Preview: Resident Alien: An Alien in New York

March 26, 2018

By Dustin Cabeal

Welcome to an exclusive preview of Resident Alien: An Alien in New York! If I'm not mistaken, this is the fifth volume of the Resident Alien series. I have followed and reviewed damn near every issue of this series, and it is one of my favorites from Dark Horse. Now, I'm not going to drone on and one about what the series is about because it's worth reading on your own, but the title, tends to do most of the work. I will say that if you've never read the series, you can pretty much jump on with any volume. There is an over-arching story that's being told, but every mystery is self-contained to that volume.

Review: Ultraman vol. 9

March 21, 2018

By Dustin Cabeal

The last volume wrapped up a big chunk of the story and began threading the needle for the next big arc. In a way, this volume feels like a brand-new volume. It follows a new character and introduces not one, but two new Ultramen… damn series is going Ultra crazy with the Ultramen if you ask me, but it always works out.

Review: Harley Quinn #40

March 21, 2018

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #39 of Harley Quinn left most of Coney Island in varying levels of chaos. The Penguin’s goons and other enlisted villains have been wreaking merry havoc on the place (especially Killer Croc), Eggy got himself egg-napped (sorry, couldn’t resist), Coach also got kidnapped (what is with this group getting kidnapped all the time), and Harley is taking on more fights than she can handle. In short, it’s a recipe for disaster.

Review: Astra: Lost in Space vol. 2

March 21, 2018

By Dustin Cabeal

Typically, in manga, when a group of kids is thrown together, they usually become chums. It takes a volume, but it’s so commonplace that it stands out when that doesn’t happen. Even with some of the groundwork being laid out in the first volume, our group of teens lost in space aren’t the best of friends. There’s some that get alone better than others, and two of them still haven’t integrated into the group at all.

Review: Batwoman #13

March 21, 2018

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #13 of Batwoman starts off with Kate searching desperately for her sister, Elizabeth. She’s on a video conference with the asylum that supposedly is taking care of her, but they’re giving her a BS answer that certainly makes it appear that they’re covering up for her kidnapping (given asylums reputations in the Batman universe, this isn’t terribly shocking. Though it certainly is disappointing). Thankfully Kate already knows who took her, because the asylum is being worse than useless.
