Review: The Weatherman #2

By Dustin Cabeal

The long await return of The Weatherman! At least for me. One of the perks of reviewing comics is that on occasion you get to read comic early, such was the case with this series, but the catch is that you’re then locked in waiting longer than normal for the next issue. I was very excited to read more of this series after the first issue, and now that excitement has only grown.

Review: Zombie Tramp #50

By Dustin Cabeal

It’s been a long while since I’ve reviewed Zombie Tramp and admittedly, even longer since I’ve read it. One of the things I’ve always enjoyed about the series is the fact that you can jump back in and still figure things out. It’s how good comics have always been. There was a time you could jump into any comic no matter the numbering, and with a few issues you’d get the story or be there for the next chapter. Everything I learned about comics was done in this way; no shiny #1’s needed.

Review: Ice Cream Man #5

By Hunter T. Patrick

Free falling. The most surprising thing about the series is how strong it began, and how it does the impossible and keep getting better and better. If you missed issues 1-4 do not worry, each issue is a stand-alone tale thus far. Typically, the plot is about madness caused by the mysterious titular character, the Ice Cream Man. This issue is no difference besides the fact that he is never shown in the way he usually is. His catchphrase “lickity-split” is what distinguishes him and this time it is said by various other characters. This is what happens when an entire business building becomes affected by Ice Cream Man. The issue goes from a man jumping off a 100-floor building and confessing his sins, counting down to the bottom, and it moves to the business building and the madness that ensure. This is Ice Cream Man at his most ferocious, or at least so far.

Review: Batwoman #17

By Cat Wyatt

With the last Batwoman plot fully wrapped up, it’s time to start a new adventure. Batwoman #17 brings us the Time of Your Life plot, and of course, that’s actually a time-related pun, not an indication of Batwoman a vacation. Still, it’s good to know that she’s still on the job, even with everything that’s happened between her and Batman.

Review: Cyko-KO! #1

By Damien Becton

Alterna Comics has been making a name for themselves by publishing not only comic books that are not only extremely affordable (they’re mostly $1.25), but also creating and publishing truly engaging and unique stories. By publishing Cyko-KO, Alterna ventures into an even more unique and uncharted territory with a 70’s sitcom inspired, 4th-wall breaking, and all-ages aimed comic. Certainly a unique premise, but it does not mean anything if it isn’t executed well. Fortunately, it is, and you’re in for a pretty good time if you’re Cyko-KO’s intended audience.

Review: MCMLXXV #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Welcome to 1975. Think about everyday life in 1975, if you were old/young enough to remember such a time. Think about the music, and the atmosphere of big cities. Think about the gangs, monsters, and ninjas associated with that time period. If you cannot remember all three of the last part well then you are in for a treat. MXMLXXV introduces 1975 in a vibrant, dark place. The people in this town city are all having to deal with a world that is hard to get by without some random attack from ninjas or the like. The series revolves around a cab driver, who is sexual partners with the DJ who loves to do what a DJ does and constantly play music, this being from the 1970s. The protagonist, the cab driver, is full of fight in her as one has to be in this time.

Review: Batman #51

By Cat Wyatt

Batman #51 is the first issue after the major event that could have been, and unsurprisingly it’s titled ‘Cold Days.’ This holds up for a couple of reasons, one of which being Batman’s mood, the other being the villain portrayed on the cover. It looks like it’s time for another classic Batman versus Mr. Freeze…or is it?

Review: The Hookah Girl

By Kelly Gaines

How do you tell your story when the rest of the world has already decided what your story is? If Hookah Girl is any indication, you do it with paper dolls- paper dolls, humor, and brazen honesty. Marguerite Dabaie's creation is a first-hand account of life in the United States as a Palestinian woman presented to us through a mixture of personal stories, observations, opinions, and visual guides. The result is a comic unlike any I've reviewed before, and I am very glad to have the opportunity to do so.

Review: Green Lanterns #51

By Cat Wyatt

It seems like the Green Lanterns can’t ever catch a break, can they? Set shortly after they had dealt with the Darkstars, the Green Lanterns are now facing a new and less understood threat. Worse, thanks to the conclusion of the last episode it seems like they might not even be able to safely trust their own. This issue, Green Lanterns #51, Evil’s Might, continues on with that threat of concern.

Review: Vengeance, Nevada #1

By Damien Becton

When you read a debut issue of a comic, there are certain things that you would expect. Things like big action, plenty of set up for following issues, and introductions to the core characters are just a few. Many times, comics incorporate these elements rather ineffectively. Fortunately for the debut issue of Vengeance, Nevada #1, writer, B.J. Mendelson (Social Media is Bullshit), and artist, Piotr Czaplarski, do an excellent job with these aspects by introducing a pretty interesting world and juggling a bunch of moving parts.

Review: DC/Young Animal: Milk Wars

By Jonathan Edwards

DC/Young Animal: Milk Wars is a weird kind of crossover. I know, big surprise from the story about the extradimensional corporation Retonn weaponizing milk to “homogenize” the DCU. But, what I mean is, it’s not a dedicated five-issue miniseries, nor is it a five-part story taking place in single issues of the various books involved. Instead, it’s five separate one-shots, each pairing DC and Young Animal characters. Now, Grant Morrison did something similar with The Multiversity, but there, it directly ties into the narrative. Whereas, with Milk Wars, it’s a stylistic choice more than anything else. But, what makes it truly strange is the fact that two of the one-shots, Mother Panic/Batman Special #1and Shade the Changing Girl/Wonder Woman Special #1 have little to no impact on the plot. You could remove both of those issues and their respective characters, and the story literally wouldn’t change at all.
