Review: Southern Bastards #5

The world lost one bad motherfucking shitkicker in September with issue 4 of Southern Bastards. Issue 5 is where Jasons Aaron and Latour start to let us in on who this implacable douchebag was that Earl Tubb lost his life to in an effort to clean his town up, even just a little bit.

Review: Captain Midnight #16

There is no doubt that Joshua Williams, Fernando Dagnino, and sometimes Manuel Garcia’s Captain Midnight has been one of my favorite reads out of the Dark Horse comic stables. It has been ushered as the flagship title of Project Black Sky and arguably it has been the best of each Black Sky title with only a couple coming close.

Review: Critical Hit #2

After talking to creator and series writer Matt Miner I think I understand this series better, not that I was terribly confused by the rebranding, but just better. Critical Hit is more comic booky and while that almost sounds like a dirty word, it really isn’t. Whereas Liberator was heavily grounded in the real world and a serious look at animal cruelty, Critical Hit is a more dramatic approach.

Review: Rogues! The Burning Heart #1

I don’t think there’s any other series that’s as easy to enjoy as Rogues! The series is lighthearted, full of action and occasionally dripping with sexuality. It’s like Conan if he wasn’t such a hardass and could enjoy life. The thing that makes this series great is that you never worry about the characters. I never once have this fear that things are going to get serious or that they’ll die.

Review: Sonic Boom #1

Sonic Boom number one is a brand new series from Archie Comics that team up Sonic the Hedgehog with all his friends from the TV show and the video games. In this new series, the story takes places in Tropical Island and we are introduce to the team via a fight with Dr. Eggman. The book quickly introduces you to each character and it gives you a quick character moment and what they do.

Review: Beast Commandos #1

Call me traditional, but when a comic book cover shows a guns-blazing, cigar chomping anthropomorphized soldier shark jumping out of an explosion and away from a team of similarly angry, human-looking animals, led by a rip-diesel walrus mugging-out in a high-collar white polo and clutching a SuperSoaker, I’m probably going to read it.

Review: Planet Gigantic #1

I’m happy to see Planet Gigantic at Action Lab Entertainment. Creators Eric Grissom and David Halvorson gave me a look at the zero issue a while back after giving them much praise for Deadhorse one of my indie darlings. Planet Gigantic is nothing like Deadhorse as it’s more of a throwback title in the vein of, and I hate to say this, old Kirby cosmic adventures.

Review: Roman Ritual #1

Things are royally messed up in the Catholic Church. I can say that because it’s what Roman Ritual #1 is all about: possessions, exorcisms, disturbed patriarchs, and priests with shady pasts.

Review: Rasputin #1

Rasputin, the so-called “mad monk” of Russia who gained influence in the days of the last Tsar, has fascinated many history-buffs for decades. He was mysterious, said to have healing powers, and thanks to his creepy appearance has seen many creative types re-imagine him as something even stranger than he actually was.
