Mahfood Returns With "GRRL Scouts: Magic Socks"
By Dustin Cabeal
Hell fucking yes. Grrl Scouts is fun as fuck and that's all I expect from it. It's not groundbreaking or enlightening, it's just Mahfood doing his thing and now there's no way to end this sentence without saying I like Mahfood's "thing." I like Mahfood's thing... pervert. I'll be all over this, god the puns don't stop, upon its release, there is again.

Review: American Gods: Shadows #1
By James Anders II
The hype has been heavy. The promotion? Intense. The look? Impressive early. The outcome? Not quite sure as of yet. American Gods, arguably one of the best novels written here in the early 21st Century has gone full circle. Written by master scribe and Literary legend Neil Gaiman in 2001, this multi-awarded visually descriptive tale of myths and legends and old vs. new has always been ripe for development in other mediums. It was too good not to expand. It simply demanded more.

Review: The Best We Could Do
By Zeb Larson
I grew up with Vietnam stories, but on the American side. My grandfather lived in Bien Hoa during the war, and when he left the country on April 29, 1975 he smuggled several people out of the country in his car; one of them was adopted into the family and became my aunt. He went into the war a true believer in the United States, and by its end was far more pessimistic about the country’s goals and intentions. He loved the country and kept going back there for the rest of his life; he even took me in 2006. He also passed on a love of American and Vietnamese literature about the war: The Quiet American, A Bright and Shining Lie, Memories of a Pure Spring, The Destiny of Love, or more recently The Sympathizer…

Review: Super Sons #2
By Dustin Cabeal
Hey, there’s the Damien that everyone knows and despises or at the very least loves to despise. The first issue of Super Sons was shockingly good. You might think after an opening sentence like that, that the second issue manages to disappoint, but you’re wrong. Read the review, find out why.

Review: Coady and the Creepies #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
I’d like to start this review by saying that Coady and the Creepies isn’t really the kind of comic book I normally read. But I’ve also noticed that some of my reviews here on the site are getting repetitive and redundant. So, this week I decided to read something different. I wanted to try something new and fun and lighthearted. I hadn’t heard anything at all about this book, so I went in without knowing what to expect.
Read MoreReview: Ether #5
By Levi Remington
Ether takes the investigative murder-mystery of Sherlock Holmes and infuses it with childlike imagination and adventurous fantasy. Picture a perkier Dresden Files, but replace the main character with an emotionally distant scientist, and give him a giant, purple, chain wearing monkey beast as a sidekick. Matt Kindt and David Rubin have been laying the groundwork for 4 issues now, and with this volume one finale they provide a satisfying conclusion that will leave readers begging for more.

Review: The Wild Storm #2
By Dustin Cabeal
I almost feel silly reviewing The Wild Storm, because it’s that fucking good. It really doesn’t need me singing its praises, but just in case there’s some blind idiot out there with a keyboard thinking of making some weird shit name for themselves by tanking the review, here I am.

By Levi Remington
The Quinlan family has been coming to terms with Grandpa's new sword. You see, Emmett Quinlan has Alzheimer's, or at least he had Alzheimer's, but ever since a space demon rode into West Texas on a magical tornado, Emmett has received something else: Valofax, the multi-talented sword analog to Thor's Mjölnir. This God of Blades can slay demons, rebuild houses, and temporarily cure Alzheimer's with a flick of the wrist, but there's one small caveat: The God of War wants it back.

Review: Kill or be Killed #7
By Daniel Vlasaty
I like Dylan. I enjoy following him and his mental illness and the “mission” he finds himself on. He’s angsty and crazy and depressing and violent. The perfect combination for the kind of comic book I love to read. Which is why Kill or be Killed is always one of my favorite books. It’s one that I look forward to most each month. (Although, as I said in one of my previous reviews, I’m still not too down with the demon aspect of the book. I think this thing would work even better if Dylan was just doing his thing, killing for myself).

Review: The House #2
By Dustin Cabeal
It’s rare that I’ll review an indie title that I didn’t particularly enjoy twice, but here we are discussing the second issue of The House, which released this week. The story, in case you missed the review for the first issue, The House is about a timeless house of horrors that’s found its way to World War II and duped a platoon of American soldiers inside to take refuge from the blizzard outside.
