5 Questions About 5x5 Fest

By Dustin Cabeal

Ghost City Comics is presenting another contest on their site and this time it's called 5x5 Fest. Essentially you have five days to make five pages of a comic and will be given a prop, setting and a line of dialogue to include in your comic. Judges will pick the winners and I will be reviewing the winners. Exciting right?! Keeping with the theme of "5" I asked Michael Ruiz-Unger and Tucker Tota about 5x5 Fest.

Review: Dragon Ball Super E.120

By Erika Suarez 

Gohan takes a brief lead on this week’s battle between Universe 3. The Universe reveal’s their grand plan with some tough robots, and it's nothing new and exciting that we haven’t seen. With the tournament drawing closer to its end, the episode fails to keep us entertained and gives us another rushed felt battle and leaving a lot of room for potential.

Review: Suicide Squad #32

By Cat Wyatt

The first two panels of issue 32 are really sweet, but also a complete change of pace. It’s a cute little scene with June (Enchantress) teaching Waylon (Killer Croc) how to read. Considering the events that have been happening in Suicide Squad lately, it seems oddly out of place (though I did love that little moment there). This leads me to be very concerned about Waylon’s state by the end of this issue (have to keep reminding myself about the lack of permanency in comic deaths).

Review: Wonder Woman #37

By Cat Wyatt

Issue 37 brings a conclusion to the Children of Gods plotline, though I very much suspect this will not bring an end to the Darkseid plot (there’s no way they’re taking him down in a single issue, even with daddy dearest tagging in). For those that need a recap; last issue left us with Jason weakened (from using too many attacks) Diana likewise (Darkseid turned her into a snack) and Zeus arriving to beat the snot out of Darkseid. Finally! The fight I’ve been waiting for! (Ok, not the exact fight I was waiting for, I just want to see Darkseid get curb stomped).

Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #35

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #35 more or less picks up right where 36 left off; our four Green Lantern Corpsmen (John, Guy, Hal, and Kyle) have found the asteroid (in Sector 3001, for those that are curious) that the Controllers are holding Ganthet and Sayd. They’re still running under the assumption that the Guardians are alive (and obviously we know that to be the case, thank goodness for perspective shifts!). Based on the decision made in the last issue, these four lanterns are the entirety of the rescue team. I still have my doubts about how good of an idea that is, and clearly some of the other guys are having second thoughts too. Minus Guy of course…his logic for it only being the four of them is interesting, to say the least.

Berkeley Breathed's "Bloom County: Shenaniganary" Coming in 2018

Press Release

Picking up right where the previous volume left off, Bloom County: Shenaniganary collects year three of Berkeley Breathed’s newest Bloom County strips. 
 
The residents of Bloom County are back to put their trademark tragi-comic spin on the horrors of the previous year, so lock all your worries in the anxiety closet for a bit. Who knows? When you come back they may be just the tiniest bit funnier. The stakes are higher, the punchlines are sharper, and the laughter is more desperate!

Review: Green Lanterns #37

By Cat Wyatt

It’s not every day that a Green Lanterns cover has a conversation on it, but that’s exactly what happened for issue #37. Right smack dab on the front we see Jess and Simon surrounded by small oods (thank you Doctor Who, for giving me a creature to reference here). Now in all likelihood they’re the Molites or another race we’ve seen recently, but they’re so stylized here I couldn’t say that for certain without opening up the issue and reading it (well done DC). The most striking part about the scene is Simon’s ring informing us (or more accurately, him) that “probability of death [is] 100%.” Yikes.

Review: Umami #2

By Dustin Cabeal

Umami nearly made my “best of” list for the year. The thing that kept me from adding it was the fact that I had only read one issue, but then… here’s the second issue. I’m still not sure if I’m going to add it since it’s a tight list that I’ve already completed, but don’t be surprised if on my review for the third issue I mention kicking myself or some such nonsense.

