Review: The Flash Annual #1

By Cat Wyatt

Whenever I see an annual issue, I always assume that the creators are setting up for a major event in a series (or two). The Flash Annual is no exception to this, which just further affirms that belief for me. From the title (Who Remembers Wally West) it’s pretty clear that this is going to be a Wally heavy issue, though likely the other Flash’s will be making their appearances as well (especially since they are setting up for a major event).

Review: Umami #3

By Dustin Cabeal

As I said on my podcast, if Umami had released just one more issue in 2017, it would have likely ended up on my best of list. The inner debate with myself was non-stop about this book a one or two more that were also very close to making the top five. What Umami has going for it above all other comics, is the overwhelming feeling of happiness that it fills you will. That is the main dish that Ken Niimura’s two characters are cooking up, joy and happiness.

Review: Theatrics vol. 1

By Cat Wyatt

If you've taken a look at the description for Theatrics, you’ve probably noticed that it’s pretty vague and short. Don’t let that put you off from the series. Despite the description, Theatrics is a deep and intriguing study of human nature; the good, the evil, the flexibility and ability to recuperate and recover, and everything in between.

Review: Söngr #1

By Thea Srinivasan

For the first time in my life, I listened to Led Zeppelin. While I will never fall in love with them, I now understand why the authors of this piece chose to showcase their lyrics.  But are the lyrics what readers want to read? Or are they just another menagerie of long-held desires by the author?

Review: Out of the Woods: A Journey Through Depression and Anxiety

By Cat Wyatt

Where to start; Out of the Woods is a beautiful and thought-provoking story that helps to explain the experiences one has when dealing with depression and anxiety. The main character, Brent is suffering from both, and like many people in today’s society is afraid of the stigma that comes with treatment. More than that, he feels it is wrong to have to take a medication or see a psychologist like they’re a sign of weakness. But the truth is, like any disease out there, the best way to handle it is to go see the appropriate medical professional to get help. Depression and anxiety are no exceptions, no matter how society may feel about it.

Review: Batgirl #19

By Cat Wyatt

Batgirl #19 is the start of a new plot, and I’m sure I’m not the only one that was a little bit confused upon seeing this cover. Batgirl and Cobblepot working together? According to the caption on the cover (which can sometimes be misleading, intentionally or not), they’re ‘Burnside’s newest crime-fighting duo.’ What alternative universe have we been flung to? Obviously I just had to read this one and see what was going on!

Review: Monstress #13

By Ben Snyder

Monstress #13 begins the newest story arc in Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda’s sprawling fantasy epic. While still bogged down by some of the issues that plagued it previously, Monstress #13 introduces enough wrinkles into the Monstress formula to spice it up a bit while also providing a fun and entertaining read.

Take that Victory Gin! Yeah… fuck you and your cheap bottle that breaks at the most believable spot! Who drinks gin? People? I know people that drink gin! Why the fuck is that a cover!
