Review: Secret Identities #2

Secret Identities #2 gives us a bit more of the team dynamic. There’s some shady business that one of the members might be involved in. Mostly I’m still trying to keep track of how many members are on this team. Six? We just don’t know.

Review: Borderlands #7

I really don't know what to expect when I open this comic. That goes for all the elements. I don't know if the jokes are going to be funny. I don't know what the story is going to involve. I don't know what the general quality will be.

Review: Weekly Shonen Jump #16

I miss all the Jump Start series, and there was no One Piece this week, so the issue felt a little empty. But it's hard to complain after getting nearly 1000 pages in the past few weeks, and a lot of these manga are performing well.

Review: Transdimensional #1
Review: Transdimensional #1

By Justin McCarty

I picked up Transdimensional having no prior knowledge of the subject. Not even the Kickstarter description. If I had, I probably would have skipped it. I am probably one of five comics fans that don't get into sci-fi horror. The Kickstarter describes the comic as being a sci-fi horror in the same family as Alien and The Abyss. I’ve seen Alien maybe (just the one - sad face from you probably), not The Abyss. I wasn’t the proper audience for this comic. However, if I was into this type of story, I could see its appeal.
