Review: Doctor Strange

By Dustin Cabeal

Finally finding the time to see Doctor Strange I felt the overwhelming need to review the film. I’ve had an interest in this film since its announcement and casting because A) I like Benedict Cumberbatch and B) I wanted to see who Marvel would handle an unknown character in their cinema universe.

Unboxing: Loot Crate November 2016

By Dustin Cabeal

The theme this month is "Magical", but this box is anything but. There's some Doctor Strange merch, a shirt that could have been cool if you could actually tell what fucking movie it was from and one of the worst comic books of the year. That's right, the mystery has been solved, BOOM! got Big Trouble in Little China/Escape From New York #1 in the top spot on Diamond's list by getting it added to Loot Crate... oh you poor subscribers. Seriously, that is quite possibly the worst, if not close to the worst, comic I've read all year. Basically this month's box kinda sucked and felt pretty light on merch.

Review: The Killer Inside Me #3

By Mike Badilla

Jim Thompson's 'The Killer Inside Me' is based on an old book of the same name. It's now a comic. It's supposed to be a glimpse into the mind of a serial killer long before we knew about men like Dahmer and Gacy and all those family favorites. This is issue 3 of 5, and I haven't read 1 or 2, so this may not be the most succinct review of the story so far, but I sure do like serial killers, so lets dive in.

Review: Night's Dominion #3

By Laramie Martinez

The last two issues of Night’s Dominion have taken us through an interesting and exciting world at a breakneck pace. We’ve seen a team come together, a heist go awry, and uncovered a conspiracy underneath the city. This issue, by comparison feels like the issue where we pay the piper. Slower than the previous two, Naifeh introduces a lot of new characters and storylines. While I have previously welcomed his twists and turns of the narrative. The ones introduced here feel like he’s trying to do too much. Overall, the pacing doesn’t ruin the issue but it does bring it down from the heights this series has achieved in the past.

Review: Frostbite #3

By Mike Badilla

Frostbite. From about 12 seconds of research online, I've found that this series takes place in the future. Global warming has caused the world to become a frozen wasteland. We see how people are reacting and living in this future time. Every one loves apocalyptic future stories, right? Right? It's also being described as a 'western', but it takes place in a frozen Los Angeles. Hmm...

Review: Mobile Police Patlabor Reboot

By Robert Ramos

Dustin and I once had a brief discussion on the actual pronunciation of "Patlabor." Of course, I was ridiculed for how I knew it was pronounced but that didn't stop me from trying to prove him wrong. Well, thanks to this seven minute reboot, I can prove that I am in fact correct. Glorious.

Review: Tokyo Ghoul vol. 10

By Dustin Cabeal

Well, this is a paramount volume if you’re reading Tokyo Ghoul. Where to begin? Listen, there’s a lot I could tell you about this volume. A lot happens. There’s more reveals in this one volume than there have been in the last four volumes combined. Hell, probably more if I could remember specifics of the other volumes.

Review: Snotgirl #4

By Dustin Cabeal

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. It still hasn’t and with this issue I feel like I did after the first issue. Excited, confused, and anxious for more. In this issue, so many minor things happen it’s hard to talk about it without spoilers, but even with spoilers, I don’t know if it would make sense without reading it.

Review: Masamune-kun’s Revenge vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

Well, lesson learned; don’t read the description on Amazon if you’re buying manga. The main reason being that the “pitch” for Masamune-kun’s Revenge clearly has information about where the series proceeds rather than pertaining to this particular volume.

Review: Haikyu!! vol. 1 through 7

By Dustin Cabeal

I don’t particularly like reviewing a bunch of manga together, but this is a series that I fell behind on and then got caught up on all in the same day. I didn’t see the point of writing seven reviews that will all say pretty much the same thing. That and the fact that I’m watching the anime and have no idea which came first the chicken or the egg, and I don’t particularly care.

Review: The Goddamned #5

By Chris Tresson

I’m not one for biblical shite. Never been a religious guy and quite frankly, I try to avoid any sort of religious stuff at all costs… But I have been reading Image Comics’ The Goddamned. It’s back from whatever happened to it and I haven’t got a fucking clue where it left off, so I’m just going to stumble through this and pretend like I remember what happened before… Let’s see what Jason Aaron and R.M. Guéra have been up to.

Review: So Cute It Hurts!! vol. 10

By Dustin Cabeal

Go ahead and guess how many of the previous volumes of So Cute It Hurts!! I’ve read? Zero. Hey, they send them, I read them and do my best to review them. This volume is what I would call a payoff volume as it has a lot of reveals and storyline conclusions. It’s the volume long time readers have been waiting for.

Review: A.D.: After Death - Book One

By Jordan Claes

I remember the first time I ever really questioned or attempted to come to terms with death and my own mortality. It was shortly after the passing of my grandfather: I was twenty-five years old, I’d never experienced real loss in my life and for the first time I felt like I truly understood what it was to miss someone. Just little things at first: the intangible, indescribable parts that comprise the whole.

Spirited Away Could Be Coming To A Theater Near You!

By Robert Ramos

So...I'm probably going to get so much shit by people on this site and off, but I do not care for Hayao Miyazaki or any of the film's he's directed. Just never been a fan of the character designs or story concepts from his movies, regardless of the rich storytelling they may provide. Whatever. If you're a fan of either Miyazaki or Spirited Away, and if it's available in your area, you should definitely check this out! Dubbed to be shown on December 4 while subbed on December 5.

Trailer Time: Legend from Z2 Comics

By Dustin Cabeal

Hey the trailer for Legend is out because tomorrow the trade is out. I plan on reading it at some point since I'm reading as many trades and OGN's before I do my end of the year list. At the very least, trailers are fun and easy to watch so do that!
