Review: Transdimensional #2
By Justin McCarty
Recently, I have read several great Kickstarter funded comics. The great thing about Kickstarter is it gets not just original comics made, but unique and inventive comics. Transdimensional is a sci-fi horror comic with some great elements. This issue builds successfully on those elements, and the premise of the first issue, as it takes us deeper into the mystery of the sunken Russian submarine.
Review: Centralia 2050 vol. 1
By Patrick Wolf
The first volume of this popular webseries is finally coming to print, and you can now buy a digital copy for a low as $5 dollars. As it stands, while this series does have some minor pacing and suspense issues, it’s still a fun, sci-fi adventure that’ll keep you coming back. I’d recommend this book to any enthusiast of young adult fiction, and I’d certainly advise all preexisting fans to visit the Kickstarter page and give Michelle Stanford your support. As for anyone new to this series, you can read the first volume for free on the Tapas and topwebcomics platforms.
Review: Alex Automatic 1 & 2
By Justin McCarty
Inspired by the TV shows the creators grew up watching in the UK, Alex Automatic is an Inspector Gadget-ish spy. He’s more machine than a man. Alex Automatic is really Alex Anderson, a man that has been experimented on to turn him into the perfect weapon. Stay with me, the initial premise isn’t new, but the execution is pretty unique and fun. So Alex’s brain has been so screwed with that he can’t tell what’s real and he slips in and out of the delusion of being the star hero in a TV show called Alex Automatic. As you might tell this back and forth between reality and delusion allows for some pretty creative storytelling.
Review: White Ash #1
By Oliver Gerlach
White Ash #1, recently Kickstarted with the promise of more to follow, was marketed as something for people who like Lord of the Rings, Twin Peaks, or Supernatural. That seems like a bizarre list of comparisons, and not a particularly coherent one. It is, however, an intriguing list, and one which fits the comic better than expected (although still not perfectly; that Lord of the Rings comparison is a bit ridiculous and out of place).
Review: Skin & Earth #4
By Ashley Gibbs
Skin & Earth #4 follows En and Tsu on a mission of revenge against Priest, En’s ex and it’s about as interesting as you expect. While some important things are discussed, they’re bogged down by sluggish pacing and dull dialogue. While it is commendable that the narrative kept me guessing where the story would go next, it also left me confused and disinterested in how this journey ends. This series is linked to the latest album by Lights, sharing the same title, with the themes of the songs aligning with the comic, however, the album is a lot better than the comic itself.
Review: Sheena #2
By Ashley Gibbs
After issue zero and one of this series I was worried going into Sheena #2 and while previous issues with pacing and artwork still remain, the story is moving somewhere and Sheena is given a character to play off of which helps a lot. Our jungle queen is on a mission to find a missing surveyor, or as she says it “sir veyor,” and bring him safely home to protect her village from mercenaries. Of course this is easier said than done and this book mixed a bit of big business machinations with the wonders of nature. Sheena gets to show off her skills and connection with the jungle and the animals that live in it and while the action is limited it was still a decent read.
Review: God Complex #1
By Jonathan Edwards
God Complex is an answer to the question “what if Greek gods existed in a cyberpunk future,” and I kind of have to wonder how much of a coincidence it is that this is coming out on the heels of Blade Runner 2049’s release (but, I digress). I was initially a little on the fence about checking this one out, because, while I’m a sucker for mythology, I’m a lot less enthusiastic about cyberpunk and, really, sci-fi in general. I obviously decided to go for it anyway, and though I’m still not quite sold on the series, God Complex #1 offers solid enough characterization, world-building, and intrigue to be a decent read.
Review: Justice League of America #16
By Jonathan Edwards
Wow, another whole issue completely dedicated to a flashback for this fucking story arc. At least this time we get some resolution for the how and why of Aron Aut’s betrayal. However, I’d like to reiterate that that’s a cliffhanger we were left with two issues ago, and there’s no good reason both flashbacks couldn’t be contained in a single dedicated issue. The lion’s share of Palmer’s was made up of redundancies, and Aut’s goes to bizarrely extreme length to ensure his characterization is nothing more than a one-dimensional, unrepentant supervillain, even going as far as giving him a whole different costume and the moniker “The Null.” If all of that fat was stripped away, they probably could’ve had a pretty strong and streamlined backstory issue that, dare I say, could’ve even gotten us excited to see the conclusion of “Panic in the Microverse” (side note: while the covers to every issue in this arc have consistently called it “Panic in the Microverse,” I’m fairly certain the internal credits of the first two or three issue referred to it as the “Crisis in the Microverse” instead).
Review: Wolverton, Thief of Impossible Objects #1
By Oliver Gerlach
Wolverton, Thief of Impossible Objects, is, as the lengthy and descriptive title indicates, a fun adventure story about a thief of magical artifacts. It’s a great concept and an entertaining story, and the title makes the premise pretty clear from the first glance at the book. It’s a bit of a mouthful, though, and that’s kind of representative of the rest of the book.
Review: After the Snow #1
By Patrick Wolf
We all know how the story of Snow White ends: She cheats death, defeats the stepmother, and bags the prince. But does she really live happily ever after? What will happen to her after she becomes as old as her stepmother? Will she still be the same cheerful girl we’ve all come to know and love? Or will she follow in her stepmother’s footsteps and become obsessed with beauty and power? After the Snow explores these questions and does so by piggybacking off the iconic Disney interpretation of the fairy tale. What we get is an interesting blend of Disney’s Snow White meets Martin’s Game of Thrones.
