Review: Skin & Earth #2

By Ashley Gibbs

After the first issue of this series caught my attention, as the music linked to it, I found myself looking forward to what Skin & Earth #2 would have to offer, despite my suspicions as to where the story would lead. Set it in world destroyed by polish where the rich get richer and the poor just work and die off, this series is done by the musician Lights. She writes it and does all of the artwork which is very commendable, it’s entirely her vision. Her new album is also linked to this comic and so far, two music videos have come out that reflect the story being told here which is great experience to see things coming to life in different mediums. This issue focuses on En’s relationship with her lover and its unfortunate end.

Review: Clue #3

By Ashley Gibbs

Clue #3 marks the halfway point in this fun and colorful series based on the popular Hasbro board game of the same name. While the first issue acted as set up, the second put certain wheels into motion and here we see all of the characters are linked together by a certain flower. The and hows and the whys are still a mystery but everyone in the house, except for Ms. Scarlett and the detectives, see these flowers as very important and valuable. While all the details have yet to be shown to us or the guests, it’s clear Mr. Boddy was in no way just an innocent party host and the events happening in this series have been carefully crafted.

Review: Justice League of America #12

By Jonathan Edwards

Y'know, there actually is a reason I keep coming back to review this book despite my nigh constant condemnation of it. Actually, if anything, it's because I'm so vocal about how bad Justice League of America is that I want to be among the first to recognize it if I ever end up being wrong and this series does eventually get better. Now, is that the case here? Eh, kind of I guess? Personally, I'd only describe this as the least bad issue in a long time. Issue #10 may have been more substantial, but it still had its glaring problems. Justice League of America #12 on the other hand is bland, but it technically still functions. At least as far as structure is concerned. It's also the first issue of the series to properly follow-up on something that happened in the prequel one-shots. And no, Vanity, Caden, and Ray's mom showing up in the previous two issues don't count. Aside from that being a bad story full of holes in logic and other problems, the Might Beyond the Mirror wasn't introduced as a concept until issue #4 or #5. Anyway, Panic in the Microverse: Part One.

Review: Freight #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I knew what type of story I was getting right away with Freight which is a good thing. It slaps the premise on the inside cover with the credits instead of making you read a blank page. It’s not 100% necessary that you read that page to get the story and so I will first point out that I was grateful for the way the creators presented it. Take note comic creators, don’t give the reader a wall of text to read when starting your comic.

Review: Buried: The Last Days of Mankind #1

By Dustin Cabeal

It’s a bit of an understatement to say that Buried is influenced by Mad Max and X-Men. The issue opens with a quote from Mad Max: Fury Road, but I’m not knocking it for wearing its influences on its sleeve. Hell, at least the creator is open about it to save the constant comparison while reading the issue.

Review: Miyoshi #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Miyoshi is such a hard book to review. On the one hand, it’s well-written (with some exception I’ll get to later), illustrated wonderfully and overall not a bad book. On the other hand, it’s about a woman being tortured, raped and beaten. Sure, she’s portrayed as being very strong and seemingly overcoming all of this, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s not offering anything new to this style of story, nor did we need yet another comic about those three subjects.

Review: Attack on Bug City!

By Dustin Cabeal

Attack on Bug City is a story in the upcoming anthology Colossal Chaos being published by Stache. I’m letting you know this up front because this is not a review of the entire anthology, nor do I have any plans to review the entire anthology. You can look for the anthology on Kickstarter if you’re interested in this story.

They Finally Put All The Monkey Franchises Together... Yay?

By Dustin Cabeal

It's rare I comment on a press release anymore mostly because no one ever agrees with me and I don't particularly care that much anymore. I let my reviews do the talking, but this gets an exception. Not only do I actively dislike both franchises, but I've never had a morsel of a desire to see them paired together. I'm sure the complicated class commentary of Apes will work with the giant fighting monster commentary that Kong has become. Fucking yay. Side note, I haven't been excited about any of BOOM!'s recent announcements. I'm going to just search for those diamonds in the rough that they produce like Godshaper and the franchise licensed crap.

Review: Mighty Mouse #3

By Jonathan Edwards

I wasn't originally going to write this review. Neither of the previous issues did enough to make me want to keep reading, nor did they provide much to talk about while reviewing them. I really didn't have a reason to do anything but skip this one. However, I didn't. I couldn't tell you why, but instead I decided I'd read the issue first at let that be the judge. Turns out, Mighty #3 is pretty bad. I don't know if this is the point when the creative team stopped caring or just the proof that they never cared, but it's honestly kind of amazing to me how much of this issue feels like a blatant cop-out. The characters are entirely one-dimensional, and I don't think a single thing that happened felt like anything more than outright plot convenience.

Review: Cobber #1-3

By Dustin Cabeal

I have no idea what a “Cobber” is, and it's definitely not explained in these first three issues of Cobber. I’m also never going to look it up in case you were wondering. Cobber is essentially a modern day western. The story line is beyond familiar in that it’s been done a hundred times and will likely be done a hundred more times.

Kill or Be Killed #11 Review

By Ben Snyder

Just when things seem to be getting better for Dylan, Kill or Be Killed #11 brings him back down. Despite Dylan’s overarching narration throughout the past issues, I actually did forget that the entire story as of now has been a flashback in which we’re desperately trying to meet up with Dylan’s present. It can be frustrating because although Dylan points this out, we are again thrown back into the flashback format. Regardless, Kill or Be Killed #11is another great addition to an already fantastic story.