Review: Dark Fang #2

By Cat Wyatt

The more I think about the first issue of Dark Fang, the more impressed I am with it. The second issue doesn’t disappoint either, though I don’t think it was as groundbreaking as the first (kind of hard to compete with yourself there). For those that missed the first issue; Dark Fang is about a vampire whose way of living is being threatened thanks to global warming. Yes, you read that right. This is a legit vampire story focused on climate change. I can honestly say that I didn’t see that coming.

Review: Assassinistas #1

By Ben Snyder

The trope of an ex-assassin being pulled back into their old line of work has been done so many times before with varying degrees of success. Lady Killer has been a fun, easy read from recent memory, while films such as John Wick have been tremendous box office success. Assassinistas #1 creates its own standard as a somewhat more indie candidate. With art that looks ripped right out an Adult Swim program and a story packed with enough emotion and humor to keep it interesting, Assassinistas proves to be a stellar read.

Review: Ninja-K #2

By Dustin Cabeal

What has been particularly satisfying to me as a reader of Ninjak is how different Christos Gage’s era of the series has been already. All the familiar elements of the universe are there, but Gage isn’t attempting to continue Matt Kindt’s style. It gives the feel of the torching having been passed. Hopefully, like Kindt, Gage will stay on the book for a great while.

Review: Harley Quinn #33

By Cat Wyatt

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of this issue (I swear I’m not avoiding thinking/talking about Mason’s death or anything), let’s talk about the cover for a minute. Considering the heavier tone that’s been occurring in Harley’s comics, this cover is a little bit jarring. Though also somewhat welcome – perhaps this is a way of showing that everything will be ok, in the end? I know it’s more likely that it’s just a Christmas-themed Harley cover, but hey, a girl can hope!

Review: Hellboy: Krampusnacht

By Dustin Cabeal

Like many comic book readers, I was mentally aroused by Mike Mignola and Adam Hughes working together on a Hellboy comic. Sure, I knew it would be a “lost story” type of deal which has become a favorite of Mignola since sending HB to hell. But Hughes art was enough to make me not give two damns about that. That and I would personally like to see Hellboy come back to life already and start punching the Mignolaverse back into shape.

Review: Quantum and Woody #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

I am kind of new to Valiant Comics. I’ve obviously known about Valiant, and I’m sure I’ve even read a Valiant book here or there. But nothing all that regular or consistent like I’ve been reading lately. I have been enjoying books like X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Ninja-K, and Secret Weapons. So, I’ll admit that I was kind of excited to give Quantum and Woody a shot as well. I will say that I do remember reading one issue of a previous Quantum and Woody series and not being super into it. I just picked up a random issue at a friend’s recommendation, and I think that was the problem. I didn’t know the characters. I wasn’t invested in the story. It was just a thing I read and didn’t like. But I didn’t hold it against the characters or the book or whatever. It just wasn’t my thing – at the time – and if my life has taught me anything, I am all for second chances.

Review: Aquaman #31

By Dustin Cabeal

For some reason, I randomly opened this comic and was surprised by the artwork. It was enough to make me read the issue, even if I really disliked one of the character designs. Aquaman is just one of those characters that have been screwed up too many times and every attempt to fix him always includes the shit that broke him in the first place. The New 52 was a perfect spot to change all that, but instead, it was used to address the comic readers conception of the character rather than figuring out how to make underwater worlds appealing in the modern era.

Review: Evolution #2

By Cat Wyatt

The second issue of Evolution picks up more or less where the first one left off; it also continues to bounce around between the three already introduced locations (Philadelphia is Dr. Lee’s, Los Angeles is Claire’s, Rome belongs to the nun’s perspective). I do feel like less happened in issue two, on the whole; though the transitions were less jarring this time, possibly because I was expecting them.

Review: 30 Days of Night #1 (2017)

By Dustin Cabeal

I’ve read a lot of 30 Days of Night. At one point it was the comic that put IDW on the map, and the offshoots were a staple in their monthly publishing line. When I saw a new 30 Days of Night I wondered, what the hell is this then? Even after reading the issue I was a little bit confused until I saw an ad for it in another IDW comic. It’s a re-imagining of the story “for a new era.” This era doesn’t feel vastly different from the era in which it came, but it is over fifteen years since the original series released. It feels like ages since that shit fuck movie as well.
