Review: Sci-Fu vol. 1

By Sam King

Sci-Fu takes a young boy from Brooklyn who likes to “drop sick beats and rhymes” and tosses him onto a planet where he must battle robots with a musical, science fiction kind of kung-fu. The story seems to love combining hip hop, science fiction elements, and martial arts, which I can applaud since it is a unique mix. However, this one didn’t hit the right beats for me, and it felt very messy at times.

Review: Santa Clause Private Eye vol. 1

By Sam King

What is Santa Claus Private Eye Vol. 1 about? Take a magical childhood icon, add festive humor, mix in detective fiction, and sprinkle it with murder. Pour all of that into a hot chocolate mug, and you’ve got Santa Claus Private Eye in a chestnut shell. That is the best way I can describe it. We have all heard that Santa Claus knows who has been naughty and who has been nice. This story has a fresh take on how he gets his information…or rather what his magical intel can reveal when applied to another occupation.

Review: Come Into Me #1

By Garrett Hanneken

We are at a time where human beings are obsessed with sharing their personal lives which is why Come Into Me’s concept may seem bizarre but, more importantly, realistic.

In this comic, you will get a feel for what it would be like if someone shared their consciousness with another. After a failed presentation with the transfer of one mind into another’s, the founder of this scientific advancement becomes desperate. He decides to continue with his practice experiments on others and then ultimately on himself. However, something goes terribly wrong.

Review: Sonic the Hedgehog #2

By Garrett Hanneken

This comic can be defined with its fast-paced action from panel to panel as the art bursts out with Sonic’s speed. But in the end, it all seems a little too familiar in regards to story compared to the previous issue.

Sonic saves a group of citizens from another robot attack, but this time he is accompanied by Amy Rose. Amy tries to talk to Sonic, just like Tails from the last issue, but Sonic is too busy with his own agenda to truly listen. In conclusion, Sonic races on to the next town to find Knuckles which seems to be the pattern of the series so far: Sonic goes from town to town teaming up with various allies.

Review: Sideways #3

By Dustin Cabeal

I live in this weird comic bubble in which I don’t seek out or read other people’s thoughts on comics for the most part. I never read what anyone is saying about a book I’m reviewing because there’s always a chance that it could slip its way into my review. I don’t know how Sideways is being received, but I can almost guess that it’s a mixed bag.

Review: Eternal Empire #8

By Cat Wyatt

After the conclusion of the last issue, when they sensed that the Empress was nearby, Rion and Tair know they don’t have much time left to prepare. If they’re ever going to have a chance at taking her out, they must do it soon. Of course, there’s a very good chance that she sensed them at the same time, and thus their attack will not be a surprise. Still, if they’re going to save anyone from her wraith, they must act soon.

Review: Gideon Falls #2

By Dustin Cabeal

If you liked the first issue of Gideon Falls, then good news, you’ll likely like the second issue as well. Having read the first issue in advance to its release, it’s been longer for me since returning to the series. Reading the second issue felt very much like reading the first issue again and left me with almost the same vibe. This time around though, there isn’t that one killer scene. You know the one, with Father Tom… shit was bad ass.

Review: Suicide Squad #39

By Cat Wyatt

Issue 39 of Suicide Squad was left off with the Wall (America’s fantastic new replacement for the Suicide Squad) going rogue, hacking into the Pentagon, and somehow taking every single person in Washington D.C. hostage via possession. Oh, and the Wall will only allow the Suicide Squad team in, anybody else enters the area and every person under his control dies. Now, I have theories about what’s going on here, but it’ll be interesting to see how this all goes down.

Review: DuckTales #8

By Sam King

DuckTales the comic series takes the characters from the 2017 reboot of the original cartoon that ran from 1987-1990 and puts them in new adventures. Having owned and watched every original DuckTales episode, I guess you could call me a pretty big fan of the "franchise" in general. I’m in the middle of the reboot and couldn’t pass on the chance to review the matching comics. I wouldn’t say that the new adventures beat out the originals, but for a fresh audience, it isn’t that bad.
