Defending 3 Criticisms About “Man of Steel”
I did not love Man of Steel, I didn’t leave the theatre talking all excitedly and buzzing with after-movie endorphins. To be honest a mixture of action-drunkenness and intoxication of the old fashion kind had me leaving the film with little more than a hundred yard stare and a gaping mouth.
Review: King Conan - Hour of the Dragon #2
As I revealed in my review of the previous issue I had always wanted to delve into the world of Conan but never had before until I started reading this series. I know I'm only two issues in but I am enjoying what I come across. This world is pretty cool and this issue is an improvement over the last. Adding bits here and there which makes me want to read more.
Review: Think Tank #8
So many people thought that Think Tank was going to be cancelled after just a few issues and to those people I say, "Ha! and HA!" Eight issues in and already we've gotten more drama, action and twists then a day time soap. Not that I watch soaps, but I think you get my point.
Review: B.P.R.D. Vampire #4
Shit has rarely hit the fan in such splendid fashion and come at you with such a curve ball. It’s really one of my favorite things about the universe Mignola and his team creates, in a world populated by monsters and faeries, you’d think there’d be very little rhyme or reason.
Review: Akaneiro #2
This is a comic that is acts as a prequel to a game of the same name. That game and this comic also take inspirations from Red Riding Hood and throwing them in with mythological Japan. It’s a mouthful I know but I got it out. This issue isn't really an improvement on the previous, offering more of the same really but just read my review.
Review: Hoax Hunters - Case Files #1
This is an issue that deserves all the recognition in the world. Not too many people, including myself, knew too much about it other than it was some sort of Hoax Hunters Annual.
Review: Kiss Solo #4
George Peter John Criscuola. You know him better as “The Catman,” the first drummer for the glamrock band Kiss. In this last of the solo issues (hey, what about the other members? Eric Carr deserves an ‘ish in memory for his drumming!), Criss’ Catman persona gets to, umm, purr.
Review: The Bounce #2
During its inaugural group review here at Comic Bastards, Joe Casey’s The Bounce #1 received the following scores: 3 Passes, 2 Buys, 1 Borrow.
Review: Judge Dredd #8
Dude the covers for this issue are rad. I always can dig a comic when it has a cover that draws my attention right from the get go. Considering how graphic the Judges can be
Review: Ghostbusters #5
The events surrounding the Ghostbusters abduction have affected all those involved in different ways. Ray explains everything in a lengthy exposition over coffee with Jenny Moran.
Review: Mind MGMT #12
I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little nervous to review Mind MGMT #12. Given that Dustin has steadfastly captained this love boat through 11 regular issues, a zero issue, a few negative issues and one very cool cover shout-out to himself and Comic Bastards
Group Review: TMNT #23 “City Fall” Part 2
You can expect a group review or at the very least a dual review for TMNT until “City Fall” has concluded because it’s that big of a storyline. Seriously, I don’t think the Turtles world has been this big and different for decades so there’s a lot of interest in the series.
Group Review: Lazarus #1
Greg Rucka is yet another big name in comics that’s taken to Image to make a creator owned book. Lazarus has had a ton of previews and information surrounding it, but not exactly hype.
Review: The Last of Us – American Dreams #3 (of 4)
Well Last of Us is out now and while I haven’t played it yet (I know, I know, it’s called a budget people) I can at least take comfort in this amazing mini-series.
Review: X-O Manowar #14
Aric rallies the slaves held on the planet Loam to rise up against their Vine captors. Meanwhile, the priest surrenders to the Vine overlords.
Review: Jupiter’s Legacy #2
Like another book this week, I have inherited one which once stood proudly and agape as the recipient of what I like to call a Comic Bastards “Comic Bookakke,” otherwise known to the church crowd as a “group review.”
