Review: Gintama
By Robert Ramos
I spent countless hours and many days figuring out how to go about reviewing the live-action rendition of my all-time favorite anime. Should I go about it as an ultimate fanboy? Or, maybe, go in as unbiased critic? How I ever should I step into the realm of reviewing after being gone for so long? OH FUCK WHAT DO I DO!? Spoiler: I fanboy the shit out of this review. Sorry. So how did this movie fair out as a live-action flick of a beloved anime/manga? Let’s find out, shall we?
Review: Rick and Morty Presents: The Vindicators #1
By Kelly Gaines
Fans of the animated hit Rick and Morty know the gig- a hilarious, grim, and consistent deconstruction of genre after genre, trope after trope, and narrative after narrative. Rick and Morty is part comedy TV program, and part societal framing device fashioned in the style of Deconstructive criticism- the literary critique style so complex that my Sophomore Seminar chose to skip that chapter of critical theory. Rick and Morty creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have put that decision to shame.

Review: Skinned
By Dustin Cabeal
Skinned received a beautiful hardcover recently from Insight Comics, and they were kind enough to send me a copy for review. It sat on my desk in a sea of reviews just waiting for me to get to it. Originally when I saw the art and read about the series, during its digital premiere, I was curious about the concept since it seemed to take a note from Non-Player, but unlike that series, it actually concluded and didn’t take a bunch of people’s money for a long ride.
Review: Assassin's Creed: Origins #1
By Ben Snyder
While last year’s Assassin’s Creed: Origins proved to be a fantastically enjoyable video game, the first issue of its comic book counterpart Assassin’s Creed: Origins fails to meet the former's standards. Focusing on the character Aya in Rome around the time of Caesar’s assassination sounds like a fascinating concept in theory being that Aya was such a strong character in the game. But in Assassin’s Creed: Origins #1 Aya is simply given little to do and little space to do it in making her feel like a spectator in her own story.
Review: Out of Nothing
By Dustin Cabeal
Out of the titles from Nobrow that I’ve read I’ve enjoyed them. That’s typically the case I find when I dig into a new publisher, but there’s an inevitable wall that’s hit. Not everything can be fantastic and amazing. There are going to be stories that don’t hit with readers and reviewers, and for me, that story is Out of Nothing.
Review: Batman #42
By Cat Wyatt
Issue #42 of Batman has one of the more dramatic titles I’ve seen lately, ‘Hunted by the Justice League.’ It reminds me of the Injustice series, even though I know that isn’t the case here. Based on the cover it isn’t hard to get a good idea of who is behind the fight of Batman versus the Justice League (hint: how many Batman villains do you know of that love plants, are frequently represented by the color green, and have been known to hypnotize people via toxins?).
Review: Renegade: Martin Luther – The Graphic Biography
By Dustin Cabeal
Well, this is a first for me. I think the idea of a graphic biography about a religious figure seemed different enough to me that I wanted to give it a read. I’m not opposed to graphic biographies, but I do find myself enjoying them less and less. A lot of that has to do with the presentation, which is definitely one of the things that Renegade: Martin Luther has going against it.
Review: Batman: White Knight #6
By Ben Snyder
Batman: White Knight #6 largely serves as the mini-series’ “I told you so” moment in which everyone realizes they may have needed Batman all along. After everyone from Jack to Commissioner Gordon to even Nightwing plot on capturing the Batman, all hell breaks loose, and his services are needed more than ever, especially with the issue ending with a surprise appearance from The Joker. While Sean Murphy has done a heroic job with the series so far, this issue feels like a bit of a letdown.
