Review: Goosebumps: Download and Die! #3
By Garrett Hanneken
Goosebumps Download and Die reached its conclusion and as expected it gathers up the monsters placed throughout the story for its final issue. However, its execution resulted in a lackluster homage to the original series.
Review: Dodge City #3
Last issue, the Jazz Panda dodge ball team saw the return of a former teammate and a lot of drama was stirring up. This time we get more game and less emotional strife, but we see the team having good chemistry and teamwork. It is another fun issue that pushes the pacing up at a point where some adrenaline was definitely needed.
Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #82
By Damien Becton
There is definitely a lot of work that goes into making a comic book - not even an entire run, just a single issue. Sometimes there is the concern of having “too many cooks in the kitchen” for effective storytelling to take place. As I read the opening pages of the book and saw the credits, I had initial concerns of “too many cooks in the kitchen” when I noticed long series of names TMNT had attached to it. Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman and Bob Curnow and Dave Wachter and Ronda Pattison was a mouthful. However, I’m glad to say that I was proven wrong with TMNT #82. Eastman and Waltz have been writing these characters for a long time, and it shows.
Review: Green Lanterns #47
By Cat Wyatt
We’re nearing the conclusion to the Ghosts of the Past plot, and man have things gotten pretty intense. Jess is trapped inside her own memories, courtesy of Singularity Jain; Simon is trying to get inside to rescue her, and the rest of the Justice League are waiting outside and probably wishing they could do more to help.
Review: Justice League: No Justice #1
By Jonathan Edwards
To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t exactly excited about this book, and that’s mainly because Scott Snyder is in the driver’s seat. Don’t get me wrong; I like him well enough as a writer. However, the Snyder-spearheaded Dark Nights: Metal only just wrapped up back in March, yet here he is with another crossover event impacting the whole of the DCU. Okay, sure, James Tynion IV and Joshua Williamson are co-writing Justice League: No Justice, but Snyder’s the one with top billing. And, regardless of the actual quality of his work, that starts to be just a little bit too much company-wide creative control for a single writer for my taste. But, despite going in feeling that way, I still quite enjoyed Justice League: No Justice #1.
Review: Angelic vol. 1
By Hunter T. Patrick
Never judge a book by its cover. I read this going off of how wonderful the cover was. After reading, I had one word I could not wait to type. Finally. I finally finished this godawful book. The art looks cool, and it is not the best. The story is intriguing enough. The writing was groan-inducing. The dialogue is from animals such as monkey, so you would expect monkeys to say all this, but it went overboard, and I had to endure the word ‘poop’ about twice every other page. The easy part of this review is what went wrong, so let me state what worked first.
Review: Proxima Centauri #1
By Hunter T. Patrick
First and foremost, this artwork is great… Okay great is an understatement, it is phenomenal. This is a book where there is no need to buy this for the writing, but just to look at all the very unique art. It looks straight out of a children’s book, but with a more mature tone. The artwork fits the story and setting perfectly with a more fantasy book with issues of childhood. I am not familiar with the creator (Farel Dalrymple), and I hope this book has the creator be more well known in the comic community after this.
Review: The Couch #1
By Hunter T. Patrick
The Couch is something special to me as it is my very first truly Indie comic ever read. When I came aboard Comic Bastards, this comics name kept attracting me, and I finally decided to try this title. I am very glad I did. There are several things that make this issue work, and the first is diversity. Diversity is an interesting word and in comics is controversial when looking at mainstream books. You cannot help but notice how white everyone is, and there has been a lot of times (especially in recent years) where white characters are replaced by minorities. Neither makes everyone happy as when everyone is white is was natural for the time, but not anymore, and when a white character is forced out for diversity, there is nothing natural about it. This book firmly places diversity in a natural way, not everyone is coincidently white, or coincidently not-white. It seemed like a minor background thing, and whether on purpose or not, the diversity that was included felt natural right from the first issue.
Review: Sheets
By Sam King
Sheets is what you get when you take a lonely girl, a dead boy, and a financially threatened laundromat, and put it all on a spin cycle. It is adorable, thought-provoking, and imaginative all at once. The artwork is clean and smooth, like freshly laundered linens. All laundry puns aside, it is a good read that has some deep themes hidden underneath a mostly domestic setting.
Review: Reborn vol. 1
By Sam King
Reborn takes the question of what happens after we die and turns it into a fantasy adventure full of monster killing and the promise of a better future. The artwork is top notch, and the pace is largely optimal for the story being told. This is also a complete story, beginning to end, so this volume will not leave you waiting to see what happens which is a nice plus. There are a few convenience issues, but we will get to that.
