea where the band will go from here. The first issue kicks off the story of the band and their aspirations for making it big. If you are an Archie fan, you might not find many complaints with this series. There’s also not much going on here to really get you hooked if you are not. Its plot lacks depth and focuses solely on Archie and his problem. Great artwork makes up for the plot though.
Review: Batman - The Dawnbreaker #1
By Justin McCarty
Batman The Dawnbreaker has landed today, the next issue for the Dark Knight tie-ins as we continue the multi-issue Metal event. Next up for The Dark Knights is The Drowned. Then the next Dark Nights Metal is out this month. Barbatos’ Dark Knights are coming together, and we aren’t yet sure what is in store for the Justice League and Earth-0. We’ll find out in the Metal Lost Knight crossovers. Of all the tie-ins so far, this might be my favorite.
Review: Beautiful Canvas #4
And just like that Beautiful Canvas is finished with a spectacular fourth and final installment. Ryan K. Lindsay has crafted a thrilling and personal story placed in the center of a chaotic universe, and leaves us with just as many questions as when we started. As the series has continued, in all my reviews I asked for some answers to the numerous questions Lindsay brought up in each issue; and now that the series is over, I feel relieved he chose not to answer most of them.
Review: The Showdown vol. 2
By Dustin Cabeal
The Showdown is a story I want to like more than I do. The premise of Death Race plus Hell is intriguing. The fact that it’s populated with so many rockabilly/villainous horror creatures makes it more interesting, but there is an element missing that keeps it from getting me to the finish line. Pun intended.
Review: Stern vol. 1
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m not a huge fan of era stories that in a way add modern genres to the twist. For instance a western that adds forensic science to the story. There’s a little of that in the first volume of Stern, but thankfully it ends up making a lot of sense to the story.
Review: Battlecats #5
By Dustin Cabeal
What has made Battlecats standout and be a rich story to read is the backstory. At first, it might have seemed daunting to read, but it was a smart way to introduce the different elements of the story that are now all coming into play.
Review: Cobber #4
By Dustin Cabeal
My qualms with the first three issues of Cobber still stand in this fourth issue of the five-issue series. It’s a story that’s been told before which isn’t the issue. Every story can be boiled down to being the same story or type of story told over and over. What sets stories aside is their characters, presentation, and entertainment level, to name a few things.
Review: Everywhere Disappeared
By Dustin Cabeal
As much as you enjoy a publishers body of work, there are always going to be a few that you simply dislike. You can likely tell where this review is going, which is more than I had going into Everywhere Disappeared.
Review: The Gulf
By Dustin Cabeal
Comic books are a wonderful thing. They give people the opportunity to push the boundaries of art and storytelling. They insight conversations because unlike any other form of entertainment you can have every degree of love and dislike for a comic. You can agree and disagree on movies, TV, video games, a song even, but you can read a comic, love it or hate it and hand it to a friend expecting the same results and be completely taken back by their response.
