Review: Sally of the Wasteland #5

How dare you make me feel emotions while reading this comic! I expected light-hearted moments, with a lot of demented deaths that made me chuckle. Instead I actually wound up caring about our title character Sally and yes even her “never gonna happen” boyfriend.

Review: Sundowners #4

I’m not sure if it’s saying much if you’ve read my most recent Sundowners review, but this was by far my favorite issue since the premiere. Thanks to a mixture of more focused storytelling, interesting action scenes, and a greater sense of the apocalyptic stakes, Sundowners looks to be doing a turnaround from the type of early death that one of its characters faces this week.

Review: Rasputin #2

When I finished this issue, I said to myself, “is that it?” I was genuinely quite surprised at how abruptly this second installment ends, but then that surprise evolved into disappointment at how slowly this book is moving forward. In my review of the first issue of Rasputin I said that it was flawed but had potential, and I still feel that way about the book now. But I’m starting to wonder just how long this book will take to fix the flaws that are currently weighing it down.

Review: Dark Engine #4

Dark Engine is one of the seemingly endless titles that Image is pumping out these days, but unlike some of the publisher’s risky, even unworthy endeavors, I’m afraid this quirky, unfortunately unsung fantasy book may get lost in the shuffle of big-named mediocrity (like this week’s fucking abysmal Ody-C, for example).

Review: Memetic #2

In a month where Kim Kardashian’s prominent assets saw fit to purportedly “break the internet” - but really just led to a viral outbreak of stellar photoshopping - it is perhaps a no-more-fortuitous time for pop culture to address the ramifications of unchecked meme-ing. I mean, what if that image of KK’s “hey-hey” was somehow corrupted by, say, a neurological virus that made us eat each other? We’d all be super fucked right now, amirite?

Review: TMNT #40

I couldn’t be more thrilled to see Alopex and Angel ganging up together. I mean with Bebop and Rocksteady in the picture, and then you throw on Hob with some more mutant creations of his, you are bound to have one crazy event. So of course two women, Angel and Alopex need to step in and save them all. Yeah, if you haven't been keeping up with this series some serious shit is going down.
